Because those grazing lands don’t support crops. They support a little bit of grass and in their natural state had herds of animals not too different from cattle grazing on them.

People don’t seem to grok this.

On land with little rain you can raise animals where you give a huge expanse per animal. They eat grass and fertilize and participate in the ecosystem.

If you wanted to do anything else with the land you would have to irrigate nearly every drop of water and many places you can’t actually do that at all.

Dollar General's business model is to service areas that bigger stores won't. By definition, then, since there are many more small towns than large towns in USA, Dollar General must open 10x more stores than Walmart...

Yes, this is the problem. Unprofessional, low-quality employees think employment is "king of the hill," when really it's "tides lift all boats."

It only takes 1 person in a company of a hundred to completely destroy it. Allow one psychopath into your company and it'll go bankrupt or otherwise defunct within just a couple years.

These folks are afraid. They know their performance is substandard. They exist by hiding that low quality work from management.

When someone like you goes in there and makes a 3 hour report a real time dashboard, you can be sure management heard all manner of reasons why it took so long and that's just how things are and their expectations are unreasonable if they want it faster, they can try to hire someone, but there's no one who can do it better.

Until you. And then it's better and now their lives are worse, so you pay for it. You have to be gotten rid of because you are proof they their work isn't up to snuff. You came in and landed right on top of the hill. You were the king, so they had to knock you off.

So getting in to Stanford is harder than graduating with a STEM degree? Doens't say much about the vaunted reputation of that school. I went to a midwest state university. Getting in was easy. Completing my CS degree took a lot of work. I cannot imagine any way I could have bullshitted my way through that.
That's a lot of bullshit words to justify "meat taste's good".

We're not animals. We can't have it both ways in the ideological spectrum of how we both perceive and interact with the world. Whatever the fuck Ben Franklin said is largely meaningless when you take a few minutes to compare it against the world and reality he inhabited to the one we live in today.

Two things:

Cattle are slaughtered within 1-2 years and they are held in feed lots for 1/3 of that time.

Cattle slaughtered for veal are caged and do not live in any humane conditions.

Good sleep is so underrated. What really helped me was getting sunlight early in the day, at 7am or so for 10 minutes. This makes sure that I get sleepyheaded right after 9pm.

Andrew huberman has a great lecture on it, and it's fascinating how light exposure during early mornings can have such a drastic positive affect on sleep.
I completely understand why somebody would consider eating meat unethical. I also understand that people disagree about ethics all the time and it's often not a huge deal.

I know people who feel this way about the ethics of meat and I respect them and their opinions but I don't follow their standards and I don't think they mind, I remain friends with them.

You call it defending oneself but there is nothing to defend. So it struck me as "being defensive".
>If you really care about the planet why are you buying processed anything?

If I'm really going to be dead within 100 years, why am I doing anything?

Lots of reasons, but the easiest is because it's more enjoyable than the alternative. Who cares if a plant burger is heavily-processed? I like it and I don't have to think about whatever died to bring me my meal.

Yes, it would be better if I grew my own lentils and only ate homemade dal. But that's not realistic for most people, and from a health and environmental perspective, it seems like it's hard to do worse than red meat.

Is there some reason I should be using 'acceptable' trauma research and treatment practice in psychiatry for my past trauma, when by all measures I have been living an 'ordinary' and 'upwardly moving' life for years without such treatment?

Can your 'acceptable' practices explain how a man can sit in a street motionless while he burns to nothing?

If no, then perhaps it is the case that there is more to this life than what has been deemed 'acceptable'. I don't find modern psychiatry to be acceptable for myself whatsoever. If others deem it a help, then great.

If yes, I am very interested in knowing more.

Oh, I remembered this psychological technique: regression. Thanks for the brain jog.

I've had issues with most bootable USB creation tools, including Rufus, particularly with CentOS (even though it's listed as known working!). I'm not sure whose fault this is, really. I think the problem is that the tools just try to be too "smart" instead of simply dd-ing the bytes over. The best tool I've found for this on Windows is Rawrite32.
Note: it's Windows only.
Google also has a TOTP fallback, which solves the "I want my second factor to be my laptop" perfectly.
In part because the cloud is just someone else's computer, and someone else's computer runs somewhere and is thus subject to human civilization and laws.
Yeah that was maybe not the best example. Although I did explain it to him a couple times and he still didn't get it. He also didn't do his share of work but of course took credit for the accomplishments of the group in his college applications.

What I was trying to point it is that these students used these supposedly impressive accomplishments in the college applications when really they didn't do much at all.
I was wrong, I glossed over the "migrating fish" reference here:

> But Central Valley lawmakers are hopping mad that the governor didn’t declare drought statewide, because they want the rules bent to allow the opposite — more water from reservoirs to grow their crops, less for urban residents and migrating fish.
I don't care so much about keywords like `fn` personally; I was referring more to:

- `let` in a statement language (as opposed to let-binding expressions)

- comma-separating patterns (as opposed to using pipes to mimic BNF, also potentially causing confusion vs. tuple/record constructors)

- whitespace rather than semicolons for sequencing (though I'd imagine others might disagree on that front).

