This exactly. Millions of people are dying and this post as well as various politicians are in the midst of the children's argument "He started it!"

> I'm in a big American city, and I remember that until the online kids and snarky liberals started moralizing about mask protocol, there wasn't as much resistance to wearing masks among right-wing crazies.

We're living in very different worlds I guess.

> Math is easier to understand with symbols if you've been trained in what all the symbols and syntax means, and virtually impossible to understand if you haven't.

I haven't and it continues to be a massive source of shame. Maybe today's the day I do something about it.

> Also, if you can’t deal with the “pain” of buying a new car every few years you must find a lot of things really painful.

Buying cars sucks and is entirely why Carvana and Carmax exist.

> For some age groups (Table 4), the vaccinated are more likely to be infected than the unvaccinated.

This is some great lying with statistics. The age ranges you're referencing are groups in which the unvaccinated group is much smaller, insanely small comparatively. Of course a group with almost no people are going to show a reduced rate. You'd find a similar ratio if I took 50k people and split them by whether their name was Steve and then measured the likelihood that either group got covid. The Steve group is definitely going to have a lower rate.

> I want to let someone else take the big up-front depreciation hit that comes with that intoxicating new car smell.

It's interesting how people talk about "depreciation" of an item that pretty much never, if ever, increases in value.

Even HN users don't actually RTFA

I don't think this will happen, I don't even think Rust will become 1/10th the frontend language you're predicting it will.

What were the size improvements?

I feel like the purpose of your posts is more about bemoaning infrastructure tools and less about discussing the original post's product. I'm not really sure it's productive. I definitely do not find it productive.

You and the person you're responding to are agreeing that you should use the right tool for the job, and there are plenty of jobs that Rails isn't right for.

I'll bite.

What infrastructure management tool do _you_ prefer then?

Websites have always moderated incoming content.

"Failed hopelessly" seems like clickbait in that the ultimate resolution was "Real life happened and I'll finish it later".

Otherwise a really good read.

> The entire talking point of FSD is that it's supposed to be better than human drivers. This ain't it.

the entire point of a beta is that it's supposed to be production grade software?

Do you believe you should turn your signal on before swerving to avoid a crash?

> No, lmilcin didn't suggest that.

They posted this:

> Yes, killing pedestrians is not perfect.

In a thread about a video in which an autonomous vehicle did not kill any pedestrians.

> but it does make things harder.

Unknowingly doing bad things harder, yes.

> An overweight vegetarian has lower environmental impact that an average weight meat eater.

Gallup has the US at 5% vegetarian. Math doesn't add up.

> I'm suggesting exactly what I said. Would you like me to repeat it?

You're being aggressive and condescending for no reason. To quote you, "I thought HN was better than this."

> When beef has the 30x the environmental impact of plant based food per calorie, it would be hard to make the statement that fat people are automatically to blame for climate change.

This isn't what anybody suggested. As obesity rises, people eat more, creating the food to sustain those people causes a greater environmental impact. If more people drive cars, we need more gas, right?

> The whole argument is just completely ignorant on its face.

You're angry for no reason.

> Dispute what I said instead of making glib replies.

Done.

> Do you think every calorie has the same environmental impact? No? Because OF COURSE NOT. So what are you even disagreeing with?

More net calories is more net carbon. Basic math, friend.

From my previous HN post:

> Message boards are message boards. You can't take them seriously, including this one.

If the food obese people are eating has a large environmental impact, obesity definitely contributes.

Full priced non-IAP games do not make as much as F2P, corporate overlords demand games make up the difference somehow.

I think this post is pure grandstanding. Giving good feedback is hard, and almost no one knows how to do it. Now, combine that with someone that has no skin in the game and is sometimes posting in-bad-faith, you're just creating a sea of garbage to wade through. To then say "yeah but I'd do it because _maybe_ I'd get something useful" is silly. No you wouldn't. You'd create a legitimized channel (Slack, Discord, email list) for people that are _actually interested_ and then talk to them directly. Posts like this are mostly just to put content in front of eyes that _would_ join such a legitimized channel.

Message boards are message boards. You can't take them seriously, including this one.

Criticism given by those that do not align with the core goals/userbase of a project is not constructive. Giving criticism on something you don't intend to/wouldn't use is just complaining.

> This is Season 1 of my farm and we literally are turning customers away, despite our meat being ~2x more expensive than grocery store meat.

Congrats!

> Regardless of what highly-processed stuff large agribusinesses can or will produce, there will always be a great market for humanely-raised, carefully processed animal protein.

Yep!

> If anything, it's the Tyson and Smithfield Foods of the world that should be worried. Somehow, I don't think any of us are.

Great!

This entire post didn't really negate mine though. Your post ignored huge percentages of (most of?) the categories of meat and food that would/could be replaced by lab grown food. It's like saying "My mercedes is wondeful, nobody would ever want an _electric car!_." There will always be a place for luxury items. People that eat at McDonald's aren't getting luxury items. Low wage workers that eat 4 dollar per pound chicken from Safeway aren't eating luxury items. If lab grown food can (more) ethically service lower income people with a reduced environmental impact, we should go all-in on that advancement. Your farm can and should exist as a commodity for those that want to pay for it.

> Anybody claiming that highly-processed things like this will have anything close to the same health impact and taste as, say, pasture-raised chickens (like I raise on my farm, https://mulligan.farm)

This reads like a person that is afraid technical advancement will make them obsolete. Your bias is probably too strong to make clear and meaningful arguments.

Serious: what did anyone involved think would happen?

Doesn't really seem like this is correct.

> (a) An individual with a behavioral health impairment who is admitted to a psychiatric emergency service under a crisis intervention protocol under this subchapter shall have a final disposition within a maximum of seventy-two (72) hours or be released from custody.

> (b) If the individual with a behavioral health impairment cannot be stabilized within seventy-two (72) hours of entering into a crisis intervention protocol, a participating partner may institute commitment proceedings as authorized under § 20-47-201 et seq.

> (c) An individual who has been released from custody and has chosen to stay at a crisis stabilization unit voluntarily under § 20-47-804(c) is not bound by the seventy-two-hour maximum time of detention under this section.

> (d) As part of the discharge process after the seventy-two-hour hold has expired and the individual is being released from custody, and subject to the consent of the individual no longer in custody, a crisis stabilization unit may provide the individual with a follow-up treatment plan and a request that the individual utilize the treatment plan, including subsequent appointments with a mental health professional.

Sounds like you're talking about (b), but I wouldn't really assume we're talking about children (as in America they don't really have rights).

A serious intent to harm/kill others.
