Oh yeah, I"m not suggesting that the pasture could be converted to cropland. I think we just aren't pricing in a bunch of externalities for beef production that would otherwise raise the price and shift consumption to poultry. The

From a recent Bloomberg article[1] The last two graphs show that 41% of the land in the contiguous 48 states is used for feeding livestock. More than 33% of the 48 states is just pasture, most of which I believe is used by cattle. What woul

Are there any legal restrictions on what the Chinese government can ask websites to censor? I am not aware of any, so I don't see where there would be an opportunity to protest.

An Avogadro's constant number of molecules is one mole. One mole of hydrogen has much less mass than one mole of iron. You have to choose an arbitrary mass of a single element as the base quantity. Hydrogen might be the best theoretica

Ouch. For a workaround in the future, maybe you can lower the priority of your bazel server via nice/renice?

My impression is that the maintenance burden gets pushed onto drivers and they may not fully understand how to factor that cost into their income. However, there are new incentives to keep the cars well maintained, such as the ability of ri

It's not like everything stops moving on the road when self-driving car cameras start scanning. "Mapping" isn't just establishing fixed elements, but also learning how things move and obstruct each other.

I haven't read the source quotes, but I would argue that a pure meritocracy does not organically establish and maintain itself. Humans don't behave like perfect robots, we're messy. We have cognitive biases, sometimes we act

I'm as skeptical of Microsoft as any Linux user who read the Halloween documents, but your comment is overly conspiratorial. People have been worried about scaling Linus for years, but it seems like there was not much focus on scaling

Certificates are tied to hostnames, and hostnames resolve to IPs. You could have a server with 50 IPv6 IPs, have a different hostname resolve to each one, and load all of the SSL certs onto the machine along with the appropriate webserver c

The rocket runs on extremely cold fuel. It's impossible to perfectly maintain that temperature in the tank, so the fuel is constantly expanding and venting out of the tank so it doesn't explode. You can keep adding more chilled fu

Development of the Rust language is still happening fairly quickly, so many projects won't compile with the 6 month old compiler version in your Linux distribution's package repository. Most developers install it using rustup.
