Let's please stop with the vegan fallacy. Cutting all meat production (and it's support industries) in USA and EU together, would have an impact of the global emissions of only 1%. [1] [2]

The more we try to mix personal ideologies (i.e. animal rights) with climate change, the more we are going to make the public at large ignore everything about the theme.

P.S: If you are really after a personal action to fight climate change, take public transportation to work, or better go by bicycle. [3] That - unlike veganism, actually makes a huge difference.

EDIT: Added links with the actual facts supporting both points. USA Meat Industry and associated industries emits 3% of their country total.[1] Same for every highly developed country due to very high efficiency of the process. Transportation on the other side, accounts for 27% of the country total in USA. [3] USA and EU together account for 20% of the world total emissions [2]

I think the downvotes you got speak for itself. I am not even gonna bother answering.

Also USA has some of the highest infant mortality and poverty rates in the western world.
Are we just exporting the pollution?
If I had any money I'd spend it to get more trees planted. For example http://www.trees4scotland.com/ or some equivalent movement could probably do a lot of good with that money.
Portugal: Europe’s hottest property market is getting too hot for some
OP's claim that the poorest 20% of Americans have it better than middle class Europeans which I pointed out is false. Can you prove that the poorest 20% of Americans have it better than middle class Americans?

Engaging with you was a complete waste of time.
Trucks will presumably stay at lower rates than cars. A Tesla truck would also have lower production rates than the Model 3. So 10,000 for a company with much less funding doesn't sound too bad.
Ignoring that Monsanto no longer exists, what particular relevance do they bring to the conversation that makes it worth singling them out? There are many companies that produce herbicides. There are companies, not including the former Monsanto company, that produce insecticides that are strongly linked to insect population decline. Wouldn't they be equally interesting, if not more interesting, to name here? It is not clear why one would bring up Monsanto, and only Monsanto, which explains why such comments would be downvoted as spam.
Luckily (for muslims), the focus of racism is slowly changing to Chinese people now. It is as if Americans (and most others) can't exist without an ethnicity to be mad about.

I'm talking about the difficultly of reasoning about high level application state when it isn't explicit.

To take a low level example - sorting a list efficiently is easy with imperative programming and mutable state ( Note you can still encapsulate that state within a object - it doesn't need to be global ).

On the other hand took about 20 years before somebody worked how to do it reasonably with a functional approach.

Being obsessive about a pure functional approach and/or having a holy war against heap managed state is a mistake in my view.

Functional approach is a tool in the toolbox, not a golden hammer.
If you look at the calculator and plug some values of your own you can see that the absolute value of the numbers is not what is generating the large sample sizes. The problem that is being shown up is the small gap in predictive power of the two classifiers being differentiated.

A common (industry) scenario is that you have a classifier that is 99.xx or 5x.xx accurate (it makes very few mistakes but they are costly, or it's a bit better than a coin flip, but we'll take that as it's what pays the mortgage), and we need to be absolutely positively certain that the one that we are fielding really works and is the best one we have (or homeless-a-go-go)

With the calculator

99.79 vs 99.65 @99% & 99% power-> 68457 examples

50.79 vs 50.65 @99 &99 -> 6129161 examples

which is why fancy models with marginal demonstrated improvement are often kept in the draw - much to the frustration of ML folks who are sure that it works and have proved that it will make the firm $10M a week.

Oh they are in the loop, even if they don't see it.

This is how religion is used to get people to do things. You can read anything you like from a religious book; you'll find justification for anything if you comb for quotes enough. This makes religion a glue, or an amplifier, not a prescriber of behavior.

Consider Christianity - the religion that gave us half of what's nice about the Western culture. That same religion using that same, unchanging book, set half of Europe aflame multiple times, for ostensibly religious reasons. When you look at it from outside it looks ridiculous, and when you study history you discover obvious political goals behind the crusades and other European wars - but then, a lot of people fighting and directing forces believed they do it because "God commands it".

It's no different with Islam. Jihad is just an excuse to get people to fight and die for political causes. If the political reasons disappear, they'll soon find an excuse to not fight, and Jihad will again become "the internal struggle".

Who else clicked on this thinking it would be some brat who wanted a higher end model?

Nice surprise.
I have the feeling that the answers below are going away from what the OP was trying to find out.

