Note that this is only true for modern agricultural practices. The norm for much of human history was to graze cows and sheep on grass, which humans can't consume at all, and which has evolved in concert with grazing animals. Pigs would often be fed on leftovers and also plenty of non-edible foodstuffs. Chicken were more of an exception, but then again their eggs were eaten much more often than sacrificing the chicken itself.

There is nothing preventing us from going back to more traditional agricultural practices in this area, just as we need to do for most crop harvests to avoid depleting the soils everywhere. Of course, this will require meat to become more expensive, seasonal, and a less common food overall. But there is no reason a 0-emission world would require the whole humam population to be vegan.

This is basically the position of Plutarch on the matter of eating meat: http://www.animal-rights-library.com/texts-c/plutarch01.htm ... humans have the option to choose differently, carnivores cannot.

In a sense, exercising the option makes us "more human" (or less animal) than defaulting to a meat diet.
Most people I've talked to want farm animals to be treated "well", and whatever that word means in their heads, we all agree that it's some standard higher than industrial scale factory farming.

The problem is that meat and dairy from humanely treated free-range animals is generally more expensive, and most people aren't willing to pay extra or cut down on their meat consumption.

And so it goes.
Agreed and why when I do purchase I only purchase physical. The digital downloads of games I have are either games that were so hilariously cheap on sale my moral compass didn’t matter (eg marked down to sub $5) or the free downloads I get from various promotions like the epic store. I don’t pirate video games but I don’t have any qualms with someone who does given the gross anti consumer practices the industry has been getting away with for ages

Unfortunately consumers don’t seem to agree and have no problem shelling out billions of dollars for these things. The current console generation is clearly pushing hard to shift things entirely to digital; it is actually becoming difficult to purchase physical copies of games. The recent yakuza game didn’t get a physical release in the USA and I had to import a copy from play-Asia. It works fine on my us ps5 but they were clear as it’s a region 3 release any future patches/dlc/psn support may not work correctly unless I create a region 3 psn account specifically for that game. Quite a headache. Although funny enough the game itself was $10 cheaper so even with tax and shipping it worked out to be the same as if I had bought it on psn.
I always appreciate Armin's posts.

I think the key point is that the FSL is necessary when profit is required. The GPL is a philosophy of social distribution more than a way to build a capitalist enterprise. Using GPL software ensures that software stays socially distributed instead of privately; but that can lead to issues for private profit.

> an orchestra conductor doesn't need to play [...] any instrument! in order to make music

Ok, this is clearly a side-topic AND at the risk of being pedantic: Is this actually true?

Like, I can see how theoretically one could learn to sight-read music well enough to be able to direct an orchestra of individual musicians, then do enough ear-training to identify enough notes to keep tabs on everyone (especially if you're conducting a high school or (god help you :) ) middle school orchestra), etc, etc.

But does anyone actually do that? Has anyone ever done that?

"I'm going to learn how to conduct an orchestra without learning any instruments" kinda feels like "I'm going to become a software engineer using an LLM instead of learning any foundations)"

(To be clear - the LLM path might be viable in the future, possibly the near future, but at least today it's not quite there. My apologies in advance if my analogy doesn't work in the future :) )
You are joking, but death is not really a moral obstacle here:

The artist pays the bills by selling the (commercial) rights to their work. Those rights will be more valuable, if they last longer. That calculation is independent of the vagaries of the artist's longevity. (And in fact, it might make more sense to give rights a flat x years since creation, instead of tying it to whether the artist eats her vegetables and exercises.)
And westerners throw away an obscene amount of edible food on a daily basis. I don’t see how being more compassionate and opting out of participating in animal suffering will make people who don’t have enough to eat have more to eat.
I agree. Evolutionary speaking, animals that develop different behaviors based on 'clean' versus 'unclean' would have a leg-up against the competition. Ants, to give a quick example, throw their dead out with the rest of the garbage.[1] (Which can lead to a funny experiment to have them carry out living members as well - "I'm not dead yet!"[2])

You don't have to understand why you are doing something - or even that you are doing it at all - as long as it works and gives you a benefit, however small. Without proper understanding you will also have false positives, but it's better to be assume there is danger than to assume there isn't any. False positives outweigh false negatives. (To a certain level, of course, too much of it and paranoia becomes harmful again.)

I do wonder where this ends. I don’t think it will be dirt cheap energy.

Jevon’s paradox will presumably generate (or scale up) massive energy-consuming use cases. Solar (and other renewables) would retain whatever cost advantage they have, but huge demand might keep non-renewable sources around for longer than we’d otherwise think.

Meanwhile ultra-cheap energy might reduce the cost of current activities, but debottlenecking always just reveals the next bottleneck.

Speaking from experience, it is not.

My school day was from 8AM to 4PM, lunch at 1, post-lunch recess at 1:30. Recesses lasted 30 minutes, with usually 4 per day.

