> Watching a bunch of live hatchlings get sucked into some grinder is not the same as watching a Halal killing or some tribal hunting ritual.

You aren't comparing like for like, most people who kill animals doesn't perform a ritual, they just kill it.

Also you can't compare a video trying to show something in a positive light "ritual killing" vs a video trying to show something in a negative light. If they showed you a video about a slaughter that went wrong, the animal is crying as the slaughterer ends it, blood everywhere, then people would feel very bad as well. Or if they showed you a slaughterer joking about as he was slaughtering animals, you probably would feel more as well. Those things are the reality of traditional killing, I don't see how it is any better than a machine doing it. The end result is the same.

The main difference is that we no longer need to train a lot of people to be killing machines like we did before.
I would argue that mass spectrometry based proteomics is capable of offering much better insight into functional relevance than transcriptomics. Proteins carry out function... and mRNA levels are only loosely coupled to protein levels (at best, expect an R^2 < 0.4). Why measure RNA when what you really care about are proteins? People just do transcriptomics because it's cheap.

This particular paper has flaws - as you mentioned, only a very small number of peptides are measured. I work on proteomics, and I remember this discussion from when the paper was initially published: https://mstdn.social/@pwilmart@scicomm.xyz/11087205681645628...

Paleoproteomics isn't what I would call well developed at this stage. How do we know that the peptides that were detected were actually from Vlad? Many people may have handled the letters over the years.

Webster's:

1a: an unforeseen and unplanned event or circumstance
Their meeting was an accident.

1b: lack of intention or necessity : chance
They met by accident rather than by design.

2a: an unfortunate event resulting especially from carelessness or ignorance

Car accidents match one or all of these definitions.
I drove from the Northern tip of Alaska to the Southern Tip of South America, 40,000 miles through 17 countries. I shipped my Jeep inside a shipping container around the Darien Gap from Colón in Panama to Cartegena in Colombia. [1]

It is a very common thing to do, takes about a week of paperwork and a friend that did it recently paid $1000 USD all in. It's important to note it will be a lot more expensive if your vehicle does not fit inside a 20 foot shipping container (or a 40 foot high cube if you share with someone else).

Note: It's the door height you need to check, which is lower than the actual container height.

I heard a rumour that before the 2014 soccer world cup in Brazil, the Brazilian government said they would pay for the road to be built if someone would step up and build it. Obviously it never happened (For context Brazil built a TON of roads through the jungle and what-not in the lead up to the world cup)

> I was talking about what it takes to brute force a single key.

If you have some insight to the tool that created the key you could, lots of systems have doors by design, typically by creators or regulation for export.

My main point though was that these keys will probably be found in the future. If they aren't broken then actually found, and that much concentration is too much. It creates a rug pull for an entire currency ecosystem. Other crypto coins are even worse in this aspect.

> You are misunderstanding the orders of magnitude differences in modern encryption from some weak schemes of the past.

You are basing this on modern tech. Making the same mistakes of people of the past. Right now I said AES-256 would take longer than the universe in existence, I get the orders of magnitude. I just think people base these ideas off of the present, not the future.

> "some encryption from 40 years ago was weak, therefore all encryption is weak."

Do you believe in 40 years we won't have advancements that may make this statement look silly? Right now they are secure, we don't know what is to come.

That is besides the point though, the keys are dangerous as they are concentration of leverage/power of not just a stock, but a currency...

> You are extrapolating off of something isn't a pattern in the first place. No one thought triple DES would last forever.

You are making the same mistakes of time, you don't know what is to come and the past has shown previous algorithms actually last LESS time than they expected. It does play into it.

Let's simplify this because you are lost in the weeds and resorting to ad hominems.

Do you think it is a good idea that a currency has keys out there, that can be found either directly or with time, that have heavy concentration?

Is concentrated unknown wealth of a currency, the root of all financial systems and power, a good idea?
I agree! It's a softening of the language. I just think it's interesting to note that in his bit, he often artificially further softens the term.
You don't need a solution when you point out a problem.

I've found this attitude in a lot of people. I think it's designed to shut down ideas that they don't like. At least that tends to happen.

Describing a problem builds awareness. It's the first step to a solution. Insisting on a solution is just another way of ignoring a problem.

Honestly, the only product that can really compete with uBlockOrigin at this point is a version of AdNauseum for Youtube -- something that registers a click on every single ad that YouTube shows until it stops showing you more ads.

