I use Linux for all my server environments, but it just cannot compare to MacOS for Desktop use. The app ecosystem is severely lacking.

Linux doesn't even have a decent modern email app. The best option there is Thunderbird, which is quite good but not really on-par with the offerings on Mac. Apps like Sparrow, Mimestream, Spark etc have no Linux equivalent. Mimestream is my choice due to its deep Gmail integration.

And this is just email.

You're right about this, including with backdoors. Electronics from China must be treated as treacherous computing devices that obey the orders of the Chinese Communist Party.

> I thought we were done pushing the complete protein thing?

By "complete protein" I just meant that you need to have all the essential amino acids in your diet, not that they all need to be contained in the same dish. However, AFAIK all animal proteins do contain all the essential amino acids in a single dish, which makes it a lot easier to make sure you are getting them all. So any plant protein that is going to be a good meat substitute should have that same property.

> soy is a complete protein. 3. Soy is also a legume.

Agreed, that was a mistake on my part.

>The greatest leverage in a salary negotiation comes from the freedom to actually quit

Leverage comes from alternatives to an agreement.

The asymmetry in negotiations is that in most circumstances, employees or candidates tend to have zero (remaining unemployed) or one (remaining at a job) alternatives.

People think they have more alternatives, but there's a huge difference between an alternative at an exact moment, and alternatives that are theoretical within days, weeks or months.

Employers have alternatives, even if they aren't great, right now. So you're not on an equal footing whether you are interviewing or talking to your current employer.

Not to mention, when you do have leverage, exploiting it to the hilt can poison or destroy a future relationship.

> I will re-post some thoughts I have previously shared from John P.A. Ioannidis who is a professor of medicine and thoughtful critic of medical research

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Ioannidis#COVID-19

> In an editorial on STAT published March 17, 2020, Ioannidis called the global response to the COVID-19 pandemic a "once-in-a-century evidence fiasco" and wrote that lockdowns were likely an overreaction to unreliable data.[14] He estimated that the coronavirus could cause 10,000 U.S. deaths if it infected 1% of the U.S. population, and argued that more data was needed to determine if the virus would spread more.[28][5][14] The virus in fact eventually infected far more people, and would cause more than 600,000 deaths in the U.S.[29][28][5] Marc Lipsitch, Director of the Center for Communicable Disease Dynamics at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, objected to Ioannidis's characterization of the global response in a reply that was published on STAT the next day after Ioannidis's.[30]

> Ioannidis widely promoted a study of which he had been co-author, "COVID-19 Antibody Seroprevalence in Santa Clara County, California", released as a preprint on April 17, 2020. It asserted that Santa Clara County's number of infections was between 50 and 85 times higher than the official count, putting the virus's fatality rate as low as 0.1% to 0.2%.[n 1][32][29] Ioannidis concluded from the study that the coronavirus is "not the apocalyptic problem we thought".[33] The message found favor with right-wing media outlets, but the paper drew criticism from a number of epidemiologists who said its testing was inaccurate and its methods were sloppy.

Okay then.

Nothing like spending a career picking apart people's research and then generating absolutely garbage research outside your field of expertise, that is widely criticized by people who are actually the experts in that field...as being inaccurate and sloppy.

I specifically said boosters.

However, there is no data on the long-term effects of the COVID vaccines, mRNA or otherwise. That's an indisputable scientific fact. They just haven't existed long enough for that data to be available. Hopefully a decade from now we'll discover that they were safe.

We do have data on the long-term effects of Ivermectin.

Someone who is not concerned about COVID will take neither a vaccine nor Ivermectin. Someone who is concerned about COVID but who is also concerned about the long-term effects of the vaccine may opt to take Ivermectin. It's their choice. It could also end up being the wrong choice.

> It's important to note that almost all of the land that cattle are raised on is unsuitable for any other purpose.

This is blatantly false. It might have been true 70 years ago, but not since the rise of CAFOs or a large international beef market.

* ~70% of US beef comes from a CAFO (where the primary feedstock is corn) [0].

* In the US alone the amount of corn diverted to livestock feed (predominantly beef) could feed 800 million humans [1].

* Brazil produces ~15% of the world's beef (2013) and much of this land (65 Mha) was reclaimed from the Amazon [2].

Yeah there's almost no way that's true. Maxmimum bison population in North America was never more than 50 million. US alone has 90M head of cattle, Canada and Mexico have ~10 million each.

Also Bison grew at natural rates and lived for 20+ years... Beef cattle are slaughtered around 2/3 years - so you're turning over ~2,000lbs of mass per head every few years. Just an unfathomably massive industry.
> I'll never work for a company with public pay. I don't want equality, I want to be able to negotiate my value to the company whether that is more or less than others.

