Dictionary time again:

verb: replace; 3rd person present: replaces; past tense: replaced; past participle: replaced; gerund or present participle: replacing

1. take the place of.
"Ian's smile was replaced by a frown"

2. put (something) back in a previous place or position.
"he drained his glass and replaced it on the bar"

Using "replace" implies in situ (which is false as you admit), or else you seem to think the page owns all your display and OS-mediated window-system attention "surface area". It does not, no page even needs to show for an opt-in Brave User Ad to be posted.

So as you've kindly admitted the "in a previous place or position" sense is false, you must mean any page owns your eyeballs if it's anywhere near a user ad. I demur and so do our users. Publishers don't own your eyes, desktop, toolbars, tab strip, new tab pages, or notification channels.
We're not talking about harrassment, we're talking about google thinking this is a violent terrorist who is sharing pictures of their armored vehicles.

Can you really say with a straight face that once google thinks they have a terrorist, they should just go on supporting that person in any way whatsoever? There can be very serious penalties for knowingly aiding terroristic acts (even if it turns out it was say a "harmless" fed or informant instead of an actual terrorist).
Social media is what you make of it. I use twitter to interact with a few close friends and see nice stuff that I couldn't share with my family or at work. It's great! But like a garden, you have to protect it, and tend it. That means for me having a private account, following a small number of people, muting stuff I don't like, desactivating retweets I don't like, carefully picking who can follow me. I have no chance of making viral content with that account, and I don't meet many new people, but it's a tradeoff.
Can't we all just get along !? :)

FWIW, I've used iPhones for 11 years, I've had a bunch of iPads for media use on-the-go and kids, and I even have a macbook pro that my employer provided (a very nice $3,000 monitor riser)

But most of my home machines are Windows 10. I've lived in the MS ecosystem since the DOS 3 era and that's where I feel most at home. Using macOS is a frustrating experience for me, it feels like a toy environment (though I'm sure some folks feel the same about Windows if they've grown up in the mac world).

That said, I've been toying with Linux every now and then; I've got a couple of Raspberry Pis in the house that I self-manage (for things like pi-hole, nas, vpn tunnel, etc.), I've been using WSL2 and Docker on my PCs and even have an older laptop running Arch that I sometimes poke at. I regret not getting more serious into Linux before; it's difficult to switch now, but I don't like where MS is taking Windows (funneling everyone into their Bing / ADs with Edge being pushed aggressively and search / news being shoved more and more deeply into the OS) so I'll have to begrudgingly leave my place of comfort in search of lost freedom.
I do have times when I look at my phone and think about the first "computer" I touched. I'm still amazed sometimes of how tech changed since I was 6-7 years old(talking almost 40 years)

I'm no fan of lab growing anything because or banning people from raising animals or having food plots because those that make the food make the rules. That being said... I wouldn't be suprised to see, in 2-3 decades, something taking off in that regard. All it takes is one stroke of genius and a ton of elbow grease to change it all.
I agree but important to note that "less" really just means similar to what people ate a few generations ago or what some people still eat today, like around the Mediterranean and Italy. Eating vast quantities of meat has never been normal. Traditionally an entire family would consume one large animal a year (like a pig) and a few smaller ones like chickens. The bulk of the diet should be vegetables.
Important to note that only 1:1 calls are E2E encrypted and larger calls are forwarded to a SFU that 8x8 calls "Jitsi Videobridge" where they are decrypted, processed in memory, and then re-encrypted for each participant stream.
I lately bought a refurbished HP 15s with Ryzen 5500U (and AMD graphics). This thing runs way cooler than any Intel laptop I ever used in the past, even under load. The track pad is surprisingly good for a non-MacBook; still not as good but it's IMO fairly close.

I admit I don't care much about total time on battery though. I'm a dev and I need the full performance so never tinkered with power profiles and such. To me it's "100% the CPU power at all times or get out".

Just an anecdote.
It's a bad translation. "People's daily newspaper" should translate 人民日报 (the newspaper you mention); 人民报 contains no "daily" element.
I haven’t said it before, but I’ll say it again.

Don’t host your important shit on Google!

It’s pretty much the worst place you can use as a backup service.
The article contradicts itself here:

> "And yet, at a projected cost of $450 million, GFI’s facility ..."

> " cultured protein is going to be even 10 percent of the world’s meat supply by 2030, we will need 4,000 factories like the one GFI envisions ..."

