> Steak and other "whole" cuts are harder, obviously. But 40-45% of beef consumed in the US is ground beef[1], so cutting that by even half would get us half way there.

Frustratingly it wouldn't, because the ground beef being consumed is largely an afterproduct of cows raised for those larger cuts. Burgers are cheap not because beef is cheap (it's not) but because they're being subsidized by brisket roasts and tenderloins cut from the same animal (there's surely some dairy cows in the mix too, but I'm led to believe that most older dairy animals get slaughtered for non-grocery products like animal feed).

We need to reduce steak/bbq consumption primarily, doing so will make burgers more expensive and reduce their consumption as a side effect.

“Full self driving” isn’t just ambiguous, it’s fraudulent.

The car can in no way fully ‘drive’ itself unless you define ‘driving’ as not including many things that are universally thought of as necessary skills to operate a car.

I think they taste as good or better than 90% of fast-food burgers. If you top them with pickles and sauces and veg, then it almost doesn't matter what the "meat" tastes like. Plant-based will likely not ever replaced actually high-quality beef, but that's not what most people are eating.

My go-to plant burger is to caramelize some onions in soy sauce and melt a slice of cheese, then a dollop of Korean chili paste. Tastes great. I also make meatballs with Italian seasoning, air fried, then finished in marinara. It's the kind of recipe I used to make with frozen supermarket ground beef and using Impossible Beef doesn't really make a difference. It's not identical, but it doesn't matter. Still tastes good.

A medium-rare prime rib is only ever going to come from a real cow, but I eat that maybe once a year.
>>Maybe so, but your food choices seem to be similarly driven by some kind ideological motivation.<<

I'm not a conservative on most issues, but youthful (18-39) conservatives might be more ecologically bent than you would expect, so I'm not sure which ideology you were referring to. The "let it all burn" and "toss it into the ocean" attitude is a dinosaur and people are (finally) seeing the writing on the wall. The Boomers are retiring and starting to die off. Gen X and the generations after are starting to make decisions, and they've always been more ecologically sound on both sides of the isle.

I think there's your answer. That's hard to do, and software mistakes cost a lot of $$$ and time to fix. You have to go into a dealership/service area to get any updates.

Also, the vast majority of Tesla's customers are attracted to the idea that their car will continuously update itself and get better over time.

It seems inherently human to hold faiths/beliefs, even outside of organised religions.

Hell, I consider myself a pretty logical guy, but knowing that opening an umbrella indoors is meant to be bad luck, or seeing faces/creatures in empty shadows at night always makes me second guess myself for a second.

I suppose it's just evolutionary survival mechanisms at play; if the members of your tribe drink from a certain spot and then die, nobody will drink from that spot. If doing the hokey pokey before planting crops always seems to result in a bumper crop then the rest of the tribe will start doing it - for the times where nature does not provide a bumper crop, well, that's why characters like the devil were invented, to explain away those scenarios.
I've used SSE and websockets a lot. I like SSE. But it has two key weaknesses compared to websockets.

Firstly, it's unidirectional. The server sends a stream of events to the client, but the client can't send anything back. That might not be a problem at a purely semantic level (maybe the client doesn't have anything to send back), but it means you can't implement application-level heartbeating or flow control in-band; there is no way for a server to know if a client is reading messages, and if it is, whether it is keeping up with the stream. You can use TCP-level state management and flow control for this, which is inadequate, because there are all sorts of failure modes it doesn't catch, or doesn't catch quickly. Or you can implement the back-channel via separate HTTP requests, which is pretty ugly.

Secondly, SSE connections are subject to the browser's HTTP connection limit - i think most browsers these days have a limit of six connections to any given origin. If you have one connection per page, the user can open six tabs, and then any further attempts to access your site, using SSE or not, will mysteriously fail, because they can't open a connection. Websockets are not subject to this limit; they have a separate per-origin limit, which is usually much larger - 200 for Firefox, 255 for Chrome (although Chrome also has a global limit of 255 websockets?). For SSE, you may be able to work around this by port or hostname sharding, or sharing a single connection using a web worker, but all of these are complicated and intrusive. Now, this conversation started with talking about HTTP/2, and HTTP/2 does solve this, because it can multiplex many SSE connections over a single TCP connection (at the cost of head-of-line blocking on packet drops). But now you're making HTTP/2 a hard requirement for deployment - fallback to HTTP/1.1 just won't work reliably.

