Auf Wiedersehen Schnitzel: Meat consumption hits record low in Germany

More and more Germans are swapping meat products for plant-based proteins, according to Germany's Ministry for Agriculture, but not everyone is ready to give them up.

Today 10 per cent of Germans opt for plant-based foods compared to six per cent in 2018.

For second grade I would recommend the ScratchJr book and also the ScratchJR cards.

I have taught Scratch to different grades at my kids school. I have found third grade to just barely grasp Scratch.

ScratchJr on the other hand can be picked up by kids as young as 4 but ideally at 5.

I have a whole curriculum designed around it that pushes the boundaries of what you can do with it.
For some reason I thought he was a nephew. Fixed; the substance of the comment is unchanged.
A lack of civic knowledge among the populace is a failure of the education system, not the people themselves. If you give people the obligations of living in a democracy (paying taxes, subjecting themselves to its laws, signing up for the draft, etc.) without actually letting them participate in that democracy, then it's not a democracy anymore. 85%[0] of Americans don't know when the Constitution was written; 61% of Americans don't know the three branches of government.[1] Barring well over half of Americans from voting would not end well.

This comment made my day. Thank you
We developed that stuff because we were paid to.

We were paid to make and use those technologies because we were taught that’s how society works.

Fiat economics is not solving human problems. It’s propagating fiat economics.

Humans have no divine purpose. The universe does not force social norms on us. We do that to each other.

You exist to pass the butt… dollars around. Fiat economics has filled the biological hole religion stumbled upon, probably helped evolve.

The only reason for any of this is deference to those who came before.
> Is your argument that we should try to remain ignorant of these things?

Is that really the most charitable way you could read parents comment? Obviously they're not arguing for that, but rather arguing for "voting with your money", so stop using services where abuse is evident/apparent.

And yes, it's a fairly large list, but it's not unmanageable. Me and my family try to do the same, it's not a huge hassle and it's not like you have to look up every single company before you buy anything, but if something comes up about a specific brand like "Nestle" or whatever, then we change to something else.

Lastly, the list is smaller than you think, I think. Most common consumer stuff you have at home is made by few huge corporations owning all the brands. "The Illusion of Choice in Consumer Brands" (https://www.visualcapitalist.com/illusion-of-choice-consumer...) is a famous view that shows you the situation.
Can I ask what your position/title is?
I think you are underestimating how a well known „secure“ label (or lack thereof) could influence customer behavior. It’s not that they don’t care - they (understandably) lack deeper knowledge and therefore don’t base their purchasing decisions on how long they will get updates. „If sticker X is not on the package I will get hacked“ is much easier to grasp.
But if I have an ethernet-connected device that doesn't emit RF for some non-networking purpose, it should still qualify. It should just need the transducer and a network connection.
> Only two thumb keys seems like it could be a pain.

Depending on the context (mostly in games), I sometimes hit "B" with a thumb on my Ergodox. I think holding B/V for layer toggles could work on this board?
Obligatory plug for the book “Bullshit Jobs.” But, what you’ve said is the mail on the head.

What blows my mind is how much engineering effort we collectively put into consumerism and business process, without taking a step back to the design phase and asking ourselves if we need a new architecture.
You mean higher temperature.
I added a comment voicing support. I also added concerns about only being able to update devices through specific ecosystems. I use Home Assistant at home, and many devices will only update through the likes of Google Nest or Alexa - rendering them unsupported on day 1. I was lucky enough to know not to purchase devices that have this issue, but many home owners could find this out the hard way. Firmware should be available from a publicly accessible location.
Apple is right that standardizing to one connector will stifle innovation of new charging connectors - though USB-C is pretty darn good right now and I don't think we'll need something better for a while.

