How much keto/carno red meat is raised in such an idyllic settings?

Most red meat is factory-raised and fed tons of those artificially fertilized/pest-controlled grains, belching massive amounts of methane before getting trucked around the country - toxic for the environment.

Environmentally friendly meat does exist, by some definitions, but those locally-raised antibiotic-free grass-fed pasture-raised free-range sustainable meats are expensive.
Or that the merits of a suggestion were inversely proportional to an employee number, but cultures such as those frequently emerge in engineering driven organizations with a lot of smart people. I speculate that it is an offshoot off the imposter syndrome effect, when someone is feeling like an imposter and they are being asked to make a big decision, they search for externally generated metrics that would increase their confidence in the decision.

Degrees, low employee numbers, industry awards, are all signals that "someone else" thought this person was "good". And not even super geniuses understand everything about everything and they still have to make decisions.

Sad or not, in my experience working around gifted engineering teams it is not uncommon.

There is a wide-ranging set of analogies around the (inherently paradoxical) idea of the "field with one element", one of which is that the integers are expected to behave like the ring of polynomials over a field with one element. Another example is that the symmetric group on n elements is expected to behave like the group of invertible n x n matrices.

Uncovering How Microbes in the Soil Influence Our Health and Our Food
That description isn't quite accurate. All players must be 19 or 1 year after graduating from a US high school to be eligible in the NBA. This was changed around 15 years ago and has led to a lot of basketball super stars playing 1 year in college (One-and-done).

There are a lot of "reasons" why. Most argue that it was fueled by a lot of 18 year olds that flamed out and were unsuccessful in the league in the late 90s and early 2000s. There is a great book that came out recently detailing that time period.[1]

Some people say this is to protect the players and give them a degree to fall back on, but IMO it has become much more obvious lately that it is a free way to scout players for another year and see them compete against each other to get a better handle of who is worth investing in. The NBA is planning on dropping this age requirement back to 18 in the next several years.

As for what they study, the answer is typically not very much. Some of these players are basically physically ready to play in the NBA at 16 and college is a complete waste of time. They just need to pass their classes in the first semester (or first two quarters) to stay eligible through the post-season in March before dropping out and preparing for the draft. It is a farce. Ben Simmons is a recent example if you want to read about it or watch his documentary. [2]

Football is a little different. The requirement is 3 years from HS graduation and very few players are physically ready for the NFL at 18. Careers are also much shorter in the NFL, so you really only see players skipping a few games at the end of their final college season to stay healthy for the draft.

Baseball has the best system in my opinion. You can be drafted out of HS or Junior College, but, if you turn that down or are not drafted, you aren't eligible until you turn 21 or finish your 3rd year.

This system wouldn't work well as well in the NBA because of how their contracts work, but this is already way too long of a post.

He's actively and obviously investing in building his own brand, as it were. He's further doing so in a very in-your-face manner, plus encouraging others to do the same.

It's almost like an undeclared work-to-rule style strike. This is potentially a real problem for the company.

Personally, I think the real issue here is their reluctance to fire him over the cost involved. Keeping him may cost far more.

Granted, they probably should have done something different somewhere along the way to avoid this entire scenario, but I don't have any idea what that might be. I don't have enough information to guess.

WeWork Withdraws Its IPO
That is why we don't post these.
Not sure the target market is for this since it's between airports. The Palo Alto to SFO one doesn't really help you get into the city because much of the traffic you'd have to drive through is between SFO and downtown. I guess they couldn't get rights to land somewhere downtown (after a bit of research it actually looks like there are no active heliports in SF except one at UCSF in the Dogpatch. Color me unsurprised.) Maybe this is useful if you are really really rich and want to skip some traffic between South Bay and the airport, but doesn't make much sense to me.

The only thing that is moderately interesting to someone that's not a billionaire are the flights to Napa. At first I thought it was competing with some of the wine tasting buses that drive up and back but they only do 2 flights a week (Friday-Monday). That implies a weekend trip. I guess that make sense.

Overall, seems not super useful. I guess I am not the target demographic.
Galloway's strength is that he's an amazing communicator and very arrogant. People eat up what he says without a moment's thought. And to be fair he's had some great calls, ie, Amazon's stock run in 2017 and this WeWork fiasco (although the WeWork one wasn't that hard to predict after the reports on the corporate malfeasance came out). Combine an arrogant and vociferous personality with a couple of correct calls and you have something that sells.

But he's also made some really bad calls. For example he predicted that Spotify was going to be the next FANG and that the stock price would double last year. That's not a crime, nobody knows what is going to happen in the future, but it's the arrogance and condescension and air of certainty that bothers me.

He was so adamant about the dominance of voice and how Alexa was going to take over and largely disrupt touch screens. That was the call that I never agreed with and made me more skeptical of what he says. More than once I saw him on tv talking very condescendingly to people who questioned that call and in the end, two years later, I still don't know a single person who has ordered anything using Alexa. To this day it remains a cooking timer and a way to control audio equipment (if I'm really lazy). Galloway called it the most transformative device in ten years. Really?
You would also need to replace the operating system and all the software. The traditional operating system driver stack does way too much copying for any of this to work. Perhaps a better model would involve some way of time-sharing or multiplexing direct access to the hardware by user applications. I'm not an operating system expert so take my comments with a grain of salt.
"Eat food, not too much, mostly plants."

