My experience is that mono-language policies (or similar tight, top-down controlling of the language stack) are simply a matter of time. All companies enforce that as they mature.

I have been working for two companies that adopted Clojure and Scala early on. They all have, within a period of two to three years, enforced a Java only monoculture with no new projects being written in the aforementioned languages.

The reasons were key engineers leaving for greener pastures and experiencing difficulties with staffing: Not being able to find (cheap) experienced developers, or failing to do in house training due to the lack of interest.

This might be hard to believe, considering that the average HN user would jump of excitement at the chance to learn something new, but then again, those languages were introduced with the JVM as the main selling point, meaning working mostly with Java developers, who are notorious for their resistance to learn _anything_.

Even worse, as people normalize the use of a surveillance technology (a technology in general, NOT a specific product), eventually it will pass the "in general public use" test created by Kyllo v United States. When that happens, using that technology is no longer a search and thus the police no longer need a warrant to use it. The people normalizing surveillance tech are eroding our future 4th Amendment protection.

The short of it from the article (my interpretation much simplified): the Sacklers would keep the bulk of their prior gains (however that may be defined) but will give up their ownership of the manufacturer of Oxycontin, a large contributor of their potential future gains. So yeah. That certainly doesn't seem like much of a penalty, given the fortune the family has already made and doesn't seem to provide any real disincentive for others not to follow suit in the future ....just make enough money before the lawsuits start. <sarcastic tone> Feels a little like FB's recent FTC "slap on the wrist".
I'm surprised by the recent popularity of seitan. Obviously you don't have to avoid gluten to be vegan, but I've always had the impression gluten avoidance is adjacent to veganism. At least for vegans who cite personal health as their primary motivator.
My perspective on PR is very US-heavy. I have literally never seen a fission advertisement or billboard or anything in the USA. I see ads for natural gas all the time, filled with wind mills and wizards and all sorts of garbage.

> Experts NOT employed by the nuclear fission industry tend to disagree with the industry experts

I suspect that may be over stated. The fission industry is relatively small and lots of people are not employed by it. Certainly it's possible to find opposing viewpoints on most topics, as anti-nuclear groups has a rich and powerful history.

The solution in terms of the topic discussed in your link (corrosion) is generally academia. Independent university labs can perform various kinds of corrosion tests and discuss in the open literature. Does this not happen like this in Sweden?

I've been surprised by how low some of the European radiation limits myself, especially given the growing body of science suggesting that biological systems are quite robust against low-dose radiation (perhaps because we evolved with an ever-present natural background of it).

For example: "Integrated Molecular Analysis Indicates Undetectable Change in DNA Damage in Mice after Continuous Irradiation at ~ 400-fold Natural Background Radiation": https://ehp.niehs.nih.gov/doi/10.1289/ehp.1104294
> The environmental concerns, I only buy half-heartedly. I don't really believe that land-owners will transform their pastures or soy cultures into rain forest instead of another profitable exploitation, I'd rather have states force responsible production and norms.

If farmers switch to other exploitative crops, it should drive up the supply and down the price of those crops, reducing the drive to clear more rain forest.
It seems likely enough that the ownership isn't the only problem.

For instance, if you consider something like the "normalization of deviance", the culture of the company and groups within the company have almost certainly contributed to the situation.

Perhaps it would work well enough to give the victims shares in several poorly constructed successor companies. Poorly constructed because structuring them well is going to preserve culture.

It is important to recognize Buffett runs an absolutely massive amount of money and wants concentration. If you are limited by those factors you are limited to about 400 companies in the USA. Then among those, about half of them have weak returns on marginal capital invested. Among the remaining 200 or so, he doesn't like the price.

Most investors are not limited to about 200 companies. Keep looking. Look under 500M market caps. Plenty of companies trading for ev/ebits under 7, PEs under 10, price/books under 1, with decents ROICs.

At a very superficial level to this omnivore, vegan food appears to be moving away from tofu and more towards Impossible Meat. And that's a step backwards from this omnivore's perspective. I like vegan burgers because they contain lots of tasty ingredients like black beans, corn & cauliflower. I don't want pseudo-meat because I still eat meat occasionally. Hydrolized Pea Protein is not "real food" IMO.

As for tofu: marinate in maple syrup and tamari, then roast. And I first had that at a restaurant.

A special characteristic of aircraft emissions is that most of them are produced at cruising altitudes high in the atmosphere. Scientific studies have shown that these high-altitude emissions have a more harmful climate impact because they trigger a series of chemical reactions and atmospheric effects that have a net warming effect.

This is what the IPCC is referring to when they say the climate impact is two to four times greater than from emissions alone.

This idea that all carbon emissions are terrible and must be eliminated is entirely counter productive, and entirely impossible.

So you are saying that there are more people living in places that will have negative impacts from climate change than positive impacts. I could see that being a reasonable argument. Should we then compensate those who would otherwise benefit if we reversed climate change?

