> Why do we always have to make people's choices for them? They're grown adults capable of making their own decisions and their own mistakes. If they want to ignore the science and the credibility of the FDA process, they should be free to do so.

Because I am not a scientist and need an authoritative body that I can have some semblance of trust in to decide what medicine I can put in my body and a Dr can prescribe to me. And we have tried the unregulated route before and we had people taking cough syrup with heroine in it and other snake oils.

I mean, even with the FDA, we have people using animal dosage de-wormer to treat Covid with no evidence that it works and a lot of evidence that it will fuck up your guts...so as much as you want to play the "we're adults capable of making decisions" card, that statement really doesn't mean much in reality.
> Except for under-promotions ... since the program is unlikely to ever find itself in a situation where it would be useful to play one.

Not my proudest moment but I did cheese out a tie in an otherwise lost game in jr. high by moving into what would be a stalemate if opp naively queened his pawn. It was extra ugly because he moved, picked up his previously captured queen from the side of the board, put it down, but didn't take his hand off of the queen before realizing the mistake (literally any other piece would have given him a clear win). Had to get a ruling on whether he was committed, judge decided it was too late because he'd taken his hand off the pawn (I have no idea what the official rule is in this scenario). I still regret not just resigning, but 12 year old me could be a jerk sometimes.
> Then why do you start running forward instantly when you press “W” in counterstrike or quake? Why not just deploy servers closer to users?

You do both? Game client handles movements and writes game state changes to a server, which should be close to the user to reduce the possibility for invalid state behaviors? You really haven't seen online games that deploy servers all over the world to reduce latency for their users? What?

Both web apps and games do optimistic server writes. Both web apps and games have to accommodate a failed write. Both web apps and games handle local state and remote state differently.
Agreed actually, I don't use the 'spaces' feature other than for fullscreen PDF reading.

For me, BetterTouchTool is a godsend though, i can use the trackpad to 'grab' and 'resize' windows without hunting for the little <-> thing that's for some reason 0.5 pixels wide :D. BTT implements all of Windows' snappy edges and corners and whatnot.

I use Raycast (https://www.raycast.com/) as a cmd+space replacement and it's great and quick too

I remember reading about that when it happened. Of all the books to do it to, it had to be that one.
Agreed with you. FF was my main mobile browser when I could

-block ads

-modify default text size (so I could read websites like old.reddit.com without having to zoom in)

There were a whole lot of other great features that weren't dealbreakers without.

Now? It's just weird.
> set a minimum competency bar and then accept everyone who clears the threshold

Isn't this what they already do at a theoretical level? If you have 800 seats in a given class, you keep raising your admissions bar until you get ~800 qualified applicants.

Now we can discuss whether donations and legacy status should play into that bar or not, but I think that's a separate issue.
Noted, will keep it in mind in the future!

What on earth would be the point of that? Why should we encourage the development of new snake oil? Why encourage drug companies, which currently must provide evidence their drugs work, to pivot into snake oil? Do you think we are an enlightened people immune from the snake oil our ancestors used to fall for? Recent pandemic events would beg to differ!
I assume you're referring to https://powerbi.microsoft.com/ ?

What I'm seeing there looks as though it is targeted at people who make the decision to buy products like this, but not to use them. I'm not seeing what couldn't be done with Excel 365 alone. There are screenshots with verbiage about how well it works with Excel. And they look like...Excel.

I guess it supports R, and maybe makes it easier to seamlessly refresh a report. That's aggravating though, that it makes me suspect Excel might be purposely rough around the edges in order to not displace Power BI.

As I've said a few times, I like M and wish they'd commit to it.

I honestly suspect Microsoft is repackaging functionality that already existed for many years in their "ball of mud" software, with a shiny new wrapper and better defaults, but practically unusable, because people who license software are easily manipulated.

Power Automate is the most awful example of this I've used so far.

You say it's a competitor to Tableau, well, Tableau is a competitor to Qlikview, and I've used Qlikview and Excel enough to consider Excel better in every way that I care about. (My organization uses SharePoint, so that's how reports are usually distributed)
And yet even with all these complaints the product has tens of millions of happy users and is growing month over month.
Its extremely hard to get protein from just plants and fortified foods - cost wise and the amount of food you would have to consume vs protein rich meat.

