This is a complete strawman. I'm muslim, born in a muslim country, and am living in the west yet I absolutely agree with the person you are replying to. Muslims are targeted by hate speech constantly, and there was a period in time (like, 3-4 years ago) when that was particularly intense. Much more so than almost any other minority, and in a much more concrete way (christchurch, travel bans, secret prisons, etc)

Yet, I still would agree with a free speech absolutist much more so than with someone who thinks they know best about what speech is ok or not. And that's precisely because I'm a minority. I know that having a gatekeeper that decides what is or what isn't hate speech is never a good idea in the long run except if you belong to the majority who ultimately gets to decide what speech is ok or not.

It is also quite ironic to use "stochastic terrorism" (which is a dangerous term in and by itself) as a justification for your argument. It's a complete regurgitation of early 2000s talking points, especially to imply that those who disagree with you are turning a blind eye to some form of terrorism. In a way, it proves my point about being suspicious of any attempt to restrict free speech. Because it's the same exact tactic that was used to prop up islamophobia and justify human rights violations (I mean, who would want to turn a blind eye to terrorism, right?!).
You haven’t had any. You’ve only had the beyond meat stuff. Maybe educate yourself before commenting so foolishly.
I love a good veggie patty burger. I also like the Impossible burger. I'd love to see both on a menu so I can choose the one I want. And heck I'll eat a meatburger on special occasions as well. There are a couple of local restaurants that had really nicely done veggie patties that have been displaced by Beyond/Impossible burgers, and it's a shame.
Most current "new" technology is old technology revisited and made usable.

Sounds like you could go work for your former colleagues.. plenty of opportunity there. What is stopping you?

With respect to your self esteem etc... Journaling might help you figure things out. I would also look into therapy as well especially for the gambling if you think it might be an addiction. Whatever you learn there will help you in all areas of your life and startups.
Start with Arduino/ESP32, tons of great tutorials. Learn how i2c works, kirchoff's circuit law, and ohm's law, and play around in the Falstad simulator that runs in a browser (https://www.falstad.com/circuit/)

Then find an appropriate sensor module breakout board and connect things up.

Other that the very basics, what you should focus on highly depends on whether you're a "Mad science analog tinkerer" or "Ultra modern high tech" kind of person.

If you're serious about this stuff you probably want to learn 3D printing to make cases.

I think the most important thing is reasonable expectations. Commercial products take months to design and large teams to handle all the companion apps and stuff. Either keep your project very simple, use off the shelf stuff wherever possible, or be prepared to spend a lot of time on it.

And be aware of the time and effort required in physically assembling things.

Despite having done this stuff for years, I still don't actually have any custom hardware in use at home, because commercial stuff is 80% good enough, and has warrantee support and all kinds of features that would be a bit time consuming to DIY.
Efficacy of R21/Matrix-M vaccine against clinical malaria after 2 years
Can you point me to some of this mathematical proof? Because I'm seeing advice all over the net that it can help iron out short-term volatility.

Your point that "If you think it will go down over several months, you shouldn't be buying in" is fine, but I'm not sure it's equivalent to "I don't know what it's going to do anytime soon I'm buying this for long-term prospects".

Imagine a stock with a sinusoidal price fluctuation at a frequency of just under a week, but which you expect to rise significantly over a 5 year period. Investing in that weekly over 5 weeks will net you a more locally average price than going all in today, particularly if you don't have good information about that sine pattern. Going all-in right now might net you a low price, but you may also be buying at a local maximum.

It's probably sustainable for everyone to eat a large fraction of a pound of meat per week. The average American eats over 4lbs. of meat per week. This is not sustainable.

> The thing is, vegetarian food is incredible without needing to taste like meat. When I've had these products, I've always walked away feeling like they taste inferior to traditional vegetarian burgers / sausages that don't try to taste like meat.

I love meat, and the best non-meat burgers I've eaten that I would absolute eat again and again, didn't try to be non-meat. They were just really tasty vegetable burgers.

It is interesting how they mention in the article that some Deloitte analysts think there is a segment of consumers who think this plant-based meat is "woke" or is otherwise related to politically-left leaning ideas. I think this kind of resistance to the fake meat is irrational, but there is definitely memes and other ideas on some corners of the internet that associate certain foods/dietary choices with the "Other".
I agree with that. I don't agree with GP's assertion that "most" relationships suffer from this.
Heck yeah. It's like pasta primavera and pasta bolognese. If you want one, you're not going to be happy with the other.
> there were older people saying just how bloated and inefficient Windows 95's UI was, with all the mouse clicking and things hidden behind menus, etc etc...

