> The ethical thing is to halt the husbandry of farmed animals and let the bees die out naturally

What is it that makes the "natural order of things" better? Aside from our fantasies about not being animals, aren't humans part of the natural order, by definition? It seems like a deforested barren world would be more moral under this sort of reasoning?

Does my car stop working because its old? Strictly speaking no, there will be a cause of failure, in practice everything wears out, age has increased the chances of things wearing out, so after a certain point age becomes a 'good enough' reason.

I suppose if you want to be pedantic, a common failure mode isn't actually 'correct'. A heart attack isn't the cause of death, its oxygen starvation, so I'm not sure more 'correct' equals more useful.
> I stupidly put C++ on my CV the last time I was looking for a job and someone started asking me about Boost.

I used C++ as my main language for a few years and have used C++ more recently (although the last time I used it professionally was about 5 years ago now) and last year did a personal project to catch up on all the latest features (basically a project to upgrade my knowledge from C++11 to C++14 and C++17), although I've since given up on C++ since the latest additions are far too complex for me and I'm no longer confident that my code actually works how I want (I'm slowly trying to pick up Rust as a replacement).

My point, though, is that I consider my C++ skills to be above average, or at least, above passable, and yet I have never used Boost, have no intentions of ever using boost if I do use C++ (between C++17's standard library features and plenty of easy to use header only libraries, I just don't see the need for Boost for any projects I've ever used C++ on), so I wouldn't be able to answer any questions on Boost either.

This isn't that different from bad biological sensory input that causes a person to think they are stepping on the brake when they're actually stepping on the acceleration pedal. The main differences being that
1) human beings tend to be able to respond to a wider range of scenarios than software and attempt creative problem solving and
2) we have significantly more sensory inputs and they tend to be quite reliable.
If nothing else, there’s a lot less money available and that’s around the level where there are a lot of threshold effects — not “do I buy a big house or a small one?” but “can I pay my rent?”. That makes it harder on the athletes and fewer opportunities to be a coach/trainer, and they all pay less.

I believe Christmas does, falling near enough to midwinter celebrations.

Easter, however, is conceptually linked to Passover, since it commemorates Christ's death at Passover and subsequent resurrection [1].

Easter's actual date is highly variable and notoriously aggravating to compute, though [2]. For reasons I do not know, the church did not want to just say "the first Sunday following Passover."

> that dogs align themselves to earth's magnetic field when pooping.

Well actually that seems like relevant information for this topic, because if that is true it means that dogs can sense magnetic fields. And as we know RF waves are composed of both an electric and magnetic component.

So this guy might actually know something that the rest of us do not know. If dogs can sense magnetic fields, it means electromagnetic radiation could have an unknown impact on their sense of direction. Sounds important to me.

Here's another guy that seems to know what he is talking about.

Prof. Olle Johansson, Ph.D., Dept. of Neuroscience, Karolinska Institute, Sweden

Seems like someone you might want to listen to, especially since he has participated in several studies on this subject:

https://www.cellphonetaskforce.org/the-work-of-olle-johansso...

You can also find his talks on the subject on Youtube, which I suggest people watch. They are very easy to listen to, and provides a good introduction to these topics.

Then we have this guy:

Dr. Paul Héroux, Ph.D., Director, Occupational Health Program, McGill University; InvitroPlus Labs, Royal Victoria Hospital, McGill University, Canada

He was commissioned by the electrical power companies to actually invent the RF dosimeter in 1991, that many use now to gauge exposure levels.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1930308

I'd certainly want to know what he has to say. Let's look at some of the rest:

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/?term=H%C3%A9roux%20P%5B...

Several publications relating EMF exposure. I think we want to know what he has to say also.

So perhaps you should not have give up so easily, and continued to look a little further instead. We want to look for the people who have the expertise in this field, and listen to what they have to say.

To finish off, I'd like to know where are the scientists that have studied this subject as extensively as someone like Heroux or Johansson, and are willing to sign their names on a pledge of microwave safety for all of humanity. I haven't seen such a list.

"The 5G recommendation for global irradiation. Go ahead, we take responsibility for full irradiation." In fact there is no such recommendation, as both insurance companies and even the cellular manufacturers are increasingly distancing themselves from liability.

That's what I call a clue.

