Vegetables are getting less and less nutritious as the topsoil is being ripped off with each harvest. We only have about 60 left https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/only-60-years-of-...

And comparing nutrients, animal products have far more, in better format, and more available then vegetables. For example liver is about 20 times more nutritious than fruit by weight.
Don’t tell Greta.
Nit: b12 - until the late 90's (I think) when it was discovered how to be made in a lab, there were no non-animal sources of vitamin b12. Organs are also full of vitamins, but most people don't eat those.
Actually, Tim Cook said:

Oh, I understand your question now. From an European perspective, there is hardly any reason to hold our governments standards as having the moral grounds to establish what's the most efficient way to act in ethical issues like this. Perhaps relative to the USA, yes, so you could be correct that certain government's ineptitudes have a correlation with how creative people get to get heard.

Either way, the whole question of dealing with ethics from the efficiency perspectice is one that bothers me and a whole discussion in itself.
> If somebody attacks somebody else and hurts themselves in the process and they both end up needing a new kidney and only one transplant is available, who gets it?

bad analogy, because in this case it's more like one person's kidney got destroyed and the other lost a lung.

You want different types of specialists to deal with victims vs bullies. Assigning the wrong type will probably just make things worse.

> Instead of punishing robbers, why don't we just give them enough money to live luxurious lives so they aren't tempted to rob any more people?

One could argue that's part of the idea behind Universal Basic Income. That if your needs are being met by UBI, you really "shouldn't" have a reason to need to rob, so at that point they don't have any excuses. (I have skepticism about that in practice, but I get the concept at least.)

As someone who lost and kept off half their body weight: I very much support the "eat the same thing all the time" meal plan. A lot of people who get to be as big as I was are food addicts, so the less time you spend thinking about food, the better. The less time you spend in a grocery store looking at food, the better. The less food you have hanging out in your fridge, the better.
It is different priorities.

Chinese population (by an overwhelming majority) views HK protesters as rich ungrateful bitches throwing a tempter tantrum.

HK population views mainland Chinese as the unwashed masses that are trying to take away what HK population thinks is rightfully theirs.

The numbers are not on the side of HK. The West is ought to understand that there's HK protesters do not have a winning hand, even with the support from the West.

>> Driverless cara will probably be safer statistically but they’ll simultaneously make errors a human wouldn’t, so some people are going to die in what will seem like really dumb ways.

Statistically it would take tens or hundreds of years before we can know whether self-driving cars are safer than human-driven cars:

Key Findings

∙ Autonomous vehicles would have to be driven hundreds of millions of miles
and sometimes hundreds of billions of miles to demonstrate their reliability
in terms of fatalities and injuries.

∙ Under even aggressive testing assumptions, existing fleets would take tens
and sometimes hundreds of years to drive these miles — an impossible
proposition if the aim is to demonstrate their performance prior to
releasing them on the roads for consumer use.

∙ Therefore, at least for fatalities and injuries, test-driving alone cannot
provide sufficient evidence for demonstrating autonomous vehicle safety.

From:

Driving to Safety

How Many Miles of Driving Would It Take to Demonstrate Autonomous Vehicle Reliability?

Do you think what's going on inside US politics is the same in China? I mean, have you ever heard about Americans getting fired because of supporting protest? Or is there anything similar to the situation in Hong Kong?
I think this comparison is from an Economic point of view and how Oil is directly equal to money. And the way the world's economy is pushed with Oil.

But important factor to consider is that data without context is probably useless; though you can develop the context over time. Amazon has been collecting data and using it to optimize how to suggest more productsto be bought as a group.

And probably that's why it might the Oil of future; even if we can argue about the statement from both sides.

The reason for Google, Facebook being free is that data is Oil for them. And they are using it the best they can to get more of it.

> you see their actions and rationalizations adopted by not technically sociopaths and narcissists

Yup, that's the real issue. The sociopaths and narcissists may only be 2% to 4% of the population but those are the actual bullies, so to speak - those who are most clever at manipulating others into adopting similar behaviors and attitudes. Thus some youths who seem to be bullies may actually be victims of manipulation by somebody they look up to, but they will stop their behavior once the attitude around them changes for the better.
What I'm talking about isn't infrastructure, it's the entire system architecture and workflow. Code architecture is a part of that. If you design your code architecture, and then look at system architecture, your code architecture may have to change. I'm suggesting to do them at the same time.

Say you did your code architecture, and you've been writing code for 3 months. The security architect comes by and takes a look at your work, and announces that your design is inherently flawed; you need to fix some token-passing thing that's tied deeply into your app to support some system they have to audit company apps. You end up doing rework for a sprint or 2 to fix it. This in particular may not apply to you, but there are hundreds of examples like this.
I feel like a better suggestion is to put your money to good use, you can be the one to invest/donate/spend that money where it can do good.

From what I gather there are essentially four outcomes to the review: accepted, accepted after minor modifications, rejected pending resubmission after substantial modifications, fully rejected.

Minor modifications shouldn't require a new full review cycle, maybe just the editor takes a look, or just some quick check with reviewer to see if they accept the change.

Rejecting pending resubmission is for larger changes which require a more thorough review, but the journal is still interested in publishing the paper. This might be a section that requires more explanation, for example more details on how samples were controlled for other factors.

Also as mentioned a full rejection doesn't automatically mean the paper is rubbish, it could just be the journal doesn't consider it a good fit or similar. It's not uncommon for a paper to go through multiple rejections before getting published.

