> But there's a lot of things that say butter that don't contain "Milk". In the US, packaging is guaranteed to have an accurate "contains" section.

The box of Unsalted Butter already says "Milk" in the ingredients list. It does not need a second warning that says "Contains Milk". The article seem to be confusing the two - they are two different "labels" on the same packaging.

Is there a human alive that would read the ingredients list and think to themselves, "Hmm, it says Milk is an ingredient, but I don't see a 'Contains Milk' warning, so it probably doesn't contain milk!"?

That is the bureaucratic nonsense people are sick and tired of.
I have worked in ruby since forever, but I was reading a Clojure book recently and it looks like a straight upgrade over ruby, to the point I was shocked (many similarities but with more solid ground)

Steve Klabnik has a post, How Bluesky Works, that talks about what Bluesky is. Yes, right now a variety of the layers of At Protocol are run by BlueSky alone. But the data can retain its integrity even if they fail, the network & data is by design open & transparent to all & transferable, and it's all based on protocols. https://steveklabnik.com/writing/how-does-bluesky-work

This hypothesis that everyone else has been rug pulled & so BlueSky will too defies a ton of very hard careful work that Jay began when she very specifically worked to make sure BlueSky could be independent, to make it based on protocols.

This would be an incredible way to stealth-release Episode 3, but I understand at this point it would be impossible for it to be not a disappointment, so I imagine nobody wants to risk trying to make it.

Oh wow, that's counterintuitive until you remember that snow basically works like a sponge. So as long as it starts out cold enough and you're quick enough, the snow can soak up water before it melts and gets you wet all over again.

I've been writing C code a lot more like scripting after familiarizing with how easy it is to use gdb compared to jumping through hoops say in vscode to setup a new build target for every new C file I want to mess with.

Just write `test_x.c`, `gcc -o test_x test_x.c -g`, and `gdb --args ./test_x --blah --blah` allows for much faster iteration on things.

PLUS the gdb commands end up far easier and more powerful to probe things than mess with the GUI most of the time.
nice, thanks for the easter egg

Shouldn't the others carry a label "does not contain milk" rather than putting "contains milk" on regular milk?

I recently drove a 2014 Nissan Leaf. Not exactly a performance oriented EV, and the acceleration it's capable of is 'nice'. Not crazy, but was unexpectedly good given it's 10 years old and only trying to be an EV rather than a "hey look I'm an EV!!!".

Steel uses so much carbon that it’s been a target for using hydrogen as a reducing agent. There are a couple ironworks that have already started converting.

Coal has peaked globally, there's no global expansion, 190+ countries are winding back coal save for both India and China which are still expanding at a declining rate and expected to peak and decline in the mid term.

WRT China, they can't over produce renewable energy and be the largest global supplier of green energy without coal .. at least not yet.
It actually lists milk as an ingredient. So even if you are have doubts if its milkless butter, the ingredient list can clarify it.

Pandas sat alone in the Python ecosphere for a long time. Lack of competition is generally not a good thing. I'm thrilled to have Polars around to innovate on the API end (and push Pandas to be better).

The antidote to the "strict rules mean common sense can't be used" is... to use common sense: In this instance to ignore the recall instructions, and don't throw away the butter.

Grandparent poster is just throwing all the hypotheticals for the remote chance of "But what if, and if, and if, and if...".
I dunno, I can see logic to that.

Today we apply petroleum jelly (Vaseline, Neosporin, etc.) over skin to help it heal, but butter is basically going to do the same thing of keeping in moisture.
I don't know man?

The vote was like 50.1 to 48.2 at latest (accurate) count. Which is terrible news to everyone. Because, unless my math is wrong, that means there were more people who were so unmoved by either party that they couldn't be arsed to go out and vote, than there were voters for either party.

And all those people are pissed off.

Personally, I think stuff like comments on HN and Twitter are gonna be a good pressure valve over the next few years. Maybe even some Onion, Saturday Night Live and Daily Show for those masses. Because if those people ever get what they perceive to be a reason? I mean, they've already shown fairly consistently that they're no longer interested in the whole non-violent democratic norm of voting thing. And if a guy like Trump can't even bring them out, that means they're not at all interested in anything either side is selling.

