> After researching the impact the livestock industry has on our planet, I knew I wanted to get involved to stop it.

I applaud the desire to help humanity eat healthier and saner amounts of meat, but...

I remain unconvinced that creating relatively resource-intensive fake meats is better than using highly efficient non-animal meat[0]. Most people won't eat either one unless they have no choice, but if it comes to that one thing is much better for the planet than the other. And if it doesn't come to that, we're gonna burn the planet to ashes for our McRibs.

Isn't the real solution to eat less meat, as opposed to eating more fake meat?

I’m confident this is factually incorrect for a very very large subset of searches. Probably a majority.
Are you insinuating that kids that can't get scholarships are dummies? Who are all of these idiots that pay for college in your statement?

When you do a search on DuckDuckGo, they query Bing using an API and show the results that Bing return. DuckDuckGo is mostly Bing with some extra "value-added" embellishments.
Okay, that was fun; maybe even a bit educational. I am not the best with geography, but I was able to guess based off the distance, got it on my fourth guess. It's not like I'm up to date on the exports of each nation or anything.
This had been discussed a lot of times. All of those proposed uses are better served by regular databases

When crypto proposes something that *is*, rather than something that *could be* people will stop considering it as a big casino.

I'm definitely not snubbing you! I just basically don't remember anything. My brain has been sandblasted into statelessness a long time ago: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que....

I'm always happy to try to explain the intended spirit of this site, and how we interpret the guidelines, as best I can. But posting "what a shit country" isn't a borderline infraction—how do you think HN users from that country are going to feel when they read such a thing?

From your comment here, it sounds like you might be feeling that moderation is somehow personal towards you. I can tell you for certain that that's not the case. But I'm not sure what else to add that would make you feel better. I don't see any emails from you in the archive, so if you've emailed many times, you must not have mentioned your username.

There's lots of forgiveness - we don't want to exclude anybody who sincerely wants to use the site as intended. At the same time, your 0.002% argument doesn't work when it comes to breaking the rules, for the same reason you can't get out of a speeding ticket by saying "I drive below the speed limit 99.998% of the time".
I like that it has a hotkey for toggling it off and on, as well as some automation features for toggling it off when certain apps are in use. It's nice that windows has built in Night Light but it turns all my screen recordings orange.
Does that not work pretty much the same everywhere? On the rare occasion that I drive across the SR520 bridge across Lake Washington, they have no problem recognizing my Oregon plate and sending me a bill. Same when I drove through the Bay Area. Took them a couple weeks.

That is just not true. Just because the US invaded it does not equate imperialism. The intended purpose matters, and the US never wanted them as colonies or to install puppet regimes, or to exploit the resources.

> and what makes it worse is that everything seems to be distributed as source and has to be compiled.

You can distribute a binary shared library written in Rust, but make sure you're using a C-style public interface to preserve ABI stability and make it accessible to code written other languages. It's generally feasible to design such an interface and build Rust-friendly wrapper code that can be included in client projects - there are crates that will specifically make this easier. C++ punts on the whole ABI issue and is now facing ecosystem-wide breakage as a result.
Online articles about GIF were junk for the longest time - folks would reverse-engineer the 'header' and call out all the fields they found.

Unfortunately a GIF is a set of tagged records. They can theoretically occur in any order. But these amateur decoders would pick out fields where they 'knew' they would be.

Upshot: different tools have very different success rates decoding anything even slightly off-normal. So even though a GIF is a set of tagged records, you write them that way at your peril.

In other news, I wrote a GIF renderer that added features like sprites, animation and scripting. It was for a PocketPC game called Lexicon. Fun!
The point still stands. The server can use any number of heuristics to try and figure out traffic source but (1) it is still an approximation, since they can all be spoofed, and (2) the more strict you make the detection logic, the more regular users are affected as well.
Which doesn't reveal much. Underfunded military undermined by graft performing incompetently after period of peace is textbook Russia military adventurism. This has been happening for 100s of years. Important thing is RU military tends to get it's shit together under pressure and typically win, even if at stupendous costs. Most of RU equipment loss so far has been due to breakdowns, which is not surprising because shocking amount RU kit fall apart even during their military exercises. They have so many USSR era chassis in storage that doctrine is just to abandon. USSR / RU hardware in general are not engineered for longevity due to tech gap / low costs with assumption that they won't have long lifespan on the battlefield.
I’m rarely an expert on the broad keywords I search for. That’s why I’m searching: to learn.

I would use a search engine that makes some attempt to rank higher quality, more accurate information higher than others.
> "unbiased" doesn't mean "unfiltered". For example, I don't want spam or malware in my search results.