It's not about going vegan, starting a garden or using condoms. If a person is already exhausted personal efforts (to the extent one can with a given life condition), where can we help by directly investing.

Because I'm a working professional with solid income, maybe I don't have time/space to do the time-consuming activities proposed, but I do have excess funds that I can direct to the higher cause.

So - where should we invest our money, and not our time? Because we possible have the first, and not the later :(
I've worked in large corporations most of my life. Each is its own ecosystem. The top dogs use their staff as minions. The tough minions get an attaboy. The weak (normal humans with a soul) leave. It is a self cleaning/adjusting system, no need to fire anyone, most people quit for softer/calmer/humane companies.

In these large companies the #1 employee is the one who crushed everyone else on their path. No strange that many high-performers are sociopaths.
Docker was in full swing in 2017, just like LXC. Even rkt predates it, I'd say

That sounds like a reasonable definition. But how would this definition qualify the Taliban attacks on military bases and police stations in Afghanistan?
Eleven-year-olds are often very sensible. Stupidity sets in a couple of years after that age, according to my observations.
I read a report recently on predictions for Generation Alpha, i.e. the generation after Generation Z (in turn the generation after the Millennial Generation) very roughly born after 2010. One of the predictions was that they would be both "digital masters" but also "the new old fashioneds" that would be looking to break away from technology more, perhaps as a result of feeling neglected by parents constantly distracted by phones. Examples cited included children placing smartphones on lists of things they wish had never been invented, and the 7 year old in Germany who got 150 people to attend a march with banners like "Play with ME, not with your phones!" Although it is too early to make any predictions that are likely to be especially accurate, and I'm not even sure how widely accepted the Generation Alpha name even is, it is none-the-less interesting from a technology perspective. And perhaps not too surprising since generations often go in cycles, rejecting parts of what defined the preceding generations.
I'm on the same boat. Buying a land to turn it into a forrest tops my list at the moment. It's possible to get some money back thanks to subsidies (I'm in EU), and maybe I will live long enough to sell some timber one day.

It would feel nice to own a forest, however, it would lock my funds and perhaps I could do better by investing the money into more impactful ventures, so I'm still looking for ideas.
We can't have meaningful discussions based on titles or misunderstanding of the context the article uses and overgeneralizing.

My understanding is that the context is "usable models in clinical setting". Am I reading it wrong?
The article you link to literally claims the opposite:

"The high consumption of America’s “poor” doesn’t mean they live better than average people in the nations they outpace"
Mainframes are general purpose machines optimized for high (IO) throughput of bulk business operations rather than number crunching. The answer to your question is probably marketing and avoiding confusion. You wouldn’t call a supercomputer a mainframe even though it could probably do the work.

True, so it is just a joke.
Move to a city where you don't need a car, would be a start. That's likely to cost money, although I am not sure if it would cost more than the running costs of a car.
Although your point is perfectly valid, I don't think the tool is intended for anything other than fun.
Steel production in the US is a third of what it was 45 years ago. While the population increased by 60%.

I get that but this is not an "unsolved problem" IMO. Anyway anybody is 100% free to use their time as they prefer, it just makes me wonder if there are/were real technical, unpatchable limits in the already existing solutions or it's just a (totally reasonable) case of NIH.

> It’s generally a bad idea to use the word “you”—too intrusive—and there are said to be 20 ways of saying “I.”

See formal "you" and informal "you" in European languages for a related phenomenon. It's ironic that English "thou", the informal, singular "you", became so impolite that it fell out of general use. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thou .

> Women are expected to refer to themselves in the third person, men not.

It is interesting that J has women's language and men's language, but that does not make it exceptional in its uniqueness.

> A single verb in Yasunari Kawabata’s short novel Snow Country is translated in 29 different ways because what we would render as “I think” can in Japan mean “I remember,” “I long for” or 27 other things.

For comparison, I present the E verb whose Proto-IE ancestor has had the most success in surviving among its daughter languages https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/bear#Verb_2 , and all the shades of meaning in E that it has acquired in its storied history.

> One prince in Genji has never been allowed to speak with his own sister except through curtains or behind a screen. Yet men in Genji’s world think nothing of going to bed with women with whom they’ve never exchanged a word.

Rather than reflecting on some essential role of silence in Japanese culture, it reflects primarily the court customs and the religious significance of the Japanese royalty. There may be an argument that this is reflective of silence and that this role of silence survives in some form in contemporary Japan, but it needs a more comprehensive argument with more evidence.