After looking at those numbers, I guess I just wouldn't be so sure that the people making these comments are liberals. Or even independents for that matter. Independents on the sidelines are, at least, reasonable and vote. What we have boiling outside the stadium, so to speak, is something different entirely. And if they'll satisfy themselves yelling insults at the people inside the stadium then we should all probably let them. Don't make the mistake of thinking it's a bad thing.

If a lion starts chewing on your football, let it have the football. Don't be foolish. Just back away and go get another ball to continue your game with the opposing team.

It is useful, thanks.
I never look at "Ingredients". I look at "Contains". That's the important section for anyone with allergies.

You clearly don't have a deadly food allergy. "Contains" is highly regulated ("Ingredients" is not), and everyone with a food allergy trusts "Contains". This isn't about this one particular situation, which admittedly is obvious. It's about maintaining the trust of the "Contains" section.

Who is "sick and tired of" allergy labels being too strict? Is this really something people get up in arms about?

Article mainly talks about stopping coal, when the goal should be increased generation of power.

China does it well - they are building out nuclear, coal, and carpeting entire rooftops with solar and mountain ridges with wind turbines.
Fascinating! Thank you.
I guess people who bought it and can't use it could exchange it, and you have to throw that out because it lost the chain of cold, but the ones in the shelves? Simply putting a [CONTAINS MILK] sticker on each package should be less wasteful, but the ways of retail might have mysteries I ignore.
Depends on where you lived. In some places they enforced longer lock downs and required vaccines to eat in public and this went on for years. Texas was different compared to Minnesota for example. Canada was locked down for a long time.. New Zealand too.

Congrats on the house.
After handling snow I've noticed this too. My hands are often cold by default, but if I handle snow it's as if the coldness crosses some threshold and your body says, OK, that's over the line! We're sending help!
Of course I don't know your situation, but most lactose intolerance is not an allergy, it's an inability to produce lactase, so the lactose gets digested by excited microorganisms instead of processed by your body. This often causes discomfort, as the microorganisms don't care if things go smoothly.
But not really. I only ever want to see people I follow in my feed. And I can follow people from wherever, not just my instance. So the decision of what instance I chose was inconsequential.

another +1 from me -- my job, with some exceptions, is literally "plop this guy into an unfamiliar project and implement some user need be it a bugfix, feature, or (silently) a refactor.

agnostic programming flueny/software practices, including being comfortable debugging unfamiliar things or navigating uncharted waters without many domain experts to guide me, is the number one skill required in my role.

bonus points if i end up becoming an active maintainer to the project, or someone who can help other devs w it, the more times i dip into it.

I realize there are indeed strictly necessary cookies for site functionality. Sites need to store state information, login data, information about what's in your cart, etc. I should be able to make that choice on a site by site basis - to decide if my relationship with a website is deep enough to be worthy of allowing it to store data on my computer beyond the contents of the page itself. I know whether I'm going to be logging into a site or not. I know whether I feel like making yet another user account or not. I know whether I want to actually consider buying something or not. And if I don't know for sure, I should have the option to allow cookies, and then to quickly revert that decision. And user interfaces can be built within the browser to make this level of control more accessible and understandable to the average person without being obtrusive or overly complex.

In my opinion, the web needs to be less reliant on cookies and state data, and websites should be adaptable to situations where they cannot store or access it. Websites can easily provide UI feedback for this issue. For instance, a store website unable to save a cookie can place a banner at the top saying something like "please enable cookies for this website in order to use the shopping cart." And then it's up to browser vendors to provide a simple, consistent, intuitive user interface for enabling cookies - such a UI should minimize the amount of instructional info a site's banner will need to contain in the first place.

The web really needs to be built around opting into site functionality on a site by site basis. It's been the opposite of this for a long time now and we've ended up where we are today... There are many reasons site operators will hate this, from legitimate concerns about usability or accessiblity, to business concerns about users not wanting to take the minimum amount of time to change a setting to add items to a cart resulting in reduced sales, or even malicious concerns about not being able to track users under a magnifying glass. As pissed off as these site owners will be, it's a change browser vendors can make without needing their permission the same way Apple added app-tracking-transparency controls much to the chagrin of companies like Facebook.