Oh, yes there were such people, plenty of them.

And by the way, there are still people who do the same. Except it's not just '95 but any Windows and of course they could do anything in CLI much more effectively. You probably know those under the name 'Linux fanboys'.
Any reason for going with a header instead of media types?

I found media types convenient in that they can be explicitly specified in an OpenAPI specification.
Yeah it's really not, it's about trying to keep the housing market about housing the local population rather than allowing in investor funds from overseas which warps it, changes what gets built at what price, and drives people into rental rather than ownership.

If you don't have the right to live somewhere, why should you be competing in the housing market and pricing out the local population?

Particularly if the nature of your competition is to keep properties mostly empty while speculating on price (see, for example, a lot of the high-end apartment development in London).

It's not xenophobia, it's a fundamental disagreement in what housing is actually for.
As Mauna Loa erupts, Hawaii officials warn of 'Pele's Hair.' What is it?
I started learning C around when ANSI C came out, and learned much of this in self defense. I'm glad I decided to learn C++ in recent years, it has fixes for so many things (like pass by reference instead of passing pointers, const values can be used to define array sizes though it's better to use vectors anyway, etc.), but that's off topic.

A few things I didn't see mentioned:
Add multiple inclusion guards to every header file you write, it saves multiply-defined errors and such:

file mygreatheaderfile.h:

#ifndef MYGREATHEADERFILE_H

#define MYGREATHEADERFILE_H

/* insert usual header file content here /

#endif / #ifndef MYGREATHEADERFILE_H */

Most (all?) compilers have a "don't include this file more than once" preprocessor directive, but from what I've seen they're nonstandard and they vary, but using the above method always works.

If I have a "complete program" with a main function and other functions in one source file, I put main() at the end and put all functions in the order they are called, that way there's no need for function prototypes (except for recursion) as there would be if main() is the first function in the file. None of the C books I've read said you could do this, but when I figured it out I thought yeah, it's just like Pascal and assembly, you have to define something before you use it, but you can make the first occurrence be the function definition and not have to have a separate prototype.

As for naming and capitalizing, as the document said, there's no standard/convention of camelCase vs. snake_case, but all macro names using #define are by convention in ALL_CAPS. That way it's easy to tell a MAX(x, y) macro from a max (x, y) function, and you can eventually learn why never to write such perverse things as MAX (x++, y++). Trace through the expansion to see why (and see why it's better to use a function instead, or in C++ a template):
#define MAX(x,y) x>y?x:y

Equals comparison/assignment and if statements: One of the most common and insidious errors in C is accidentally doing an assignment (=) instead of comparison (==). Modern C compilers (the ones with integrated C++ compilers, see below) will give a warning when they see this, but still, if one of these is a constant, put the constant on the left so it will give an ERROR if you accidentally try to assign something to the constant as in if (5 = n) instead of what may feel natural but be wrong (and compile fine with an old compiler!), if (n = 5). There are other gotchas like this, but I can't think of them all, and there's probably too many to post here anyway. I do see "undefined behavior" discussed. Be sure to make backups before running your code.

If you need to do maintenance using some original C compiler for an embedded controller from 30 years ago (or indeed modern C as is still popular in embedded systems), you really need to know all these ins and outs, and I might be convinced to help for an appropriately high hourly amount, but virtually every C compiler nowadays is part of a C++ compiler, and you can do much of this stuff in C++ using better code practices, resulting in fewer bugs.
Why would you assume that there’s a record of it being sealed?

Usually that fact is sealed with your record
It is definitely not only about the zero-covid policy. There are certain slogans in there that people rarely say because that takes a serious danger. So not much, but that means more.
The latency is likely lower since you don't need to look for parking.

Slightly off-topic: The current Tokyo subway system has the unfortunate property that it turns off between midnight (~0) and early morning (~5). The Loop thing wouldn't have this likely, but I don't understand why Tokyo does this, especially for the trains that don't have a driver.
I would much rather be part of a community whose members are verified amongst each other. Paying for verification does not solve the problem of determining who is a legitimate user. I’m more capable of vouching that a user is genuine through my interaction with them, than a system designed simply to take money and dole out a blue check mark. I’ve never been a fan of anything that is “pay to play”. That’s usually the foundation of a rigged system.
YMMV, but tempah is the single most disgusting soy product I've ever tasted.
This is a neat idea. Are there examples of this in the wild?
I understand media skepticism, but your comment is just as reductive and misinformed as saying that all the protests are pro-democracy.