Even this seemingly simple advice can change depending on metabolism and exercise habits. As someone with a fast metabolism who exercises a lot, it's difficult to impossible for me to each too much whole/non-processed food. The more I eat (including meat/proteins, vegetables/fruit, carbs, fat, and non-junk food calories in general), the better and stronger I feel, both physically and mentally. My challenge is the opposite: if I'm not fairly disciplined about eating nutritionally dense foods every few hours during the day, I won't be at my best.

So for me it's more like "Eat food, as much as you can, with as much nutritional density and variety as possible".

I'd say unethical for everyone.

This isn't even just an "animal rights" debate. It's also a debate about the impact that eating meat has on the environment.

There's way too many "eat less meat" articles to list, but here's one:
https://time.com/5648082/un-climate-report-less-meat/

Sure, it's a bit of a jump from "eat less meat" to "eat no meat", but the trend is there.
The best thing for the environment is not cutting down forests to replace them with grasslands. I just got back from Maui where this was standard practice for hundreds of years, and in fact one of the neighboring islands(Kaho'olawe) no longer catches rain because the ruminant grass-fed beef cattle that were ranched on that island ate all of the vegetation year after year resulting in massive erosion of the topsoil. What you would call "wildlife living on a pasture" is actually the invasion of endemic ecology with one that is alien to the area, and this has a significant impact on the endemic species.

So no, grass-fed beef is not particularly good for the environment.
Don't most laws work like this:

> it seems like you should be able to fire anyone who directly lies to you.

Incorrect, depending on the question asked, the context of the question, the state of mind of the asker and askee, etc. Firing someone for lying about activity related to their protected status is making an employment decision related to their protected status. For another hypothetical, someone may lie about being transsexual for any number of reasons, and firing them for lying about it is directly violating the Civil Rights Act of 1968 (or at least our judiciary's modern interpretation of it).

> if it's illegal to fire people for having a disability, isn't it better just not to ask in the first place?

From the employer's perspective, yes. They must make reasonable accommodations for the employee if asked to do so, but directly asking if someone has a particular disability is a liability can of worms no matter what the response. In general, these things are disclosed as part of the onboarding process, where the employee themselves are asked to volunteer any disabilities which require accommodation.
In terms of overall noise, we're running into a lot. (This is what led us to ML as a way to hopefully reduce it.)

Comparing the pure DOM reveals almost constant change due to various inserted Javascript from Google/Facebook/etc modifying the DOM. Looking at text/images also result in a fair amount of expected noise, but it's mostly in the form of interstitial marketing banners, fundraising targets, etc.

We already have various options to "filter" out certain DOM areas. (As an example, remove all footers, headers, or any other CSS selector.) These work really well... but they require a fair bit of setup.

Thanks for the pixelmatch GH repo link... I have it starred so must have taken a look in the past. We need to evolve our image diff, so we may end up using this!
Yeah, I don't honestly think it will work simply because not everyone would adopt it.

You'd want to say something like "We are going to impose a 10% import/export tariff on all shipped/air transported goods" since land transport is a lot green than air or shipping.

The problem for the US is that if Mexico and Candida don't play ball, then what will happen is you'd see people shipping goods to Mexico and Candida and then ground transporting them into the US (That already happens now with Trump's tariffs. People are shipping to a non-tariffed country and than shipping it up to the tarriffed country).

So, what you end up needing to do is a 10% across the board tariff for all countries indiscriminately. But that can put you in a pretty big financial disadvantage if you are the only country doing that.

IDK, maybe someone will do it. I certainly wouldn't argue it for the EU, for example, simply because many of those countries are closer to each other than states in the US are.

I honestly don't know what the solution is to the shipping problem. It is a huge CO2 emitter and yet it's very nature resists any sort of financial disincentive. It is simply too easy to make goods switch hands in a non-taxed area to avoid taxes.

> I wonder if anyone has ever said, sincerely, "sir, I believe you are committing an Argumentum ad Baculum," let alone had this produce a useful result.

Formal debate structures go all the way back to the time of Aristotle and there certainly have existed places where bringing up a fallacy directly was meant to encourage an interlocutor to explain how the fallacy doesn't apply or take the time to restructure their argument to not rely on a fallacy.

Most formal debate has fallen out of fashion. About the last place you may see it is "Debate Clubs" and (sometimes) Law practice.

Certainly the internet has pushed things almost extremely informal with respect to debate. Indeed a reference to a formal fallacy can derail an internet discussion because few internet interlocutors understand or care if they make a fallacy in their arguments, and sometimes things like cognitive dissonance seems to implore them to hold fast and tight to their fallacies rather engage in eliminating them. But that's not necessarily an argument against bringing up fallacies when you see them. Illiteracy of formal debate logic [1] might be a problem on the modern internet.

(Arguably it's a large part of why the modern US "Presidential Candidate Debates" are similarly so terrible, because they aren't formal debates, fallacies are never challenged, nor allowed to be challenged, and the average amount of debate literacy has just been tossed out the window for extremely informal dog and pony shows that fail to be useful debates in terms of what debates were intended to do: debate.)

> A useful (intuitive even!) reference would include plain English explanations.

The [I] button in the corner of this particular reference site shows the English explanations in the "periodic table" directly. (The site also shows the English explanations for them in details popups.) That this is not the default or that most of buttons are not well explained (and there's no differentiation between buttons, text, and links in the stylesheet) certainly does leave the reference site a long ways from intuitive (or accessible for that matter), but it does have the useful tools even if they are hard to find at least.