There is currently no negative feedback for YouTube ads. They are free to show you ads every single minute if some manager there thinks that this will increase monetization by 1%. And no, paying for YouTube Premium isn't going to work; Amazon Prime Video was this way (I paid for it, and got ad-free shows in return), but they are now introducing "limited ads" that you will need to pay $3 extra a month for.

The only reasonable negative feedback is to have too many clicks on ads, so the advertiser stops showing you them because the person paying for ads is not getting the desired clickthrough rate.

The advertising industry likes to make up scary terms like "ad fraud" for this, but that's ridiculous -- a human can totally click an ad link and then make a decision not to engage further with the product. I do it all the time. Having an extension make that decision on my behalf would be fantastic.

I think it is good to know that there is no tree shaking for class methods, even when public.

This is a valid consideration IMO.

That is unironically a better way to do it than anywhere I've worked that does microservices.

My experience with microservice shops is you have one macromonolith with 50 people working on it (which has all the problems of a monolith and none of the benefits), 5 actual decent microservices with a team or individual that properly maintains them, and 100 random utility micro"services" that are like 3 lines of code, used by exactly one other service, and you need 40 loc and a network call to interact with them.

I'll take everyone has their own service any day of the week. At least when I need to interface with 12 different things I can have 12 different people to roast for not properly documenting their API. And tbh literally the only positive I can come up with for microservices is the ability to neatly fire one into the sun and rewrite it from scratch.

Because you lose reputation and assets.

Enlightening you? Apologies for staying on topic!

The comment you replied to said this:

> Coziness is the biggest hurdle. As a programmer, I can make a really good salary at a tech giant.

I'm in no way implying that requiring a big tech salary is a _good_ thing (obviously it's not).. I'm simply agreeing with the original statement that it stifles startups.
Should be rather un-controversial, given that many UN organizations were/are publishing statements warning about possible war crimes (and other international crimes) commited by Israel, and Israel is certainly capable of commiting them.

Some Israeli-Palestinian organizations are also calling out against war crimes.

https://www.btselem.org/gaza_strip/20231019_one_crime_does_n...

When Israel is killing people by hundreds every day, and thretening millions to level their cities, while bombarding them and cutting them of from humanitarian aid, and basic living necessities, it's a very bad look for some moralizing companies to stand up against someone who just points out that this may be basically pretty bad, inhumane, even a war crime, no matter which side you like.
I'm still not understanding the thrust of your comments. But if I had to guess, you think that 1) the loan programs were a good idea, and 2) that I think the loan programs were a bad idea.

I agree with 1, but disagree with 2. The loan programs for scaling new massive tech are wonderful and hugely accelerate tech development, IMHO. My only possible complaint is that there are not more failed loans, as I have a bigger risk tolerance.
The F9/F5 two-step is why I still use Firefox on desktop. Does anything like that work on iOS?

I don't but I know a few people who do. From what I can tell the "toxicity" is holding people to a level of expectations. Blind is full of stores of people getting pipped, yet people I know who worked there -- who I know are excellent engineers, have good work life balance, and never seem to be worried or in fear of being piped.

I think amazon mostly has a bad rap because SV is full of people who are here to collect big paychecks but can't actually do what they were hired for. Sure, they might be able to do something but not something worth the big paychecks they are getting paid.

> So when Carlin say "I’ll bet if they had still been calling it 'shell shock,' some of those Vietnam veterans might have received the attention they needed.", I don't really think that's true.

I came here to say the same thing. The historical record does not support Carlin's claim that straightforward language would have resulted in better social support for traumatized veterans. WWI veterans were treated terribly. I guess the real test is to re-introduce "shell shock" into our vocabulary and see if there's a correlation in improved veteran support.
It's always charitable to assume that someone with whom you may disagree, did read the same thing as you, otherwise it might come across as suggesting your conclusion is the only one acceptable, which suggests a lack of respect for other people's views.

While it's true that he didn't explicitly say he supported Hamas, his suggestion that Israel's response constitutes a war crime, less than 1 week after Hamas' brutal slaughter of at least 1400 innocents, may be interpreted as insensitive and biased.
Disabling javascript generally works too. I actually browse default js disabled, and if it seems like a site isn't working, I enable JavaScript for that domain.
Oh did you mean purely for finding livestreams? I think that’s where the disconnect is. Yeah if you’re just looking for livestreams to watch it’s way different because YouTube has always been really exceptionally bad for that. Content creators bank on getting a video or short recommend where they mention their stream.

I do agree on the twitch raid system too. It’s especially useful for smaller communities that tend to support each other and have relatively similar content.

