I've seen "The Authoritarian Personality" recommended online (by philosophy minded people, not as accepted social science), so I think it's good to point out how flawed it is. There is a tendency for philosophy fans to excuse errors in work with, oh they are primarily a philosopher, and then turn around and say, cite Foucault's "Madness and Civilization" as a reliable source of information a paragraph later.

In fact, this very article is a "review" (in the way NYRB does it) of a new edition of "The Authoritarian Personality" which calls him "a great polymath." Since this article is in some ways advertising the very thing you call "hardly the cornerstone" of his work, the best thing for the top comment to be to inform people of it's flaws. In fact, I think it's irresponsible for NYRB to publish this, and mention his stupid opinions about Jazz, which are not really on topic or important, and not mention criticisms of the re-release that prompted the piece.

It doesn't even have to be "from their prime" (and I don't like to encourage that ageism concept, now that we have hiring managers fresh out of school). I'm comfortable asserting that, at any age, they will probably be high-value, having enough background to have insights and see connections that others cannot yet, now with a lot of general wisdom besides. See Danny Hillis's writeup on Feynman at Thinking Machines. You'd just need to offer them a compelling work situation, with problems that interest them.
I think part of the problem is that Haskell code can be very terse. When reading Python I expect to be able to easily understand what's going on in a 5 line function because the pythonic style limits what you can do in 5 lines. But in haskell a 5 line function can be pretty sophisticated.

As I understand it, almost no cattle live indoors, especially not for their entire life. The only exception I can think of is Kobe beef.

Even industrial beef cattle follow these stages (most companies target a single stage though your smaller boutique producers tend to tackle all three or at least the last two):

1. Cow/calf operations. These are all pastured (grass fed). At weaning they are sold at auction.
2. Backgrounding. The calves are brought up to finishing weight. This is typically a grass fed stage. Once they reach market weight, they are sold at auction.
3. Finishing. Most are finished at feedlots, which are generally outdoors but extremely crowded. This is where the nasty industrial farming stuff is concentrated.

Pasture finished beef is the way to go.

This is a bit odd. I know his partner consented to this, but this doesn't seem like it should be enough to make this not identity fraud.

Obviously the research Pavur carried out is extremely valuable and the mid-sized companies failing to follow proper procedure are the real problem here, but it still seems like it would be technically illegal.

Or we could address the problem directly by having fewer children. Reducing and then controlling our numbers at a sustainable level, like every other organism on the planet.

But, nooo, let's eat less meat and have a carbon tax and all the other BS that idiot liberals come up with to dance around the issue that you cannot have unlimited growth on a finite planet.

Our biggest problem is not climate change. It's an over-supply of extremely stupid people.

> all debit cards nowadays have the same protection

Sure but then you will be missing that cash until that protection can be dealt with. On a credit card, it's not your cash that has been stolen, you don't have to care, you move to your debit card.

On the other hand, your cash got stolen, you have to wait until it's handled to get a refund, and you need to use credit instead with cash that you don't have.

I also get 1% cash back on my credit card.
During the 2014 Ebola Outbreak in West Africa there were numerous people who appeared to have been infected while keeping their distance. Everybody was perplexed and assumed the victims--some of whom were medical professionals--unwittingly came into close contact with infected fluids while caretaking.

A small group of scientists started to speak up in various forums arguing that the original scientific experiments (1960s?) which calculated things like droplet sizes, distances traveled, times to evaporation, etc--the numbers used to determine how far particular kinds of virii can travel and how long they can persist in the environment--was irredeemably wrong. These bad metrics were and still are used to build transmissibility models.

According to more modern metrics and models, while not airborne as its strictly defined, Ebola virus can transmit much more readily and further than what is currently taught. TL;DR: aerosolized droplets can carry the Ebola virus much further and longer than believed. Bifurcating virus types into "airborne" and "not airborne" is dangerously simplistic as infected aerosols can have risk profiles closer to that of traditional airborne virus types, particularly for a virus like Ebola.

I can't find the original article I read--an article by the researcher who, IIRC, was the first or one of the first to empirically show the critical flaws in the original experimental results that current models rely upon. But this paper seems to have a good discussion of the issues: "Transmission of Ebola Viruses: What We Know and What We Do Not Know", https://mbio.asm.org/content/6/2/e00137-15

- which persuasively argues (with multiple sources) that the US meat industry depends upon massive labor exploitation of undocumented immigrants in order to 1) suppress wages and 2) maintain an otherwise intolerable working environment.

This shows that the problem is not simply corrupt legislation and lobbying, but a de facto symbiotic relationship between the meat industry, federal immigration authorities and border coyotes to maintain artificially low prices.
> "But the kind of mid-sized businesses that knew about GDPR, but maybe didn't have much of a specialised process [to handle requests], failed."

Is that 3% number associated with meat production in the USA or with meat consumption in the USA? If it's the former, then 3% would be an underestimate of the impact of reducing meat consumption, since the 3% doesn't include the emissions impact of feed and livestock that is imported.
> Vegan diets are being proved by lots of studies at being pretty shitty for you.

