It's similar to manufacturing jobs from the past. Compared to other options, it was lucrative.

The reason why Henry Ford started paying people $5 was not out of generosity or to help them buy his vehicles. It's because the job was monotonous and people would constantly walk off the assembly line. People stayed because it provided a reasonable pathway to middle class when there weren't a lot of other viable options.

No. Who said that, other than vegans? It's a lie. Everybody else, the IPCC, the FAO, environmental organisations, they all say we need to shift diets, in particular western diets, towards a plant-based diet:

> Such recommendations include for example: having a mostly plant-based diet, focus on seasonal and local foods, reduction of food waste, consumption of fish from sustainable stocks only and reduction of red and processed meat, highly-processed foods and sugar-sweetened beverages.

https://www.fao.org/nutrition/education/food-dietary-guideli...

But a plant-based diet is not vegan (although a vegan diet is plant-based), it's a diet where the majority of calories come from plants:

> A plant-based diet is a diet consisting mostly or entirely of plant-based foods.[1][2][3] Plant-based diets encompass a wide range of dietary patterns that contain low amounts of animal products and high amounts of plant products such as vegetables, fruits, whole grains, legumes, nuts and seeds.[4][5] They do not need to be vegan or vegetarian[6][7] but are defined in terms of low frequency of animal food consumption.[8][9]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plant-based_diet

For example, the Mediterranean diet is a plant-based diet:

> The principal aspects of this diet include proportionally high consumption of olive oil, legumes, unrefined cereals, fruits,[3] and vegetables, moderate to high consumption of fish, moderate consumption of dairy products (mostly as cheese and yogurt), moderate wine consumption, and low consumption of non-fish meat products.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mediterranean_diet

A plant-based diet includes fish, dairy, eggs and meat, although meat in moderate to small quantities.

Vegans certainly like to pretend that "plant-based" means "vegan", but that's just their propaganda. Please don't help spread such lies.

For me, it is the whole cinematic universe conjured that is fantastic. The music, the grit, the characters, the dark baroque feeling it conveys.

And that is, by the way, the hardest thing to accomplish on film. It is not in the cast, not in the size of the budget,... In the same sense how one can feel a B-movie 10 second in. (by B-movie I mean an author-less movie)

edit: spelling
I’m this case it’s not about the story which was only marginally interesting. It’s the cinematography, the color timing, the sets, the costumes.

> So either pre-reproductive mortality is through the roof, but never mentioned

Well if we're in this framework of assuming middle earth functions (more-or-less) like our own pre-modern world, then pre-reproductive mortality is enormous. If the Gamgees had their children in Europe in the Middle Ages, then only 6-7 of their children would survive to the age of 10.

Considering that a Hobbit male is only considered an adult at 33 years old, I'd assume that hobbits in general reach sexual maturity later than humans as well, giving any particular hobbit a higher chance of dying before their first child than any particular human.

Plus we don't know if Rosie is an outlier or not - plenty of real-life women have had 10+ children, especially in pre-industrial societies. The average woman in pre-industrial Europe had 6-7 children but effective fertility was barely more than 2 due to pre-reproductive mortality - we didn't see a population explosion in Europe until the 18th century, rather the population very slowly ticked up over centuries and crashed back down in various calamities.

100,000 is still pretty low, but as far as I know there are events that would have caused population shocks, including major crop failures due to bad winters in Frodo's memory, and a few generations previously there were both plagues and even a mass migration of the entire Hobbit population to Hobbitton due to attacks by Orc bands.

I completely agree that "what you need to do" sort of comments are less than helpful. Perhaps the GP was edited, but "He'd probably do well" reads as "I would suggest" which is actually meant well to me. The former presupposes what one needs and is unnecessarily authoritative (and I cannot help but assume an air of condescension from using the statement), while the second is simply the suggestion written as kindly as possible (again to me).

I'm glad they wrote it, because it has not been suggested to me that I need to "be challenged if [I] tr[y] using [my] intellect to deflect from sitting with or reflecting upon said emotions". I very much identify with this statement owing to a life of using intellect as a coping mechanism for emotions that I have been told I'm not supposed to feel. I also have work to do.

