I have no references for this but my guess would be related to the idea that there are two genders and those genders cannot/should not be changed. Most of the time when I see people ask your question they are trying to draw out something to do with racism, but that's really quite the strawman; very few conservatives are seeking the ability to use racial slurs under the guise of free speech.
You quote a fast food company blog? I'll quote the Vegan Society:

> Claimed sources of B12 that have been shown through direct studies of vegans to be inadequate include human gut bacteria, spirulina, dried nori, barley grass and most other seaweeds. Several studies of raw food vegans have shown that raw food offers no special protection.

> Reports that B12 has been measured in a food are not enough to qualify that food as a reliable B12 source. It is difficult to distinguish true B12 from analogues that can disrupt B12 metabolism. Even if true B12 is present in a food, it may be rendered ineffective if analogues are present in comparable amounts to the true B12. There is only one reliable test for a B12 source - does it consistently prevent and correct deficiency? Anyone proposing a particular food as a B12 source should be challenged to present such evidence.

And also wikipedia which is more reliable and is not trying to sell you anything:

The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics considers plant and algae sources "unreliable", stating that vegans should turn to fortified foods and supplements instead.[32]

Interesting learning. Has anyone blogged or written about this?
As history has unfolded, it seems to have become increasingly clear that the antitrust lawsuit against Microsoft in the 90s was ill-conceived. At the very least, it doesn't appear to have been based upon any underlying philosophy of monopoly that shows any consistency, for the very reasons you've indicated.
Maybe I'm lucky, but I've got half a dozen Logitech wireless mice/keyboard-and-trackpad media keyboards in regular use, plus the MX Ergo trackball, plus a couple of G Pro keyboards, and I haven't been able to kill any of them even through pretty rough use on the mice particularly (they tend to get bounced around in the living room when the dog jumps on the couch, etc.).

"Can't be accidental" reads as conspiracy-huffing. Lemons exist, bad products happen, but this is a weird assertion without evidence. Like, I got bit by the MX518 double-click bug back in the day, but everything I've used from them since--and I won't buy Razer because their stuff's awful to look at, which has historically cut down the options a lot--has been unremarkably fine. Except for the MX Ergo. That thing is remarkably excellent.
Ask HN: Are there senior devs who liked switching from static to dynamic typing?
I'm curious if there are any senior engineers who have swapped from using statically typed languages to dynamically typed languages later in their career and prefer this way of working?

I've met many senior engineers (myself included) who have made the opposite transition (dynamic -> static) and now the thought of using a dynamic language for anything outside of small scripts is uncomfortable.
It's quite annoying to not be able to use common tools for DNS queries like `dig`, when using `systemd-resolved` for DNS. I think you might have to sometimes flush the caching feature of `systemd-resolved` as well.

It's fine, I guess. But it did take a while to learn the new ways.

I think this is the main complaint from users with decades of experience. Their scripts and old knowledge stops working.

Serum concentrations of vitamin B12 and folate in British male omnivores, vegetarians and vegans: results from a cross-sectional analysis of the EPIC-Oxford cohort study

> Vegans have lower vitamin B12 concentrations, but higher folate concentrations, than vegetarians and omnivores. Half of the vegans were categorized as vitamin B12 deficient and would be expected to have a higher risk of developing clinical symptoms related to vitamin B12 deficiency.

The prevalence of cobalamin deficiency among vegetarians assessed by serum vitamin B12: a review of literature

> Higher deficiency prevalence was reported in vegans than in other vegetarians. Thus, with few exceptions, the reviewed studies documented relatively high deficiency prevalence among vegetarians. Vegans who do not ingest vitamin B12 supplements were found to be at especially high risk. Vegetarians, especially vegans, should give strong consideration to the use of vitamin B12 supplements to ensure adequate vitamin B12 intake.

That seems particularly important. Leptin is naturally released by fat cells, so I wonder how this would have impacted overweight mice, who may have already been naturally releasing this leptin - assuming that's how leptin works.

But also, no one should be fasting and eating nothing - they should make sure they're getting the necessary vitamins and minerals. Taking more leptin could make sense.
The thing that fiat currencies have going for them is they’re the instrument needed to pay taxes in. So, even if you went to a system where toothpicks were the functional currency of your business endeavors, you’d eventually have to go buy some dollars (sell some toothpicks) to pay your property, employment, income, and other taxes.

This puts a floor of demand to prop up fiat currencies that doesn’t exist for crypto.

