I'm not against exports in principle. I'm against the destruction of my local environment for the profit of a group factory farm owners which as far as I know number in the hundreds. 0.5% of this country is wild nature - again 50%

Nobody's barbecue is going to be cancelled because of this. Meat and animal products are some of the cheapest and most easily available calories you can get here.

60% of Denmark is farmed. 80% of that (ie. 50% of the surface area of the country) is used to grow feed for pigs that get exported. That has absolutely nothing to do with food security.

I don't know if it's by gross weight or calories, but the number I've heard is that feeding plants to animals is 10-20 less effective than just having people eat the plants. Or mostly eat the plants. So, in the case of Denmar

They haven't been working this much land this intensively for millennia. So-called "conventional agriculture" is an experiment that's younger than my dad. Although this tax is only about carbon, the negative effects of t

The Taliban might be keeping more of an eye on the border than the previous Afghan government did, though, for that reason.

The people are friendly and welcoming, and the scenery is amazing. As a tourist, I don't much mind paying a few bribes to policemen (who barely get paid a wage), and I can stand to keep my mouth shut about their president when I'm

Have the Taliban ever conducted any operations in Tajikistan? I know people go back and forth over the river (I went to Badakshan once and saw them swim across!), so there's contact, but I don't think the Taliban have a habit of g

There has been, as far as I know, one single case of tourists being attacked (and killed) by militant Islamists, which happened a few years ago. So statistically it's probably safer than a lot of places. There is significant resistance

Islam is extremely important to Tajik identity. But Tajikistan is making the same mistake many other Muslim dictatorships and authocracies did. By not having a real open political system, the only place for dissent to take root is in Islami

An amazing place. I visited twice about 15 years ago and have many fond memories of it, but mostly when I think about it I'm filled with sadness, because the people there deserve so much better. They're constantly knee-deep in cor

I can't comment on the benefits at scale that another poster cites, but I've been working on an Angular project in a small team for four years now. This was quite close to a greenfield project, only a very small amount of code had

So I can set up a server for my family and do no scanning, and that's not illegal. Can I let my neighbour join. How far down the street am I allowed to offer this service before it becomes in scope? Can I make a preconfigured, plug-and

Security is a mindset and some people don't have it. I used to work for a company that made a rather popular database for mobile applications. An easy API to store data on your phone and have it synced to a server with no effort on the

I have to admit I find it a little hard to understand what you're trying to say. It seems to me like you're mixing up a few things. In everyday English, the word 'person' primarily refers to an individual human. This is

Have you considered that the Danish food authorities might kind of know what they're doing? They're not going to label food as potentially harmful because they don't like the taste.

Eh, I think "traumatized" is a strong word to use when somebody is just trying to exist in the heat with the body they have.

I'd never heard of this, but it's in the article, too. I think the tech world would have looked very different if Estridge had taken over instead of Sculley.

This really what "mutually intelligible" means, I'd say: that the languages are so close you can sort of work it out without explicit instruction. You still need some experience with the other language - and quite often there

A "monad" is a description of something so general it covers lists, things that might not exist, things that might fail, and things that might happen in the future. It is a concept from category theory, which is the branch of math