There are both types of protest right now in China. Many are anti-local government, asking for the central government to help rein in the provincial and city-level officials who are the ones actually responsible for enforcing zero-Covid.

But there are also many pro-democracy/human rights type people coming out as well, especially in Shanghai and on university campuses. There are tons of videos of them calling for democracy, for Xi Jinping to step down, that kind of thing. You can find them on Twitter, but you’ll have to sort through all of the spam that the Chinese government is flooding relevant hashtags with.
> "Game changer"

made me smirk, as games is what likely would have profited from it

games are also what tends to be some of the more havy compute applications outside of servers

through it likely would be mostly just some code here and there deep withing the game engine

but then this is also an example where auto-vectorization can matter as it means writing platform independent code which happens to be fast on the platforms you care about most but also happens to compile and run with some potential (but only potential) performance penalty when porting to other platforms. Not only makes this porting easier, it also for some games might be fine if the engine is a bit slower. Main drawback is that writing such "auto vectorized" code isn't easy and can be brittle.
> The first Japanese Shinkansen train went over budget by 100%, but nobody remembers that anymore. Instead they talk about how wonderful the Shinkansen trains are.

The next generation National Space Telescope went over budget by a factor of twenty and fell behind schedule. That's another data point on the loss of American prestige. I couldn't watch the documentary at the repeating use of the word incompetence. One recent commercial resupply vessel failed to open one of two solar panels and the Lisa probe failed to lock on of the two solar panels.
This is an absolute nothing burger. Story is extrapolated from a couple of tweets. Where did all the real journalists go?
if you expand that etc a little bit you'll see the problem. cities in coastal states are pretty close to a majority of the population.
These companies are losing a lot of money. That the raw ingredients are cheap doesn’t matter much if the cost and complexity of processing is high.
How old is the author? Going in I thought this was about how to form close friends into adulthood (like 30s and 40s)

But after reading I’m thinking maybe this guy is still in college.

I think the cards for forming deep friendships are way better stacked in early 20s college than say, a work from home mid 30s professional.
I suspect political pressure would be to at least match competing programs current safety record. I don’t think they can hide failures / would want anyone to see that happen.

Ask HN: Does Stripe have an uptime SLA?
I’ve noticed Stripe communicates their 90 day uptime on their status page but I’m curious if any Stripe users know how this manifests in actual SLA language. Is 99.99+ committed to over a monthly period in the SLA? I can’t find anything about it in their public docs like AWS, Twilio, GCP, etc
Complete opposite experience on both counts, anecdotally. I've been vegetarian for years, and the texture of meat (and substitutes) creeps me out. My town has like 10 restaurants that dropped their veggie burgers for beyond/impossible.
You forgot to add "to the moon!" at the end /s
If you’re vegetarian, why do you want the uncanny valley version of meat? Be a vegetarian.

I have always thought that the target market for Beyond/Incredible/etc was not vegetarians, but rather partners of vegetarians. They don’t really want to give up meat but they want to support their partner and/or avoid conflict.
I love the idea of Starboard. But seems like the development has stalled?
Basically we are talking about TV dinners and fast food. Meat is cheaper and better in this realm than the expensive and highly processed vegetarian stuff.

I'm fine with either but I don't eat much fast food or TV dinners.

For homemade the processed fake meat is more expensive and harder to work with than just grilling some steaks.
It's very, very difficult to run trains with headways of under 2 minutes (as in, under two minutes from one train closing doors to the next train closing doors). The record holder is apparently Paris Line 1 at 85 seconds during peak hours, and some lines of the Moscow Metro do 90 seconds.

This is where ironically where the double pumping of Zen 4 shines, it's less of an problem with it.
I don't think the "white paper" statement in these protests is about zero-covid policy exactly - it's clearly about censorship and freedom of expression.

The zero-covid policy precipitated the unrest - guess where covid policy and freedom of expression intersect? That's right, self-determination / democracy.

Most of these protests are not directly about democracy yet, but they are definitely hinting toward it.
How does Storj ensure long-term availability of data? If a number of nodes drop out, or their hardware goes bad, you may not be able to reconstitute your files.