You don’t “need” any specific foods as long as you meet micro/macro/caloric/fiber nutrition requirements. Some people like the taste and preparation of meat. The problem is the amount,type and quality of that meat.
I do remember that. Little key fobs with one time codes. But that's still 3 years later. But apparently according to some of these comments large tech places were using 2FA in 2000 and as early as '98 or '99 which still surprises me, not really having seen it become ubiquitous until recently, and really only around things for banking and purchasing.
No it's not. The US must lead in reducing environmental destruction and emissions because it leads in producing environmental destruction and emissions (per capita.)
This looks cool, but how does it work when your server is located 100ms away from the client?

Every interaction will take a minimum of 200ms to complete, which would become fairly noticable.

This is ok, but competing apps like Telegram had had this for ages. Hopefully the best app wins and capitalism does its trick.
> Hacker news is not social media. I have never recognized a user/username in between two sessions.

OK, let's call it a discussion forum instead. I'd still argue that is a subcategory of social media. The general shape of these things has been around since at least the BBS days.

These terms, however, don't seem to capture the difference I posited between identity-based and topic-based social-discussion-service thingies, and I don't think there exists a standard terminology to make this distinction at this time.
Presumably you can get a new watch battery for it, non?
In a nutshell: always have redundancy. And always verify that your redundancy works when you need it. Nothing worse than a broken backup.

Beyond that, it's a damn shame startups keep choosing Google for Google Plus or GSuite or Workhorse or whatever the fuck it's called now. The winning move is to not play with them.
A risky, probably decade-long proposition.
I'm not in that camp. I simply genuinely dislike FF mobile now, when it used to be the best browser available on Android.
The specs are open. Whatever is possible will happen. There are also people working on microcontroller cards and such niche things.
Not comparable. That's outright wage theft, not informational asymmetry.
Meat has been forbidden for peasants for much of human history, it increases testosterone levels, enhancing upper body strength and promoting disregard for authority. So there's now a huge push against access to meat for the lower classes (that is, anyone except the top 1-5%).

> The inactive tabs feature was met with significant criticism, because it turned out that if you had a large number of open tabs, it was now impossible to reach the list of "active" tabs without spending several seconds or minutes scrolling past the list of inactive tabs, every single time you opened the tab list

Anyone using Firefox on Android knows exactly what this person is talking about. This was my last straw before uninstalling Firefox for good.
I'd recommend thinking a little about the algorithms involved in efficiently assigning a nearby task to each dwarf and then planning a path for each dwarf to its destination.

It gets interesting pretty fast and a PhD would not hurt. :)

e.g. https://arxiv.org/abs/1906.08291

Would you maintain a roadmap telling you how to get from place to place, or just constantly replan? What happens when you change the available paths by building a wall or locking a door?
I think if you've been torrenting this entire time you're probably set for life - being looped into all sorts of movie sharing rings that you regularly seed for... but breaking into it fresh - it's tough.

Of course, but I’m still interested to hear who you would mention.
I think it will be Google downfall if they don't change.

No one wants to deal with a company that can shut you down any moment for no good reason and with no way to resolve the situation. If they continue like that, their dominance may be slowly eroded by smaller companies that actually care for all of their customers. It won't happen overnight, but once the movement has gained momentum, it will be hard for a giant like Google to adjust.
Even if you drive down staff salaries physician, nurse, and everyone else working in the hospital, the profits that are made from those changes would simply be pocketed by the CEOs and MBAs in the system.

Many business which successfully reduce costs don't pass on those savings to consumers.

I will also point out medical students graduate (after 4 years college and 4 years medical school) on average with $210,000 of debt and make $60,000 dollars a year while working 60-80 hours a week for 3-8 years of residency. While yes doctors after residency are well compensated they have gone through 11-16 years of post secondary education by the time they achieve these salaries. Cutting salaries without reforming medical school tuition and residency salaries would be a mistake.

