Having started to occasionally edit stuff on Wikipedia over the pandemic, I have a newfound understanding of the reasons for deleting stuff. As a casual user, you will, by definition, tend to see the most-trafficked, well-maintained pages.

Prices going up doesn’t mean everyone can continue to consume as much as before if they are willing to pay for it. Nor is food perfectly fungible across continents. Your American family may just be able to outspend someone in Senegal, even

Sure, but why should people‘s income decide who lives and who dies? I’d say let’s kill all the psychopaths first. Like those fantasizing about mass starvation. On a less violent note, every country has seen birth rates decline as it became

It speaks directly to the point that "they" decide to waste money and then turn around and get it from the taxpayer. As long as "they" is the EU, they cannot decide to get more money from the taxpayer. If "they&quot

"They" in the end, didn't want to. It was an internal struggle, and the law won.

Note that Germany failed to buy Pegasus in 2017 because their in-house lawyers decided that it would be illegal to use. After a lot of back-and-forth, they did eventually sign a contract for modified version in 2021. That version was suppos

You'd be wrong. All of the available evidence points to a tiered system, with some countries spying on everyone, some spying on very specific other countries, and some just not doing much at all. Yes, you can claim that that last categ

> The IYI pathologizes others for doing things he doesn’t understand without ever realizing it is his understanding that may be limited. Rare for Taleb to show this level of self-awareness.

I hate the guy just as much as anyone can, but I would consider the possibility that they staged a photo op and cleared it for release.

The two statements aren’t contradictory. It may well be that modern agricultural processes require the use of these varieties.

Why don't you enhance your understanding by, for example, reading the article? Soil depletion is mentioned, among other things. But it isn't so much a deficiency of nutrients as a disruption of the uptake of those nutrients. Water

Meh… If some data about me is listed on a website nobody ever sees, I don’t care what sound a tree falling in the wood makes. This isn’t a binary issue. Removing data from Google will usually have 90 % of the effect of removing it everywher

I believe it is implied that the state could buy all those bonds to eliminate the problem. And that it would cost a bit too much to be worth it.

Every state has a sex ed curriculum, plus every school system outside the US. By any measure: teenage pregnancies, STD rates, self-harm and suicide in connection with gender identity issues, anti-gay and anti-lesbian violence, sexual satisf

Disney doesn't have much trouble: see headline. And why are you advocating for the corrupt, ineffective, possibly illegal, and cowardly alternative? You think Disney is entirely inept? Does their courage somehow scare you? "Please

Disney's public statement is worth far more than any donation. It's an American icon, a local behemoth, and a cultural institution.

Note that we are talking about an increase from 150 to 190 here. And the 150 in 2020 was actually lower than 2019, so it may just be regression to the mean. And it's significant in exactly one age/gender combination, of about a do

The rise started with 15 % in 2020. More or less 0 % were vaccinated at the end of that year. In 2021 incidences rose another 10 % or so. To ascribe this rise to vaccinations and just shrug at the year before is... creative. FWIW something

Yeah, that’s the stereotype of the fighter jock or, as someone on HN once put it, „fixed-wing enthusiast“. A man (always), flying with enthusiasm, intuition, not too much alcohol, direct controls etc. It’s bullshit, of course. The archetype

The German version is at https://github.com/corona-warn-app . It was expensive (18 million Euros I believe, but may be wrong). But other than that, it was excellent from start to finish. First release a few weeks after the A