I'm wondering what kind of secret sauce/protocol Apple is going to use in their USB-C plugs and sockets to add proprietary features available to their own cables - maybe allows faster charging and data rates with Apple USB-C cables compared to standard USB 2.0 transfer speeds even if you use a quality non-apple USB cable?
Sounds like a case of protectionism?
I like opinionated camera manufacturers. We need more of them. We need more experimentation and more competition in the sensor space. During the film era we got about a dozen formats on 135 and 120 films, because camera and film manufacturers weren't closely tied together. Today camera manufacturers cannot afford to experiment, because they need to pay Sony to make them a sensor. Going digital has increased the cost of camera manufacturing, because you cannot buy a sensor separately from the camera body like you used to be able with film cameras and film.
What an impactful project! I'm applying for your Product Engineer role, but I also wanted to share a page I made for you on my site highlighting a few reasons I think I'd be a great fit.

Yes. In addition to two of those keys being attributable to the federal government.

Which, at least in the US DoD's case, already manages the world's largest PKI system.

The key difference with the UK scheme would be (1) the tech company would retain the final decryption key & (2) any use of that decryption key would be required (technically and legally) to generate a public audit record (albeit optionally obfuscated if the court order so requires it).
The idea of the magnetic accessories for a steel case seems interesting.

(I'm the cofounder of Coherence)

I consider the "best-in-breed" tools with this shape to break into the following categories:

"Infra Abstractions": DuploCloud, Massdriver, Stacktape
"PaaS in your own cloud": Nullstone, Zeet, Quovery, Porter, Architect.io, FlightControl
"SDLC Platform for Teams": Coherence (withcoherence.com) - the key difference here is in how CI/CD (incl integration tests) are handled, how development environments are configured alongside other environments, and how production is segregated from other environments.

This a somehow both a crowded space and an emerging one. But we believe that even with the diversity of choice that there are clear reasons that most teams will by (vs. build) their internal dev platform in the future: namely the cost to buy vs. to build/maintain, and the productivity from better tools.
As a computer-engineer, the circuit design needed to make a fast multiplication operation (ie: Wallace Tree, and similar) are an order-of-magnitude larger than the circuit design needed for fast addition (ie: a Kogge-Stone Carry lookahead Adder).

This idea that additions and multiplications can be combined like this as "equivalent operations" is kinda bullshit. But hey, if its "how its done" (and its done this way because multiply-then-add is how you do matrix-multiplications...) then so be it.

Just remember that this is an arbitrary subdivision of a matrix multiplication operation, that may not have much relevance as a benchmark outside of matrix multiplications.
No. Businesses can deduct mileage by personal vehicle usage (now $0.655 per mile)[1] , and so if I'm on a "work trip' and use my personal car, typically I will get reimbursed by my employer at that same rate. And if I was self-employed, of course, I would get that tax deduction.

However, personal vehicle use is not tax-deductible for individuals.

Thanks for your response!

To add on the "label" point: I don't think labels are enough, not in a world where consumers (private, commercial and governments) primarily look at the price in purchase decisions. At least a base set of legally binding requirements must be established.

ETA: I'd also love to see an exception for small scale / startups. Like < 1000 units sold per model and year. That allows quick iterations while the large offenders still have to comply.
Good luck patching security problems then?
> What happens in 2-3 years when this version of Android is abandoned?

I had to install a Let's Encrypt certificate to get my self-hosted password manager working because Google's updates are missing an intermediate certificate Let's Encrypt uses. This is not a hypothetical down the road issue but an issue present right now. Why should Google be the final arbiter of who I trust? They clearly have their gaps.

And let's not even get started on the existing approved certificate providers that you shouldn't really be trusting since they've been shown to provide certificates to people and organizations that shouldn't have them.

> An Apple CPU is another version of the ARM chip. How do I buy a Whopper at McDonalds?

It's not that you want to buy a Whopper at McDonalds. It's that you have a Ford and if you try to drive it to Burger King to buy a Whopper they disable your car because Ford owns McDonalds and Chevy owns Burger King.

Which in turn keeps anyone from producing a new make of car or a new brand of food, because no existing source of food will serve you if you're not in the parent company's vehicle and no one can scale a new restaurant or grocery chain enough to make some other brand of vehicles viable when people in existing vehicles can't patronize it.

This kind of tying is meant to be prohibited.

> Pepsi chooses to not serve customers who go to McDonald’s and Costco chooses not to serve Amex customers.

