I see, thanks for the elaboration. You may be correct, but there is more nuance based on my reading of the report: in particular, the "agriculture" category is somewhat misleading. I read a bit of the report, so I might as well post my findings here :)

"Agriculture" appears to measure the emissions generated directly from agricultural processes themselves, as well as "secondary" combustion inputs. This includes "enteric fermentation in domestic livestock, livestock manure management, rice cultivation, agricultural soil management, liming, urea fertilization, and field burning of agricultural residues". However, based on my reading -- please correct me if I'm wrong -- large parts of the agricultural process are included in each of the transportation, electricity, and industry categories. Thus the effects of agriculture would be seen downstream and upstream in these other categories. For example, any agricultural use of electricity is included in "electricity", not "agriculture".

An aside on meat specifically: since meat production involves more inputs, such as feed, livestock, and additional processing, you would have to account for these when comparing to a non-meat diet. For example, every cow involves the transportation of the cow, the (industrial) production of fertilizers needed to grow its feed, the production of the materials to package the feed, the transportation of the feed to a facility for packaging, the transportation of the packaged feed to a farm, the transportation of the cow to a slaughtering facility, the refrigeration of the cuts of meat, etc. The emissions generated during these steps would belong to the transportation, industry, and electricity categories, not even counting the extra emissions included in the agriculture category. While all food production would have steps such as these, clearly there are more steps in meat production because there are more inputs.

Now, back to the original point of transportation versus agriculture: the report says that 25% of the transportation category is "freight" -- I believe the shipping I described above would be included in this. However, to your point, around 60% of transportation is due to passenger vehicles and light-duty trucks, which is quite significant and likely mostly personal use (rather than agricultural), and that's where changing transportation methods can make a difference. I'm too tired to find what percent of industry and electricity are related to the agricultural process, but you would need to calculate this and compare it to personal transportation use in order to get a fair comparison.

In my personal opinion, I think we should both reduce meat consumption and personal vehicle use. No need to pick favorites.
OSCP vs CISSP is a ridiculous line to draw, they cover very different job types.

I don’t know what jobs you’re hiring for, if any, I simply don’t see how more data is a negative signal.

I think that’s silly.

I disagree with the entirety of your reply, except for the CEH zinger ;)
i recently had a situation where i hired a lawyer to work on an agreement. i asked him if we had to register as X in order to be able to do Y. he didn’t answer my question via email and instead put a clause in the agreement saying we declare that we have all necessary registrations required. i fired him.

Well part of it is the nuclear industry was started by total geniuses like Oppenheimer, von Neumann, Szílard, and Bohr. So now you have to pass the baton to lesser geniuses, or ordinary everyday Americans who eg were on Navy submarines, and want to work civilian (with clearance, it's semi-civilian). There's a bit of an impedance mismatch right there, Hungarian genius mathematicians to apple-pie-eating American whites--generally men because of the radiation--who like, they're smart, they're gifted, but they're not monstrosities of raw intellect.
Is it just my imagination, or does it seem like there's a weirdly quasi-commercial element around the push for "risk-based policing"? On one hand it's presented as simply being a scientific(-ish) approach that can be used to get better results than traditional methods, but on the other hand it's treated almost like a brand name, with a book titled "Risk-Based Policing" having an official website at riskbasedpolicing.com, with the implication being that you're not really doing Risk-Based Policing [TM] unless you study the anointed materials.

In the case, ruling had to do with an assault and the right to sue, not warrantless entry; victim was an informant and reported a crime, law enforcement responded, which is completely legal, unless I am missing something; obviously assaulting someone is not.

It seems they are not dwindling.

That was one of the clarifications of the piece. The bigger concern is the number of species rather than the number of honeybees.

SSO means that pretty every string operation has multiple code paths, which can be highly unpredictable. Basically it is a trade-off between memory usage and performance, and the standard library is not really a good place to make that trade-off. By comparison many C++ codes (still) copy strings all over the place for no good reason, so SSO in the standard library has a much greater appeal.

