I also had this thought once, but then looked it up, and found that it is completely wrong. It's basically like saying "we already eat plenty of fish... We just call em things like beef, pork, and bird meat".

Except that fish are much more closely related to mammals than crustaceans are to insects (same phylum, different class). Here is an example of an animal that is as closely related to a cow as a grasshopper is to a lobster: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salp

Edit: Even more, dietary preferences tend to focus on a single species. Plenty of people eat chicken but not turkey, or eat pork but not boar. There are even people who eat lamb but not adult sheep. And no one eats wolf or eagle meat. To then come and say "hey, you already eat one arthropod, why not another" is pretty absurd.

I'm not at all against eating insects, I'm just pointing out that the fact we eat shrimp has 0 to do with it.

Not if you can afford a cheap VPS to tunnel the traffic through with WireGuard or another solution. Here's my vague blog post on the topic: https://blog.kronis.dev/tutorials/how-to-publicly-access-you...

Interesting. What exactly do you mean by"concentration"?
Cooking meat allows your digestive system to ingest more proteins, for example.
This is why fire was such an unprecedented step in our evolution.
For example:
Raw egg: 3g of protein at most.
Cooked egg: 6g of protein.

It's interesting to see tech behave in ways that would get people banned from pubs. I'd worry if I dated someone with a product manager's understanding of consent.
Sounds like it was pushed hard and still is.
I was an IBM mainframe systems programmer (VM/370) for years.

All of the information you need is in the manuals. IBM is exceptionally good at documentation.

Also, the hardware instruction set is set in stone.
Stations are also the ultimate reason for most tunnel projects in urban areas, as you want to make the train accessible to the population locally.
You can also tell by all the talks about how "human" it is, which is a way tech writers praise each other for writing books about technology that require no knowledge of nor interest in technology to understand.

There's also the bit about hoping developers say no to cheating emissions standards. Picking that example and not, say - not assisting the Chinese government in surveilling their citizens shows exactly where the author wants to take these ideas.

These themes would be fun to discuss in some environment, but it's pretty clear that the goal is to create a page turner first, push a message second, produce insight last.

The author is funded by New America. An organization founded by a lady famous for helping Sandinistas sue the US government to for foreign intervention, then signing off on one of the worst interventions in the Global War on Terror in Libya.

It is possible that this is just ad copy for an otherwise good book, but forgive us for assuming that the person passing out christian literature at the party is probably mostly interested in converting new christians.
It makes me feel like this isn't trying to fool westerners, but rather other asians/Chinese.
.NET timezones are not really practically useful. I suggest using noda times with its IANA timezone implementations. The EF Core pg adapter has 1st class support for noda times thanks to Shay Rojansky.
As a normal internet user I am glad about the forced compliance being deprecated as well. It wasn't about power for everyone and there were some people generally meaning well, but overall it has damaged real diversity and inclusion significantly.

In Europe political developments have been desastrous due to this form of activism. The pirate party for example. Once a voice for digital freedom now advertises forms of truth councils and censorship on large internet platforms. This is a 180° direction change from their former mission.

Not seeing much light at the end of the tunnel here sadly.

This framing as a worker rights issue is dishonest as well. Sure, Musk will collide with some employment protections, but otherwise his refocus of the platforms seems correct. Because the former leadership lost their way as many other institutions.
I actually stood on the Mauna Loa caldera once when there was no activity, there was an officially marked trail that goes down right to the edge of it and there were signs that say something like "you can stand here at the edge for a short amount of time but go no further!"

Although surely they close that trail off when lava activity is expected...
Ok, I think I get what you're saying - this is a VS Code extension, but because VS Code is an Electron application, it's still "running in a browser"?
> Housing is a right,

If we accept that as true, then let the state build minimal housing for those who cannot afford shelter.