> even if climate change doesn't exist

From what I've read climate change very much exists and it's due to the increase in co2.

But I haven't seen people put out forecasts they are confident in on what the impacts will be. I'm not kidding, a few times per year here in Hawaii the forecast for rain is 0% while it is raining. And this is a place with very advanced military and atmospheric stations. I think scientists have made an overwhelming convincing case climate change is real and it's from an increase in co2, but I have seen no models that I can play with specifically predicting how it will affect certain regions. Instead people say "it will be bad". If you think because scientists say something is good or bad without showing you all the underlying data and allowing you to reproduce things yourself at home, I've got some government approved pain pills to sell you.

> fighting pollution will always be a good thing if you care about your lungs or your health in general.

I agree with this.

I guess my point is the first step is better forecasting and modeling tools. Otherwise we really don't know what we are fighting, other than higher temperatures.

I don't want to destroy your illusions, but so-called "web standards" have been "whatever Chrome does" for a while now. FF is great (I'm using it all the time, even on Android until very recently), but publishers have no incentive to test on FF specifically because of ad blockers eliminating all ads irrespective of whether they're targetted/tracking ads or regular ads. Actually, from a purely economical PoV, publishers would benefit in the short term from not supporting content on any other browser than Chrome. Of course, mid-term this will only play into the hands of Google. Actually, I wonder whether we've already past that point where we can prevent the web to become a Google ads channel. At which point "standards" (as understood by WHATWG) are a moot point anyway.
If you're developing a web application...isn't firefox already open?
> How much in comparison to farming generally?

This has already been answered elsewhere in this discussion.

> You're attempting a bait and switch: 1) Claim veganism is bad because it would reduce output if everyone switched now. 2) Claim veganism is bad because it would reduce output at the margin of an optimal policy.

I'm not doing a bait and switch. Here is what I wrote:

1.) in a sibling thread before this one:

> So maybe your idea would work in a more temperate climate. And maybe it would provide extra food for people further north, but it would mean a lot of land that cannot be used for anything but pastures would go out of use.

2.) On top of this thread:

> I'm not saying this is not possible. But I am saying - as someone who has grown up on a farm and studied farming - that it might be somewhat more complicated.

I write that in reply to you writing a comment in support of this comment:

> Yeah, and the vast amounts of land used to grow those things can be redirected to other things that humans can eat.

> I have no idea why otherwise smart people get such a brain block on the topic of meat-eating. These "gotcha" points fall apart if you take 10 seconds to think about it.

Back to your claim of bait and switch :

It is more like as I proceed down the thread I get more and more specific to make my point easier to understand.

I still stand by my original claim.

My point is that while vast areas can be repurposed other vast areas cannot.

I point out early on that it might be possible anyway.

I also claim that like a lot of other topics it isn't something you can understand in ten seconds like the comment you supported seems to claim.
Can't speak for every kebab shop but here it's typically served with hummus, tahini and sometimes an eggplant spread.

The problem doesn't seem to be that it is male in some places and neutral in others, but that it's considered neutral even tho' it's clearly male.
Yes, in this day and age, famine is basically obsolete. It's not just advances in food tech. Changes in transportation (locally and globally), communication, refrigeration and other preservation techniques, sanitation, and a host of other things affect the situation. Localized crop failures shouldn't lead to massive hunger, and they won't, unless someone wants them to go hungry and is willing to use force to prevent aid.

So what are the odds of something like the Irish potato blight happening on a nationwide or worldwide scale, large enough to disrupt a global food supply? Like the entire US corn crop failing all at once? I'm more concerned about genetic monocrops like Gros Michael bananas or rubber trees than I am about rice or wheat. But one country having a bad year? That's not the problem it was.

Slow yield declines is also a concern, but those are likely to be regional and crop-specific. These things can be managed with modern farming techniques - change crops, or use alternate varieties.

And beyond that, I think we have at least one, maybe a couple more agricultural technical revolutions up our sleeves. The first is already underway - detailed sensors monitoring crop quality down to a plant-by-plant level. When integrated with small, inexpensive crop-tending robots, whole new worlds open up. Who needs "Roundup Ready" when robots that can recognize and pull weeds on sight are roaming the fields? The second is also underway... starting with GMO crops, but I think we will cross over to genetically targeted poisons for common pests. There's a lot of potential there.

- 8.3% average globally doesn't necessarily represent 8.3% of your users or market.

I guess I'm lucky to have grown up in an area where restaurants almost always had some vegan options just as a matter of course. Tomato pie vs pepperoni pizza, pasta places with spaghetti so good, it doesn't matter if you get pomodoro or carbonara, dry fried szechuan string beans that sounds like "just a side" but eats like a meal, tacos with chicken, pork or veggies.

Veg/vegan food was always just food to me, so all this hub bub about it is bizarre to me.
