There’s a massive difference between what exists now and what can exist if we build it.

63% of protein and 82% of calories come from 23% of agricultural land, which is itself 51% of habitable land, which is itself 71% of land, which is 29% of the surface. That agricultural land mostly isn’t greenhouses, which are far more productive than open ground, but even greenhouses are not the most productive food sources we know how to make.

Even without changing the ratio of farmland where greenhouses or better are used (a cunning trick if you can do it, given you’d need something like a greenhouse or aeroponics to turn uninhabitable land into farm land), that takes us up to 7.7-fold increase in carrying capacity for pure land use and 26.6-fold if you add in potential aquaculture.

Most of us don’t have a reason to care more about efficient use of farmland. Some places do, which is why greenhouses, hydroponics, and aeroponics exist at all, but most of us don’t.

And then, separately from greenhouses (probably before but I don’t know how to account for it), there’s better crop choices, and finally GM crops.

I wonder if this is the same as modern Greek, where "if" can also mean "when". I.e. "When I invade, I will turn you out". "If".

A more literal translation would be "upon", which can have both meanings. "Upon arrival" can both mean "if he comes" or "when he comes".

Looks like the original said "ἂν ἐμβάλω εἰς τὴν Λακωνικήν, ἀναστάτους ὑμᾶς ποιήσω", which is the word for "if", but I don't know if the meaning of "when" was there in ancient Greek too.

Some people think they're very clever playing dumb with this stuff when they know exactly what's going on. It's one of the most insipid responses. I've dealt with it a lot.

>You're equally unable to do chores, hobbies, have fun, or even finish watching a TV series.

ADHD does affect everything in my life, but I don't relate to this part. For me, it primarily manifests as there being an immense amount of inertia required to do things I don't want to do. I have no issue doing things I intrinsically want to do.

If it's a TV show, hobby, or fun-having activity that I really like, then I'm perfectly able to do them. If I don't like them, then, yeah, they're probably never getting done, or only getting done in a very pathological way. Procrastinating 3 months of work until the day before the deadline, procrastinating cleaning something for a year until someone has to come over to visit, procrastinating taxes until an hour before midnight on tax day. It's the same story every time.

If it's a hobby or TV show I don't like, then I have no reason to continue it. My ADHD and motivation signal to me what what I actually do and don't want to do during my fleeting period of existence. I feel no guilt about dropping something like that if it can't hold my attention. I only feel guilt when it's something I really should be doing, like work, paperwork, etc., and especially things where I know I'm losing lots of money by not doing it.

There are plenty of things I want to want to do, and those things will never get done. But if I actually want to do something, with no meta-layers, then there's no issue for me.

In the UK and for vanilla at least, 'extract' must be extracted from the vanilla pod with a solution of alcohol; 'essence' is commonly used to market synthetic vanillin products. (I don't know if synthetic saffron even exists? For colouring purposes a mixture of turmeric & chilli powder - deggi mirch has particular vibrance - can be a good approximation for much less cost, but for flavour?)

I believe in general 'extract' refers to alcohol extraction, in support of that, Wikipedia says of the US:

> Natural vanilla flavoring is derived from vanilla beans with little to no alcohol. The maximum amount of alcohol that is usually present is only 2–3%. Therefore, by FDA regulations it cannot be called an extract.

If you write something like

int a;
...
int b = a
if (a + 1 > b){
foo();
}

Then compilers will use the fact that integer overflow is undefined behavior. This allows the compiler to assume the `if` statement will always be true. And hence it removes this check.

This isn't just the compiler removing a check the programmer wanted. This could occur because of constants, where other constants make the check meaningful. It could also occur after in-lining a specific function call.

Really, the only case where this optimization would be bad is if the author was trying to detect overflow. Sadly, detecting if something would cause undefined behavior in C code is hard. Because you cannot try the thing.

No where in the either the saying nor the lesson that have been taught around it is the position that a child or anyone is "wrong" for the feeling hurt if they are insulted. The purpose is to take those feelings, understand them, deal with them in a healthy way, and not let them return as anger, resentment, or worse. To be "the bigger person" emotionally and to view those that would use verbal insults as social outcast, to be mentally strong enough to walk away and dissociate with people that do not respect you. To no engage or "meet them at their level" by just tossing verbal insults at each other, etc

Also round the concept is a respect for free expression, to teach that someone may say something you dislike or you feel is offensive / harmful and you need to be able deal with that. As a culture in America anyway we used to place free expression, even "harmful expression" above all else, this is something I absolutely agree with. Nations, and culture that attempt to regulated "acceptable speech" with so called "hate speech" law is not something I can ever support or understand.

The no #1 complaint I've seen among women online is that they get routinely used and ghosted. This suggests that when they try to sort through their hundreds of matches they tend to select for men with a lot of options who treat them as disposable.

Interestingly a lot of them also complain that physical attractiveness of the man isn't necessarily a good predictor of getting used and ghosted.

This sounds to some like a better problem to have but I don't think it necessarily is.

The best fix might be an objective feedback mechanism on dates that future swipers can see. The women who filter these men out will consequently pay more attention to the other men.

Of course, people will try to game it like nothing else so it would need to be a good mechanism that had inbuilt protections against this.