TBH, that still won't take away the buy-to-rent investors, because people will still want better housing than the state provides.
I'm not an expert but it might be that the cultures we have chosen for beer and cheese and so on are those that outcompete most others while still not being harmful in by-products to us. This might take a while for lab grown meat.
> Stop conflating petty theft with violent crime.

Stop condoning violent crime just because it starts as something petty.

It's not just that these people are stealing in "shoplifting gangs" it's that they easily resort to violence when blocked.

> It would be ideal if rehabilitation was what was happening during that isolation, of course. [...] I'd love to also see prison reform in the US, but it's a separate topic.

If you say so. This seems like a perfect time to fix prisons so that you could better use them.

> For petty theft, the victim is the business, which in the vast majority of cases is a large corporation, who has leakage built into their numbers.

That's a commie answer. Corporations are made of people, and owned by people.

If I robbed your house enough you'd eventually budget for it, at which point I could defend myself by saying "See, it's built into his monthly expenses!"

> If the stock market dropped 90%, then went up 200%, would you be celebrating the 200%?

Yes.

> Cities in the US are the safest they've ever been

Less safe than last year, for a few years now. Yes, it's smaller than all past gains but why are we slipping backward at all?

> The point isn't to punish more crime, it's to punish the right crimes to move the needle.

I'm not about the absolute numbers but the percentages. I wish there was less crime to punish, but of the more damaging types the problem is definitely that we aren't punishing enough. And yes, that totally includes economic crimes that make the everyday people poorer.

> Same reason to encourage unions, increase minimum wage, have better social programs, provide free childcare, provide free education, provide public health insurance. When people have their needs covered, they're less likely to commit crimes for money.

What a depressingly bad set of social policies but what a great demonstration of why we're in trouble.

Unions were a good idea when workers were dying, a little light crying isn't an issue. Minimum wage increases produce inflation not real wealth. Social programs are what's destroying many cities - specifically Vancouver, Seattle, SF. Free childcare is backwards compared to helping mothers work less in the first place and hurts the quality providers in the market. Insurance that everyone has isn't insurance, it's a poorly run buying program - mandate open drug pricing and help small providers buy at scale to achieve savings.

> When people have their needs covered, they're less likely to commit crimes for money.

Help make the economy better so they can afford to. Safety for people and property is essential.
Ouch, this is particularly egregious:

Could it not be R&D, instead of, or on top of, complex production?

(* They're more correctly called opto-mechanical since the movement sensing is done by way of a slotted disc interrupting light beams.)
No, it's the complete opposite. Plant based diets kill way, way less animals.
I would call that gaslighting yes. Basically you're declaring their judgement incapacitated in some way and try to convince them to abandon their views or change their behavior by distrusting their own sanity.

You may think you are right in this, but it is still gaslighting.

An alternative approach would be to just point out the facts and use arguments, and counter their falsehoods, which implicitly recognizes their ability for sound reasoning. That is not gaslighting, but merely debate.

I doubt there is ever a really good reason to gaslight someone.
Pages still exist even if you disable swap. Maybe you could benefit from reading TFA?
> The augment put forth is partly that an app store / hub not accepting all possible apps is a form of censorship,

I believe they are saying that a _monopolistic_ app store that doesn't accept all apps is a form of censorship. And then the article (along with some comments in this thread) explain how Google Play and Apple App Store are monopolistic
My website has none. I thought it was normal because I've had the "annoyances" uBlock filters turned on for so long.

Then I bought a device that doesn't support uBlock and got a taste of the modern web. Not pissing off your visitors has to be a competitive advantage by now.
Ah the good old natural argument, that does ignore that reality (or as some call it: nature) looks different.

What you call natural is societal behaviour that is specific to western society of this day and age. Even in our own society looking three generations back that "nature" looked different and if you cared to look elsewhere than where you live you'd find that what you call "natural" does not exist in certain other cultures as well right now.