Some of that overlaps with Rust, to be sure -- I didn't pick up on those similarities at first.
The Windows 10 downloader makes a bootable USB as an option. Certainly not useful for early versions of Windows, but works fine for W10.

Well, I agree that Soviet Union was failure from top to bottom (non-market economy and dictatorship can get you just so far). But with this said, it was possible to get excellent education in Soviet Union, and (with a lot of hard work) it was available to anyone.

Yeah, this really does not sound like an energy efficient way to modulate down.

It's similar to some of the ways you see here:
https://cascousa.com/compressed-air-101/types-of-compressors...

As for fewer moving parts and less maintenance, probably not gonna win on that.
The state you want already exists.
If you get a rotary screw, you are basically just going to
replace oil and filters every so often until the air end dies.
For a hobbyist, maybe never.

You might never run it for the 8000 hours the oil lasts or the filters last.
If you ran it 3 hours a day, it would take 7 years :)

If you want simplicity and less moving parts, and the ability to fix them easily, you can get a rotary vane compressor.

They can't be modulated down as well using a VFD as you can a rotary screw (there is a minimal speed at which the vanes seal properly due to centrifugal force) , but they are ridiculously simple and have very few moving parts. They are also easily repairable.

Until it literally falls apart, you will just need to replace filters and oil every so often, and some carbon blades every so often (50k+ hours) or so of usage. The compressor itself will probably last 100k-200k hours, and so, again, for a hobbyist, may easily outlive you.

It's just a motor, connected to a slightly offset spinning circle with blades (so that as it rotates, the offset causes it to form progressively smaller chambers).

> I feel you. I stopped eating meat for 40 years for the same reason. But... they are on the same food chain we are, and they’d eat us in a heartbeat, right?

Herbivorous ruminants like cows would never eat you, and would generally never harm you unless provoked. Breeding intelligent lifeforms in a bespoke way to murder them for cash — whatever the reason or creature involved — is diabolically evil. If you do this for a living, you’re a merchant of death in my book.
I can’t wait till all cars use positively reinforced computer vision to slam the brakes when anticipating human impact, coupled with intelligent inferences from gps intersection coordinate, senses the red light or stop sign, lack of flow of traffic from surrounding vehicles in your direction and movement in opposite direction.

That is until we get L4(?) autonomous cars. People should not be getting hit by cars in 2021, why is this not solved yet?! C’mon car manufacturers, use your billions in revenue to solve these ‘human driver error resulting in death’ class of problems instead of distracting drivers even more by removing usable tactile buttons for affordance-less touchscreens and shaving off a few cents in production costs.

With the disclaimer than I'm primarily a Linux user and may be missing something from Microsoft, isn't it weird that there are no tools for this functionality that come with Windows? I've tried a few times through the life of Windows 10 to make installer USB drives from inside Win10 with only microsoft tools but never found anything that worked.

Rufus comes through for me again and again, but why do we need to download a 3rd party tool for even basic configs? Nothing fancy, just a windows installer on USB.
Replacing the motherboard shouldn't mean losing your data. But it does if you own an Apple.
My first day of work many many years ago I did the usual (for me at least) and stopped by each office (before open floorplans were widespread) to introduce myself. The very first office the door was cracked so I knocked and slowly opened it a bit more to give a friendly "hello" and the guy immediately grabbed his desktop inkjet printer (one of those old half dome Epsons) and hurled it at me, crashing at my feet due to cables holding it back... That was one hell of a start. A wild next couple months followed. This post/comment gave me a nice flashback to it! Ty :D
Rufus has issues with some early UEFI implementations and may not work at all. I haven't had a problem with current hardware, however.
This wasn't what I expected based on the title. It's probably a concept that's hard to categorize.

I have had only one full-time paid job so far, so I don't know how to assess the suggestion. But it's a thought provoking piece if you actually read the article and not just the title.
You would have a point if we were talking about farmers growing staples to feed the local community, but we're not. We're talking about farms that are growing luxury crops (such as grapes, pistachios, almonds) for export. It's perfectly reasonable to ask if this is wise to export water intensive luxury crops in a state that's experiencing shortages.
I think this is an orthography issue rather than a phonology issue.

Peloton to Recall All Treadmills
It's not just about explaining, it's about identity, ideology and activism.

To posit the issues as 'merely explaining' is kind of to strawman people's legit concerns.

CRT, for example, goes way beyond 'explaining' - on purpose.

If this were an in issue of merely 'explaining to people who systematic limitations might work' - and being sufficiently nuanced about it, then I think this whole thing would be a lot less controversial.

I think there's a way for us to talk to kids about the potentialities of systematic racism without using the language of activism.

> that the c-suite would be smart enough and savvy enough to see this, and even be incentivized to do something about it

Some do better than others. But ultimately it’s the same behaviors in different packaging. Everyone is competing for face time with the chiefs. Everyone is trying to sound the smartest and most insightful. Everyone has to critique or ask for follow up action items; otherwise the meeting was a waste of time.