Edit: typos
Right, if you are worried about covert tampering and every shipment shows up tampered, you have proven that someone along the shipping route is tampering. You react by distrusting any packages that were previously shipped without anti-tamper protection. And you find a different shipping route. This is costly, but it's a reaction to a threat you can prove to be targeting you.

The tamperer is probably better off not tampering with packages, unless they can do so in a plausibly deniable way.
That's intentional. When training the models, they filter out human faces and adult content among other things.

We used to have a running (offline) joke in the G+ days among my photog friends that Tom Anderson "doesn't care about anything but women and architecture, and it's reflected in his art", but more founders should be willing to quit while they're ahead.

(It was a joke from a place of love, since unlike Mark Zuckerberg, who we'd joke is literally a spy for the Chinese, Tom seems just want folks to use his website and have a fun time, versus feeling entitled interaction or observation.)

Also, I seriously doubt this Jupiter CEO is "doing nothing". He's probably reading novels, maybe doing some swimming, or mindfully consuming so kind of coconut based beverage? Who knows -- it's not my business, and at least I'll be honest that I'm jealous I don't have the economic security to do the same -- authenticity is rare these days.
Very fortunate. We have to make a weekend trip each time we want to go to the beach, and that's to go to a beach off Lake Michigan (we're nowhere near the coast) and it still takes us about an hour and a half drive each way to get there.

Last week, we finally went for the first time this year, and were rained out one day, and then it was overcast, windy, cold, and no swimming because of intense waves the other day (we still went, but it was less than ideal).

If we're lucky we might go one more time this year, although that's mostly because last week wasn't great. We usually only make the trip once a year.

I did used to live in an apartment that had a nice outdoor pool on the premises, and I'm seriously missing that now that I live in a house. I used to spend an hour out there about 3 or 4 days a week each summer.
Nice spoilers lmao
Ha, nice. I was a silent participant of that contest that year. My buddies team was able to acquire a second tamper kit to practice on, I learned a lot about seals that weekend and I still apply that knowledge to this day.

Any seal that uses an adhesive is often easily removed with acetone. Seals that use multiple materials like plastic and metal, well you can dissolve the metal component and replace it if you have multiple blanks of the seal. If the plastic part is the part that is serialized then bobs your uncle.

I moved on to using security paper to make high security envelopes. There are a ton of different features you can combine to make a unique security paper. Then mechanically sealing it with security wire and a lead seal. If an evil maid needs inside they would need to duplicate the security paper's features.

This place sells a sampler pack of high security papers for cheap:
http://www.secureguardpapers.com/assortment-w.html

If you want to go off the rails and raise legal questions for the government though, do this. Go to the treasury and buy sheets of uncut US currency to make your envelopes out of - remember all bills are uniquely serialized. If you are a true high roller buy uncut $100 bills, they probably have extra security features. Assuming your theoretical evil maid is a US government employee, it raises an interesting question: are NSA/US government employees allowed to forge/duplicate US currency in the pursuit of protecting national security?

If you want to see other interesting application of anti-tampering features, go check out your passport and all your visa stamps in it. The low hanging fruit is UV, but don't forget that there are two common bands of UV, shortwave is where it's at. Lots of fluorescing going on. But don't forget IR transparent inks there (or IRT). Also don't forget that fluorescence can happen in wavelengths outside the human visible spectrum. If you shine an IR laser pointer at stuff there are inks that can fluoresce from IR back into the visible spectrum. There's a ton of other things too, but your passport has a cornucopia of interesting tamper evident features.

And don't get me started on microwires. If conspiracy folks had any idea about these their heads would explode.

It depends on the nature of the test. I recently did an assessment for a company that wanted a DP leetcode problem done in 4 minutes.

It also doesn't help that, as previous HN comment sections prove, a staggeringly high number of people who ace these tests actually just outright cheat. And then they come here and talk about the necessity of using LC to filter out 'unqualified candidates' (ie not them).

If you are in a real war and hit by a gun on automatic it is your own stupid fault. If you are killed by a gun using any form of semi-auto (including 3 round burst) it is just bad luck. Automatic guns are very useful in war, but the purpose isn't to kill it is to force the enemy to keep their head down (ie in a bunker) while you do something else.