The same goes for spouses, by the way.

You don't have a happy marriage/partnership because you met the person of your dreams and then both accidentally stay the same person forever.

Happy marriages exist because people continuously and mutually change each other in a positive way.

Ask HN: How could I improve my side-project, an IT job board for AUS/NZ?
Hello everybody,

Out of fun, I made a job board, https://www.pacificdevs.com, dedicated to the IT sector in AUS/NZ. Primarily I did this project to improve my skills and I was wondering if there is something I could improve. So far it features:

- Filters to search by tags, location, visa sponsorship, remote, etc.

- Companies can post job offers with a description, tech stack as well as benefits (work from home, pet friendly office, Friday beers, etc).

- Developers can create profiles (add a small bio and upload their skills) so companies can find them, too.

- If logged-in, you can filter by recommendations.

- Dark mode.

Very much looking forward!

There are so many clues as to where you are and a far more limited area of coverage than you might think. It’s not uncommon to recognize a road or neighborhood from a previous game.

The ‘meta’ includes everything from the tape on the camera mount bars, the reflective patterns on bollards, to the quality of the image encoding.

That, plus a subconscious ‘feel’ you start to develop goes a very very long way in a relatively short amount of time. I sometimes feel like I could tell I was in Singapore or not even if I was only allowed to look at my feet.

I got very good at it, but I lost my appetite for the game when Ukraine was invaded. Before that, I’d be joking about stuff like how the wooden window frames in Russia were much fancier and that’s how you could tell them apart.
I've been in very similar, if not identical states. Often times it's because I've abandoned myself and am living out my parents desires/thoughts/neglect/brushings-aside.

Over time I've come to accept that accepting my parents, friends, reality, as they are is not the same as condoning it. In fact I can't condone or disavow anything I haven't first acknowledged. Beginning with myself.

I can accept myself without condoning my actions. I can extend that same acceptance to others. And I can do what I need to find my own voice.

Comment above mentioned community and showing up. Al-Anon was invaluable on my own path to serenity. I wish I could say more, I've probably already said too much. Forgive me friend.

The pain often feels like it will never end, but in time, with help and support you will learn to deal with your problems and the pain will subside.

Try to be gentle with yourself in the meantime.
It seems like this is because abstract algebra is the study of invented number games. These new games can seem a little too, well, abstract at times. The power comes from being able to play the same game with different rules when necessary.
> Societies dictate how their members behave in significant ways according to moral beliefs.

Of course they do - what we're arguing about is how we divide the pie. How much of your time and actions do you owe to society for the privilege of being a member.

I thought, as an American, it was fairly clear that we had decided that I owe you no part of the pie regarding my religion (1st) nor do I owe you any right to unreasonably search my body or possessions (4th).

I actually think we literally wrote those things in the MOST BASIC FUCKING CONTRACT we have that spells out how we expect our society members to behave. We call it the constitution.

Additionally I think that vast majority of the members of this society have decided that not only should we be secure in our right against unreasonable searches of body/home/possessions/mind stemming from religious bullshit, we should also be secure in our right to have confidential conversations with the people we literally trust our lives to: Doctors, Lawyers, Priests.

So when you say that my libertarian solution is BS - I'm a tad confused, where exactly did I get this wrong?

What part of this is not religious bullshit dictating how I behave, in a private setting where we have decided you don't get a fucking say? The only people who get a say are the woman who is dealing with the situation, her doctor, and the tiny pile of cells inside her. Turns out the tiny pile of cells makes a really shite debater, and it's only alive because it's sucking energy out of the lady.

So if, for example - that tiny pile of cells is killing the lady, or is going to die inside the lady either way, or is going to be born and then die shortly after, or fuck it... even if the lady just doesn't feel like letting it stay inside her anymore. I think that's a decision she can make for herself. With her doctors help. And without you nosing in like a fucking asshole.

I'm pretty sure that's the expectation for almost every other case of this. Why is this one different? Where did I misread the contract?