The chiefs like to be around people the relate with. Let’s bond on our shared interest in watches, sports, travels, homes, cars, etc. and it adds pressure to the rising class of veeps to like all of those things as well. After all, what else are you going to do with your bonus?
Personally I don't see that as a bad thing. I care more about ownership, I'd much rather be responsible for a project instead of just tickets.
Same, although unetbootin in has been the most reliable for me.

What places did you work?
I think there is still value in developing a coping mechanism, or the few days spent in this culture will change your worldview for the worse, even if it’s just a bit.

I spent years in a toxic primary school - things were tried to improve it, but some kids were still being bullied constantly. Back then, private schools in my area were hardly an option, and other schools were a legal hassle to switch to. Sometimes you need to learn to cope.
I grew up in an area with "traditional" slaughter techniques. Basically a hog is tied down and its throat is slit, while alive, the animal's heart pumps the blood out into a bucket. This ensures the blood doesn't remain in the meat, which makes it taste gamey. The screaming and thrashing of the pig will haunt you for days but the meat definitely tastes better.

Anyways, I dislike the utilitarian/primitist argument because you can justify any number of cruelties with an appeal to nature. Cats play with their food all the time so why can't we torture animals for fun?

Humans should ponder the morality of killing animals because we have the will and ability to do so.

Is this that same project that only ran on old versions of firefox for awhile? It's was such a great free tool, glad to see it still kicking around.
The preparation may matter. For example, I don’t put ketchup and mustard on my burgers, which will probably disguise a lot of the processed legume taste. I don’t use strongly flavored sauces.

For reasons I don’t understand, some of the most satisfying unintentionally vegetarian food I’ve eaten has been in the agriculture regions of the US, like the Palouse, where legumes are ubiquitous local crops. Popular vegetarian cooking has never picked up those recipes, which are much better to my taste than what passes as a lot of vegetarian fare. I’ll go for months as a vegetarian but I cook my own food, leaning heavily on the cuisine of regions that aren’t vegetarian per se but nonetheless produce surprisingly satisfying vegetarian dishes based on legumes. I’ve convinced far more meat eaters with these dishes than with fake meat.

It’s a marketing gap. A lot of vegetarian cooking is biased towards a sweet/sour/starchy flavor profile; people that don’t like those flavors in their food generally are on their own, the alternatives are not well represented.
Promotions are typically group decisions making politics a requirement.
Nice, how does the reliability compare to unetbootin ?
This kind of statement always makes me feel funny. It's true that algorithmic complexity is the most important part, you always have to measure, and micro optimisations are often not worthwhile. But this type of statement seems a lot stronger than that.

I'm a graphics programmer working in game development and most of my time is spent on our performance task force. I spend a lot of time thinking about the performance impact of things I write and revisiting things I've written to improve their performance.

My job would have been easier if more people spent a bit more time considering the performance impact of their solutions, as well.

I've been pondering the problem this plays into. It's likely that at least some portion of the remaining 20% of commenters were influenced by the fakes. Those people could see the techcrunch article as bogus, fake news.

I wonder how we can somehow slow (slower than fact) disinfo and test information for credibility. People's GPUs are gonna spin up an information hellscape.

Where can I find the solutions that show promise so I can advocate for them? The outlook is depressing.
My high level guess is, you would do some linear cost minimization in deciding what are edges over time when doing things the traditional way. The neural network can handle nonlinearities for the optimization so you can get better results for some set of inputs (in this case, some class of anime images)
Really appreciate this perspective and the info. But I do think we shouldn't let perfection be the enemy of good here. Anything that moves the needle in the right direction should be encouraged.
You know how I know you don’t understand how R&D works?
As a scientist (not in anthropology), the feel of Sapiens was very unscientific. All assertions were made with minimum citation, and couched in "relevatory" language that always makes me feel that the author is hiding something.

If you want Sapiens but without these problems, try "Against the Grain" by James C. Scott. Covers much of the same material, but with many more citations from reputed journals and academics.
i don’t understand why you think this is a huge gotcha. most vegans are oriented around harm reduction, not absolute minimization. otherwise, they’d just kill themselves. there’s no ethical consumption under capitalism, etc.

either way, the causal chain between me and the rotisserie chicken is far shorter than between me and the tiny bit of cobalt in my iphone.
I see your point.

Given their goal is to show that we have reasons to be more optimistic about the world, I think the quiz setup makes sense. It highlights that we can't even distinguish between optimistic 10% and pessimistic 50% for issues we regularly hear about in the news. I'm exaggerating here, but the 50% would have been obviously wrong but isn't because we didn't look at the data at all, instead made an assumption based on our perceptions. This hard hit is a good thing and fulfills the goal of the quiz.

But yes, choices of [1%, 10%, 20%] would likely make more people choose 10% than among [10%, 30%, 50%] when 10% is the right answer. Thanks for the insight.
