Being a culturally significant figure in black politics isn't a good reason to keep someone who's attempting to incite mass murder against a minority religious group on a forum like Facebook. You mention the picture of him standing next to Obama: that's actually a fairly famous photo. Obama explicitly rejected and denounced Farrakhan [1] when he ran for president, and in an ironic turn of events (considering the nascent alt-right's smear of Obama as being supposedly-Muslim) Farrakhan later accused Obama of being "the first Jewish president" who was "selected before he was elected ... [by] rich, powerful members of the Jewish community." [2]

Silencing Farrakhan in general on Facebook is a consequence of silencing his particularly horrifying views about Jews and removing access to the platform he uses to spread them. This isn't because he's a culturally significant black man, it's because he's an anti-Semite. The others de-platformed along with him are not fellow black leaders, they are racists and conspiracy theorists who are similarly dangerous and have similarly used these platforms to spread hatred to millions of followers.

> The original post I was replying to didn't specifically mention antisemitism, it said "racism" is justification for banning someone.

While on the one hand you're claiming to only refer to the hypothetical question of a black leader who is anti-white, you also specifically defend Farrakhan's presence on social media, and question whether Facebook should be able to ban specifically him for his anti-Semitism; for example:

> I don’t know how old you are, but I think you’re being ignorant about the full spectrum of what Farrakhan represents. He co-organized the Million Man March, which was a defining event in the 1990s, much like the Ferguson shooting is today . . . Maybe the anti-semitism alone warrants a ban. Maybe any one of his extreme view warrants a ban. But it’s very problematic for Facebook, a company with almost no black leadership, to be making that call.

If we were talking about a hypothetical black leader who was anti-white (and whether you can call that racism is, IMO, up for debate), and who was not virulently anti-Semitic, I would definitely agree that's a harder question to answer; I'd probably be against banning someone like that, for reasons that are long and complicated and that you'd probably agree with. That isn't what happened here, though, and it's not who we've been talking about: we've been talking about Farrakhan, who's in both my opinion and Obama's opinion fairly indefensible.

Not reliable at all. It is reliable for freshness, but that only matters for some things like poached eggs.
This essentially gives the government much tighter control of a process that, while decent, has some loose ends in it. For instance, document forging is something that is less effective than it used to be given digital chips and facial recognition.

It is of course legitimate for a democracy to check things like which plants are coming across the border and to deny access or apprehend war criminals and the like. However, the USG does not have a current record of using its powers for good recently. Example: the muslim ban. Anyone who managed to get around that is a hero even if it was illegal because it's an immoral policy.

Tighter control means tighter control of dissent. Want to find that soldier with those leaked documents? Want to locate that journalist with news of unseemly interventions in central America? Want to find those people of the wrong race or religion that are the convenient scapegoat of the moment? Sure, let's make border control more precise. Most people are actually decent and should have default global freedom to move and work by birthright. US border control is about denying people entry, but the main effect is denying ordinary people with a minor effect of deterring crime.

How to Survive an Atomic Bomb
If you are homeless, a much bigger problem is that raw eggs are fragile, easily broken and make a mess when broken. Plus most homeless people have no means to cook.

If you are homeless but living in a vehicle and have some means to cook, there are ways around such issues. For example, you can store cold items in a cooler, no refrigerator required.

When I was homeless and sleeping in a tent, we sometimes kept perishables for short periods by leaving them outside the tent overnight in cold weather or keeping them in the backpack and keeping it out of the sun. If careful, butter sometimes stayed semi solid for a few days.

Modern refrigeration is not the only possible solution. It's just the most familiar for most Americans.

I have posted and do frequently see "unsubstantive" comments, but somehow the mere connotation of gender is a flag.

From a historical perspective, such a question in even its simplest form is entirely valid given the nature of gender roles in societies. Are/were conspiring women's groups more or less feared than men's? I don't know myself, and my comment was sincere in that regard.

I'm in Queensland. At the Coles I go to, they are definitely refrigerated. I have been to NSW ones where they aren't. Maybe in Queensland it is policy. That seems plausible.
It is definitely better for the employee. But it also doesn't necessarily align incentives.

