I don't believe treating a living animal as a science experiment is more humane.

IMO, genetic modification is less humane than grinding the male chicks. In any case, the breeders for the egg layers likely already have logistics in place for the ground baby chicks (pet food, fertilizer, etc) which is likely easier to pr

I qualify as a marketer. I don't want my ads seen by people not local to my market. Audience size alone isn't useful, it's about target audience, of which, almost none of that would have been blocked recently. (I don'

We all know Amazon doesn't actually hire these warehouse workers, they use shell firms, aka 'staffing agencies.' Bloomberg is obviously perpetuating false positive talking points for Amazon here. Personally, I don't thi

What do you mean by nested lists? A list of lists, that's a list with a single type.

Well, in purely software shops, there's often people dreaming up the 'what to do' and a different group of people actually writing the code. Same with systems design, we have 'architects.' This should be no differe

I can't think of a time I ever needed to do such a thing, and I've written many thousand lines of python. Python supports OOP, so classes will get you quite far in this regard.

Python is a language with several implementations (PyPy, CPython, JPython). Not all python programs work in all of those implementations. So, I think this might qualify as much as a python implementation as PyPy.

It's so easy to judge other cultures through the lens of our own. All nations enforce some form of dress code in public spaces, who's the arbiter of what's morally acceptable? If other countries think their behavior is so re

20 years ago, there were many more airlines in the US [1]. Many of these airlines, while 'national,' were mostly regional, and serviced particular routes. As the airlines have merged, not only have costs gone up, but routes have

It truly is a police state. Massive surveillance with CCTV, as well as online, strict speech laws, a literal monarchy that at the very least has massive political power if not absolute political power.

I'm not a fan of stalebot at all. Just leave the issues open, so it's easier for a user of the project to browse the open issues and determine if they need to file a new bug, or maybe there's some info about a fix, etc. Hav

People are stating that fake meat is more expensive than real meat. I'd pay more for real meat before I'd ever pay for fake meat. I don't know a single person that eats this stuff on the regular. I know a handful of people

No. Not every energy innovation is concerned with CO2 production. This is a way to extract more energy from the earth. I expect the vast, vast majority of our energy is going to be derived from fossil fuels for the next 2-300 years.

A vaccine requires an antigen. There's no antigen in the mRNA or Adeno-vector vaccines. I'm not willing to pretend that these new medical products are in any way similar to the previous technology. Gene therapy accurately descri
