> Anses said in its statement that reducing nitrates would result in increased risks of serious illnesses such as botulism, listeria or salmonella. But these dangers could be managed by shorter best-before consumption dates and modified manufacturing processes, it added.

We have an almost ideal solution for this. Irradiation. A heavy dose of gamma rays is completely sterilizing, while having minimal impact on the quality and nutrition of food. Raw meat that has been sealed and irradiated is shelf-stable at room temperature for months, without any added preservatives at all.

It's one of those collective failures that we haven't widely adopted it yet. Irradiation has some niche uses today, but it could probably replace most refrigeration. So many preservatives are unnecessary, too. I think it has something to do with a failure in education, and also consumer familiarity. A raw steak in a bag at room temperature for two weeks is a little off-putting, I suppose. But it's mostly lack of public education about the science involved. As one survey found:

> 46% expressed their belief that irradiated food means the same as radioactive food
Whereas Medium works better for network effects/SEO (and why it became super popular before Facebook/Twitter became the most reliable methods of distribution for personal articles), Substack has a better writer/reader relationship, which matters when trying to make a living off of it. Although as a result, it incentivises "thought leadership" more than Medium, which is funny in retrospect since Medium was the blogging platform that started the trend.

Conversely, technical content doesn't do as well on Substack.

Unpaid wages are usually treated very different from most claims, at least here, and do get handled in a very expeditious manner (labor commissioner in some places with literally raid workplaces sometimes).

Secured debt (pay me or I get this property - in the contract), can often get similar expedited treatment here in CA.

unpaid improvements (mechanics liens) on real or personal can get handled in a month or two here, but actually getting liquidated damages out of it can take a long time.

Other claims (general vendor bills, liquidated settlements), often meh.
Is that because of the camera voyeurism issues?

Anecdotal: we released plenty of improved features, like a better gallery to see the items in our shop, users used it a lot +250%, but conversion rate went down 4%.

They spent more time seeing the items and..didn't like the pics and conversion went down. In the end we reverted to the crap gallery we had before, they don't click it anymore and conversion went back up again..
The slr tech is pretty cool (it’s mirror and a prism that gets the light from the lens to your eye). And a neat tech that flips the mirror out of the way so the “film” or sensor can see the light. You see close to what the camera sees, much better than the range finder cameras.

But it’s mechanically complex , expensive to produce and more than needed now. Especially if you can autofocus on sensor now. These new cameras should be cheaper to produce…but demand must be much lower.

I'm not assuming it was because she was a real estate agent. I specifically said she had no tech knowledge.

It's nothing personal against real estate agents; half of one side of my family was in real estate. What makes you good in real estate is mainly dealing individually with people in a sales-y way, plus moderate knowledge of your local property market. It requires only 9th-grade math and no tech savvy.

Is it possible she was also a tech genius? No. Because she not only said she wasn't into technology, she also quickly demonstrated that lack of knowledge. But more importantly, she was excited about bitcoin, which even then was obviously a technology that was not good for much besides creating a zero-value, highly hypeable speculative instrument.
When you have a set of functions that may recourse into each other, you can convert them into a iterative one by doing a `while cond {switch function_selector {..}}` block.

It's an ugly piece of code, but because of parsers, there is a huge amount of know how on it.
The compiler absolutely can implement tail calls, I don't know why this keeps getting thrown around. Adding a high-level directive in the spec doesn't enable the compiler to do anything, it just enforces it. The only thing preventing it is browser vendors wanting the .stack property to stay well behaved, but that isn't required by the spec and certainly isn't relevant for non-browser targets.
> This claim was absurd on the face of it; EA couldn't possibly turn a profit if each copy of the game required dedicated beefy-ass server hardware to support it.

Was it? No, I don't think so. I can imagine numerous computation problems that are not viable to solve client-side (i.e. your device "cannot run the simulation"), but are not a real burden on a server-side for a lot of users. Simpliest example: hosting a couple TB large rainbow table.

(Obviously, I'm not discussing that particular game, my objection is to the general claim only.)
> prove me wrong by showing me how it's failed.

This shifts the work for your position to another person, and in the negative. Certainly it makes your life easier, but in traps you in a bubble of your own creation.