That seems like a cop-out to me. They're not filtering "spam or malware", they're filtering "Russian disinformation". What's next? Maybe OAN is "right-wing disinformation" and we should "filter" that too? What about fox news? How far can you use that excuse to say you're not biased?
The free market will decide what's a valuable search result or not, and I trust the freedom and liberty of people over any kind of curated, mutated ranking system.
Don't people spend less on gas though since everything is so tiny in Europe and nearby?
I appreciate the time you took to write this up. I think this is the clearest explanation I've had yet.

So, when I have a cold glass of beer and there's condensation on the outside of it, it's because molecules of water vapour bouncing around, cool down rapidly, lose their kinetic energy and end up being captured by the existing water on the outside of the glass?
They could just make truckers pay it all. They do the vast majority of damage to the roads as it is. For side roads we could just pay the old fashioned way with normal taxes. People without cars still benefit from the roads existence.
> $500 smartphone today would have cost tens of thousands of dollars only a few years ago, if it were even possible to manufacture then

Would you have spent ten thousand dollars on such a phone a few years ago? I wouldn't have. I'd have put that money towards renting a nice place to live.

Are you spending, today, ten thousand dollars to buy pre-production builds of next year's smartphone? Is it worth it to you?

The reason people buy smartphones today is because they're a few hundred dollars. That's the point where the cost of the thing falls far enough below the value it delivers to make it worth buying. You can buy one and use it to access your bank account and stress about how to pay back your credit bill next month. So even if that phone would have cost a million dollars decades ago, you don't feel like a millionaire because you aren't one. If you were a millionaire in the 1990s, you'd probably have a house with a swimming pool. If you were poor in the 1990s, you would be stressed about your credit card bill, but maybe doing it on paper.

If someone gave a million dollars to a poor person in the 1990s, they'd probably have spent it to pay off debt, get a roof over their head and feed their family, not blow it all on a prototype palm pilot, a portable TV, and a Cray. In other words, they wouldn't have spent $1,000,000 on smartphone-equivalent functionality, because that functionality would still only have been worth about $500 to them.

The technological deflation gave you a $500 phone, it didn't give you a million dollars of value.

We're at the point of disagreeing over opinion, but I'm pretty confident you'd lose that bet :) I say this as someone who usually orders the Impossible option. It is the first plant-based meat I've had that actually crosses the threshold into "good enough," but it's still noticeably inferior to a good beef burger. Most plant-based meats genuinely do suck, I prefer just forgoing those and doing a mostly-vegetarian diet, personally.

I think lab-grown meat has a much better chance than plant-based meats of satisfying the "want" of meat, while drastically lowering the environmental effects of eating meat. And again, I think pursuing both options is the best choice. I eat less meat thanks to Impossible, and I hope they continue to succeed.
Yeah, maybe the guy just has a sense of humor - something that your average software developer would mistake for being a reference to documentation
Do a 24 hour fast (or longer if you can) to feel the sensation of hunger, and train yourself to understand that "it's okay to feel hungry" and that you don't need to always have your stomach filled with food.

I started losing weight when I counted calories and switched to an intermittent fasting window where I only eat between Noon and 5 PM. Yes, I feel hunger when I wake up but I'm "OK" with feeling that way until I allow myself to eat at noon.
Agreed for sure. In either type of war though, I think we're agreed it's best to leave civilians out?
Buddy, think about the poor starving VCs. They got into certain coins at prices at fraction of a dollar. They need 10000x returns so they can keep putting 100m into a saas company that sales force can buy.

My parents would simply scream with a loud bang from a foot stomp or fist slam "Enough!" OR "shut up, the both of you!" which worked very well. Did not require purchasing anything, accounts or internet connection.

In the UK there are ANPR cameras everywhere. The police can and will pull your driving history (or at least when you passed the cameras), and if you are 'wanted' it will ping the local police force when you drive past one.

Does this exist in the US? This has been going on for nearly 20 years here.
>they're using it to find pages with similar text.

This is one vision of what a search engine's job is, but I'm not sure it's what most users are looking for. Even barebones pagerank goes far beyond just finding similar text - it uses structure of the web's link graph to estimate the quality of a page. Now obviously pagerank is not directly trying to ascertain which pages are truthful and which are not, but it is arguably using connectedness as a proxy - the assumption is that people tend to link to reliable, useful pages and tend not to link to incorrect, harmful ones.

Does vanilla pagerank also violate your boundaries for what a search engine should do?
> As it stands the major Chicago to New York and New York to DC routes are tolls almost the entire way. The nation paid for those routes, and now pays to use them as well.

Actually, no, the nation did not pay for those. The NJ, PA, OH, IN, and IL toll roads you're talking about were built with state-issued bonds, not Interstate money, because they're older than the Interstate laws. They got Interstate numbers later, purely as a matter of convenience for travelers trying to get from A to B. The only federally-funded Interstate that I know of that is allowed to charge tolls is the WV Turnpike, and that only because it was so horrifically expensive to build and yet was so valuable to the nation as an artery.