Years of having approximately 2 hours of alone-with-my-thoughts time (as a child to preteen, not an adult), every weekday. Not fun, and to this day I don't feel like it has given me any mental benefit.
To me, this sounds like a good old Conway's law. The EV fundamentally changes the architecture of the car: what it's made of, what's the role of each component is and how these are interlinked. In particular, there's a shift from mechanical coponents to software components. This would imply, that the structure of the organization designing the car should also change in fundamental ways. But in absence of an enterprise architect (as in "a person responsible for the architecture of the entire enterprise"), it can be tricky to synchronize organizational change with engineering change due to separation of responsibilities. Also, interaction of physical components is rather straightforward to determine (separate teams for the battery and motors is obvious) whereas software components are intangible.
I wonder why this manual process can’t be automated?
Not caring about animals leads to not caring about nature in general and that is leading towards us destroying earth ecosystem and making our planet not be able to sustain human civilization.

It's sometimes "free" in the "as in beer" sense - in certain places, when the sun is shining and/or the wind is blowing enough, so much electricity is produced that it's too much for the grid to handle, so the price drops to zero (or even negative) because the producers are desperate for a place to offload the over-capacity to (and thus neither damage any equipment, nor have to pay the cost of shutting down and later restarting any more power plants than necessary).

My thought was AI, but I believe that there is to much room for AI to misunderstand the communication (which happens via instant messaging).

However, a hybrid approach could perhaps be the way to go: I.e. monitor everyone’s chats and then scrape what looks like pricing info, which a human then translates into prices.

Is it realistic to expect this to be fully automated anyway?
But if you eat animals, then they first eat the plants, much more than you do, and then you eat the animals. Veganism doesn't "put animal life on a pedestal", it just uses fewer resources.
This sounds like sensible advice. But there are a few problems with making software purely from ready-made building blocks. Here are two of them:

1) Much more often than not, the ready-made building blocks are crap. Your software will reflect that crappiness, and your life will consist not of writing software, but of maintaining and massaging crap.

2) Even if your ready-made building blocks are high-quality, they limit what kind of software you can write. Ideally, you imagine what you want your software to do, and then you write software to do it. You create the building blocks in that process. If you are only using ready-made building blocks, there is a lot of great software you just cannot write. And I think we all see that, because there isn't much great software around.

These problems might not be a concern for you. If you write software that is pretty much just more of the same, 2) does not apply to you. And while 1) is still problematic, it will be just manageable because you use these building blocks mostly on their happy path.

But I have bad news for you. This kind of software will soon be written not by you, but by an AI.

None of this is relevant to what you originally said or what I asked, and at this point I think you know that.

But why try so hard to steer this wildly far from the original topic? Initially I presumed malice, but at this point I'm guessing you don't get to have these kinds of conversations a lot and are just vomiting anything that comes to your mind.

If you want to continue the discussion, directly answer the following question:

What justification is there for using governmental authority to force Apple to make iMessage interoperable with any/every other chat service?

You wanted to play the Devil's advocate, right? So do it. Or don't, but the above was the topic.

The topic was not, "People ought to be allowed to make a separate messaging protocol if they want to." Of course that's obviously fine, by the way, nobody suggested it wasn't, and in fact that's exactly what RCS is purporting to be. Or pick any of a dozen other protocols, the concept is the least controversial possible position on the topic to take. Why are you so intent on talking about what is the single most unoriginal and boring aspect of this entire debate (because everybody agrees with what you're saying)?

You're pretending to be the USPS to get sales. I know if I bought things from your website, I would complain to the bank and ask for a refund since it is essentially counterfeit - even though you have a tiny disclaimer stating no affiliation at the bottom.

It's actually quite likely one of your customers complained to their bank, and the bank let Stripe know about it through the dispute mechanism for refunds.

So it makes sense that Stripe has said you're breaking their terms of service.

Also just fyi, Hacker news isn't a place to complain about your frozen account. You wont really get any sympathy here, especially as a new account that has just come here to complain.

Remember the scene in the first avatar movie where Jake is learning how to be like the Na'vi and he gives a solemn speech to the animal as he kills it, thanking it for its sacrifice and showing it respect?

I wonder, if we took indigenous perspectives for animal life, would it be more acceptable to take the life of animals for consumption? Minimize suffering, use the whole animal, don't overconsume so that the species can sustainably live on, let them live life more free range, not in prisons, etc. Or would it still be just as bad because the animal still can suffer? Indigenous thinking is something that is being promoted by certain sustainability movements, and I wonder if it applies here and would make animal consumption more ethical, or would it just be whitewashing?
Not ignored! It's precisely because software engineering discards the very parts of programming that are closest to real engineering that this term came to describe it. "Don't bother learning the fundamentals, but focus on bureaucratic ritual instead" is a message that requires excellent marketing.

Having checked off most of the list, I would agree the Game Boy emulator is far easier than the OS.

I guess with the emulator it depends how much you want to do. You'd be foolish to write a console emulator and not import someone else's CPU code. When I wrote a Game Gear emulator 26 years ago I used off-the-shelf CPU code and just mapped all the in/out and did the graphics bits. Took me and a friend a single evening to get it happily playing games.

And OS is harder. Well, it was last time I wrote one, again about 26 or 27 years ago. Getting something to boot at all was tricky. I used this book as my main source of inspiration:

Meat, especially beef, is an utterly inefficient way to produce food.

People die from hunger not because the world is not producing enough food, and even not because the world is not trying to feed people in distress. It happens mostly because local politicians or warlords tend to steal or grab the humanitarian aid, or straight out not let it in, in order to preserve their power structures, and themselves on top. They don't mind killing some compatriots for that, with guns, or with hunger, no matter.