It’s essentially the same as admitting “I can’t prove it, so you have to prove the inverse” and hoping the other person will Marty McFly for you, and waste their time instead. It’s a solid method for reinforcing confirmation bias because whether they try or forget about it and move on you get to continue in your assumed position.
This seems like a pretty uncharitable take, and one thats unlikely to be true.

Do you think substack has some metric on "unsubstantiated opinions" that they're trying to maximize? Or have you just noticed more content that you disagree with there?

Deloitte's acquisition of BearingPoint's Federal practice in 2008-9.

Also interesting that Deloitte hired their corporate M&A integration group to run the integration for themselves.

I'm also wary of solving issues with speech or information technology[0] through regulation. That said... if I run a microblogging site HN-rumors.com, somebody might post "xoa is a thief", and harm might come to you because of that. You could sue the poster, but you could not sue me. This holds true even if I moderate the site and remove other content. Good so far, right?

Now what if I hand-curate a front page? If I feature this libelous rumor on it, I'm acting like an editor/publisher rather than a platform and the chances you can successfully sue me go up. What if I pick the users who have been most responsive to that sort of content and email it to them in the hope they'll visit my site and spend more time there as a result? I see my legal risk increasing even more.

Of course it's easy to hold a person responsible when a person is making the decisions. It's harder to say exactly what criteria an algorithm can use, and not the sort of thing I'd want a politician or bureaucrat deciding. Perhaps what I really want is for people to voluntarily stop using corporate social media so much, but I don't know how realistic that is.

I wrote this piece about the different subscription models a few years back and think that it held up very well: https://hua.substack.com/p/subscriptions-as-price-discrimina...

In particular re Medium:

> On the backend, the way [Medium's] partner program works is that users’ membership fees are allocated proportionally to the writer based on how many articles the user read. Fine. Also there is something about clapping. I guess if I really like a writer I could make sure to read a lot of their articles so they can get some of that membership fee. But, as a consumer, I: a. can’t subscribe directly to the writer, and b. can’t signal that I value their content at more than $5 per month. No amount of claps can make up for that!

Writers and readers both don't get the right amount of value from their framework.
No. If you had been correct, there would have been no reason to post what I did. But you are 100% wrong on both counts, and I did. (For amusement, see rndmio's comment above.)

For (Unicode) text strings these are done according to the character value only, while for byte strings, the conversions and classifications are done according to the ASCII value of the byte, and bytes whose high bit is set (i.e., non-ASCII bytes) are never converted or considered part of a character class such as letter or whitespace.

I know (believe me, I know) that bandwidth is expensive, but I'm also pretty sure YouTube's margins leave plenty of room for competitors to come in with less-effective monetization schemes and still turn a profit. There's no reason a host couldn't put ads on videos hosted under some kind of free tier, after all. I'm quite sure we wouldn't end up with no free hosting. Worst case, I think it'd tend to be quality capped to SD-quality or something, and that's worst-case.

It's because large, directive antennas are still 'dish' style and have to be mechanically pointed at the target (Earth based DSN receiving antennas). That pointing causes vibrations and potentially a shifting center of mass.

We don't put our values on our web site but we do talk about them internally a lot and I have them listed on a small piece of paper glued to my laptop next to the trackpad. #1 is "Integrity". You cannot convince anyone you have integrity by telling them anything, they can only come to believe it by seeing how you act over time.

And if we don't have integrity what does it matter what the other values are?
If phages are so extremely niche as you suggest, then how come that they seem to be common knowledge among software engineers?

And you're making an inconsistent comparison: it's not about being an expert, not even about having read a wikipedia article on the topic, it's merely about having heard of that thing existing. A Python dev who has never even heard of Rust or can't even guess what HPC might stand for would be strange indeed. And the same goes for medical professionals who haven't even heard about a whole class of treatment options for a serious global disease problem (and, as a corollary, cannot recommend consulting a specialist).
The problem here is that for security, your interpreted code can not do whatever it wishes on your memory. And for performances, you can't validate every small memory operation your code does.

The result is a fairly high-level VM that doesn't export enough power for your program to implement GC or exceptions without sacrificing a lot of performance. Tail calls is a different matter, and there is a cost-benefit analysis for it.
The Azure Developer CLI: A faster way to build apps for the cloud
By your definition of what is "engineering" I feel like all improvements or changes are just engineering.