Be careful to mistake something feeling natural to you (because you know no different) to something actually being natural in an evolutionary biological sense. Those two are very different bars to clear in terms of proof.
This is something that still irks me about these text generation AIs, the sentences they form make sense on their own and link to each other. But in one sentence they say "...our CEO has asked that we pay..." yet the next sentence says it will be charged to your credit card.

Either that or AI is making smart jokes. I fear for the second case.
Your obsession with recently invented pseudoscientific psychological constructs is worrisome, dear.
Well, i certainly cannot address every single wrongdoing in existence, as a single person I cannot save the world through boycotts, obviously. But yes, I do call out the kinds of things you mention. I get into arguments with people who are unaware or ignorant to the wrongdoings of the west or their country in particular, and claim the west is perfect today. It's not. But it has come a very long way in the past century. I try to buy fair trade goods where possible, even if it's sometimes more than double the price. Did I travel to San Fernando to verify my coffee really comes from farmers that get treated fair? Of course not. I boycott all brands that advertise using the Qatar world cup. I boycott Nestlé. I'm trying to do the right thing without dedicating my life to it. So don't call me a hypocrite to deflect from the fact that you're putting your desire for an accessible world cup over basic human rights issues with the hosting country.
I miss aspects of those days, because I made a good bit of money from people who used MyISAM because "it's more performant" (or just because it was the default, yes, I'm dating myself here), and then corrupted their data because MyISAM didn't enforce constraints.

Other than the easy money, nah, don't miss the old days that much.

Moreover, I dont think vegetables even need to replace meat in position — vegetables allow for other forms of food formats.. so utilize it. Every time I go to vegan restaurants I get the feeling they don’t actually like vegetables; everything is vegetable-replacements for meat-based dishes. And the tofu crafting is just baffling, with the whole chickin and bacin and whatnot
Yeah like it's just a notable headline - "beyond meat" "literally takes chunk out of other human being's nose"
Even better. The customers are paying for access to the internet. The services are paying for access to the internet. By some convoluted logic the users ISP wants the services ISP to pay them too.

I think it's a lack of imagination. It's hard to imagine the jobs of the future. We assume work is a fixed sum game, but given new resources we would take different goals and make different plans. It always depends on what is possible, not what was possible.
This is a lot of confidence for an opinion that doesn't seem very thought through. There are a lot of downsides to macros, and a lot of (apparently under-appreciated) upsides to code generation.
Btw this is a nice example how this stuff is subtle.

My first answer was going to be that the transformation is not allowed, but then I thought about it more.

I couldn't get gcc to break it either though. Either it misses the optimization or tries to be conservative with reordering UB with side effects.
I’ve seen huge improvement, from what felt like a lump of shredded beetroot and corn 18 months ago and made me swear off veggie patties, to being a patty that will permanently replace beef burgers in my diet (not a huge component anyway, maybe 1 /2 a month).

In general I’d rather eat vegetarian than fake chicken or sausages, but beyond meat’s current product makes me feel optimistic about a future without methane emissions.
Ironic choice, coming from a dictionary that regularly redefines words in service of political aims.
>If Microsoft wants to have an OS in the mobile/touch realm (I’m not saying they should), sharing apps with regular Windows is their only chance.

No, a better alternative is sharing apps with Android. That's one of the things 11 promised (but still doesn't officially, the amazon app store integration is beta software).

Of course, they get one thing right and 2 things wrong. 11 is dramatically inferior to 10 when it comes to the comfort of tablet use. The window manager doesn't suit touch use the way tablet mode did before. Neither does the start menu.
I'm starting to use the internet less and less for this type of thing. I can't abide using youtube, they bleep out curse words because of advertisers and other things like that.

How did the "wild west" of the internet become New England Puritan culture of 1620? Makes me sick.
I'm a huge fun of Beyond Burger. It's awesome!

...but it is so expensive. In my country (EU) it's easily 2x the price of real meat. And sells frozen in packs of 10. And there is ONE store that sells it.