At least that's my understanding based on a close friend who publishes papers, feel free to correct me.

Compared to an Axis-style network webcam with recording to SD card, the Ring doorbell offers the following:

1. The Ring doorbell costs less. In my country, £89 for a basic Ring vs £203 for a basic Axis webcam.

2. The Ring is battery powered, which is only possible because it doesn't have to run its radio and CPU all the time in order to be a web server. Being battery-powered makes allows self-installation by a much wider audience.

3. If someone steals your webcam with microsd recording, they steal the video of themselves doing it at the same time; with the Ring that is not the case.

4. IoT devices are famously insecure, and network webcams famous for being inadvertently made public. The Ring doorbell doesn't need you to open a port in your firewall (exposing it to the public internet) to be remotely monitored.

With that said, personally I still wouldn't buy a Ring doorbell.

You can live on products of the cow, you don't need to eat the cow. There are plenty of religious groups that are strictly vegetarian, and people have been following those diets for hundreds or thousands of years. For example Jainism followers don't eat meat or fish, and certain vegetables, but do eat cheese and other dairy products.

it's quite obvious that you didn't understand the code you looked at, because you would have noticed that the bench code does not use any of the "non-features" (in any lib).

> My dream is if ever got rich from tech or won the lottery, is to travel full time.....But I feel like living an alternative lifestyle would subject me to harassment at some point

I quit my job and spent 2 years driving from AK to Argentina, then again to spend 3 years driving around Africa. I'm now a full-time nomad, and doing everything I can to never sit at a desk again (freelance writing, photography, published books, etc.)

I certainly get some good interactions at "first world" borders, but nothing really bad. When I drove into the US on my way to Argentina it was obvious the officer simply didn't believe I was going to drive into Mexico. Even with the map on my hood [1].

Recently I drove into the US with my passport full of visas from 35 different African countries (even Sudan, Congo, Nigeria, etc.). The border guard flipped through it and said "Wait, WHAT do you do?".. utterly confused. I told the whole story, showed him the new map on my hood and again he was just confused. Friendly, but confused.

I was detained once at the border coming in by bus from Canada... the border guard was not convinced I was not going to stay. After 5 hours they let me speak and I mentioned I had a ticket out of the country (flying out of LAX like a week later).. when I showed the ticket the officer said "Where's Sydney?"

It's all good.

Serious question to ponder; why is it that these "liberal types" (to put a loose boundary around the "left") are not able to understand that literally nothing interferes with implementing any of the things they say they want in their own lives?

They want to pay higher taxes … fine, pay the IRS more taxes. They literally accept donations to pay down the debt.

They want better health care … fine, pay for the higher quality healthcare plans.

They want "free education" … fine, sign up to have your income tax be 20% higher all your life for "free" education.

They want to "help" brown people … fine, send all your money to their governments. There are many ways you can give your money to the corrupt governments of third world countries … or better yet, just bypass that process and deposit your money into the "Swiss bank accounts" of the various corrupt officials that will end up with your money.

They want to import foreigners and "immigrants … fine, you take them into your house, you pay for their salary that a citizen was deprived of and you also pay for the social services like education of their children and the "free" healthcare they receive.
Yes you can survive, and I did say people have lived off animal products. There are no vegans cultures from hundreds or thousands years ago. The vegetarians still had to consume animal products to get nutrients.

You don't have to eat the cow, but it would be a waste to give it to the dogs when it dies. And you would thrive more if you did eat it.

To be clear. The people who bought it on steam got to keep it. But it didn’t change the fact it’s a shitty move on epics part. People on Kickstarter never got what they funded as they paid for steam and the game never arrived to steam because of epic. So so trying to defend epics shitty tactics.

I was in Rwanda this time last year. After visiting ~30 African countries by that point I can say that it's an extremely refreshing change.

There is a bustling tech sector in Kigali - they're making iPhone apps, designing and building hardware, etc. etc. There is a huge community of entrepreneurial younger people. People are extremely well educated, friendly and kind. I never saw a single piece of trash in the entire country.

Why do you call that freedom? You can be in a good prison and live without doing anything, having good healthcare and food. But it's not freedom. Freedom is being able to do whatever you want. Some freedom might not be OK, for example freedom to kick other people or freedom to own slaves. Some freedom is good to have like freedom to shot thieves in your house.

You got me till this point, and you prove we should be cautious about such tech. I live in one of the richest cities in the world (certainly one of most expensive), and the amount of 10+ year old cars is huge. Go to country side, and they become majority, with many clocking 15+ years.

For physical mirror to fail, you need to break it or completely lose it, and then its obvious whats the situation. Electronics have more components that can fail, and as an IT guy, I know what can will eventually fail (ie how many digital cameras work flawlessly after 10 years of daily use?). Last thing I need is to have an potentially unreliable critical safety feature in the car.

I cut sugar, not that I have much of a sweet tooth, aside from a small juice in the morning after skipping.

After only a month of no added sugar (not keto or atkins or similar as I like beans, good bread, oats, vegetables, but other than that no sugar added) when going for a lunch with a friend we shared a Coke, just a 330ml tin, between two. The lunch was nice, stewed chicken, mushrooms, broccoli, good conversation. When stepping outside, it felt like I'd had a full bottle of wine, just from that little amount of Coke.

I got off the subway early and walked the next few stops to walk off the Coke.
