> I find "an American stage actor who assassinated President Abraham Lincoln" to be a ridiculous introduction; it should read "an American assassin who killed President Abraham Lincoln"

One sentence fragment conveys that Lincoln was assassinated, the assassin's nationality, and the assassin's profession in 67 characters. The other conveys that Lincoln was assassinated and the assassin's nationality in 58 characters.

You like the wrong sentence. It's stylistically kooky, too: you need to point out that an assassin killed someone? That doesn't feel a little redundant to you?

> the man's profession is completely irrelevant

Hardly. But mostly it's strange that you'd want wikipedia to make that determination for you. It's not necessary.

> "Standard wikipedia formatting" being burying the lead is not a compelling defense.

Burying the lede would involve putting the information you're burying somewhere other than the middle of the first sentence of the first paragraph.
I like this idea a lot, but you will cause a lot of people to bounce at step 2. Or at least, that has been my experience over the years. No matter how much you reassure them that it is okay if stuff is confusing and in fact you'd like to know about it so you can fix it, they'll say "great" and then go radio silent 99% of the time.
> Sometimes, I wish that he was older and we could try MDMA therapy to build a compassionate bond... he's not even in elementary school yet; that's a great way to get your child taken away. But I wonder if one-sided interpersonal problems like this can be addressed by giving the adult MDMA and the child a placebo...

And which side do you think those one-sided interpersonal problems are on?

FWIW if you were my step parent and you seriously considered this to be a potential solution I wouldn't want you to be part of my life either. Maybe approach this from the other viewpoint: your stepchild does not want you in their life because they want someone else in their life instead. It never was about you in the first place.
A divorce is a much more healthy end to an abusive marriage than the other options. Your blanket statement "divorce is not a healthy end to a marriage" is patently false.
> Chickens are very good reactors for turning carbohydrates into protein.

The remnant wiring from my chemistry and biology classes tells me this is impossible. Did a little digging and no animal seems capable of this feat.[1] Chickens are fed a mix of cheap grains, like wheat and corn that are ~16% protein.[2] What they are is efficient at turning this protein into body mass/eggs.

Mining is unclean and they already have an operation where the best money is made from oil that comes out of the ground by itself after the well is drilled.

Here they are drilling into electricity reserviors and also taking their cut as it makes its way to consumers, with what they think is probably the best technology for the occasion too.

Who knows where that electricity is coming from but the math could probably be done and it may turn out this makes Shell just a little bit cleaner.

Not the person you're replying to, but I admit to characterizing your paper as "garbage" in another comment thread. Since you're inviting discourse, which I greatly appreciate, I'm compelled to reply.

1) To anyone who's studied algebra, it is clear that identities of the form LHS = RHS can be obtained by a nested application of transformations and substitutions in a consistent manner.

2) Of course, arriving at a new, insightful result often involves taking mundane steps. However, in this case, the new mathematical discoveries based on the output tableaus of your algorithm are hypothetical. Whereas the manuscript (and the authors) have already pocketed one of the premium accolades in sciences in the form of a Nature publication.

3) To drive the point above home, do you think the resulting mathematical insights themselves, without riding on the "AI" novelty aspect, would clear the bar for a Nature (or similar high-impact) publication? To be clear, I'm not a mathematican, but I believe the answer would be no. Contrast this with another AI/ML advance published in Nature quite recently: AlphaGo. Note how the gist of their paper, superhuman performance in Go, is a self-standing achievement that merely makes use of machine learning techniques.

So divorce is the healthy way to end a chronically unhappy marriage, yes. But surely we would agree that a happy marriage is healthier. This is a bit like saying that a pneumonectomy is a healthy end to one’s relationship with one’s lung.
Flipping with religion is totally missing the point though.

Anyone who visited a french school knows for a fact that it's anything but "neutral", rather actively hostile towards religion. Anything you asserted without evidence, can be dismissed without evidence.

The thing that I found incredibly strange about this analysis is that it is saying how older plant-based products from Morningstar and Gardein show it can be done cheaper.

What??? I don't even consider those older veggie products in the same category as Impossible and Beyond, mainly because I think they taste like shit. Well, not shit exactly, but for me an Impossible Burger can completely satiate my hunger for meat. Morningstar-type burgers do absolutely none of that for me.

>> Interestingly it doesn't even discuss the obvious solution: Let people who buy real meat pay for the externalities.

Are we going to have people paying for the "externalities" of all the products they consume?

For example, the people who buy a new phone every year or half (this habit causes a significant amount of pollution, so-called "e-waste"). The people who drive their car everywhere. The people who fly a few times a year. The people who use computers (more e-waste). The people who wear clothes made of synthetic fibers and use plastic-based implements. The people who burn wood, coal or oil for central heating. The people who use electricity (the major producer of greenhouse gas emissions is power production). The people who read books printed in paper produced by felled trees. The people who consume plant-based products whose production is responsible for deforestation, soil depletion, acidification of soil, etc etc. The people who eat fish. The people who eat soy (major contributor to the destruction of the Amazon rainforest). etc etc.