I have some sympathy to granting personhood to animals, but the rest of the article reminds me of the roman emperor who ordered to punish the sea by whip for drowning his ships.

It's also a fun coincidence that none of the entities which this article demands legal personhood for would be able to articulate its own needs or interests directly - all of them would be represented in courts or parliaments by humans. That would seem like a recipe for conflicts of interest and power accumulation.

That being said, if we really cannot see an object as anything else than either a person or a resource to be exploited, then I guess personhood is the best option.

I just visited the US a couple of weeks ago, for a week and a half. I lived there most of my life...

- I saw at least one person run a red light to make a left-hand turn, every day.

- I saw at least one person run a red light going straight.

- Nobody stays to the right, so the interstate gets really congested.

- Because people don't stay to the right, people pass on the right which is really dangerous.

- I saw 4 car accidents ending in at least one death in that 10 days.

- My go-to-comment when driving is "wtf, are you suicidal?" every time I saw someone do something extremely dangerous with their car. People acted like they were invincible.

A year ago, it wasn't that bad. But a few weeks ago, it was like I was surrounded by all the worst drivers in the world.
Thank you, I'm definitely not giving up on the LC I just need to figure out how to build a solid foundation for it.

As for career, I really enjoy building products. At work I've been the lead on a few end to end full stack projects that I'm very proud of. I like to set up projects and then get a lot of pride feeling knowing that in the future other developers will be extending this base project as it grows.

I am trying really hard to find a job where it involves understanding the customer and business needs (I really like to get on calls with our product manager/designer, and then work together to develop and test the solution), and building the best product. My favorite feeling is shipping something that people find useful, so idk which companies or what roles would really let me shine best there. One of my goals is to get better at networking, to see if I can get some job like a technical co-founder of a startup I think that would be a dream for me.

If you know anything let me know, I'll check it out. Sorry for blurting out a lot of details I guess I'm just feeling defensive still after that mock interview lol. I feel like how can I be a co founder when I cannot even pass a Leetcode?
In addition to other comments: They also are safer, at least in one significant way: Most accidents on upright bikes involve people flying over the handlebars.

systemd was the first init/supervision system I used. I was able to understand how to use it pretty well.

I still hate it.

Sorry, but understanding systemd does not preclude hating it.

In fact, it's because of the "haters" that I decided to dive deep into what init/supervision systems are and can be. Without that deep dive, I would have always thought that systemd was great. Afterward, however, I know just how wrong that is.

If a developer's only interaction with init systems was SysV init, yes, of course, systemd is the greatest thing since sliced bread.

But systemd could have been so much better...

Disclaimer: I'm writing an init/supervision system to be so much better. And simpler. Orders of magnitude simpler. Oh, and one that doesn't reach its fingers into every part of your OS.

tl;dr: systemd is better than SysV init, but it's not the end-all-be-all of init/supervision systems.
> how do you enforce a law that technically challenging without bankrupting the government or crippling the economy?

Drugs paid with cash are challenging. Crypto is not. Authoritarian states can do deep packet inspection and random phone/computer checks. Advanced states can just roll it into their AML frameworks, as well as track the purchase of mining equipment and their inputs. Both will offer whistleblower rewards.

There will still be people who use it. But it will fall out of the mainstream. More people are more enthusiastic about cocaine than about crypto, and your enjoyment from an ounce of cocaine isn’t dependent on others using it. For crypto, it is.
The question is how competitive is the market? Would he get more money by auctioning it off? For something like smartphones there are plenty of governments that would buy. But for a game console? It's mostly commercial pirates and I guess those don't have as much money sloshing around.

Maybe one could make it an adversarial kickstarter kind of thing. The public pools against sony, full disclosure vs. time-delayed disclosure.

At this point torrent clients don't provide much if they don't have a really differentiating set of features:

- torrents work if they are shared more than they are leeched, so it's just easier to have it run in the background. There's very little reason to not use the existing client/server models like transmission or tTorrent
- indexing and search still relies too much on third parties. Integrate magnetico (passive indexing), bep 33 (dht-based scraping) and bep 51 (dht-based indexing) and the user gains an order of magnitude of autonomy because they don't rely on centralized authorities anymore
- is there a possibility yo go further ? Make sharing files easier with bittorrent, or something like that ? Bittorrent clients should help with that

Innovation in this sector doesn't mean nicer fonts, there are real avenues for meaningful change that actually improve users' life
Can someone point out a good reason for not downloading the font files and serving them directly from your CDN or servers, without any calls to third-parties in your HTML?
> every single one of them has the summer off to relax and recharge

Tell me you don't know anything about teachers without telling me, etc.

