It's not really about transportation. Cattle are transported live to slaughterhouses near the port, before global export. However leather "subsidies" the industry because it makes the cows more valuable: this is how it contri

It isn't quite true that cattle is the biggest driver of deforestation in the Amazon. The number one driver is soy. However, landowners will typically deforest and then place cattle on land for five years, before converting to soy to c

There's nothing stopping you doing that in Python. If it's important to you to define a point struct, do that, add a type annotation, and add mypy to your compile. When i used to work with C++ i would spend hours debugging compi

I hate the keyboard on my phone. For dialing a number, it's awful. Give me an old phone any day! But the smartphone does so many other things, I put up with it. That doesn't mean to say i wouldn't greatly welcome a smartphone

The parent comment said that the losses would be 21 times higher. My thought was, surely the losses on a short, liquid cooled cable were pretty negligible to begin with..

I love the style!! Satisfyingly retro, reminds me of the joy of early internet pages, before all these cookie-cutter super clean designs came along.

I'm happy to see AMP fade into irrelevance... What was the main driver of its decline? Why did Google stop aggressively pushing it?

Are the losses significant on such a short cable?

I have three counter points. First, my concern with technical innovation is that it will simply be exploited for increased output. If the process for making widgets is made twice as efficient, people will make twice the widgets and pollute

Exactly. I don't understand this. What's the half life of a URI? A year? Surely we're going to see a whole bunch of the links replaced with porn any day now..

This assumes some fixed, absolute "background" space through which the universe is moving; the idea being that you'll stay in the same position in "background" space but all of the things you care about (e.g the ear

Why the while "first stage, then commit" workflow though? Wouldn't it be simpler to just commit?

For all practical everyday use, this doesn't matter. Nobody has ever even checked my ID card has the same name as in the app, let alone scanned the QR code to verify. They just glance and that gives them though plausible deniability to

This is a great strategy. Kudos to Django for simplicity and stability!

This is a really great insight, and demonstrates where the "library book" example is lacking. Since Google is so vast, I can find a page of search hits to support any particular belief I might have, no matter how wild.

But you can also do that with recursion if failed: do_thing() This is covered in the Julia docs, where they argue recursion is more readable than goto https://sodocumentation.net/julia-lang/topic/5564/-goto-an

Yeah that's super interesting. Is an action morally any different to a lack of action? This is like the train trolley: where you can either phrase it as doing nothing, or pushing a lever. People apply much more stringent moral codes wh

I agree, and I'm not arguing that X is OK just because it's similar to Y and Z. What I don't like is the pretence that this is suddenly a brand new unprecedented invasion on privacy. It builds outrage and fear off the idea wh

I'm not disagreeing with you regarding vaccination. However, there is a long history of the state telling people what they should do with their body. The two most obvious examples are drug usage and abortion. Why do we accept that but
