I think people like to argue the details, like honey and shellfish, but most vegans I know are pretty aware of what vegan is, anything with an animal product or byproduct. There are definitely clueless people who eat chicken and call themse

I think your point 1) is just a fantastic illustration of how effective companies have been at villianizing and attacking unions. For example, Walmart could stomach some unionized workers, but they straight up close down stores in retaliati

So much of this current animal at system isn’t a historical constant. Even eating this much animal protein isn’t normal. Even if you neglect the animal suffering inherit in the system all the farm land freed up by not raising an animal for

I think throwing money would help, especially with testing. It’s not like thrown money needs to go just to scaling....

He provides good examples and reasoning for his fears, but still it'd be great to have a larger book/discourse on this. One of Facebook's defenses of this is that they hire psychologists etc, but it's to better train thi

Why was our solution to bail out the ones that caused the crisis and allow them to just get richer thereafter? Sure, universal income and taxing the richest more, re-enacting glass-steagall is better I'm just saying in that situation i

I meant more the idea that we have a financial system that allowed this to happen. Since the repeal of the Glass–Steagall act there's been greater and greater instability and more opportunities for banks to reap large sums of money. Ea

Obviously target houses below 400k or what have you. If you can target tax breaks to wealthy and companies, you can target benefits to other groups.

Saying "there's no legal way to go after them!" I find kind of upsetting when bankers can hire great lobbyists to ensure they set up the law favorably for themselves. Definitely agree we should have paid off mortgages instead

The explicitly use differential privacy to allow collecting of anonymized large samples of data[1]. They're pretty serious about privacy. Also for having a walled garden of an app store and locked down devices, yep, that's a polar

The reason I support Apple, and can be fan boyish about them, is because they very intentional make sure their customers are not their products. The make money selling devices & subscriptions, not data. Ergo, making devices more secure

Groups that get more and more power pretty much never give up that power willingly. Google's NEED to understand your desires, track your behavior, and read your emails to sell more and better ads is them accumulating power. So, even if

Unanticipated that Samsung would freakout at a competitor directly from Google itself? I remember a lot of talk about Samsung's Tizen operating system around then, so the most plausible explanation to me was that Google bought Motorola

Not to mention they've already done something similar when they switched chips from Power PC to Intel. I find it hard to see how they'd license x86, but who knows, they do have ridiculous amounts of money piled up...

What was the compelling reason to make Yarn instead of contributing to npm, perhaps ownership? Seems like they could given everyone a lot of improvements and instead they fractured the market a bit.

All kind of horrifying... lizards specifically can die if it gets cold enough. I have a couple bearded dragons thinking of someone just shipping them, taking it to chance they don't get too cold and get sick, scared and alone is just a

Would it though? It sounds like a great example of gentrification. Those develops and such that move in will just drive up the rent, bring in restaurants and such that cater to their desires, and then push out who was there with higher pric

I use to think that before I read about embodied cognition [1]. I think a lot of the harder and real challenges come from acting as an agent in an environment with often fuzy information. Not only do challenges come in the form of input mec

So there's a million or so people that visited that website and they want to unmask all those people to attempt to find 200 alleged rioters? That sure sounds like an overreaching fishing expedition.

Do you read Apple threads? It's like nothing but hate once they do something new. Also, everyone generally liked paint's simplicity, no we have stuff like candy crush default installed on Windows. Sure, maybe not a huge deal for m

Time will tell, even if people have the best intentions a company doesn't usually buy out an competitor with an open source component to make it even better competition. The business interests of the original company have changed, and

I wonder if the tools we commonly used Bluetooth for are more noticable if they error too. If my Bluetooth mouse stutters for a quarter or a second, I'll likely notice and be angry, but if a YouTube video stutters loading, it'd ha

I think the dynamics are more complicated than that. Some diseases seriously mess with your quality of life, whether it be chemo for cancer or blood pressure medicine with nasty side effects for heart disease. Or my least favorite, a decade

I’m sure there’s tons of male employees who thought the situation was overblown and wanted things to settle down. I mean, they helped enable such an awful workplace culture. Heck, I’d say select female employees may have thought it was okay

Ah, I misread it as "alternative to cow's milk" which I've seen around a lot.

Is shorter always bad? With all the growth hormones given to cows it'd make sense some would go through to the milk and likely affect kids, wouldn't really be a good thing...

Or give Microsoft 2 years to regress back to iPad’s closed app store with the advent of Microsoft’s Windows S ;) Seriously though, Surface is built on Windows, iPad on iOS, so two entirely different approaches to a tablet device.