How is white phosphorus an example? Are you thinking of someone getting liver or kidney damage by absorbing white phosphorus, barely surviving, and lingering for a decade or two in delicate health before succumbing to high blood pressure? That sounds like the same kind of thing as someone getting injured by a bullet, which is a lot more common than WP.

Any white phosphorus left in the environment is going to oxidize within a few days into phosphoric acid (the tart flavor of Coca-Cola), and that will get neutralized into phosphate fertilizer pretty quickly, unless it's in some kind of deadly low-pH environment like acid mine drainage.
High-risk research of the type performed by the WIV (including both laboratory gain-of-function to enhance potential pandemic pathogen lethality or transmissibility, and sampling of novel pathogens from remote natural sites) is a tiny fraction of virology. There is no evidence that it's ever provided any significant public benefit--without it, we'd still have our same basic knowledge, our same vaccines, our same small-molecule antiviral drugs, etc.

I think you're aware of that, too. So why the conflation? Perhaps you're afraid the backlash to strong evidence that SARS-CoV-2 originated from a research accident would lead to unreasonably broad regulation; but the failure of specialists who understand these distinctions to seriously engage with the risk makes that more likely, not less.

You clearly have domain knowledge here. You are using it not to enhance public knowledge, but to distract and shut down people making reasonable points in not quite the right terms. I don't think this will end well for your discipline--a majority of Americans (including a majority of Democrats) already believe SARS-CoV-2 is probably of unnatural origin. If virologists are unable to draft reasonable regulations for themselves, then the public will step in to do it for them, probably on worse terms for all involved.

One problem with the news is that every issue of concern gets blown way out of proportion in the news until it sounds like some kind of existential disaster, and then when total disaster does not come, people think the issue wasn't nonsense. But in reality many of these things are a real problem, just not quite at the scale the news has made it out to be. But what I see time and time again is people dismissing issues of concern because of how the media treated the issue, when what we should really be doing is trying to read through the media's sensationalism to the underlying facts. But I don't think enough people have really internalized how much of the media is sensationalism and lies. People know it when you ask them, but then they go on and believe it all anyway.
Is your first example really equivalent to Box<str>? I would have expected something like

using BoxStr = std::unique_ptr<Str>;

where Str is defined as

struct Str {
size_t len;
char data[];
};

The difference is that the len is stored on the heap, and the data is stored inline with the length. Unfortunately C++ does not support flexible array members so this syntax is not actually valid.

Edit: Never mind, after reading the article Rust does use the above representation because Box holds a “fat” pointer to str, which stores it’s length on the stack. So BoxStr is the correct equivalent, because &[u8] is not equivalent to u8*, it’s equivalent to std::span<u8>.
If Gerrymandering was used to district people into exclusively 90/10 distribution segments, it wouldn't favor either party. But that's not what happens.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/wonkblog/files/2015/03/...

You're claiming gerrymandering is used to create the situation in option 1. I haven't seen any indication that this is the case from any reputable source. Most mathematical analysis of gerrymandering shows that option 3 is what's occurring, which does NOT enfranchise people.

Almost every piece mathematically quantifying gerrymandering efforts in the states has indicated that it substantially favors the GOP. Here's one example centered on the 2016 election:

https://apnews.com/article/elections-race-and-ethnicity-voti...

Some of the discussion is regarding how much of the bias is intentional (due to intentionally gerrymandered districts) vs. unintentional (due to the geographic clustering of democratic voters in urban areas), but I haven't ever seen an analysis that attributes an overall advantage to democrats as a result of districting at the state or national level.
I remember those days, so many MMORPG on the market. Everquest, Asheron’s Call, Dark Age of Camelot, Dungeons and Dragons, Anarchy Online, and so many others.

I remember being involved in the community for an ultimately vaporware MMO. Realms of Torment / Age of Mourning.

Then WoW came and the rest is history.

I think we need a new WoW, and I think it’s going to have to come from FAANG level company. A fully dynamic cloud backed world running AI agents, GPT-3+ storylines, Unreal 5 graphics.