I talked to a doctor once who said Amsterdam does what you think is "over the line", they even supplied the drugs. It's probably cheaper than "cleaning up" after the druggies, and also for the police resources needed to prevent crimes. And she said some druggies even quit, because they lost the thrill: when it was illegal and they had to do crimes to get money to buy their next hit, it was thrilling, but when all they did was go to the injection site, get high, and then go home again, some of them realized "my life needs more meaning than this".

Also, since they're not busy burglarizing homes to get money to buy drugs, they could also be employed for tasks like street cleaning.

There are obviously many different flavors of vegans, each stopping at different points when it comes to what they consider animal suffering. There are vegans with pets, but they might not agree with the idea that all forms of keeping animals is considered suffering. Other vegans won't keep pets, I'm one of them, because I agree completely with the post you commented on and draw the same conclusion as you that it's incompatible with my beliefs.

There's a middle ground as well, exemplified by Gary Francione (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gary_L._Francione). He's an animal rights abolitionist, meaning that we should just improve the welfare of animals in the animal industry, but abolish it completely. Yet he keeps pets, by only taking in rescued animals from shelters. He argues that their lives are already ongoing, and we should make the best situation we can for them. But we shouldn't buy animals from breeders, because then we help perpetuate the situation.

I think it's a sympathetic position to take, so yes, it's possible to want to stop people from breeding pets while still caring for the ones that are already here.

> (how many people encounter significant censorship on twitter today?)

The point is not that you user are being censored, but that twitter "lies" to you about social dynamics with their obvious (yet hidden) biases.

Twitter promotes the extremes and hides the middle. If this is not enough they also apply a consistent political agenda (by protecting their main cash cow of liberal journalist) and lie about it.

Perfect example is what happened with the Convington kids and journalist calling for doxxing.

The prophet Mohammed in Islam is seen with more reverence than Jesus in Christianity, invoking his name is also very delicate in Islam (you are supposed to say a blessing anytime you do and avoid invoking it lightly, there's a lot of rules around it).

With these religious/cultural differences I can understand how Muslim take greater offence to people making fun of their most prominent prophet as opposed to Christians, but also you have to take into account that because of that, people usually are more provocative with their humour when it comes to Mohammed.

I can't remember having seen any sexually depraved depiction of Jesus in mainstream media whereas I can clearly remember many that depicted Mohammed.

IMO it's not as easy to make fun of Islam/Mohammed because people tend to go for the extreme in term of dark humour but also it's not perceived the same way by the religious communities.

Veganism is seen as a label, but it's actually not a binary trait, it's a spectrum at the very least. What I mean is that there are vegans who would never eat meat under any circumstances, ever. There are vegans who would eat eggs if they know that the chickens laying them are living healthy lives. There are vegans who would also eat meat under some circumstances, but ultimately these things matter very little in the grand scheme of things because, again, it's not black or white.

Most vegans are vegans because they are compassionate and caring people. They see cows as friends, not as a steak machine. Therefore, your argument is, honestly, irrelevant. It's simply a non-starter for most vegans, the same way as you would not eat a dead dog.

Windows has a lot more software than Mac and unlike Mac, software in Windows keeps working for years on (i personally use a lot of older software, largely because it is faster on modern machines). This means you have a TON of options, but at the same time Sturgeon's law enters in the picture so with the more options you have more crap. The other side of the coin is that you also have more quality options too.

Yes it is harder to find good software, but it is far from impossible. One way is to look for sites dedicated to software and then look for comments about those sites in Reddit, etc and ignore those that have bad comments. Another way is to ask in communities like Reddit's /r/software - people will try to steer you towards cheap/halfass solutions and ask you why would you want to pay $1 to do X instead of spending a few weeks jury rigging the free Y+Z+W+4+5 (which btw are open source, thus have god given quality status) to do mostly the same thing except a little more broken, but if you insist about what you want, you'll often find good software there (i have found some nice apps through the subreddit myself).

TBH it has been years since i used a Mac extensively, but i do not remember finding quality Mac software being any different than quality Windows software - i mostly relied on sites and communities too.
I always wonder by pitot sensors are so independently important to determining stalls. Why is it so hard to detect a malfunctioning pitot, and then more heavily weigh inertial or GPS velocity data? You could even use all of these in a filter, adjusting the weights based on confidence in the data. We could even call this filter a Kalman filter.
Extrapolating the future from the present is completely sensible. Today's society is not that unthinkable for somebody from the early 20th, or even 19th century: People work jobs in offices and factories; they complain that they're busy. Health, transportation and communication have improved. Poor people fight and die in wars that rich people start.