People who want Pepsi can go into McDonalds, come out with a Big Mac, pick up a Pepsi at any vending machine or convenience store and go sit down and have them together. People who buy a washing machine at CostCo on their Visa can go buy detergent for it from Walmart with their Amex.

> You either choose to work with customers where they are or you don’t. Just like video game makers

The same antitrust action should be applied to video game consoles.
I'm pretty sure this ridiculous nonsense is why people give me crap for carrying a film camera with me everywhere I go, then they relax and apologize when I tell them it's just a personal choice and obviously doesn't make sense for almost anybody these days.
It would change, but again -- it wouldn't be appreciable.

Security policy is needed that accounts for the behaviors of the vast majority of users.

To echo other commenters, it's simply because it's not needed as heavily anymore, and it's a very optimal design for the purpose.

Consider what satellite imagery was like six decades ago. The CORONA program used massive and complex satellites to take photos on film reels, then jettison and recover them using parachutes and catch them on a hook from an aircraft. Yes, really. Back then, it was much more effective to send a plane over and take some images manually.

Very soon after, even as early as the mid 70s, digital image processing and transmission made these obsolete with the launch of the KH-11 series. By this point, it was substantially faster, cheaper, and more reliable to use satellite imagery rather than spyplanes for general purpose surveillance.

The other thing to consider is the rise of surface to air missiles and air defense systems. These greatly changed the calculus of manned surveillance flights.

Right below it says "Plant based Frankfurters" in a font only slightly smaller than the rest. No-where does it mention meat, there is no animal printed on it and plant-based is mentioned twice, right on the front label, once in small, once in medium letters. I mean, what do you expect? I'm all for producers not fooling customers, but compared to really egregious things you sometimes see in the US, your example doesn't strike me as deceptive at all.
Mine were also off (Win11). I also usually turn off anything like this, but I don't recall doing it recently.
Speaking as someone who has several cheap cameras gathering dust in a box because I no longer trust them with network access...

...manufacturers are simply never going to be incentivized to take security seriously. The best you can hope for with a regulatory approach is to incentivize them to pay more lip-service to the idea, while hiding their backdoors better. Their incentive to spy on users is simply too profitable.

(And, the legal environment is such that users can simply click-wrap away literally anything. If the terms say you agree to let the manufacturer monitor your conversations, guess what, it's no longer spying. Perhaps any such language, in the built-in firmware OR IN ASSOCIATED APPS, should immediately make a device ineligible for a favorable label.)

Only users ourselves, actually have users' interests at heart. The only meaningful improvements in security that I've ever seen in the wild, have been with open-source firmware that completely replaces the device's own. Not a shim on top that adds functionality while preserving the OEM's backdoors, but a complete ground-up replacement.

Therefore, the most meaningful step would be to require support for open-source firmware. Providing all the data such that open-source drivers can be written, providing a working build-environment, and making it easy to install user-provided firmware, would go a long way.

Then once the device is fully supported in the mainline distro of a mainstream FOSS project, its label could indicate that support may extend beyond the manufacturer's whims or even existence. And since the label wants to be affixed at time of sale, the incentive is on the manufacturer to get this support work done before they even ship.

Also, require a meaningful cybersecurity response. That is, they have a disclosure contact, they work with researchers to fix vulnerabilities under standard timelines, they pay bounties that make it worth researchers' time rather than incentivizing them to sell their vulns, and they check related products for similar vulns rather than playing perpetual whack-a-mole.
That sounds awesome. I do some mountain biking myself and have sometimes thought that it would be cool if you could replay your rides in 3D through a sparse SLAM point cloud. Of course it would very hard to run SLAM onboard an MTB as there is so much vibration and changes in lighting.

