1.7kg of feed gets you 1kg of chicken[0]. for a crop that humans can't even eat. and then you eat the american broiler chicken for calories, only getting 10% of them. if you get 500 calories from eating some chicken, that took 5,000 calories of chicken which took almost 10,000 calories of feed. this is assuming you eat all the chicken, including organ meat, feet, etc. trophic levels are fun!

this is why you can get "funny numbers" like the napkin math that lets you know the US produces enough food each year to feed 10-20% more than the entire world population. it mostly goes to animal feed or landfills though.

aside from the obvious animal cruelty it's wasteful. and the corporate capture from animal agribusiness means fruits and vegetables are artificially more expensive than meat and animal products. wonder how that ties into the obesity epidemic and poverty?

I don't get it. I really don't. From any angle I choose to look at it (ethical, health, environmental) meat seems like a terrible choice. Why is it that during perma-drought I can buy a burger every day for a few dollars, and each one of those patties took over a thousand gallons of water to produce?

Another classic blog post on this topic that I like coming back to: https://www.codeofhonor.com/blog/whose-bug-is-this-anyway - specifically the "Your computer is broken" section. Apparently Guild Wars ran some computations in the background with a known result, and if those computations didn't yield the correct result, the game would inform the user about a potential hardware fault.
This is both a a very US-centric and trust in authority figures take.

For the rest of the world however, and people who understand that power should have limits, and that a distrust in authority figures should be the default state the idea that companies like Oracle and Google are mere extensions of the CIA/NSA is terrifying.

As you say, it depends a lot on the project, but you're thinking too narrowly when it comes to types of projects. IME, dual license is most applicable to libraries that might wind up in native applications. With, say, "GPL or pay us for proprietary" a company trying to ship a native app is faced with the choice of not using the library, paying for the library, or releasing their product under the GPL to use the library while avoiding paying for it.

Note that the baseline being discussed here, and in the article, is accepting a patch, not writing a bug fix or new feature yourself.

If every bugfix mandates a fork, the whole ecosystem becomes impossible. So the answer to you question is yes: unless you explicitly label something as a research project, one-time release, no patches welcome, we’re better off without it in the long run, as the sea of dead npm packages shows.

APRAnet was a project to build a communications network without a centralized node to determine routing so that if large chunks of the physical network were destroyed (nuclear attack is the typical scenario envisioned) then the network would dynamically figure out how to route around the broken/missing network segments and traffic would get through. Rumor is that the first real-world test of this ability was the first Gulf War when the allied coalition physically destroyed upwards of 80% of Iraqi telecoms... but messages on the Iraqi network still got through, albeit delayed after bouncing around alternative routes outside of Iraq before reentering near the destination node.
Consider that America has around 45 million immigrants, most of whom probably haven't seen much of the world either. Assuming all those immigrants have no native-born children (an obviously terrible assumption), then we have 50 million passports for 250 million native-born Americans, a 20% rate. Compare that to germany's 90% rate.

When I was younger, cities were excellent and I would never have imagined wanting to live outside an urban center.

Now I am older and have kids and have massively different priorities than I used to; I wouldn't live in any city in any country anywhere. If it's not a suburb, count me out. I value my space, my yard, and my control over my ambient environment. I value my multiple cars that can get me to where I want to go when I want to get there. It's nice and quiet and people are fewer and more predictable. Yes, there are tradeoffs -- the culture sucks, but I can leave my house and go elsewhere for culture. I don't need it right outside my house. It makes my life harder to manage.
They want it to die. They don't want to keep supporting Heroku but they don't want the bad press of killing it outright. Or at least they're pivoting from independent hosting to an enterprise value add for SalesForce.

Or they're really short-sighted.

> Use Absolute Paths for Importing Code Blocks

I've always felt this one should be built into the TypeScript compiler. Most of my projects are set up to share some utilities and its annoying to integrate babel or other tools just to fix the paths. I've previously used [ttypescript](https://github.com/cevek/ttypescript) with the [typescript-transform-paths](https://www.npmjs.com/package/typescript-transform-paths) plugin. Gosh, it would be enough if TypeScript just natively supported plugins in the tsconfig (which is what ttypescript provides).

I grew up in a rural area, and I experienced zero instances of loud ATVs and shotguns where I lived, at any time of day. This view sounds like a TV trope, which one might lean on if they don't have much in-person experience of living in a rural area themselves.

The advice to try it before you buy it is sound though.
Cities are completely unaffordable right now. If you raised concerns about a sudden glut of empty and available homes, you'd be laughed out of the room.
Sometimes, people are looking for small and boring, like some parents who are raising kids and are no longer partying every weekend. (There are also pros and cons to raising children in cities; growing up in NYC I got a free transit pass in middle school and was able to take myself to places like the Met and the Guggenheim pretty effortlessly, and you certainly can't get amenities like those everywhere.)

There's nothing wrong with small and boring, the major issue is that generally the overwhelming majority of US housing stock and zoning laws are geared towards picket-fence suburbia, to the detriment of people who don't necessarily want that. Plenty of people certainly want that, but it's probably not anywhere near like 90% of people in the US.
Everyone and their dog are talking about that, too. And the UN doesn’t care, they are just a place for opposing forces to come and talk.

Also, Saddam Hussein and Taliban were (and Taliban are) quite evil in their own regard; there were nearly no opposition in the world for US operations against them. Ukraine wasn’t and isn’t evil.