And yes, users will find one reason or another to complain about this, despite the fact that it will be optional. "It's like Vista's UAC prompts all over again!" "I shouldn't have to do extra work to add stuff to my cart!" etc. That's great that they don't care about being tracked and if they want to be the cattle of data mining companies that's fine. But there are plenty of people who, given the choice, will prefer the alternative, and over time sites will adapt. If sites purposefully punish people for not enabling cookies, and websites are interested in pissing off thier users, well there's always the option to close that site and use another... in any case I'd rather deal with that kind of fight then the situation we have now.
Unfortunately the US is undergoing a collapse of willpower akin to the breakdown that lead to the (not so unfortunate) breakdown of the USSR.

The idea that the cold ear was won may have been premature. And Russia and Trump and Gabbard are here to speed us along towards that, to help make sure there is no dignity left standing in the end.

We had to stop talking to them about the possibility of buying an EV because they kept bringing up irrational arguments like this one.

One of our existing cars doesn't even have a towbar. The horror!

The irrational hatred / fear is real.
There are two types of coal, metallurgical and thermal.

Energy for steel production can come from coal, but doesn't need to, coal bound with iron to make steel is a different reaction to burning coal for energy.

"Green steel" (as odd as that sounds) is an active area of research ATM, promising but there's a looong way to go to reduce the emissions from a billion+ tonnes of steel per annum (and concrete production and other resource processing).
If I had my way, food terms that have hundreds or thousands of years of history behind them would not be allowed to be used for labeling completely unrelated things. That includes fake milks, fake eggs and fake "butters"
Follow artist socials, they will promote themselves at gigs. Search for your town name + edm genre on soundcloud, that may tell you the names of regular festivals,events and club nights from the set names. Follow said venue's socials, or regularly check their website for upcoming events.

Figure out who your local promoters are, & follow their socials also.

Go to a youth focused cafe or skate park, look at what event posters are being posted on the walls? Unsure if the kiddies still post bills for small events, honestly everything is on social media these days, and is where you should start once you've identified some names.

In my city, facebook is the most reliable way to discover events - we have very active promoters in the main '$city $genre scene' public fb groups.

Kotaku:

> In a new two-hour documentary from Valve, current and former members of the company talk openly about the creation of Half-Life 2 as well as finally spilling the beans on what happened to Episode 3, and even showing gameplay of early prototypes of the canceled game.

The two hour documentary was just uploaded like an hour ago, so presumably nobody has watched it completely yet.
Many other countries have that. It’s like not giving you admin credentials before you contract start. But there’s no credential, the admin power comes from talking. And as a manager of managers, they has to restrain themselfes.

> We know the government has conspired against Americans to prohibit 'misinformation' on social media

That "conspiracy" was the US government asking media platforms not to share covid misinformation. The "shock" of it was literally just the gov sending out "Hey, could you please limit this?". Not a court order, not a "we'll take you down if you don't" just a "Hey, please take this down". Something that every gov admin has done (and many non-US govs do).

> when the censorship regime considers Jones public enemy #1

Jones is public enemy #1 according to jones. He's wildly irreverent in both left and rightwing media.

> I'm not up to date on all the facts, but Jones alleges foul play, that he was found in default because they asked him to produce non-existent items.

Hey, before you take Jones' word for why he was defaulted, perhaps actually get up to date on the facts. Perhaps, look into them not from what Jones says but read the facts for yourself.

I have to point out that you are rushing to defend someone without actually knowing why they are in the mess they are in.

> so it's unclear what actually transpired for Jones to be found in default.

No, it's not. There are actually public records and court docs for why he was defaulted. It's not a "left right" thing.

It's only unclear because apparently your only source for what transpired is Jones himself.

You can see for yourself the kind of garbage Free speech systems was trying to pull in the depositions [1]. Mind you, this is not the first or only deposition with a corporate representative. They were given a list of topics to prepare for and they did the deposition multiple times because the Court had to instruct them, multiple times "Prepare for these topics and questions, this is what due diligence looks like".

The answers in the video are literally "Who did you ask about this" nobody. "What did you do to prepare for this" nothing. "Did you know I was going to ask this" yes.

That sort of "I'm not playing your game" action from Jones and co is exactly why they got defaulted.

> I don't know the venue off-hand, but if it was in CT, then the judges and jury would be 100% partisan.

Jones was defaulted in both CT and TX. Two different cases, two different judges, two different juries. But he played exactly the same games and lost the same way.

> Judges and juries in Texas or Florida would likely result in a much different outcome.

Found guilty in Texas. Again, maybe familiarize yourself with what he did before defending him.
