This is true. If the US stopped giving tax breaks, money, to the corn guys, the hamburger would be a more expensive meal. Tax-payers are currently paying for people to get cardiovascular diseases.

You skipped over everything I've referenced and introduced a completely new narrative which has a simple rebuttal. We waste tons of grains to filter through cows' bodies. Cows produce waste, that waste is used to replenish the lan

Everyone is nitpicking bits and pieces of my answers. First the culture, then the sustainability, now health. Yes, I'm quite aware of the results, and authors of that large scale study, and the paper, the same authors published the all

This repetition is irrational. Given all the evidence there should be no meat, milk and eggs in the diet of developing countries. How does a growing economy cope with costs of heart disease, obesity, diabetes, cancer? WHO report said 50 gra

most of the USA cattle industry is based on dirt cheap soybean and corn, grass-fed beef is less sustainable and productive, you just cannot expect the same growth of cows body given that low protein intake, + the area needed is extremely hu

How much food does a cow need to filter to get that nutrient-dense liver? My estimate is that it's probably equivalent to several families dining on protein rich, nutrient rich grains throughout the whole year. Your arguments that appe

I'm not really waiting for him to become vegan. I'm waiting for him to become rational - veganism follows from that. He doesn't have to promote it, he just has to live it. I'm doing plenty of positive changes while waiti

Okay, I can definitely agree that this issue shouldn't be tackled by him -- there's too much emotion linked to diet and people seem to think their behavioural changes consisting of recycling and saving water are enough. But he, as

> We will not solve the problems of the meat industry by convincing people to eat less meat, asceticism never works as public policy. This is exactly what Bill Gates seems to want to do. https://www.gatesnotes.com/Books

I'm surprised Gates, for all his work in this field, has failed to recognise that we're burning up more food growing cattle and farming animals, than if we were to just eat the plant resources we use to feed the animals. It's

the nature of the label bias present in rnn - the weights aren't learned by estimating the loss over the whole input/output, they are localized... representation helps a lot for the decisions but if you trained rnn-s differently -

yeah, meat and milk, insane too. I'd rather not filter all that food through an animal, I'd gladly get the cheap quality nutrients up front.

Can't really understand how can a body of an animal, which wastes energy on heating itself, digestion, breathing, brain function, be efficient enough to produce antibodies. They must be pricing the antibodies like they're diamonds

yeah, it is a bit too black-and-white Microsoft is doing great stuff with it in finance, ads, and MR is doing amazing stuff.

I'm interpreting that the moment when Yahoo started falling apart was when they fired their whole vowpal wabbit team. If you can't value the state-of-the-art research being done in your labs, then you don't really value a thi

General skill of problem solving seems to stick with you forever. It's probably because most of your problem solving knowledge is your own invention. Whereas math and programming is your own invention if you solve all the problems by y