You have to remember that you don't actually have to have 60% of people quit meat cold turkey to reach that number, you just have to get ~6/10 meals averaged over everyone meals that would have had meat to not be either by switching to something naturally meatless or using a subsitute. You can drastically reduce meat consumption across a population without anyone being vegetarian or vegan.

> ideological motivation

Maybe it's possible you don't literally mean "ideology" but the reasons people choose to consume less meat are typically epistemic:

* Because it reduces their carbon footprint and is better for the environment.

* Because, for them, cutting out meat improves their health. Usually related to cholesterol, blood pressure, heart disease, fiber, and sometimes osteoporosis.

* Because veggies and meat substitutes take longer to spoil.

* Because veggies and grains are less expensive.

* Because cutting out meat is associated with long term successful weight loss.

The only ideological reason to switch is animal suffering.

it really depends on which embedded you are talking about - 8-bit micros with 128 bytes of RAM and 250mhz 32-bit behemoths are fundamentally not programmed in the same way, and let's not talk about some ARMv8 linux-based embedded which is likely more powerful than the computer you used to play Quake III Arena on.

When I'm procrastinating hard on something, my best solution so far is to divide it to lots of tiny action items (~10 minutes each) and commit to doing at least one item every day.

Sometimes that's enough to get me in the mood and I can satisfyingly cross out a dozen items in one go; other times I'm not in the mood, and after just a few minutes I can check the box for the day and move on. The knowledge that in the worst case I'm just literally 10 minutes away from feeling good takes the edge off a lot of causes for procrastination.

Scroll HN for 30 minutes while agonizing on whether to commit to 3 hours of feverish debugging or just have a nice evening? No thanks, I'll just spend a few minutes setting up the debug environment in the most convenient manner possible, or find out just one tricky detail, and deal with the rest in the future.

Of course, not all tasks can be split up like that, YMMV etc.

Edit: if the task is big and just writing the todo list is too daunting, that too can be split up.

Also, despite the simplicity, obviously some days will be missed, and that's perfectly fine. In my mind it's not even "at least one item a day" anymore as much as just making the smallest unit of work less painful than the baseline suffering rate of procrastinating on something.

> Why do fake channels like these exist in YouTube?

Why are you calling this a fake channel? Fake is a pretty strong label. Do the videos not attempt to answer the questions they supposedly answer? I could see calling it low-quality and SEO driven channel, but I'm not sure if fake is a fair label if it attempts to give accurate information.

> I have reported this channel several times and still these exist.

Is your goal to get this channel removed? Is that best for the world?

I have no idea if this is true, but what if this channel was put together by some recent high-school graduate who is learning video editing and this is their path forward to practice and get better and better at his craft? Do you just want to kill his motivation and dream or can you just not ignore content you don't like?
This is really visible in bridge; the hands are all random but how you play them is entirely skill.

Anyone can win with a perfect hand; the skill comes in dealing with the imperfect hands. True in life, too.

Bridge is nice that you can compensate for skill somewhat by handicapping, and the less-skilled players can still get a great hand and win sometimes. I always say "bridge is a fun game to lose" - and that's a really important part of a game you want to play.

And that's fine, the point isn't to make everyone go meatless. People with strong preferences are always going to exist. The point is to reduce meat consumption overall in absolute terms.

Out of the box, Tesla sends anonymized location data (the anonymization can't be perfect as the article points out) for traffic data reporting. Otherwise, pretty much every system in the car like the headlights, CAN bus, ABS, door and window microcontrollers, HVAC, battery management system, etc. are both updated during OTA updates, and send tons of telemetry to the main computer for processing and streaming to HQ, allowing Tesla to do extreme optimization and analysis on how well their parts are working and how efficient they are, with the ability to get cars in for service long before a problem turns into a catastrophic failure or makes the vehicle undriveable.

Because there is nothing to take serious at the moment. It's still a decade or more away. In the meanwhile, regular automation and outsourcing is eating jobs on a regular base. We don't need humanoid robots for this.

In the first place it means labor will become cheaper. Why pay for expensive hardware, when people are willing to work cheaper to make a living. The same happens now with automation. Cheap products are getting outsourced to poor countries where things are man-made for pennies, instead of using some fancy automation to make some lasting high quality-product.

Amusingly enough, since most virtual currency activity is simply trading it back and forth on exchanges to try to "make a buck", it's probably mostly "legit" now.