I swear it doesn’t even seem that hard nowadays for those kind of resources.

I had hopes that Amazon’s MMO would show a glimpse of that. It didn’t yet.

I understand where you're coming from, but the position that religious fundamentalist activists aren't particularly interested in keeping gays from marrying would seem to be contradicted by their behavior over the last two decades.

Yes, in particular the main consonants part is arranged like the periodic table: the rows are ordered by place of articulation, and each column a different manner of articulation.

----

In fact, it is possible that Mendeleev was inspired to arrange his periodic table based on the arrangement of the Sanskrit alphabet (or at least aware of the resemblance). The evidence is thin, but the plausibility argument (quoting from the nice article https://www.americanscientist.org/article/the-grammar-of-the... ) is something like:

• Mendeleev was friends at Saint Petersburg University with Otto von Böhtlingk, a famous Sanskrit scholar and linguist.

• Böhtlingk composed a grammar of "the Siberian language Yakut (also known as Sakha), in which he applied the principles of Sanskrit grammar to extraordinary effect". In particular, he "constructed a periodic system of Yakut speech sounds based on Pāṇinian principles" (that is, he arranged the Yakut sounds in a table like the Sanskrit alphabet).

• Böhtlingk and Mendeleev shared an interest in Siberia (Mendeleev's birthplace) and Arctic languages, and it is likely that Böhtlingk would have told Mendeleev about this.

• Mendeleev when he came up with the periodic table used the unlikely choice of Sanskrit prefixes (eka-boron, dvi-manganese etc) for his predicted elements, rather than Greek/Latin/German/Russian ones. This is likely a homage/result of his friendship with Böhtlingk.

As I said, there is no clinching evidence, but we can only connect the dots. (Anyway, the above article, written by a chemist and a linguist, is an interesting read.)
Nice try, manager ;)

We work on side projects because we __like__ it. Seeing side projects through the lense of "value" is naive in my opinion. Yes, obviously if the side project has actual users than that's a plus. But companies like seeing side projects because it __does__ show that the candidate really likes what they do for a living. Now whether the company is purposefully using that to expect people to work 60 hours a week is a different discussion. And while I'll probably ruffle some feathers by saying this, I'll say it; software is a sport. Very much like a sport, if you stop doing it then you'll get fat and lose your touch. People that work on side projects are constantly honing their craft and because of that they tend to be the best athletes.

If I owned a baseball team, I sure as hell want the best. And in my humble opinion, the best are usually __always__ working on getting better at the game. AKA working on side projects ;)

EDIT:Just want to clarify; it is WRONG of a company to expect people to work 60 hours a week. Just so we are in the same page. I am NOT condoning that.

According to Dr. Robert Lustig of University of California fructose is indeed worse than sugar. [1]

It's been a good while since I've watched this video. As far as I remember, he argues that fructose is to the human body strikingly similar to alcohol. Since (unlike glucose) fructose can neither be utilized by muscles nor by the brain, it gets treated more or less like a toxic substance in the liver.
In the video Lustig claims that fructose might even be harder on the liver than alcohol.

So I'd conclude: more fructose --> less healthy. Thus High Fructose Corn Sirup HFCS = far from healthy.

$200k!! (presumably Canadian Dollars, which works out at ~£126k). Here in the UK a typical GP salary is ~90k, and while we do have trouble retaining doctors that is almost entirely due to working conditions (hospitals and practices are understaffed so medical staff end up overworked). I've only very rarely heard doctors complain that they are underpaid. I can definitely see that rates ought to equalised across different medical career paths though.
>The biggest dangerous part of removing a kidney isn’t the act of removal, it’s the long term lack of having it.

So? You wouldn't mandate mandatory kidney removals if we could mitigate the long term risk of not having one because that risk isn't the reason we don't unilaterally harvest organs from people against their will.

Regardless of where the risk is clustered (at the event or in the long tail following it), it is the harm to an individual via a non-consensually driven medical event.