If you take them at face value that's the reason, personally they've lost nearly all my trust so I'm wary of accepting that as the reason. Also fraud and abuse are not unique to Heroku, every hosting provider with a free tier has to worry about that. This is a case of throwing the baby out with the bathwater as well as showing they don't really care about new developers coming to their platform.

In this thread and the other on the frontpage currently there are many people who started using Heroku on the free tier and now run or work at companies that spend thousands or tens of thousands a month on Heroku. This change is causing at least some of them to start looking around or even say for sure they plan on moving off of Heroku. This will effect Heroku today (people leaving) as well in the future (people never coming in the first place). To me that's a sign of them giving up (if it wasn't already clear by their actions over the last years).

But they don't. Google is much bigger than search from an office competitor to a cloud provider to a phone software vendor. DDG will not become google. Something with a bigger reach like tiktok might.

Being funded by search ads was never an issue with google and privacy until they switch from contextual ads and morphed into personal ads.

DDG winning search on bing search isn't the same trajectory. At best lycos like would be the most likely trajectory.

A single loop with an undetermined end condition and you're toast. So that's why having deterministic behavior is a thing to strive for because it allows you to make a guarantee. If all of your code paths are 'straight through' you just tally up the longest sections and if that's below your budget then you know you are going to be ok in all situations.

The question is where and how do you draw the boundary for censorship? If you can't use science to draw the boundary, what is left? Let humans with their own biases do it? This inevitably turns into dictatorship.

You can come up with hypotheticals where truth strategy may harm some people.
But censorship strategy is guaranteed to harm more people in the long run.

Also your hypotheticals can be easily countered:

> disease that is entirely harmless but 100% infectious and deadly to some group (e.g. Black people). Now should that research just be released into the public? This might encourage some groups to purposefully infect these people, thus putting them in significant danger.

Let's say you decided to censor your research. And then few years later the groups that you mentioned got lucky enough to discover the same disease. Now, because your research wasn't public, the world was not able to develop a cure.

The road to hell is paved with good intentions.
> Town around 50000 is a good bet then.

Maybe. Two examples I've lived in or around are Chambersburg, Pennsylvania and Hattiesburg, Mississippi, with populations around 50k. Chambersburg is probably little bit more walkable because it's a little more dense, but neither are (in my opinion) comfortable for walking or biking outside of specific areas, and those specific areas don't have everything you need.

> You seem to have read the details of the case, yet you say that Asian Americans are fighting for equality by citing a case that has determined at the lower level and appellate court that no systemic discrimination occurred.

"Students for Fair Admissions, Inc. v. President and Fellows of Harvard College (Docket 20–1199) and Students for Fair Admissions, Inc. v. University of North Carolina (Docket 21-707) are a pair of lawsuits concerning racial discrimination in affirmative action programs in college admissions processes. "

It is though. It is alleging racial discrimination. It is literally the first line on Wikipedia.

> Please don’t extend this meme… Asian Americans are doing just fine in admissions across the board at US institutions.

That seems completely orthogonal.

I don't have a horse in this race. I am a bystander telling people to go look up the case materials and study them for yourself as a matter of intellectual curiousity. Not sure what is the cause for your defensiveness, I am not even arguing those nor am I interested in it. I'd say, the fact that urging people to seek facts is causing an uproar for defense and a lash out, should an indicator of importance of this case. Please read my first comment and see if there is anything but factual matter. There is no "meme" here. As per the facts of the case, plaintiffs are fighting for equality and alleging discrimination. That's not up for debate, whether you support for side or the other. We don't need to argue the case here on HN, that's being done for us by the brilliant lawyers on both sides for us :-).

> > You always have full power available.

> This is also incorrect, but less so than the max torque claim

Eh, I think you're being a bit pedantic here.

The point was that in an EV, you always have the maximum torque for a given speed available. Whereas in an ICE, you'll have to downshift, which in some automatic cars can take a second or two. You can suddenly floor the gas and go nowhere, whereas an EV takes off immediately. Even a 600 horsepower hypercar will be a little sluggish if you floor it at 55 mph in the top gear.
Spherical aberration is caused by the focus deviating across the image, there being only one point in the centre where the image can truly be in focus. So although the image can be improved in the way you describe, you can’t recover the information that is out of focus.

We are not (and never were) censoring results. I realize I caused the misunderstanding due to own my unfortunate phrasing in a tweet, and since then, how our news results rankings work has been highly misinterpreted.

We (DuckDuckGo) subsequently made a help page to explain it in detail: https://help.duckduckgo.com/duckduckgo-help-pages/results/ne.... Tl;dr: we don’t censor, we don’t move things so far down that they are effectively censored, we don't evaluate individual stories or narratives for "truth", and we don’t rank based on any political agenda or opinions. This is just a summary though so would read the help page for details.

I also put out a clarification thread about various misconceptions that included this topic amongst others (like the fact that no, we’re not owned by Google), but the help page referenced above is the best and most thorough explanation of our news rankings. https://twitter.com/yegg/status/1515635886855233537

I think it's the converse: after we've hunted orcas to near extinction, that very intelligent species realized they were no longer the apex predator, and could never win against a land-based species. There are ZERO documented incidents of orcas attacking humans in the water. They've chosen a cultural taboo against hurting humans, in hopes that we would no longer see them as an enemy and stop hunting them. And it worked!

Guessing the rudder attacks are either teenage pranks or misunderstanding that boats belong to humans.