Glad to hear it worked out for you. My kids school went full on Pi and they were broken and discarded after 2 months because they are mostly not suitable for educational settings from a software and hardware perspective. The hardware is not robust or reliable enough and the software requires fixing by staff too often to be productive.

Instead they taught them python on windows.

Reminds me of my first "real" job, many many years ago.

I was working at a metal pipe retailer, helping them switching from one ERP/CRM to another. While moving the inventory between the systems we decided to also check the real inventory. It turned out that due to incorrectly using the previous system, there was quite a substantial shortage compared to the company's turnover. Anyway, it had to be reported somehow to the shareholders... suddenly the management "remembered" that the previous team lead from the storage department has just left a few weeks ago, everything is his fault, they put all responsibility on him (without pursuing any further actions).

Ahhh, I really don't like some thing.

Maybe I'm not wording it right then? Like I said in other posts, I copy paste SQL statements all the time. If I were to copy/paste that statement then all I'd get is a bunch of ones and that's useless to me. The SQL itself is data to me in the same way that when I view a lazy list comprehension, I view it (and SQL) as something that's just waiting to be run. Maybe not now, and maybe not in the current SQL, but there's a non-zero chance that I'll copy/paste it. So in that context, a bunch of ones is useless to me and IS data because the ones are literally the output of the SQL statement. Better to generalize my code writing process in a way so that I can copy/paste a "select *" or "select rownum" because those are more useful down the line.

Really think we all just code differently.

Style guides exist for good reason. Also a simple suggestion that people adhere to the style guide is often heard as harassment even when it's simply asking people to adhere to the style guide.

When about half the mass in orbit is Starlink, comprising more than half the mass launched by Falcon 9 and Falcon Heavy, and Starlink has about 2M subscribers, I am skeptical about the TAM for Starship. If Starship has a TAM, we would see it and be able to estimate it based on existing rockets' customers and how riding down the cost curve would change the TAM.

Space launch capacity has a long sales cycle. There should be customers for 10 launches per day lining up. If you believe a Mars colony is realistic, OK, it will take that kind of capacity to build it. But that, like Starlink, sounds like another SpaceX project without outside launch customers. I would applaud taking thousands of Elon's fans to Mars to build their paradise, but there are plenty of reasons to think that will not happen in time to be relevant to Starship.

Herman Wouk's The Winds of War / War and Remembrance books, published long ago, are a corrective to the "We took Omaha Beach, and then we won the war" American narrative. They were quite popular and made into a TV series, and they made every effort to show what people thought then, from different perspectives.

They also made it clear that it was the Soviet Union that ground down the Nazi war machine.

Today, neither wants to make it easier for Colombia to gain access to its former territory. The gap serves as a critical barrier to: 1. The drug trade; 2. People migrating to the north in hope of a better life; 3. Any adventurism on Colombia's part.

Ask HN: Software to Grade Websites on "Annoyingness?"
When posting links to HN and social media I sometimes get complaints about cookie pops-ups, e-mail subscription pop-ups, advertising pop-ups and other behaviors people find annoying.

I do look at everything manually but I know different people have different experiences, I can’t say I am never going to link to an annoying web site (wouldn’t it be nice if adding a cookie popup immediately caused a panic because “our analytics must be broken!”) but I do want to limit how frequently I post them and require some positives to balance out negatives. Also my RSS reader is showing me so much stuff I like now that I can afford to filter some out.

Is there any kind of software or service that takes a URL and returns an “annoyingness” score?
Why is it relevant whether one can put a finger on the difference? The claim was that people use their economic distance from meat production to protect themselves from the negative feelings that would be created if they had to do it themselves, especially in the manner of factory farming.

Anyway my theory for the distinction is 1) the scale of suffering is obviously far far greater than family-scale slaughter and 2) the way in which we do factory farming reflects poorly on us as a species.

If people had to see their livestock suffer, they would make a different calculation of how much meat to eat and how to handle that animal while it’s alive. As someone else mentioned, this isn’t some crazy avant garde hypothesis: this is exactly why mass meat producers don’t want people filming their operations.

The prior argument that “people always killed animals!” is irrelevant. They certainly did not kill animals the way we do today and again, this is evidenced in the belief systems that emerged during times where people couldn’t afford to be hundreds of miles removed from the production of their food.

One of the many places I see soft language hurt is in feedback. “Our project is late” and “xyzelement failed to prioritize well” might refer to the same event but one is more likely to “sting” me in a way that causes change.