As far as I can tell, this is completely false. Vegan diets do a lot of things well: reduce salt, saturated fat, and cholesterol intake, for example. Vegetarian / vegan diets improve cholesterol, blood sugar levels, and other things.

Here's some citations of studies and papers that demonstrate vegan diets are better for you:

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3662288/

Several more listed at https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/vegan-diet-studies#sect...

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23695207
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16164885

The consensus of scientific evidence seems pretty clearly in favor of plant-based diets. The evidence is as clear as the world being round or climate change being real.

So what killed these people that weren't in gulags? Some of them were killed by the secret police etc, but the absolute majority of victims of communism and socialism were not killed, they died - because of unavailable food, medicine, healthcare services, housing and so on.

No one is talking about people Stalin killed and you're right it has no logic. The thing that got these people to die was market manipulation, which is why I posted it in a discussion about market manipulation.

Not everyone has to be immediately thinking about Stalin when making an argument about socialism leading to deaths. There are plenty of options. See Venezuela for instance.
I’ll admit it, I couldn’t understand any of the Adorno I read in school, except for the part where he hated jazz, so I wrote him off. On the whole I haven’t found much useful in the Frankfurt school, especially compared to what your average anthropologist is up to.

It wasn't until the videos my roommate watches on YouTube ended up on my suggested list that I realized the extent. YouTube is, in some way another, in cahoots with my ISP? Perhaps, they traced my IP and saw that it matched my roommates IP? I am not sure how but they did it somehow.

Soup stocks are always going to be easier because of the umami. You can even just get boullion cubes and your are pretty much good to go. For Japanese cooking, ichiban dashi is ridiculously easy -- though the katsuobushi is very, very difficult to make: really you need a professional to do it for you :-)

I have found that with vegan soups, you have to change the way you approach making soup. You don't start with a heavy, umami stock and add a few things to it. Instead, you have to layer flavours. So, it's not necessarily harder, but you have to know how to do it.

One surprisingly ovo-vegetarian soup is garlic soup. There is a good description in Mastering the Art of French Cooking by Child, et al, but from memory: Boil a peeled head of garlic. Remove the garlic. Whisk in a home made aoli (sp? -- virgin olive oil mayonaise). Add salt. It's truly a surprisingly good soup. You could probably devise a vegan version, but you need to find a way to emulsify the oil.

A vegan soup that I often have with somen noodles (thin wheat noodles) is soy milk (yes, really) mixed half and half with a light vegetable broth, chili oil, and fried garlic (a trend?). Whisk in a light, sweet miso to taste (or you can use a naturally fermented soy sauce, but I like the miso better). You can also add a dash of sesame oil, or mix in defatted sesame hulls.

I'd write some more, but it's been quite a while since I did any vegetarian cooking and my memory is not that great! But, definitely there are lots of amazing vegetarian soups that are relatively easy to make if you know how.

In the Western world and Asia, fertility is below replacement world, and in the Western world, the fraction of children born out of wedlock, who do worse than children of married couples by any measure, is rising. So I think working on something like eHarmony is much more moral than the app discussed in this thread.
> That said, we have zero chance of fixing our corrupt political system

We do have a chance. It's not going to be long until a critical mass of individuals understand that democracy is a system that legitimizes coercion, and that taxation is theft and generates poverty. We just need one more generation until that happens.

When people reach that conclusion, they will move their money away from fiat currencies and they will move their information into distributed systems (eg. blockchains).

By consequence they will make states and coercion not viable. Without the ability to control currencies, states go bankrupt and can't even pay for people to steal your money.

> Why are you cluttering my interface

I think these people fall into 1 of 2 groups, which explains the "why":

1. They're trying to be a "thought leader" on a particular topic (to get more/better job offers in the future).

2. To grow awareness of a brand.

In a lot of cases they're probably doing more harm than good, but in some cases it is a cheap and easy way to get a lot of attention (which is also why it bothers us, and that is how they're doing harm).
How do you know it solves the problem, instead of just tricking your measure?

Do you know when it doesn't work?

Business does not care about rigor, but then terrible things happen when your face recognition system happens to not work for people with dark skin tone.

Even more terrible things happen when it detects cats as people, and worse once it's used to link data into a police database.

Even pretty bad things happen when it's used for detecting potential (treated as absolute) copyright violations.

Security holes when it's used for detecting security problems.

Loss of business when it's used for ticket prioritization.

Business world does not care that it sells a broken solution as long as it's not obvious and someone has been paid. Everyone else pays for the failures. And you cannot sue an ML system really.

If you buy the curry paste, Thai-style curries are ridiculously easy to make: you can basically just dump the paste, coconut milk, a bit of water/broth, fish sauce (or soy sauce, or even just salt), a tiny bit of sugar, and whatever vegetables and other ingredients into a pot and cook for 10 minutes. Daal can be similarly easy to make, though you usually at least have to sauté some onions, ginger, etc first before throwing everything into the pot.

If you're okay with seafood, my wife and I really like this[0] Lohikeitto recipe (Finnish salmon soup).