> You can tell a Japanese restaurant in the Sixth Arrondissement of Paris, my wife points out, by the fact that (unlike the places run by Koreans or Chinese) it never says “Japanese” at the entrance.

On the other hand, many Japanese restaurants advertise that they serve ramen/udon/sushi out front. In Japan, many restaurants have a greeter actively soliciting customers that you won't find in the West.

> In Japan, more than anywhere, nothing is more fatal than thinking you know what’s being said. The English word “hip” in Japan refers to the buttocks, and “smart” means slender. “Naïve” is a good word in Japan, and so is “tension.” A “mansion” refers to a thick-walled, modern and often small apartment.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/False_friend False friends are a perpetual source of embarassment, and is no way exceptionally fatal in Japan.
Project Gutenberg currently blocks users from Europe to avoid having to comply with GDPR. Logically the next step would be to block users from California as well.
The challenge with Kubernetes is the number of layers that are being created. Whilst each individual layer can be understood, it takes time.

Additionally, these layers are prone to rapid change. To take one example Cilium and other players in the container world are looking to replace iptables with eBPF. So learning iptables becomes obsolete.

For me, Kubernetes is cool and if you have enough scale to need it, very useful. The problem is (like most IT hype cycles) it's getting used in inappropriate places, where simpler more basic solutions could work just fine.
> In Japan, I never forget that a great conversationalist is one who listens.

This is true everywhere, and not exceptionally more true in Japan than anywhere else. Perhaps Japanese are raised in a way that they have more good listeners.

> A couple that got married in Nagasaki soon after the bomb was dropped on the city, Susan Southard reports, would mention the transfiguring event once, and then never again.

I think this refers to a specific couple from this book? (https://www.amazon.com/Nagasaki-Life-After-Nuclear-War/dp/01...) It's a stretch to say that this is indicative of a general attitude toward silence.

> “If you think, ‘I breathe,’ ” said Shunryu Suzuki, the Zen teacher, “the ‘I’ is extra.”

Zen is just about as reflective of Japan in general as the Amish are of the US.

> Perhaps the most celebrated poem in Japan is Basho’s gasp of delight at seeing the island of Matsushima.

The author overstates its high-brow-ness. It's just fun to quote. There are a lot of haiku that are primarily funny.

====

I can go on, but it's more of the same. All these observations are isolated from various contexts and loosely tied together into a theme of Japanese silence. It's fun and doing something like this helps organize things into something readable, but for the theme to reflect something innately Japanese and more than an ad-hoc organization of prima facie similar thoughts would require a proper argument.

> One sign that Sofia Coppola’s Lost in Translation is a Japanese movie is the fact that the audience never hears its last, and presumably most important, sentence.

Surely this is satire?

> A Beginner’s Guide to Japan by Pico Iyer is now available from Knopf. Featured with permission of the publisher, Knopf. Copyright © 2019 by Pico Iyer.

Presumably this article consists of excerpts from the book. In terms of literary form, it's very fun, reminding of epigrams and Marcus Aurelius's Meditations. But the person who picks up this book based on its title expecting some nuanced reflection on Japan would find the author's dogmatic ignorance most discernible in it, and nothing remotely hinting at the wisdom behind Meditations. Note that I find that Meditations suffers similarly; the observations do not exhibit blinding ignorance as some do here, but they are terribly lacking in context for many to be more universally useful than just "notes to oneself".
It depends on what you mean by "support".
> Sure, but if you had phrased the question more fairly and said "Should it be ok for a company to give you free services in exchange for tracking everywhere you go?" I think almost everyone would have said yes.

Then you should add shadow profiling, data banks linking together data of dozens of different companies, politically targeted advertisement that pretends to be from human users.

Yes the free market is nice and all, still the internet is a hell of a creepy place. It is undeniable that the reason this was allowed (comparing to direct mail advertisement for example) is that it was always believed to be impossible.
Do you have a source on the 1%? Everything I've read supports an individuals veganism being roughly equivalent to a typical individual's transportation. And land for crops for cattle is currently the leading cause of deforestation.
To add to what Juliate commented, one is a single person, even if he messed up at his work and was dismissed for bad performance and not for the YT channel..