> "Each of those facilities would also come with a heart-stopping price tag: a minimum of $1.8 trillion ..."

The last sentence is clearly a mistake -- the 4,000 factories in total would cost $1.8 trillion. Thus replacing all meat with those would cost $18 trillion -- less than 20% of the world's GDP. So clearly feasible, but still not realistic.
Spam won. The entire web is spam now. It's all deceptive crap trying to grab your eyes. That's why we accept clickbait headlines as normal.

Ag is subsidized to the hilt. That’s why food is so cheap. That and borderline wages for labour.

We only subsidize commodity ag that is publicly listed in financial markets.

This is also the reason why food growing(non commodity market) farms don’t get sufficient investment or experience the benefits of cutting edge tech. Investors can see returns on already optimized markets because there is room to introduce new services and products..that is enhanced by AI and subsequently data collection on steroids.

None of this is going to end well. Hubris. We need to consume less meat, automate Ag and focus on plant based nutrition(not fake meat altho cell based vat created meat has its place).
I am also skeptical of meta-analyses.

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. He often raises good points about trends in research and research ethics. His view is that meta-analyses are mass produced, redundant, misleading, and conflicted [1]!

One criticism of meta-analyses in [1], using anti-depressants as a case study: "the results of several meta‐analytic evaluations that addressed the effectiveness of and/or tolerability for diverse antidepressants showed that their ranking of antidepressants was markedly different. These studies had been conducted by some of the best meta‐analysts in the world, all of them researchers with major contributions in the methods of meta‐analysis and extremely experienced in its conduct. However, among 12 considered drugs, paroxetine ranked anywhere from first to tenth best and sertraline ranked anywhere from second to tenth best."

I like this quote because it highlights the conflict of interest and misleading-ness(or at least reproducibility problems) with meta-analyses. Antidepressants have a huge amount of primary research dedicated to them. They also have the attention of researchers experienced in meta-analysis. Yet, meta-analyses do not agree with each other (and in fact they strongly disagree with each other).

Yet another silly messaging app. Why not just use an open protocol like Matrix and have done with it? Makes far more sense than this.

Nobody asked for their browser to be a messaging system in 2021, nor for exclusivity of initiation based upon browser. Lol?
This article seems to miss that a number of people use groups on social media to organize activities in real life and keep in touch with family, and the nontechnical friends and family aren't up to the task of building their own solutions for this. For these uses it isn't a substitute for a fulfilling life but rather a help. And unfortunately network effects often mean that the only effective option is to use a service that most people are on.
I think the distinction between being compelled by the sword and compelled by fear of the sword is pretty meaningless here. Unless these companies are independently deciding to push this out due to some internal zealous managers that reject the general CCP platform I think it's pretty safe to lay the blame at the feed of the party.

There's also all sorts of pretty reasonable whataboutism to be thrown about here but it's wrong either way.
Most people are not technology savvy let alone HN elitists. When I talk to non tech people about stuff like this I get a lot of blank stares. Whenever I’ve said if the service is free then your are the product I get even blanker stares.

Most normal people wouldn’t consider using Google Drive as being careless with there data. They would actually considering it being smart as Google is one of the largest tech companies.

Put yourself in someone else’s shoes for a minute. People who have these kids of hobbies do it because it’s their passion and a lot of times, the best ones at least, don’t have a lot of disposable income to spend on said hobby.

> Getting people to stop beef in countries where it's not a problem is a waste

It's a problem. Most americans consume way more meat than what they could possibly need and they do it because they've heard they need lots of protein which could come from many other sources besides dead animals.
> The entire public health apparatus in the West has a huge desire to treat all illness with only on-patent, new medications.

This and

> The vast majority of the studies about Ivermectin have been observational, run by front-line clinicians.

> Prior to 2020, basically everyone on earth agreed (including the WHO, who STILL agrees) that front-line clinicians and observational studies are excellent signals that can lead to scientific investigations that can lead to medical breakthroughs.

and

> Doctors in my area are prescribing IVM to treat covid because in their experience and that of their peers IT WORKS. They have fewer deaths, fewer complications.

Don't really add up. Best case interpretation of your argument is that you think doctors are split in half - not wholly aligned behind novel treatments - the "throw shit at the wall and see what sticks" group and the "only throw new custom expensive stuff at it" group, but even that doesn't really match what I'm seeing.

