Scary to think what conditions those animals had to live in that selling 1lb for 1$ is even remotely profitable.

Not as funny as Canada's strategic maple syrup reserve which at some point was actually stolen...

Beyond and Impossible are far from first movers. Veggie burgers are for sale for at least three decades (most notably Quorn), it's just that they've managed to get VC funding and made a huge rumble about it that the US press leapt

This is a great idea. All about not making it seem patronising.

Thank you, really enlightening video. I'm happy I bought a HEPA filter now, rather than an ioniser.

There's one giving data and evidence and reciting the scientific consensus, and then there are climate change deniers like yourself. There's no reason or need to debate the truth. These are unprecedented fires. They have immense i

There are probably entire species that we haven't even discovered that have gone extinct just from these fires.

They have a few great ones and k love the "limited series" concept (so no endless series added, but just 1-2, so 14-30 episodes). E.g. Frontera Verde was superb.

But it's not about critical infrastructure, it's about control over information coming in and going out.

It's because they don't want to give anyone an option to opt out of data collection - easier to lock out all EU than actually stop/reduce/give choice for data collection.

Better 1000 failures than one deadly accident. These systems are built in basic and redundant ways for a reason. See also https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12071240

Please note that sputnik is a Russian propaganda outlet 100% financed by the state and known to peddle disinformation. Sometimes they mix good content in to seem serious/relevant, bit even then it often has a spin. In short: you shoul

I don't think so. Maybe in the rural areas or well connected outskirts, if you own the housing. No chance you're living in Amsterdam on 30k and support a family without any problems.

Not everyone agrees with that law. In fact there are massive protests against it with dozens dead.

Why does white collar crime get such low punishments? Sure he didn't put a gun to someone's head, but this guy ruined lives.

I guess the real question is whether this is cheaper than to just license these services. And a second question: how much power do others have over you? I'd your agricultural output or tax system becomes dependent on a certain provider

Indeed. And the capital Monrovia after president Monroe.

And if we don't get consensus we'll pay the consequences for decades or centuries to come. E.g. mining operations in many places polluted the local waterways and underground water sources. Fracking today is another good example -

Same in Europe. Brussels city in the 1900s moved 20.000 families to build a single street (now the main pedestrian area). Mussolini paved over dozens of ancient Roman sites to build a big street through the city centre. Paris went through

Does Google Web Fonts not do some tracking along the lines of analytics? I'd never integrate a Google service in my site and sell user info out for little/no benefit.

95% seems like an awfully wrong guess. There is a lot of forced prostitution, then a huge great area of those that for various reasons have no other option (from abusive boyfriend to immigration status to economic factors) and then a very s

This approach of changing jobs every 1-2-3 years seems really strange from a European perspective. Yes when you're young, but do you want to continue that for life? No one is stopping you from quitting or changing jobs - but it's

Worth stressing that this might be how unions work in the US (if that's really so generalisable). In western Europe unions are definitely not so exclusionary

Nonsense. In the upper crust maybe, but in tribes and farming cultures women were.alwqys full part of public society. It changed only with the industrial revolution - smaller families, bigger cities, more distinct gender roles.

The article is about an interview with one of the most senior road safety experts in Europe, saying that this does not conform to European approaches to car safety which aim not to protect the car from damage but rather to reduce harm on hu

I think a better analogy than a library would be your average day in the office: would you want everything you say and do in the office recorded for eternity? Sure it would help, say, catch fraudsters, track responsibility and credit, allow