Schopenhauer is instructive here. First he argues that suffering exceeds pleasure in the world:

Unless suffering is the direct and immediate object of life, our existence must entirely fail of its aim. It is absurd to look upon the enormous amount of pain that abounds everywhere in the world, and originates in needs and necessities inseparable from life itself, as serving no purpose at all and the result of mere chance. Each separate misfortune, as it comes, seems, no doubt, to be something exceptional; but misfortune in general is the rule.[0]

He defines pain as the 'positive' thing in our lives, pleasure being negatively marked by the absence of pain. He remarks that when we are of perfect bodily health, it is the stone in the shoe that makes its presence known, not the 1 000 000 other things that are going well. He goes on to say that if men didn't suffer ('turkeys fly around ready-roasted' -- paraphrase) they would kill themselves out of boredom.

I've found the "Penguin Great Ideas" translations of his work to be brilliant. It must be mentioned that his views on women are unfortunate, and some insight into why they are so warped might be gained by looking into his life.

edit: this aligns with the Vedantic definition of pleasure, as the cessation of mental agitation, where mental agitation is thought and its further expression as desire.
Feminine beauty in Thailand allowed transgender people to have their own platform where they are able to challenge stereotypes and claim cultural recognition. Miss Tiffany's Universe is a beauty contest that is opened to all transgender women. Beginning in 1998, the pageant takes place every year in Pattaya, Thailand during May. With over 100 applicants, the pageant is considered to be one of the most popular transgender pageants in the world. Through beauty pageants, Thailand has been able to promote the country's cosmetic surgery industry, which has had a massive increase in medical tourism for sex reassignment surgery. According to the Miss Tiffany's Universe website, the live broadcast attracts record of fifteen million viewers. The winner of the pageant receives a tiara, sash, car, grand prize of 100,000 baht (US$3,000), equivalent to an annual wage for a Thai factory worker. The assistant manager director, Alisa Phanthusak, stated that the pageant wants kathoeys to be visible and to treat them as normal

> same with h which can either mean hour or the planck constant.

To be fair, I think the probability of a normal person using 'h' to mean the Planck constant is low enough that "2h" meaning "2 hours" is going to be right ~100% of the time.

(Although, actually, having just learnt that `units` comes from Bell Labs, they might well have been using 'h' for Planck constant more than for hours.)

The olympic requirements are already having completely female hormone levels for 2 years.

In fact, the limit for testosterone is significantly lower than for cis women, being a significant disadvantage for trans athletes, which is why in all the decades trans athletes have been allowed, you haven't seen any.

Cis women with higher levels of testosterone, e.g. caster semenya, are already dominating the olympics, having natural hormone levels that'd be an immediate disqualification for any trans athlete.

> That was recently "added" so that certain groups could claim immunity from being deemed racism

> There's no "power" component to racism. That was recently "added"

No it wasn’t particularly recent in the history of the term “racism”; The popular expression “prejudice plus institutional power” is more than 50 years old (1970), the idea probably older, and the word “racism” itself is less than 120 years old.

> The saddest part is that the USA is the least racist country in the history of the world

The saddest part is that people believe that as an article of faith.

We were in the era of least concern about racism around 20 years ago, which happened to correspond to the end of an expansion that unlike those since had not just strong aggregate numbers bit decent distributional features on both income quintile and race dimensions.

Now we are talking real science, finally!
Note that this post was heavily discussed and disputed. The question "is undefined behavior treated correctly?" is rather contentious.

It certainly is the case that most compiler writers have decided this is okay. And I personally tend to agree with them.
Isn't python style more about its built-in comprehensions and much less about generic functions?

[fn x for x in ... if ...]

I know there's a `map` in, say, `multiprocessing.Pool`, but using that doesn't feel as natural as a comprehension in python or `map` in, say, Haskell or Kotlin.
If it was undefined, then anything could happen (nasal demons), but that would be silly: you wouldn't be able to safely call functions with multiple side-effecting arguments at all.

Unspecified means that you can't rely on the order of evaluation. "Anything" may not happen; the compiler controls the sequencing.
> What happened?

HR happened. At first HR is viewed as an afterthought and it doubles as an easy way to get women in your tech company.

But after some growth they usually get their hands on the power of hiring and firing people. It's just downhill from there.
One of the comments on the post is:

> One thing you could do in future is to url redirect any BunnyCDN url back to the clients original url, in essence disabling the CDN and getting your clients own hosts do what they were doing before they connected to BunnyCDN, yes it means our sites won't be as fast but its better than not loading up the files at all. I wonder if that is possible in technical terms?

Isn't this a horrible idea? If you use bunny, this would cause a major spike in the traffic and thus costs from your origin server.

> It degenerates to pretty much the same problem as Plurality voting, with maybe slightly better chance to get out of bad equilibriums in the long run.

No, in practice, because the top two contenders are likely to be two who are actually popular.

Plurality voting typically finds an equilibrium where the "two most popular" candidates are both extremists.

http://zesty.ca/voting/sim/ has some nice plots showing how the two most popular candidates change from centrists under approval voting to relative extremists under plurality. (I advocate IRV because when in doubt the voting system should degenerate into random chaos. 1 person in 100 shouldn't be a big enough margin to secure power as a principle either)
