It already is, poor people in poor countries eat very little meat even though they would like to eat more.
The shot across the bow at the US is kind of old and tired at this point. I'm pretty sure Europeans still use corporate letterhead as a type of legal guarantee.

It would be pretty cool if you could make your point without blaming an entire country for being luddites though. There's plenty of "cutting edge" "future thinking" companies in the US. Sometimes, old tech is the best tech especially when paper tends to last a lot longer than even governments.
This should be hire up. I live in the US but went to visit family in Brazil, and after setting up my PIX payment, I was honestly kinda shocked at how incredible it seemed. It boils down to a very well implemented, super versatile, public Venmo-like system. I'd hazard a guess that startup ideas around leveraging this new infrastructure may be a great idea the moment.
Ask HN: Do your all-company meetings talk about the technical side of the house?
We have a quarterly series of "state of the company"-type meetings, and I realized that we have never talked about what the developers have accomplished. Usually, it's just sales and marketing, with kudos going out to people on those teams.

The company is a tech scale-up with about 2/3 of the workforce being developers.

Is this common?
still how do you give the user the option to say "I know what I'm doing."

I get that access to an unknown site with unknown content with a dated cipher should _by default_ break. By default!

I do not get that I cant't access a well known site any longer because that site that I don't control just doesn't update their cipher. In that latter case I need to and want to be able to override the default recommendation of the gurus --- without having to rebuild my client!
I used to use Guake for a long time, then when I was looking for an alternative with less dependencies, I found Tilda (https://github.com/lanoxx/tilda), which is very similar.
You’re confusing things. You do pay property tax regardless. You can deduct that from your income on federal (and probably state) tax return. But you definitely pay property tax. And some states have no income tax but very high property tax, and don’t get any sort of state deduction

France didn't control Lebanon for long, less than three decades and never as a colony. These pictures here were taken a couple of decades after Lebanese independence. I imagine the collapse of the Ottoman empire and the resulting turmoil has more to do with the upheaval we see in the region than the Europeans leaving after their relatively brief period of control.

And Iran was never colonized (Egypt's a bit more complex, though it wasn't simplistically colonized).
It's just the default way to hire. You look at what you want/previously had and see if they have it. As a candidate you should treat this as a sales problem and address it directly. If they are left with narrative they believe it probably won't be a problem.
The great thing about Ada/SPARK is that it has a package manager now (Alire). This means there are existing SPARK packages you can use, and you can share what you make. SPARK is also an Ada subset, so you can use verified components inside your Ada programs.

The greyness of your comment possibly indicates it has been deemed bigoted. It's relevant regardless. The subject of human parasitology certainly shows geographic and cultural distributions. One example is a strange case of neurocysticercosis, perhaps the most common cause of epilepsy and result of taenia solium or pork tapeworm. The case I recall involved a Jewish family, all infected and symptomatic. Doctors had difficulty discovering the source due to both assumed rarity of the disease and the preclusion of pork in a kosher diet. The eureka was the servant, who did not practice a kosher diet. Because this worm can lay 80k eggs per day, all of which are small and sticky, they tend to accumulate under fingernails, presumably as a result of grooming and outlier of hygiene. There are numerous parasites that are either or both geographically and culturally concentrated. In the US, neurocysticercosis is most common in California. According to sources not my own, this is due to the larger population of individuals who come from areas where swine handling is more common, along with certain mitigation practices or lack thereof. The French have a higher rate of toxoplasmosis, possibly due to, eg steak tartare. There are many examples.

Here's the British Heart Foundation:

> Contrary to some of the reporting on this issue, cutting saturated fat doesn’t necessarily mean lowering all fat. We all need some fats in our diet and, over time, the very low fat diets recommended in the past have been put to one side as our understanding of the effect of this nutrient has developed. So, current guidance tells us to switch from saturated to unsaturated fats rather than cutting the fat completely.

> However, it is still important to talk about processed foods and what is in them. A lot of the food we eat is pre-prepared, and while sometimes the processing is as simple as canning tomatoes, processed foods also include foods like ready meals, sweet treats or processed meats where food manufacturers can alter the amounts of different fats, salt or sugar.

> As with our diets, when one thing goes out, something else will take its place. The concern is what saturated fat is replaced with when it is removed. Replacing saturated fat with refined carbohydrates, like sugary foods, or trans fats won’t improve our health, but replacing them with unsaturated fats seems to have a positive benefit.

> We also know that we are already eating too much salt and sugar on average so, while we welcome changes to reduce saturated fat in our everyday products, we also want manufacturers to be mindful of what they replace it with. As consumers, we still need to keep an eye on food labels to understand what is in the foods we are buying and make the best choices for ourselves, too.
This is becoming a trend on HN where top comment points calls out the criticism in a thread. I personally feel there is nothing negative about critique and one of the reasons people broadcast their work here is to receive more feedback on it. Not every showcase automatically deserves a compliment. I think we should respect people for their opinions and the danger of applying negative pressure to criticism is we create a sheltered sphere where everything has to be "positive".

Yes you are right, it is hard to get a sense of the materials from these CGI renders. Getting hold of recycled aluminium in small quantities is proving difficult so hence the hedge to say recyclable* not recycled* on the website. I will try hard to make it some % recycled aluminium though.