A large number of doctors are out there throwing all sorts of things at a new disease because nobody knows what works yet. The data is going to be incredibly messy. One thing that has looked effective in many cases is steroids, very much not new. Other things that looked potentially effective haven't continued to look effective as more studies have been done.

Where's the massive pushback against steroid treatment if this is an institutional greed thing?

It looks to me much more like some people get married to their early hunches and dig in hard when the evidence doesn't pan out.

Throw enough shit at the wall in enough places and all sorts of false leads are going to appear. Some of them getting shot down isn't a conspiracy. It's how we learn.
Looking more at things like #2. Sidekiq isn't terrible though, and if you get big enough, you're going to want some more management than just spawning a BEAM process to do something. What have people settled on for that with Elixir/Erlang?
You'd use the optimistic UI features that LiveView ships with out of the box to handle the arrow click, and you wouldn't await a server round-trip for each keypress, so again that's now how LiveView form input works. For posterity, I linked another blog where I talk exactly about these kinds of things, including optimistic UI and "controlled inputs" for the keyboard scenario:
https://dockyard.com/blog/2020/12/21/optimizing-user-experie...

While we can draw parallels to game servers being near users, I don't think it makes sense for us to argue that LiveView should take the same architecture as an FPS :)
"Neoliberal", "big pharma", "Weinstein", "c19ivermectin.com", "fake news", "Israel", "the new normal", "censorship", "George Orwell", "gene therapy".

I can't tell if this is a real account, or gpt-3 generated comments seeded from a couple Breitbart and Infowars articles.
I wonder if the problem is as big as they are painting it.

There is no atmosphere and very little gravity.

The exhaust gasses expand out in a hurry and any particles should not be spending time in any kind of vortices -- should travel outward in a straight line along with the exhaust.

It could technically be possible for things to maybe rebound (maybe if there are rocks nearby) and come back at the pad?
Radio is currently the only realistic means of interstellar communication at our disposal, so we listen for (and sometimes send [1]) radio waves.

In other words, we look for aliens equipped with radio telescopes, because they are the only kind we can hope to find.

The choice of language follows from that. To have technology at the level of radio telescopes, you need to understand physics at mid-20th century level (or higher). To understand physics at that level, you need math at the level of calculus and differential equations.

So we look for, and sometimes send, messages which start with simple mathematical relations and then build up to physical quantities.

That's a fair criticism, though is there any technical reason someone couldn't write a Metal->OpenGL or Metal->Vulkan or Metal->Direct3d wrapper?
Having written system extensions (both kext and DriverKit), that seems more like an issue with the extension itself.
For some more context why such a device is desirable:

Mainboard-built-in KVMs provided by server vendors are usually buggy as hell closed-source horrors, with regular full-compromise holes that make running them over the Internet a complete gamble.

This is why open-source KVMs that are just as secure as other normal Linux servers, and auto-upgradable, are very desirable.
I am super happy with Manjaro. I only briefly tried Arch and when I realized I have to manually assemble everything I expect from an everyday OS I was just "NOPE!" and went to Manjaro. Very happy user.

Even their installer is actually a live environment where you can do whatever you like, and you also have the "Install Manjaro" button on your desktop. A ready and working desktop environment for you to do stuff in while the OS is installing. A rarely well-polished Linux experience.

I agree macOS feels like a toy. I use it full time for 2.5 years now and I still can't shake this feeling. Both on Windows (ever since 98 and all the way to 10) and several Linux GUI flavours I used, I could make keybinds for literally anything and everything and basically optimize my machine for super productivity. With macOS that's either not easy or requires buying several software packages to do.
Every time I find an old (sometimes just more than a few months) post, a lot of the comments have already been deleted (by users and sometimes mods). I'm more likely to add site:news.ycombinator.com than site:reddit.com to my query because of that. HN is smaller, but at least the discussions are always preserved.

I wish websites were less lenient on letting users delete posts/comments. I much prefer the HN model - no delete button, you have to contact moderators and you need a good reason, you can only delete individual comments, not an entire account.
Its our culture we should be proud of it. Especially since many of us were spending our childhoods together virtually. The internet was much different then but I sincerely appreciate it when those of us who were around then, in any capacity, reminisce.

There are no more new AOLers and those with fun memories associated with the platform are always going to be more special to me than many others just because that's where I learned to computer and I've many delightful experiences there.
Their excluded from sales taxes which go up to 9.55% state wide and higher in some locations. Taxing everything else but X, is a subsidy on X.
Lack of federation. Maybe "we" can maintain some complex free software, but it is them who cannot grow their userbase.
> is that it seems you now need to keep a connection with every connected client

But seriously, what is the problem with this? I am guessing you don't really have much experience with the BEAM. It's completely not-objectionable, there aren't many stability issues, and they are very light weight (maybe a couple of kB/process).