For example, once you are fully vested at a startup, the reason to stay is primarily if you think you have a material impact on the share price. If you don't, then you should leave to go somewhere where you do have a material impact and treat your shares in the original startup simply as an investment. In contrast, if you have a material impact, you should stay to maximize the value of your shares. Pooling everyone's shares, while better for the individual employee from a diversification perspective, reduces the ability of the employee to have a material impact on their investment.
Why in the world would anyone be interested in doing this? Companies are competing for talent, not the other way around.

I don't see the original headline ("Why The U.S. Chills Its Eggs And Most Of The World Doesn't") as clickbaity. It states a simple fact and leaves me curious about why the rest of the world doesn't wash. Your suggested headline ("Eggs need to be refrigerated in the US because they come pre-washed) would have left me confused rather than curious. I'd be thinking: How is washing in any way relevant to refrigeration? It seems like a non sequitur.

My problem with this is how can I verify my hookup is taking their meds and undetectable. Trust but verify doesn't seem to work here for hookups and one night stands.

The amount of positive guys on PrEP or even non-positive guys on PrEP who refuse condom sex seems to be greatly increasing. And it seems like there is now discrimination the other way; can't tell you how many times I've been pressured or refused or looked down upon for refusing non-condom sex or not going on PrEP myself.
The _confirmed_ incidence rates in years 2015 and 2016 are 14.85 and 14.51 (cases per 100000 population) in the USA, and 21.0 and 20.4 in the EU. Sources:

* National Enteric Disease Surveillance: Salmonella Annual Report, 2016

* Annual Epidemiological Report for 2016: Salmonellosis

https://ecdc.europa.eu/sites/portal/files/documents/AER_for_...

However, the incidence rates vary widely among European countries. Portugal had very low (< 4) incidence rates over the period 2012-2016, while the figures in Czech Republic over the same period were ridiculously high (around 100).

In the UK, where eggs sold on shelves apparently are required by law _not_ to be washed, the incidence rates in 2015 and 2016 are 14.6 and 15.1, which are on par with the US figures.

Oath already rebranded as “Verizon Media”
Okay understood. But does refrigerating them make them last longer? I'm nomading through South America and of course the eggs were not refrigerated. Didn't worry me much, but I still put them in the refrigerator with the assumption that a cold dark environment will make the last longer. no?

How about: "Amazing thing the US does to your eggs that nobody else does"
What's even more amazing is that we address Salmonella by washing eggs rather than vaccinating hens. In many European countries, all laying hens are vaccinated, and you can make and eat raw eggs in all kinds of great things like chocolate mousse without worrying about Salmonella.
Their "mere physical presence" after their visa has expired is the crime.

There is nothing unique about the US in that regard. Most countries have a limit on how long you can visit.

In the article it says "Another perk of consistent refrigeration is shelf life: It jumps from about 21 days to almost 50 days."

I will say the demographic deeply into fashion and those familiar with anime girls doesn't feel like it overlaps too much -- yet.

That said, one recent interesting development I saw is VRoid Wear, a collaboration between fashion brands and an anime-style 3D avatar creation tool. The brand Chloma is releasing the same apparel for avatars and real people simultaneously. The avatar-wear is not a mere promotional giveaway for the physical-wear: both are treated equally as products for sale, as they are selling the model data and textures for the former at around $50. (The physical version goes at something closer to $500, but still.)

One of the cooler things to me is you can order an actual physical server and its entirely only yours. It gets the same infrastructure and care we give everything else but you own and control it entirely. You can select the specific components you want or select a common build that we keep prebuilt for "fast provision". These prebuilt ones are sitting ready for booting via IPMI/BOOTP so with a few clicks you can get a baremetal server thats only yours in a few minutes. You can totally lock us out of it in every way if you want to. Also, the portions of the network where this happens is not an "overlay network" so that translates to extremely predictable latency and jitter characteristics that are actually better than the others can provide. Game companies especially like this but the downside is decreased flexibility because of course its a physical server somewhere so your responsible for managing any container or VM you choose on it. We of course have container and VM and many other things as services as well.