I'd like to add that switching to a drastically different keyboard is the perfect opportunity to simultaneously switch keyboard layouts if thats something you've been considering. I switched from QWERTY to a layout based on Programmer Dvorak when I got my Moonlander. I'm really glad I did.
> Nobody would ever use it in a real world application

Math tutoring is a very legit application. It will be an incredible learning tool — but it needs better logical reasoning abilities with arithmetic. It seems like an easily solvable problem, given that math problems and answers are easy to scale into massive datasets.
> US perspective (eg theft of bikes / crime is not AS serious a problem as Brazil, although it can be bad):

In the US we take the utilitarian perspective that the thief who took my bike has gained more happiness than I have lost without it, so maybe bike theft is a good thing[0].

In Brazil a bike is probably a fair bit more dear and may more likely be the user's only form of rapid personal transportation.

Regulation to require a certain period of security updates doesn't seem useful to me. It's very easy to send out a "security update" that doesn't actually improve security. You can send out an ad to all your users saying "You should upgrade now to our newest product!" and call it a security update. Requiring security updates may end up just requiring companies to spam their users with a certain amount of marketing material.

A bigger issue than the available of updates is whether security updates are automatic and mandatory, or optional for the user. If a security update requires some action on the user's part, most users won't want it.

The overall problem is that the main IoT security problem is botnets, not insecure devices per se. A botnet does not affect the owner of a device very much. Thus, the owner of a device usually prefers an insecure device, rather than taking some risk of the security update breaking the device.

I'm not sure what the FCC should do here. It seems reasonable to hold the manufacturers of devices responsible in some way when those devices are used in a botnet, but I'm not sure if that's within the FCC's scope.
That's logical as an argument, but I think it explains too much — why wouldn't tradespeople have been doing this before the pandemic? What was the counterveiling force to priority-queuing?
The important part is from a software perspective, none of that stuff matters much. The benefit of RiscV is you can be sure that your low level software (e.g. an OS or HPC thing that requires hand coded assembly) won't be tied to a specific company's hardware.
> either they must provide full (FLOSS) source code and documentation

I like the spirit of this, but one problem with this is that the software stack is likely not FLOSS, and the manufacturers don't own all the software.

A second problem is that lot of the software for production IoT-devices doesn't live in the device.

Third, there are safety concerns with a lot of devices that you'd need legal productions for.

Finally, the best IoT devices use a zero-trust architecture. You'd need to support a variation of this pattern to allow users to modify the devices.
It's done currently in Pyodide: Python with DOM integration running with WASM. Minimal application with stdlib is around 5.5MB after compression now. Not small but still manageable depending on the use case.

Still I agree with your other comments, and in particular not being able to share caches in the browser is very unfortunate (but understandable).

> Not everyone has a dark room laying around.

You don't necessarily need one for just developing the film - dark bag to load the film onto the spool which is lightfast and bob is your photographed uncle (source: me, having done this in very un-dark kitchen twice.)

I suppose if you want to make your own prints, that probably needs a darkroom but you can get a film scanner cheap and print them on a colour laser, inkjet, or even one of those Selphy dye subs in lieu of that.
The accuracy loss is more consistent with some kind of quantization of the model(-s) behind the scenes than the alignment gone wrong. Quantization to serve more users faster, on same amount or less of compute.
I remember using SSHFS way back in the day on Mac, also back then thinking "SSHFS" meant "SSH + HFS." It was always confusing to grab the right tools for it, and it never worked very well. With remote codebases, I just SSH in and edit in Vim.
> Which is already what Android's security model specifies.

Which means removing user control over that data.

> Unverified devices have the possibility of having that security model broken.

Again, this "security model" implies removing user control. The apps protect user's data from that user..
Indeed. And that's good.

Yea I hear this, I moved my ` and | symbols on my dygma raise, an mostly got ride of \ (its on a different layer), since I was only really using it for \n.

The biggest change for me on the Dygma raise was the thumb cluster. I moved my backspace to my thumb, as well as different layer shifting keys. The muscle memory is quite easy to learn, since your brain is already "expecting" to use your thumb to shift to other functionality (since we use our thumb to press command), so it simply makes all my vscode shortcuts 2 simple strokes instead of 3 or more.

Also moved my arrow keys under my fingers on a different layer, makes it so you don't need to move your hands when navigating around code. On that same layer I added option + arrows as well for fast navigation.