I believe (have not done this myself) you can do liveview over long-poll, since liveview only cares about there being Phoenix Channel, which abstracts over websocket/longpoll.

https://equip9.org/2020/01/06/phoenix-liveview-longpoll

One of the things I want to try for the gee-whiz factor is to build an Elixir WebRTC client and serve liveview over a WebRTC data channel. I see no reason why that shouldn't work.
There's nothing additional I can share at the moment. We're working as hard as we can to get this thing into production-ready shape :)
I think it ought to fall afoul of "informed consent." Did someone actually consent to paying without being informed of the price, or is it non-consent by virtue of being coerced by lack of information?
>They are the worst pirates I've ever heard of.

They are. They don't even know how to pirate.

The best pirates would never use free open source solutions. They'd just take whatever corporate solution that's the flavor of the day and then use that with anxiety inducing cracks that will give your antivirus a heart attack.
Counter productive? To what? Their market cap continues to climb. No one gives a shit about their customer support, or lack there of.
Many thanks for the explanation Brendan!
Technically premature yes.

But I do have experience guiding me. It's not like I'm abstracting everything I do. So my efforts tend to pay off.
I read a post like this every week. How can they possibly claim they’re winning the battle.
So is Objective-C kinda going away after all?

If I did a greenfield iOS or OSX app would it be malpractice to do it in Objective-C?

What do you do when all speech takes place on corporate-owned platforms?
By "huge" I mean that the plausible set of circumstances in which someone loaned out a phone for a call is large.

It's one thing to put leverage on the already marginal. Another to haul upstanding citizens off for offering a stranger a phone call. Resistance would be huge. No matter how weak any perceived legal shield would be.
First thought after finishing the article: "Hmm, so there's more of us out there".
I wonder if lab-grown meat is also carcinogenic.[1]

Funds directed at educating the public on the amount of protein they actually need instead of high-protein diets would go a long way towards reducing energy consumption and emissions to help the climate. Lab-grown meat seems like the wrong direction when there are numerous good protein sources already.

An exemption when everyone else is taxed on the same commodity is a subsidy - the untaxed people/companies are free-riding on the rest of the infrastructure/services/etc. for which the other taxpayers are paying.

The result of giving a $100 tax exemption/credit is literally the same as no tax exemption/credit and sending a $100 check to the subsidized entity (except for the reduced overhead & bookkeeping on both ends).
I’ve not looked, but is there no GDPR style “download your data” tool?

I used that effectively to keep long term archives of all my Facebook conversations. Critical for remembering what happened when and cat photos.
you can't leave cows unattended. they wander off, get injured, fall ill, might be stolen, and all kinds of things. if they don't eat well enough they might not be worth slaughtering. you can either keep them in cages and attend to them there, with all the distasteful complications that brings, or herd them in large pastures at the cost of very difficult and dangerous skilled labor.

it will certainly require some training to attend to a bioreactor but assuming an eventual working model they seem much less problematic than a wandering animal, and would probably suffer less and get sick less than lots of caged animals.
I'm far too lazy to torrent crap at my age - it takes too long and it can be a pain to find what I want.
There was this Veratasium video recently about this very thing, apparently boredom is indeed crucial for creativity.
I am not arguing that I know anything to be right or wrong - I am not an epidemiologist or an infectious disease expert, or a doctor. I explicitly said that us non-experts are not able to verify these things on our own. I am saying that those communities of experts have decided that the question of ivermectin’s effectiveness is effectively settled. There are of course experts that disagree - there always are (I work in physics and we can’t even get 100% agreement on the standard model, for instance). But the group consensus of experts, supported by the scientific evidence, is that it either does not work, or the effect is small enough that it is not worth the risk - this is coming from acquaintances who work in infectious disease and medical research who have been working on Covid, who are part of that community.

I also never said shut down disagreement. That’s a straw man you created. Anti-vax is not a good-intentioned disagreement with sound scientific merit, it is a pseudo-science movement that actively and knowingly disregards the truth. Scientific freedom and discussion is important. Allowing pseudoscience to flourish under some strange argument that their positions are as scientifically valid as actual science, is, frankly, nonsense.