Because you've described three classes:

* No explicit runtime knowledge of whether a given object is alive

* Explicitly tracking how many references there are to an object

* Searching the program memory to see if there are references to an object that make it live

I'm not sure there is another class of memory management that isn't one of these three?

It's also somewhat unfair to rust - the static and parametric lifetime management _is_ new, and doesn't "need unsafe" to do anything interesting; and to tracing GCs modern GCs have developed ever more techniques to not be "stop the world" including parallel, iterative, lock free tracing, etc.
I've had a similar experience, although my learning was "people, even experts, are really terrible at understanding which treatment will perform better".

We always run >=3 variants, surveyed the dozen team members on which one they thought would run. Over the years, there was no clear pattern over who could make that prediction.

IE, it's not possible to predict which is the most effective treatment, even when you include a really bad idea in the treatments!
It's a way deeper problem than untrusted code, as NetSpectre [0] showed.

The issue is with untrusted speculative instruction streams which can be influenced by untrusted code and/or untrusted data. NetSpectre was a remote kernel read primitive entirely from malformed network packets, no untrusted code needed, and no data other than network packets coming in over the wire.

> For say, an admin page, it is godsend.

As long as you don't attempt to do anything that's too complicated, sure.

But if you get something along the lines of:

> "User α should be redirected to view β after choosing option γ in the confirmation dialog and the view should contain fieldsets δ, ε and ζ, the latter of which will display a table with data that will be fetched according to issue η, will have an input field in each of the rows and will recalculate the values of column θ and ι, whilst also letting the user to press the button at the bottom of the table to validate all of the data and show validation messages κ, λ and μ if any of the data doesn't match business rules. Oh, and you should also be able to click on a chevron in the table to extend the table row into a sub-table to preview the data there, as well as open a modal dialog ν that will contain a dropdown and an autocomplete to select data from EAV table ξ, which should update the table data accordingly."

then it's likely that the majority of developers will run into quite a few problems with life cycle management, compared to something like React/Vue, where you could easily have nested components that would typically also be reusable wherever necessary.

At the end of the day, I'd argue that it's easier to find people who are competent in any of the nowadays popular front end frameworks/libraries, as opposed to JSF or even JSP.
If it possible that there'd be a long term effect like:

* Users know you have a nice gallery

* They are more likely to shop at your store

* In the end, you get more sales despite the lower conversation rate

I was the first user of the GOV.UK PaaS for a production service - GOV.UK Trade Tariff [0]. It's unfortunate that it has come to this, and as others have pointed out, the blog doesn't instil confidence about using other GDS services in the future.

Procurement in government is painfully slow, and that's one thing that the PaaS excelled at, all departments could get set up immediately.

I hope when making their financial assessment, they included the saving that all departments using the PaaS are making not in infrastructure but ops. Each service will increase ops spending; there isn't a comparable managed platform for UK GOV services, so each service will have to increase its devops support costs. I've used Google Cloud Run and AWS Copilot, and both are far from stable enough, in my opinion, for production use.

My only hope is that they revisit this decision, but it seems likely we'll have to move the services we manage off.

The Medium model is that you provide content, and they provide an audience. They're a middleman where both the author and reader is a customer of Medium, which puts them in the position of having to balance the needs of authors and readers.

The Substack model is that you provide both content and audience, and they provide hosting and monetization tools. They're a service provider where only the author is their customer, and so they're able to focus exclusively on what the authors need.
I've always wondered why there is no API to tell the memory allocator to take some time to reorganize itself.

E.g. a http server just processed a request and sent a response. Before it sits in the queue to pick up a next request, it could tell: Now is a great time to stop this thread if you really need to. Ditto a GUI processed an event.

GC could do a minor collection there. Malloc/free could take or give back some chunks to a lower level or the OS.

Java had System.gc() but it was more a 'take as much time as you want on every thread and go deep'. I am thinking more of 'Here is avtime limit of a few ms, reorganize this thread only'.
In my case, one of the things I have is a big stack of laserdiscs. Someone would probably pay OK money for them. But no way am I going to sell them one by one on eBay and even boxing them all up as a take it or leave it sale is almost certainly more trouble than what I would get for it all.