The Richmond-Petersburg Turnpike is another such road (I-95 now), but tolls were removed when I-295 bypassing the area was built. There are other state-built toll roads in greater Richmond that continue to be tolled. The Virginia Beach Expressway was tolled until its initial bonds were paid off. On both roads, you can still fairly easily see where the booths were.

I think the edge solvespace has over the closed-source competition is that it's actually enjoyable to use. Every time I think about sitting down to make something with solidworks, my heart sinks. On the other hand, I actually enjoy using solvespace.

Obviously, there are some lacking features, occasional jank, and (much less these days) weird pathological performance edge cases, but it's like all open source software: as it gets more polished, as more features get added, you have less and less reason to fire up the horrible UX closed source programs.

It would be great if other makers of E2EE apps (like ProtonMail and Matrix's Element) joined this initiative and made the verifier work for their web apps too. I'm sure Cloudflare would be happy to partner with those organisations.

For context, there have been a few other attempts in the past to verify the contents of web apps, such as Signed Pages[0] and SecureBookmarks[1], but those have had usability drawbacks. One thing I hope Cloudflare end up supporting is returning the version/hash info from a verifiable append-only log. That way, users can choose to run an old version of a web app until the new version has been around for long enough to be independently reviewed.

The deterrent has to be enough of a deterrent to actually deter people, else it's a negligible downside risk (like a slap on the wrist fine and job loss for this case). Yes, execution would certainly put a stop to this behavior, even more so than jail time (and could also help with prison overcrowding), but I think to err is human and execution is a little too extreme and would cause society to be unhappy and scared.

Yes, I think there are a lot of extreme prison sentences in this country and we incarcerate way too many people. But I think it is ridiculous to be so lopsided with punishments and only put people without means in jail. White collar crimes like this one have a larger negative impact on society than some guy caught stealing a car and they should not get off with a slap on the wrist.

I don't think prison is for rehabilitation. Some humans act incredibly selfishly and if there are no consequences to bad actions, they will act selfishly and they will have a negative impact on society. Law enforcement and criminal justice is a balancing act with no perfect right answer. It is not tenable to be too far on either end of the spectrum and I think we need to try to strike that balance where crime is deterred enough but where we don't live in a police state dystopia that causes a depressed and miserable society. I don't really know where that point is, but I am all for equitable punishment of white collar criminals.
First of all, if you have to liquidate 90% of your wealth in the middle of a market crash you're going to lose most of it before you even get it out of the country. This, of course, assuming you can get out of the country, which for many people is not a realistic option. And finally, movements of capital across borders are highly regulated. You can't simply cross the border and "recreate" your wealth on the other side, because all you will have re-created is a pile of dirty money that now will have to be laundered at a great expense. All this is illegal, by the way.
So far we've been focused on edge devices like the Zynq, Artix and Zynq Ultrascale+ families. Tensil certainly works on larger devices but it's not as optimized there as we'd like it. If that's interesting to you, I'd love to talk and understand your use case in more depth.

The Intel FPGA side is interesting, as you say there are fewer projects targeting their technologies for ML use cases. We haven't tested support for their boards yet, but there is nothing in our generated RTL that is exclusive to Xilinx. The only thing we'd need to add is new drivers for their platforms.

> it's very hard to exercise enough to achieve a calorie deficit

I don't know what your definition of "very hard" is, but you can burn anywhere from 100-150 calories for every ten minutes of high intensity work (more calories burnt as your weight increases, for the same level of intensity). So 30-40 minutes a day will get you 1500-3k calories over five days depending on your starting weight. Unless you're eating 3-4k calories a day you will very likely lose weight with that level of activity.

Your last sentence is so wrong I'd say it's dangerous. The hard truth is a lot of people "go to the gym" for two hours every day, but end up doing 30 total minutes of low-intensity work. That might be a nice social activity but there is very little physical benefit. Or they go on a 15-minute walk that doesn't get their heart rate up. Again, if you want to do it because it's enjoyable I'm all about that (I love walking my dog). But don't fool yourself or lie to other that you're doing something for your health, because you're not.

Put bluntly, most people just don't work out hard enough. Spike your heart rate, sweat, lift heavy weight and have sore muscles. If you're trying to lose weight, and you don't break a sweat and you're not out of breath, you're not going to get where you want to go. Do a group class like OTF or CrossFit if you aren't sure what to do or want the supervision. But you have to be uncomfortable (not in pain, which is an important distinction) to change your body.
As usual VC money finds an astoundingly naive way to pretend to help the planet.