And on the other side we have this CANCER called Facebook, which is managed by a gang of managers that respect nothing and nobody.

And the fun part that nobody commented (I think) is that YT is another brutal violator of everything-privacy, and YT is one main tool in their toolbox.

Sure I'll take criticism .... you don't even have a thesis to begin with. You don't even have evidence other than tweets of who are they even? Some two yes-men for women? Haven't we seen that before.

You can research these ... conditions.

And you conveniently ignore pedo feminists for your own political victimhood narrative.
I'm a Brit, so a complete outsider so bear with me.

It seems to me the mass shooting, and gun crime issue generally is the responsibility of the gun lobby to solve. If a constituency wants to have a certain set of rights, and those rights have negative consequences on the rest of the population, it's the responsibility of that constituency to come up with a workable way to regulate itself. If it abrogates that responsibility, it should be prepared to forfeit those rights.

So what is the US gun community's answer to shooting sprees and gun deaths in general? It's clearly a real problem, so what's the answer? I'm not interesting in hearing why this or that gun control legislation can't work or is unfair. It's up to you, it's your problem to fix. What's your solution?
I think habit-change and lobby for increased taxation on climate burdening behavior are the best options.

A vegan requires a fraction of the climate burden for his/her food compared to someone on a regular diet.

And without a fair-and-square climate impact tax (i.e.: a CO2eq tax), we are going no where.
A war where the US were totally forced to participate, of course, like always...

Well, let's say I use the term "loosely" ... I believe they're going to go bust in the coming years with coming regulation and shrinking market and there is no more growth of principal for the shareholders, in fact it's overvalued. To successfully dump it on retail, you need a "story" and a good marketing and presenting the stock as something that it's not in this case, and I think people involved are aware of it.
Magellan himself was killed, he didn't complete the journey in the first place. So, the title already didn't make sense (clickbait)

What most mean when the say Magellan did that, they mean his project/vision/mission to sail around the world. In that spirit everything remains the same, even with this additional information.
What you say is about deer hunting in Sweden is true. But only for Roe deer. They are quite small deers that you are allowed to hunt with shotguns and Class 2 rifles, meaning 800j at 100m. That's typically a .222 Remington. The legality of this stands out when you take the rest of Swedish hunting laws into consideration. There reason is probably historic. There is a Swedish tradition to hunt Roe Deer these types of guns and so the lawmaker kept it.

Even though Class 2 rifles are legal it's my impression that they have become less and less popular. Most people tend to use something like a 6.5x55, .308 or 30-06 since that gives you more margin of error.

Roe deer is the also largest animal you're allowed to hunt with a Class 2 rifle. The next size deer (Fallow deer) is Class 1, meaning >2000J. You can use shotguns with slugs on boar and fallow deers, but not on Roe deer. This shows that it's not always clear how the lawmaker reasons.

Hunting laws in different countries often reflect tradition and might not always have a sound base in science. In the US you are allowed to hunt with falcons, muzzleloaders and bows. That's criminal in Sweden.

As a long time BSD and UNIX user, I disagree with the premise that containers have only recently been usable. Even on Linux, solutions like Proxmox made containers incredibly useful in the pre-LXC / pre-Docker days. And that’s discounting FreeBSD jails, Solaris Zones, etc which have existed a lot longer.

If anything, Docker just made containers trendy (they gave more talks at more conversations, etc) when before it was seen as a niche toy compared to virtualisation which few had heard of and fewer had bothered to look into. However being trendy doesn’t mean better nor easier to use.

I run Trunk[1] which helps e-commerce businesses that sell in multiple places sync their inventory in real-time. It’s a very infrastructure and backend-heavy app that’s currently running across 7-10 Google Cloud instances (mostly preemptible) that can scale up/down depending on load (e.g. a large customer signs up, Black Friday)

In development, all services can be brought up using Docker Compose within a monorepo.

Frontend: Ember.js
Backend: Ruby on Rails, nginx, Postgres, Redis, Sidekiq, VueJS (marketing site)
Metrics: Prometheus, Grafana, Papertrail
Infrastructure: Ubuntu, Docker Swarm
CI/CD: Google Cloud Build

I also run a few ad-hoc scripts in Google Cloud Run that perform very specific duties like triggering CI/CD builds or sending Slack notifications.

Google Cloud Platform is great!