As the MapReduce example shows, the domain knowledge is not necessarily locked in one head in cases like this. I haven't heard complaints from Googlers about how Jeff and Sanjay write unmaintainable code, either. My own non-Google experience is that extremely productive programmers tend to write code that's more readable, not less readable.
China emits less than half the greenhouse gases per capita irt the US. The US should begin by emitting at the rate of China, then we can all reduce together.
You can eat all the inferior substitutes, I'll stick to grass fed beef every day. There's no replacement for animal protein, it's the healthiest thing you can eat. Meat is well known to increase testosterone levels, promoting all sorts of beneficial effects on your metabolism and mental well being.
That argument would make far more sense if these anorexia laptops at least compensated for the removed ports with more USB ports. But no, you get the same pathetic 4 (at most) as always.

Even worse when they're the pathetic failure (host-side) that is USB-C, so nothing fits without a dongle anyway. Bonus points if you have to waste one of them for charging the laptop, yay!
The article says you need 40 000 of these to replace our meat consumption:

> Each of those facilities would also come with a heart-stopping price tag: a minimum of $1.8 trillion, according to Food Navigator.

You know what the total value of the entire worlds meat industry is today? Less than a trillion. So if we could run those labs for free, it would only take a bit over 80 000 years to for them to pay off. But of course they can't run for that long and they need manpower etc. Now if we mass produce those labs it might become cheaper, but will it really get ten thousand times cheaper?

Now, you could say that costs go down with scale. But we also know that projected costs of large projects rarely stay that low, likely those facilities would cost way more than that at first. And price would have to go down really quickly, as just building the first 10 would cost the equivalent of 20 year of meat production.

I don't understand why they didn't just use a pi; it would have been cheaper and easier. It already has ethernet and analog audio out.
I don't think ideas like veganism and lab grown meat are really about "saving the planet." I think most people have a lot of guilt and body horror for various reasons and would like to imagine there is somehow some perfect answer out there.

Saving the planet from climate change is the latest rally cry for people wanting to identify as do-gooders. For most such people, appearances matter more than reality.

Eating less meat than most Americans typically eat is probably a wise move for both your health and the planet. But extremes of this sort seem unlikely to really be the miracle solution people want.

If cost is any kind of meaningful proxy for resource use, I have difficulty imagining that the current prices cited in the article have any hope of ever becoming some kind of meaningful positive impact on human carbon footprint.
That's not even the most complex algorithm Tarn has implemented, I believe the ones he created for fluid dynamics are much more complex.

Any entity that can control an aspect of your life but doesn't give you the possibility to even talk to a human should not exist. I had to call the IRS today and with a little navigation cheat sheet, I found how to get ahold of someone with a 30 minute wait time. It sucked, but I spoke with a human that was very courteous. For a government agency, people dread it. But I at least have a ridiculous timeline to respond and can engage with a representative of the government. Google can virtually shut down your ability to access websites tied to an email, and now you're extraordinarily SOL without any recourse except for legal action. Not to mention they don't even tell you rules you violated if they give you the boot. Even the government today has to do that. But a private company? God forbid!
Regarding your edit, I do not disagree. DF does not require a PhD. It would help, but it is not necessary and the people downvoting you, in my opinion, are misusing the privilege.

That said, talking about downvotes on HN is pretty boring, so I won't be replying to responses to this comment.
Challenges to Making Sense of the 21st Century
Everyone's been gradually removing user empowerment features from browsers for years. I wonder if they just want us to get used to no or only a few curated extensions.
Ah yes, most people's testosterone levels would be too low without meat. lol

Regular exercise should help with metabolism and just about everything else you could imagine.
What industry do you work in? Sounds interesting to have many satellite images streaming in!
>To ignore the infrastructure and space that livestock use is making the implicit claim that livestock are 'free' instead of 'cheaper currently'.

No one is ignoring it. It is already baked into the cost of the meat.

Bollocks. What ICANN overreach? Creating around 2000 new top-level domains over 20 years at the request of the "global multi-stakeholder community" that anyone can be a part of? You prefer Handshake be the sole determiner? Why Alexa 100k not 10k or 1m? Who made them god of the root again?
This is exactly the argumentation I would love to see as well. It would be very interesting to compare scientific achievement coming out of Finland compared to, say, Alabama which is the first state to cross 5M people and thus comparable in population. Of course, I'm sure that analysis would be plagued by what subjectively counts as achievement.

Also, I was loose with my words. I didn't really mean few as in you could actually count the individuals. I meant more along the lines of the 1% of the population that has a PhD and at least making some minor contribution to academia.
That can be solved.