Or maybe long-term storage isn't what Storj is for?
Copyright violations are a violations against a legal abstraction. Deepfakes are a new form of deception (I didn't imply sexual deepfakes). I used the language of "minors" to explicitly reference those gray legal areas around boundaries and teens sexting each other (which has landed those children in legal quagmires). None of those examples are "abhorrent" as much as "complicated".

> "Site deciding this or that political view is now bad" is so dangerous.

I'll admit again: I was quite happy when accounts supporting and promoting ISIS were banned from various social networks. I was more active on social media then (less so now), and it made me feel very uncomfortable to be on the same platform being leveraged to the ends of those radicals. They were just using it so _gleefully_.

I don't know if I'll be accused of wanting to control what people read, because that's what that is. But I think that falls into the political views most of us agree we don't mind if a social network purges. Violent revolutionary religious politics. It's somewhat natural that they'd have a business interest in maybe not hosting that stuff.

So is violent revolutionary religious politics the boundary? Companies should be free to police those political accounts, but less free to police others? Is it a sliding scale or a hard boundary? Who determines the degree of violence? Is implied violence included? If so how do we determine implied violence?

I'm not attempting to answer those questions. I'm saying those are the questions that a statement to the effect of "You want to control speech (and I don't)" is trying to avoid.

That said, those questions are hard, and maybe arguing about them and answering them actually requires a long time and a lot of consideration and doesn't fit neatly into a hacker news thread.
it's neat, but it's kinda slow (25x slower than native when I tested it)

How much space does one need to use a laptop? I would argue that working from home is one of the single biggest advantages people with good time management could possibly have. The additional time gained could be spent towards solving the problems you described. After all, you're no longer bound to that apartment anymore. You can make a plan and move to a lower cost of living area. You can leverage the circumstance to your advantage. I agree with OP in the sense that talent is made with practice. Those hundreds of hours spent in your daily commute to the office, plus all of the other distractions, could be spent learning new skills or solving personal problems. "Talented" people go to the office, solve their problems in 50% of the time or less, and pretend to be working the rest of the time. At home, they invest that time on improving themselves in a myriad of ways.

Or we can waste it. There are plenty of folks who do that no matter what circumstance they are in. But those are not the talented folk OP was referring to.

Circumastances vary. Some people want to get away from home due to spouse, kids, pets, or other distractions. Other folks dont have any of those problems and can work much better from home. It just all depends.

The additional amount of money spent on energy is inconsecuential. Charging my laptop and flushing the toilet costs a few bucks a month. Taxes? You could overcomplicate those I suppose. I file my taxes in the same way I did in the past. Sure I may be leaving some money on the table. But it is inconsequential compared to the salary/bonuses one could receive if one leverages the WFH situation as I described above. I save almost $1200 a year on gas by working from home. I dont really care about optimizing taxes for a few hundred bucks. Its not worth my time.

Just offering another perspective.
Why can’t we come together as a community and innovate a way to shut down this time wasting clickbait garbage? It’s a cancer of the internet.

There has to be some mechanism to disincentivize clickbait.
I’m not positive but I have a feeling it’s the methylcellulose. In my own home experimentation, none of the ingredients seem to cause issues except for that.

It seems fairly benign, but it can’t be digested and it isn’t clear to me if we have gut flora which can break it down efficiently.

I enjoy throwing together little experiments in a similar vein to beyond meat or impossible burger products, but it feels too much like a lab experiment to eat regularly. My kids like “meat balls” with spaghetti, so I tend to make that and otherwise I’m gravitating back towards whole food-based garden burgers.

A weird thing about beyond/impossible is that while they appear moderately healthier than real meat from some perspectives… They are still pretty trashy. I can’t not feel like I’m making a bad choice, even if it’s home made, and at the end of the day I just want to feel good (mentally and physically) about my food.

Ubers lie was it would be profitable at scale. They were never profitable at all while growing, but always claimed that if they just had a few more markets they'd finally be profitable.

My number one trade is shorting Tesla. I've been short via puts since over $300 and recently rolled over my position to extend the expiration to June. I think $100 is easily in range, giving Tesla a market cap over $300B which is still ridiculous.

Good luck on your ROKU but I personally feel like that's dead money. They are basically another TIVO and they are a small player that will likely get bought, but not from a position of strength but from weakness. But different opinions are what makes a market, so good luck!