I don't understand how this affects your ability to "negotiate your value" in the first place. The party you're negotiating with already has this data, regardless of whether you yourself have it as well or not.

I think that telling your workers not to discuss pay is BS.
I also think publicly posting pay is BS as well.
They are opposite ends of the spectrum of extreme secrecy to extreme openness.

I have a few friends in the industry that candidly discuss compensation, and it's great to understand where one stands/what is achievable.

Besides pay for performance, experience and seniority..

Compensation is very path dependent.

PersonX stayed in a job paying low raises for 10 years keeping their head down until they got cut, then took the first job they could find.

PersonY actively manages their career, moves every 5-7 years, moving proactively when a new firm entices them with better pay.. not when they are desperate to get out of current role / in between jobs.

Of course if these two people land in the same firm in a similar role, they are going to come in at different salaries.
It's more than just negotiation. PersonY may value themselves, in terms of compensation, more than PersonX because the path they've taken them has lead to higher salary. They therefore require an even higher salary to be enticed to move.
I personally think that "vegan meat replacements" will only get better. We may never beat a rare veal steak but we'll get close.

Sorry, but you've got the wrong take here. Google is presenting this service as a reliable place to store and share files. They have a responsibility to provide adequate human customer service. Sure, people shouldn't trust them, but not everyone follows Hacker News to know how common this sort of thing is. Regardless of whether the next person should trust Google, the right thing to happen here is for Google to restore access to these files, not to blame the victim.

Let's put it this way, I haven't seen any evidence based on what I've seen that this isn't the normal interaction with a pharmacist after decades of seeing pharmacists myself, or sitting waiting for my parents to get medicine filled,
or watching other users interact with pharmacists while I've been waiting in line, etc., across multiple pharmacies in multiple cities.

If there's a more personal and intimate pharmacist reaction that you see as common (or even uncommon), please share those details for me. I would love to have an example otherwise.

> It's important to note that almost all of the land that cattle are raised on is unsuitable for any other purpose. They aren't grazing cattle in Manhattan, it's in places like rural Australia or Texas where there is no infrastructure, no arable land, and no human population that is competing with the cattle population for resources.

Traditionally yes, but my understanding is nowadays, at least in America, a lot of cattle are fed grain in industrial feedlots.
I think it's because animal cells already know how to grow into the flavor / texture profile we're used to. I don't think anyone knows how to fake that convincingly out of constituent parts (or we'd have it already!)

For certain definitions of "free" and "naturally". But certainly not free of side effects on the environment: land and water use with deforestation and water crises, pesticide runoff, pesticide resistance, increased transportation costs and pollution for supplies and feed, increased transfer of disease (swine flu), increased CO2 and methane production. And also increased animal suffering.

This aligns with some other stuff I've read. But it's not necessarily the case everywhere - apparently there's a suspicion that the difference between dairy from grass fed and grain fed cows may be a big factor in the differences that different studies report. In Europe, Australia, New Zealand, etc. most dairy is grass-fed, which apparently makes it much higher in fat soluble vitamins (especially K2), Omega-3 fats, Conjugated Linoleic Acid, etc., some or all of which may be more-than cancelling out any negative factors from things like the saturated fat, so most studies with cohorts from these regions show dairy to have some net positive effect to health long term. Whereas the studies that show increased cardiovascular risk tend to be more from places like the US, where dairy cows are apparently more likely to be fed from soy etc. (It may also be a factor that more dairy in the US is probably more sweetened too, like yoghurts etc.?).

Apparently removing fat is also a bad thing if you're starting from good dairy, because you're also taking away a lot of the really good fat-soluble vitamins. But if you're starting from grain-fed dairy that doesn't have much of that to start with, reduced fat dairy is perhaps better.

They don't need to put a dollar amount on ROI of Alexa to develop it. Alexa is a loyalty-generating machine. Even if you never use it to make a purchase, it helps the brand, and it keeps you using Amazon products.

Electric cars are sold to wealthy people so they can maintain their lifestyle with a fresh narrative of being the solution. Meanwhile, a few meters of road being built releases massive amounts of crap to the air.

I would argue that there is something about the physical interaction that is scrolling. you can scroll at the same time you are reading--this makes the text more of a moving target, and then your "reading" becomes mere scanning. it's hard to shift out of that shallow level of engagement once your there because it's by definition a distracted state, you're trying to just get the gist of this and move onto the next thing you just know is out there which you will actually want to read.