We can simply make factory farming illegal. We could cut out the factory farm middleman and raise, slaughter, or livestock ourselves.

We could have the state operate sprawling lab installations spanning thousands of miles.

It would be true moral progress- reducing the need for animal suffering- the people would be uplifted and less immoral.

When there is a moral society, there is a strong society. When there is a strong society- there can be world domination and the destruction of all geopolitical adversaries.
There are alternatives. People have to vote with their wallets. Some convenience may be sacrificed but you have to decide how valuable is your freedom and privacy.

I think the big difference is that with React a lot of interactions can be completed completely client side, with the server side component happening only after the fact (asynchronously).

I’ll grant you that that isn’t often the case, and recovering from inconsistencies is pretty painful, but I can see how people would go for that.

I kind of like the idea I can just build all my code in one place instead of completely separate front and back-end though.

Precisely. If I want to create weak evidence for a drug, I can just run a few dozen studies and statistics will take care of the rest. Drugs with real, but very small effects are also not very useful as they aren't going to move the needle much, and certainly not as much as the quite powerful placebo effect.
I'm a vegan but also not a fan of lab grown meat, it may sway some people but ultimately plants give enough that any special meat replacement product is just a diversion from the plentiful non-meat-centric cuisines and meal choices out there. Lab grown will always be compared to farmed animals and customers will always find something to critique or some difference to latch on to.

That said... the article only gave an aside to the massive animal ag subsidies in the US. A lot less people would eat animals if the real cost was apparent. Which isn't to say people shouldn't have plentiful food options, they should, but we probably have a better use for our money the subsidizing ones which are ethically questionable, destroy the environment, and typically aren't good for you either.

Is there a way to use FF Sync for on Chrome? I'm willing to give firefox on mobile another try but don't want to go all in with desktop just yet
>Commercial breweries are a reasonable comparison

You might enjoy the Humbird report: https://engrxiv.org/795su

Muscle cells can't tolerate shear forces yeast can, are much more easily poisoned by their own wastes, have a doubling time 12+ times slower, require sterile pharmaceutical-grade amino acids as a feed stock (which themselves cost $100+/kg), etc etc.

Humbird says commercial cell culture bioreactors don't get any bigger than 25 m^3, and have to be run in a clean room. Doesn't sound much like any brewery I've seen.

With plenty of investment you might get 2x better on any one of those metrics, but in order to compete with cows you have to be 100-1000x better on every single one.
> 16% is 60% more than 10%

Your article suggested that you could aim for 15-25% and not 10%. 16% is at the bottom of that range. I don't understand what point you're trying to make here.
You can use the DAC on the pi itself; you will not be able to tell the audio quality difference on any equipment you own (your ears included).

There is a stereo mini jack audio output on the pi. Just use that and don't waste your money on audio woo.

(This is also a standing bet of $5000 to anyone who can pass an ABX in front of me to discern the difference between the two in headphones of their own choosing. You pay if you lose.)
Considering that there is already at least 1 restaurant that serves lab-grown chicken, it is only a matter of time.

But complaining about a problem that Mozilla's already gotten rid of is counterproductive at best.
The other HN Linux user trope here is the (sadly predictable) fetishization of tiling window managers. I used these for years and they're really not that great. If you ask me these exhibit the exact same problem the author is trying to get away from. There are dozens and dozens of them, none of them are really that interesting or novel, so they change around the keybinds and come up with weird and obscure features just to try to stand out from the crowd. It's really a mess. And plus, basically all of them are broken when it comes to a mouse-driven workflow. I find them to be completely unusable for doing anything besides programming and typing documents.
There is also a less drastic technique: Carbon tax.
Natural meat production generates a massive amount of CO2 equivalent, this is currently free.

I would be curious to see how much the ton of CO2 equivalent would have to be taxed for lab-grown meat to become competitive.
I told someone I had catalogued over 20k songs and they thought that was insane. When I explain them my backup system they think I spend a fortune on it. I don't even have an NAS. Just a simple mirroring system with like 6 separate hard drives.

>it’s likely that due to bias in some work environments, women do need to meet more of the qualifications to be hired than do their male counterparts. For instance, a McKinsey report found that men are often hired or promoted based on their potential, women for their experience and track record.

A cynical person might suggest that this dynamic was set up precisely to exclude most women from consideration for desirable jobs.