"Relax and recharge" is hardly the story for most teachers. Those salary averages you cite obscure the reality that teacher pay is often determined by degrees and certifications. When do teachers pursue those, so they can advance past the lowest band? That's right: summer. Many have to make up professional-development days just to stay at their current level. (How much mandatory structured professional development has anyone here had to do since they started their careers?) A lot of curriculum development happens as unpaid summer work. Then there are summer jobs to make up budget shortfalls (exacerbated by having to pay for their own supplies during the year), reconnecting with families they hardly got to see during the year, and so on.

There are other highly demanding and poorly paid jobs, to be sure. One could make a reasonable argument that teaching is not uniquely bad. On the other hand, trying to argue that teachers are doing great because some get 13% above average for all those extra college years and they all get summers off is counterfactual to the point of dishonesty.
> While @ Google I interacted with LaMDA's predecessor, Meena. It was definitely uncanny and person-like. Some fairly intense "conversations" were had. I don't know how LaMDA compares

I see this a lot. Usually these programmers are capable of much more, but the system they're working on is too convoluted and they've given up on understanding it, instead they rely on people like the author of this article, the one person who understands the entire system. Problem is, usually that one person doesn't understand the entire system. I'm experienced enough to know that when you see a complicated system, and a wise old guru claims to understand it, that guru is probably an idiot or a liar, and you should seek to understand the system yourself from first principles.
Ive only ever had trouble with using phones as webcams. It seemed like a great idea, but ive probably wasted a good full 40 hours of my life trying to make them work right. And when I get it to work, 6 months go by and they force you to "update" to more broken features and then charge money for basic functionality. Whoops this software doesn't let you flip the camera the right way. This one doesn't like USB for some reason so lets try wireless, whoops it completely saturated the wireless connection with completely uncompressed video and drains my phone faster than it can charge. This one ghosts horribly if you move slightly too fast. Oh this one seems to be work... what the hell I dared put my hand to close or a light source came in view for a second and it completely bjorked the exposure levels and fails to readjust again leaving an either mostly black or mostly white picture.

Since I don't use it constantly, if I expect to be using a webcam I need to make sure I have atleast a couple hours the day before I need it to make sure it actually works when I turn it on again. And even then I still run in to troubles where certain programs see it and certain ones don't. Then I gotta push the video through multiple different programs to get the one program I need to see it right in the correct orientation. What I thought should be a super easy task turns into this huge ordeal and 25 new sketchy data stealing programs on my phone and computer. I even had a few which I can only assume were mining crypto currency with the amount of processing utilization they used even when the camera isn't on.

You most likely get NPEs, not segfaults. I have never seen a segfault in Java and the first Java version I used was 1.5.

> one of the things you'd learn is the extent to which serious cyclists minimize the risks

At a social event which happened to include many members of the local bicycle club, I observed: Almost everyone I know who bicycles regularly has been hospitalized due to a bicycle-car accident. Is that true? Yes, they all agreed, that's about right.

IME, they don't minimize risks well. There's no safe way to ride in traffic unless it's moving near bicycle-speed. However, there are side streets, etc., so that risk could be minimized if they wanted to do it; you can cut exposure to cars by 90% easily.
Is there more detailed information about supported hardware?

I'm especially interested if this supports proper sleep on Intel/Lenovo hardware (instant on, not draining battery too quickly).
Hey, I've lived in the US, and it's big enough that you need to specify where you're talking about. If for some reason your bicycle tour is going to take you around all of Arizona, that's a problem. If you're Californian and you don't live in the Sierras, what you've said doesn't hold as much, nor if you live in the Great Plains or New England.

This is vaguely similar to Australia, which has gigantic deserts with terrible roads through them as most of the landmass, but geographically bikeable population centres where everyone actually lives.

700,000,000 users disagree with your statements. You can’t make something true by just saying it’s true.

Also your attitude is super toxic. You’re calling people who don’t value the same things you do, “clueless”.

You don’t really get to bullshit people on HN — you can be super smart and skilled in your field, you’ll far too often come across people with vastly more experience than you. I invite you to think about that.

Again, matrix is great, and I see it as the future of messaging. But it’s absolutely not the “present” of messaging; it’s years behind telegram, and the UX of most clients including the more popular ones is garbage.
It’s pretty amazing that it’s cheap. A lot to be taken for granted in that statement.
