> Cattle can eat grass, but most of them in North America eat very little grass. They eat a lot of grain that is intensively farmed. That feed farming has a significant impact on the environment through regular agriculture practices. You

Cattle doesn’t convert plant based protein into animal protein. Also cattle eats crop that humans can’t eat and which grows in significantly more tough conditions than those required for crops used as feed. Eating lots of soy is not healthy

There is not enough land to produce equal amount of meat at the same price point. There is plenty land to produce enough more expensive meat. Which also reduces meat consumption. It’s a win all around.

by keymone 7y ago
Yes it is, which is the main issue because apart from impact on land, corn-fed cows do excrete(?) more methane than grass-fed.

by keymone 7y ago
The advice may not be as great. Amount of land and water needed to grow crops that sufficiently replace nutrition provided by meat may be worse for climate change than just eating meat. Obviously that only applies to grass-fed cattle. I don

Summiting Everest is a scarce resource, why shouldn’t it be expensive? Limit number of licenses active during each week and auction them off to highest bidder, nothing wrong with that.

How often is diff done against the DOM? My understanding is that it’s done against last valid vDOM instead.

Right and both sides try to make the jury as biased as possible. trying to select for objectiveness is harmful.
822.
by keymone 7y ago
The jury is always biased by design. It’s never a goal to make the jury objective and/or competent, ever.

Right, and for as long as tether is able to buy back usdt for $1 it is incorrect to say tether is collapsing.
824.
by keymone 7y ago
Tether is $1. If there was some massive sell pressure it would go under parity fast. Printing tether wouldn’t help. So how exactly is it collapsing?

right, i meant clojurescript is transpiled, not ruby. still, cool detail, thanks!

by keymone 7y ago
Polyglot Ruby is invoked from Clojurescript which transpiles to JS which runs on GraalJS implementation running on GraalVM extension to the JVM? this is both impressive and terrifying.

Did pre-digital cameras kill people? Because dumb cars with dumb humans in them kill far more than self driving cars do.

legacy code and backwards compatibility are dumb excuses to not cleanup the codebase and make bad practices like those listed impossible. there's always deprecation notices, deprecation flags and "not giving a shit that somebody&#

Yes, I understand that, I just don’t see this bitfinex situation much different from what is generally accepted as normal in banking sector.

> they may not be able to pay cash for all withdrawals because that cash would be tied up in loans How is that “assets”? Loan can be defaulted on and where bank has $X in the books it’s actually $0. The non-bankrupt case for tether looks

by keymone 7y ago
So are all of the banks in the world? It’s called fractional reserve. Don’t like to defend tether in these posts, there’s clearly shady shit going on, but it’s been FUD’ed against for years now and yet USDT has kept within few percent of US

by keymone 8y ago
That bitfinex is shady is no doubt, but if all these stories about printed tether were true - it would have collapsed long ago.

Not only saturated fat isn’t bad but at worst neutral, but also LDL is not “bad” when measured as concentration, which is the main argument against sat fats on the page you linked. There is plenty of research on this topic.