My prediction for the rest of this century is that all the large scale trends will continue. There will be no sharp discontinuity with the past. Renewable energy use will increase, and climate change will keep getting worse. More and more species will go extinct. Computers and batteries will keep improving at a decreasing rate. Robots will not take all the jobs. Poor people will continue dying for rich people's mistakes.

The author omitted that humans are the best animals at throwing.

Eg, http://www.bbc.com/future/story/20140225-human-vs-animal-who... .

As such, the headline is an incorrect generalization of converting "humans are good at long-distance running" into "long-distance running is the only sport ability that humans are better at than other animals."

No animal can throw a spear, or even a rock, more accurately than a human.

I also object to the hand-waving about dogs. Long distance sled dogs average 8 miles an hour over the 1,100-mile Iditarod race." For shorter distances, sled dogs may average 10 to 14 miles per hour during the course of a day of mushing" says https://animals.mom.me/how-fast-can-dogs-run-in-dog-sled-rac... .

The objection in the article is that they are "forced to by humans."

However, the comparison with wolves and hyenas refer to the typical distance. The relevant comparison should therefore be to typical human travel distances, which is also in the 10-20km range for hunter-gather humans, as I recall.

Humans in a marathon are doing so because they want to. Thus, the third difference is that humans organize sporting events, which is not something that other animals do.
But that wasn't the question. The question was "How much money do you want from us before we destroy your business?"

For one, there are so many CAs that could potentially cross-sign, it's unlikely none will "defect" and take the opportunity to earn some money, but also, if none had cross-signed, they simply would have started later with their own root-cert, destroying the business anyway, so that's another reason to earn some money while you can.

From Wikipedia: "Watson coined the word "vegan" to stand for "non-dairy vegetarians" who also ate no eggs."

You shouldn't leave out the egg part.

But yes, terms change. I've read early Vegan Society texts where they talk about "fruitarians" as those vegetarians that only eat the fruits produced by animals, i.e. milk, egg, honey. Today a fruitarian is a vegetarian that only eats fruits (and sometimes nuts and seeds) that you can pick without killing the plant.

There are also different opinions on the term vegetarian. In Sweden, it commonly includes milk and egg, and if you order a vegetarian pizza you get cheese from cow milk. But the Swedish National Food Agency, and other agencies like the Consumer Agency, define a product marked "vegetarian" as being strictly vegetable based. The last couple of years, soy hot dog manufacturers have been forced to add "lacto vegetarian" or "ovo vegetarian" to their packages.

So it's nothing strange to have different points of view of what exactly is denoted by the terms vegetarian and vegan.

> Step 2: Public bathrooms are closed due to the drug problem found in step 1

> Step 3: Now everyone begins shitting in the street because public bathrooms are no longer available. And those people shooting up in the bathrooms are also shooting up on the street.

I am having difficulties following. How did you get from step 2 to step 3? Since when does lack of available public bathrooms lead to public defecation? Is this really a thing somewhere? I cannot wrap my mind around it. Are people really this incapable of controlling themselves? Do they just let it go wherever they are when they get the urge? Horrible. This is not really the case in the country where I am, so "everyone begins shitting in the street" certainly depends on where you are, what the culture is, and so on. It sounds really alien to me. We already do not have available public bathrooms in many areas, but public defecation is certainly not a thing. People are taught to hold it back in until they get to a bathroom...

Edit: we also have fecal collecting bag dispensers, which is basically a bin (+ bags) specifically for collecting feces, usually dog. They are emptied on a daily basis. Take a fecal collection bag, put your feces inside the bag, throw it away into the bin specifically designed for collecting feces. No bathroom required, and no feces on the streets!

I don't have links to hand but everything I've seen shows real dropoffs in users as you increase the time. Once you're looking at low numbers of seconds you're looking at significant numbers of users simply abandoning the site. Half a second extra is not insignificant, and the user experience changes a lot between things that feel instant and things that have a noticeable wait.