At reduced price, packs of 2 would be a hit. Like this it's "yeah I tried it once, it was good... nope, not going to buy again"
Horrifying, that language may evolve and change as time progresses
I'm not sure anyone would notice a difference, especially with an interface like Siri where you can't easily flip enough coins to create a statistical distribution. And even then, pseudo-randomness would mean there's a seed, but that's probably shared with all other users (and likely not only for coin flipping), so I guess from your perspective there won't be a difference.

Agreed. It's best if applications pad data structures.

Unfortunately yes. I haven't seen a CPU use that latitude, though.

> it makes more things possible/doable a lot nicer, but that's useless if you have to also support things that don't.

hm, is it truly useless? I've found that even emulating missing vector functionality is usually still faster than entirely scalar code.

> if you're not considering exactly the capabilities of your target arch & bending data formats and wanted results around it, you're losing performance

That's fair. We're also losing performance if we don't port to every single arch we might be running on.
It seems to me that generic code (written as you say with an eye to platform capabilities) is a good and practical compromise, especially because we can still specialize per-arch where that is worthwhile.
>Looking at what people did with Rust macros it's shame that Go code generation story is either "just run some random binaries to compile stuff" or "put code instructing the compiler to do stuf in fucking comments"

Why is it a shame? Rely on macros and this is what you get:

1. Slow compile times

2. Unsearchable (grep, sourcegraph...) code

3. Magic codebases. Longer learning curve

To me, working in a large organization, those are big downsides.
That's funny, I havent heard a car alarm in over a decade - I just assumed that car manufacturers stopped rolling them out after consumers kept going to garages to dismantle them.

I am with you on leafblowers. I've heard they cause less damage to the ground than a rake, but the annoyance factor is high.

I'm still waiting for the deliverance of whisper quiet cargo trains, or cargo trains that blast some noise cancelling factor as they pass, or hell, a separate underground line just for cargo.

The phone number "49 (400) 817-0525" is even more exciting. Germany is 49, that's correct, but Munich's area code is not 400, but 89.

Maybe because the CXO is interrupting the tech people and don’t understand how important concentration is to puzzle solving, so the CXO feels that tech people are unnecessarily hostile.
From the article. "To be perfectly clear, I am not recommending Airbnb or Google stock here. I like both companies very much and think they are dominant in their sectors (travel and search) and likely will continue that dominance for the foreseeable future. But all businesses are at risk of poor management, new competitors, changing market structures and technologies, and many other things. Return comes with risks. Buildings can be risky too. Neighborhoods can change. Tax and other laws can change."
In the UK that's rarely the case. The veg options are usually the same price as the meat. In some places.

At Gourmet Burger Kitchen the Beyond Meat cheeseburger costs 30% more than its beef counterpart.

Clearly just one example but it's rare the veg option's cheaper.
The article should better explain what gaslighting is not. It's misleading to use the word "gaslighting" as a synonym to "lie", "deceit" or "fraud". Lies in general are used to gain unfair advantage, but in most situations we can think of it as a stealing. Gaslighting is much more than that. It's a psychological murder.
The Zurichfund website is hosted on GoDaddy, but more surprisingly - the MX records point to qq.com.

Couldn't find any evidence for the companies listed on opencorporates.com. Lots of claims on [1] are also clearly fake:

I couldn't find a single mention as ZurichFund being an investory in many of the companies listed: Ancestry, HealthEdge, 21Vianet, ClearGen, Altus Power, DCI, Kronos and Ultimate Software, Bridger Aerospace.

They claim a $100M investment in TWTR in 2017, so someone could check that perhaps?[2]

You can't really make packaging materials from tough cellulose-y things like bean stalks because mice eat it, you can't really make building materials from it because it goes on fire, and because it's tough and made of cellulose it doesn't really break down well in a compost heap.

Do you know what composts that stuff like crazy, though?

Feeding it to cows.

And even better, it reduces methane and carbon dioxide emissions, because you're turning all that carbon into cows instead of just letting bacteria emit it as gas.