What percentage of actual on-chain transactions are not illicit is another question.
Yes. I'm working on an actively developed rails product that is close to 10 years old. All the stuff that just followed the "rails way" is still super easy to work with to this day. All the "experiments" (you find these in any old code base as developers and fads come and go) in "decoupling from rails" or whatever are extremely fragile and difficult to work with.
Without causing this to become an argument of semantics, generally speaking, the US has higher class mobility than the rest of the world. No, it is not commonplace for someone born in abject poverty to become fabulously wealthy, it's not commonplace for anyone to become fabulously wealthy. That said, it is rather common for folks to come to the US in pretty close to abject poverty and grow to sustain a middle class lifestyle, something which is nearly impossible in most of the rest of the world. Is someone with a middle class lifestyle in the US "rich"? I guess it depends on your outlook, and this is where semantics plays a part. Mobility is not entirely caused by intelligence or hard work, but they definitely play a part.

You are correct that the best way to become rich is to be born into a rich family and inherit the wealth (or the opportunities that create wealth). But it is simply false to state that this is the only way, or even the predominate way, in which people become rich in democratic free markets. There are a LOT of small business owners in the US that, are at least on paper, millionaires, and most of these people were not born into rich families. Through my life I've known many wealthy people, and only a handful were born into generational wealth, the majority grew their wealth during economic booms and worked to entrench it so they could survive busts, most by starting a small business in a high-value niche. By global and national standards, many people who are simply professionals and not even business owners, are rich or wealthy, just by being smart with their money. If you own a home and are working a job that pays six figures for your entire career and invest well, you will retire a millionaire without much difficulty, which definitely puts you in the upper quintile in the US.

This fatalistic, defeatist, and frankly infantile attitude from some people that acts as if wealth is only ever granted by random chance and at birth is utterly ridiculous, doesn't help anyone, and is factually incorrect from every angle. Your comment clearly illustrates an understanding of this, but you seem bent on defending the thrust of the comment I was replying to from the other poster.
Curious to see how the crypto world will respond. They'll probably take a minute to realise that being sanctioned is unlike being indicted: if someone is indicted, they have a problem but you can technically keep doing business with them.

If an entity is sanctioned, anyone doing business with them (such as handling BTC downstream from Tornado) will face a criminal liability. You will have a problem, and a nasty one.

That thing just turned into a hand grenade.
Tangential, but the people that are hired are farm laborers not farmers.

The farmer is the person doing the hiring (or, rather, on behalf of whom the hiring is done, whether directly or indirectly.)
So how does sanctioning defi work? Isn’t the whole point of it being decentralized to make it unsanctionable? If the government forces exchanges to reject any coin that has ever touched a mixer won’t we just end up in a situation where every coin is unnaccessable given enough time?
Side question: does anybody know of a Hacker News type aggregator for biotech which isn't fuddy-duddy or paid? Sites like STAT+ and Fierce Biotech usually feel more focused on business concerns ("Company X just got $Y in their series A") and less about questions like the one this author is writing about ("how can we work to decentralize pharmaceutical research?"). I'm very interested in these topics and ideas, though not necessarily in Web 3.0

I work as a computational biologist in the pharmaceuticals industry, and I can absolutely vouch for the idea that centralization of resources is a massive problem. Pharma companies have to build extremely redundant infrastructure (vivariums, lab space, etc.), and buy equipment that often goes underutilized, in order to repeat experiments that other companies have already completed but not published. From the computational perspective, teams suffer greatly from "not invented here syndrome," and spend massive engineering and technical effort to re-implement YET ANOTHER RNA-seq processing pipeline.

If we, as a field, want to maximize our impact upon the largest patient population possible, we need to develop a decentralized system to do science. If there was a way to publish intermediate results (e.g. "we tried to see if this drug fixes kidney fibrosis and it seems to sort of work"), and subsequently get credit for that finding's role in the creation of a drug down the line, we could massively reduce the amount of experimental redundancy that plagues the field today. I'm not sure if that solution is via a blockchain or not, but I think that vision would yield a better system.

Ask HN: How important is an traditional education for programming?
Hello everyone.

I'm 43, been coding since my teens, and mostly self taught. A few classes in high school/college but my bachelor's degree was in Industrial Systems Engineering.

At my jobs I've mostly been around other self taught people with degrees in other non-cs fields. A couple bootcamp guys with no degree, and 1 ivy league guy with a cs degree. So my exposure to how important college is might be skewed.

A friend's kid recently asked me how important getting a degree was and I couldn't really put a good answer to that as most of my friends/colleagues are self taught and not using their degree.

Granted I learned good technical writing and I guess engineering team work, but is the price of college worth that? Occasionally some college level matrix math or statistics helped in some apps, but for the most part I just don't use those skills.

What does HN tell teenagers ready to leave high school for their next step?