Are we only going to make meat eaters pay for their "externalities"?
>Marriages aren't supposed to end except in death.

What vows? Nobody in my family is religious, none of us made any claims about being together until death. And even then, lots of religions allow for divorce, even some sects of Christianity...
What about pricing in all externalities and letting the price equilibrium find a natural state be removing subsidies? People will only buy what they can afford.

Even if we ignore externalities and pollution costs, just stop outright subsidizing animal meat production so much. The reason meat is so cheap is because our government puts a lot of effort and money into making it cheap.

I don't know why more people aren't trying to sell this to the "free market" crowd as government overreach. The reality right now is that plant-based protein is gaining popularity despite the market being artificially biased against it in terms of price. Animal meat should cost more than it does, not just in the sense of "you're not paying for the true environmental cost", but also in the sense of, "you're not paying the actual monetary cost it takes to produce this product."

The US government throws billions of dollars into subsidizing meat and dairy production every year. Plant-based protein's growth is restricted in part because our food prices and production aren't determined just by the free market. That's not necessarily bad, but if we're going to be messing with the market anyway we could choose to subsidize other things.

And we could obviously do more than just lowering subsidies, I'm not saying we should ignore externalities or that we should just completely abandon all subsidies entirely. But I am saying we shouldn't pretend that meat actually costs what we see in the store. Meat is cheap because (for various reasons) as a society we've all collectively decided to spend tax money so that we can pretend that it costs very little to produce.
Marriage is one of a very few things in life humans undertake where they are asked to commit to do something “for life” that they have never done before. And their closest vantage point is likely their parents’ marriage.

I think it’s not so much people take it lightly, as that they have no idea of what they are getting into and what kind of work a modern marriage involves.

I think it's exactly the same as when purchasing anything in life. There are better and worse products. Many people will not buy a good product in terms of quality/price or value/price.

> Maybe the market size has become so large that less savvy users propel the unscrupulous companies to the top?

I would say that is the case for many products. Personal example: our family car is nearly 10 years or so old and still going strong, its reliable and good overall. We spent time researching good vehicles on the market then and bought the care after research, it paid off.
The price should go up according to the limited supply. That would naturally deflate demand and allow producers to invest in better processes.

I use categories (or collections, as EteSync[1] calls them), and colour code them to be able to identify things at a glance.

Right now I have:

- Personal

- Home (shared with my wife)

- Work

- Operations (shared with my team)

- Birthdays

- Holidays

But I do still have a problem organizing these categories correctly. Because I work at two companies, "Work" and "Operations" end up with events for both, with is not ideal. I could create one for each company, but then I would have four categories with weird names that would bug me and would create problems for future me, since I may need a "Support" category later or "Meetings."

For now though, this system is better than my old one of not having a calendar at all and missing important events, both at work and on a personal level, so I am counting it as a win.

You know, I wonder if a meat-based production system is a hedge against catastrophic/extinction events.

For example, let's say we have another potato-famine style event. Even a bio-engineered attack that takes out a crop or crops.

We could scale back meat production and use the crop capacity we use to support the "meat pyramid" to feed people directly until the crisis has passed.

Subsidizing crop capacity might make strategic sense. Sort of like how the just-in-time production pipeline ran into a wall with respect to mask shortages at the start of the pandemic.

>The protein yield per acre for soybeans vs mung beans is 6x.

While this is probably not too unfair for mung vs. soy, it's important to remember that yield per acre can't always be compared directly across crops that grow in different climates. Tropical climates can average well over 50" of rain per year while cold climates are wet if they hit 25", and the conservation of mass already affects cold-climate growth before taking into account any other factors.

Hence chickens, which can live almost anywhere.

Ha! I tried to explain this to parents who have only daughters. They would offer advice like "you need to give them more projects to do or you need to listen more to them." They would look on with a judging attitude as my sons would tear around playgrounds looking for sticks and rocks to arm their fort. Or they would play on the "outside" of playground structures. Imagine a 15 foot tall covered slide. They would climb on the outside of the slide - risking a serious fall.

I've already seen the tables turn. Parents with teenage daughters describe things that make me shudder. At least I now have the wisdom to not judge the parents.

It seems to me that the worst bullying behaviour that I hear in my social circle is perpetuated by teenage girls towards other teenage girls.
It is a healthy end, if the couple wasn't right from the beginning or if they became different people.

It's unfair to expect two humans to remain compatible their entire lives. We evolve massively. A person i would have married at 18 is not the same i'd marry now.

Which isn't to say that difficulty should be met with break ups. Rather, it's to say that some marriages should end. Both parties would be better off. Other marriages would be better served to have problems met, worked through, and the couple made stronger as a result.

It is a healthy end. If it's a bad marriage.