For your average soldier a automatic gun is just a waste of bullets. Which is why elite soldiers never use full auto mode: it is never a useful mode for them. It is still useful, but you don't need much training to run a gun in full auto mode, so generals put the non-elite troops on the automatic guns. (though sometimes an elite soldier will volunteer for the automatic duty - it is kind of fun to chew threw tens of thousands of bullets in one trigger pull)
On a Mac, GarageBand does almost everything you might need.

I used to use Reaper, I was using it on a Mac back around V3, but the problem with Reaper is that it is general purpose and as someone else mentioned, that comes with a much steeper learning curve.

A podcast app is more like a video editor... you pull in audio from various sources, sync it up, add in some jingles and background/intro/outro music, paste in ads you pre recorded, and mixdown to an MP3 with chapters. It's not really the same requirements as something like Reaper.
TL;DR; find a way to work in a mainframe environment. I think this is true of a lot of things, but starting in 2022, it's definitely true for learning cobol. The thing is, cobol is not just a programming language. Living and working in a mainframe environment is it's own whole thing. There is so much you'll have to learn. It's like the difference between linux and windows, but I'd argue is easily x2 to x5 as jarring. Just learning ebcdic instead of ascii is a thing. And navigating a green screen is as foreign to a modern pc user as, say, going from being a programmer in a high level language (like say java or c#) to using assembly language. It's not that you can't learn it, but it's that your whole brain has to be tilted to the side just to understand what's going on. A mainframe is a completely different world from modern pcs. The cobol programming language is 1/10th of it.

After thinking about it a bit, the major obstacle I run into with having a coherent explanation for the lack of industrialization is that Mordor did industrialize at some level. And it doesn't take that much of an industrialization advantage to be able to overwhelm opponents.

ADDED: That said, maybe Mordor was just starting to industrialize and maybe wasn't quite at the point where it could conquer all given magic etc.

I was interested in the topic but the snide tone was very difficult to get through.

If I had read it when I was much younger I might have enjoyed it, but I've read so much writing with a similar tone that at this point I consider comes off as cliched. Especially in combination with the verbal sparring with strawmen device.

I was able to get through it mostly, but my motivation decreased as I increasingly got the feeling that the author was researching in service of a pre-determined point rather than doing an "investigation" as claimed in the beginning.

At some previous logistics company this was something I questioned regarding a new tool for managers that could more easily track driver performance as opposed to digging in many old systems, taking notes and making inferences.

Because the new tool made it easier, even though the data is the same, the company's lawyers were very skeptical of this in relation to the driver's privacy.

There is something grey about this I think. Ease of access do matter to some extent, even though my engineering brain says the data is the same so it doesn't matter.

The parts of Middle-earth we see in the books are empty, because Sauron has been fighting a war against the Numenoreans and their allies for 2000 years. He has also been winning the war.

Northern Eriador, roughly the area between Shire and Rivendell, used to be Arnor. The northern counterpart to Gondor was first weakened in civil wars and then destroyed by the armies of the Witch King. People don't return to the area, because they believe the ruins of the cities are haunted.

The Misty Mountains are infested with orcs. Few people live near the mountains, except in Dunland in the south.

Anduin runs between the Misty Mountains and Mirkwood. Few people are willing to live near them. Particularly because Sauron built his fortress in the southern Mirkwood and spent most of the last 2000 years there. Further south, the lands west of the river are near Lorien and Fangorn, and people are afraid of the beings living in those forests. On the eastern side, the lands between Mirkwood and Mordor are either barren or were ruined in the battles at the end of the Second Age.

Osgiliath, Minas Anor/Tirith, and Minas Ithil/Morgul used to be three great cities of Gondor. However, Minas Ithil was lost and Osgiliath abandoned long ago. At the end of the Third Age, most of the population of Gondor lives in the coastal areas protected by the White Mountains and Minas Tirith. Pelargir is a major port near the mouth of Anduin, and Dol Amroth is another major city.

We know little of the lands to the east and to the south, except that they were capable of sending large armies against Gondor.