The grain on the videos is poor and I'll work on that.

The finish of the materials is not finalised but to give you an idea, the case will be a semi-satin anodised aluminium. It will likely be more matte than, say, a Macbook. The plastic will be a matte PBT type hard plastic.
Given the importance of hemp in Japan historically, I also think this would be a great move. An example of Japan’s former reverence of cannabis: The sumo uniform is made of hemp.
I think the move wasn’t following fads. In the mid 1900s there was ample evidence pointing at sugar being the culprit for rising obesity rates and other weight-related aliments, but there was a large push from industry to willfully ignore that and label fats as the bad guy. As a result consumers wanted low-fat foods and “healthier” alternatives to traditional fats.

The pesticides are designed to kill insects, but research shows pesticides and their residual byproducts do accumulate in animals that eat the plants treated with pesticides.

Animals also accumulate things like heavy metals and the drugs they are given.

Plants can be washed of pesticides fairly well and they accumulate these chemicals at much lower rates, but meat can’t be washed of what has accumulated in it.

Overall the health outcomes of consuming plants appear to be better than those of consuming meat.
Absolutely. And you can use that fact to steer conversations on a smoother course.

The warning on redefining const globals is important. It's there because when you change a const global, that change may not get picked up in functions that use the variable (since you declared it as const). Using the type annotation prevents the compiler from saving the value of the global in other code and makes it do a lookup at runtime.

I basically agree with that.

So keep in mind the world eats basically European cuisine. It is for this reason that in Paris yes food is great but nothing is exotic because eg Duck á la Orange is known everywhere (and it was particularly exported in the 20th century, and particularly with the Green Revolution). And it's made to suit Europeans, so it seems like the restrictions are lax but actually European Christian diets are baked into the sanitary codes. So like shellfish. Wilbur Wright died of shellfish, and many others, he was the son of a bishop. The thing is Christianity and especially European Christians dominate the culture around food in the West, have tons of cultural export. So they're the default, so it looks like they don't care. But oh man do they care. When they travel they get special bottled water, say.

And it's the most typical thing to have dietary restrictions, for a long time I avoided fish for mercury while eating crazy doses of fish oil, a brain damage recovery diet, Christians accommodated that. It just never came up as a religious doctrine, it's fine. The Christian usually has idk type 1 diabetes, that's restrictions, or is an athlete, that's restrictions, or is a woman seeking to lose weight that's like 80% of women right there, that's restrictions. Bodybuilders are much more restrictive than Orthodox Jews.

Orthodox Jews seem very restrictive, and yes they totally are, but while it is partly because they make basically no concessions, and are part of a powerful ethnic group in America, meaning they have power everywhere, like newspaper editors, practically if not literally all producers, a good share of politicians, bankers, what else...well they also have been a fractionally small highly persecuted (on-and-off) minority for thousands of years.

In agreement, let me cite the exception that proves the rule: Charterhouse monks. Eat no meat absolutely ever. I think do eat fish, so fish on Fridays is a Christian thing.

I think for most people, up until perhaps very recently, their phone usage patterns have continued to scale with the improvements in efficiency and performance and progress has been very stagnant. As in, the 2-3 phones they've had over the last 5-6 years all get through the day and then it's charging time if you want to be OK on the next day. Even if you're on 40% at the end of the day, you still have to charge.

Mossadegh wanted a secular independent Iran, England empowered the mullahs and worked for decades to destroy the secular left in Iran (along with the US). Eventually even the mullahs and bazaari turned against western colonialism.

You design things for how they are used. If it is a keyboard meant to live out it's life on desk, then why design for how it is packed away? Perhaps if it was advertised as a portable travel keyboard then designing for storage would make sense.
'Colonial Influences' were exactly what they were - 'Colonial Influences', Here in India, British barely spent money on education, or industrialising the country. Whatever little infrastructure got built, was done to ensure British could efficiently siphon off whatever they were trying to take from here.

To that effect, the pictures of modernism you see from the colonies are restricted to a few cities, and a few minority people from those cities. Bulk of the population masses lived in absolute poverty, illiteracy and there wasn't even a glimmer of hope for the future. The pictures misrepresent a non existent past, making it look like when natives were under colonisation, every last nook and corner of the country was overflowing with affluence, modernity and education. The reality is the exact opposite.

Since independence government spending is a lot more uniform and focused towards the benefits of Indians. Building infrastructure, institutions and projects that make sense towards national interests and not to make some European colonial power win WW1/2.

I wouldn't be surprised if that is the case with other former colonies of Europe.
Doing low-level programming in a Lisp is much like doing so with Cython or RPython: you're using effectively a different language with familiar syntax.

Not that there's anything wrong with that! And a case could be made that much of the power in Lisp comes from the ease of turning it into, effectively, a different language.

But it's less "all the power of a high-level GC language and the ability to write low-level systems code" and more "all the power of a high-level GC language or the ability to write low-level systems code".

Why do people always have to reinvent the wheel despite it being almost impossible to compete with Android and iPhone anyway, leading to burn-out and failures?
