The thing is that often they are right. It's almost literally crazy to me that he wouldn't just try to reschedule the meeting and that he would work when his grandma was dying. It's not working long hours that's a proble

I feel like lack of logs can increase apparent culpability (as this scenario shows). It seems a little silly they don't store anything after two weeks but I was explained elsewhere that a lot of the reason was that those logs can cont

Wouldn't this mainly just be a problem if there wasn't much competition in the market? If cost savings aren't being passed on to the consumers I would blame lack of competition before I consided blaming automation

Huh, I hated it partially for not being very funny and the characters being generally unlikable (and also just unbelievable in a weird way). It's cool how people can have so different opinions on it, are there any scenes in it you find

Yeah, I agree that it's not a great metric and you can aim for a more expensive market but one thing I was pointing out is that the market for significantly more expensive food that this sort of farming would entail is really hard to b

By efficiency I mean food per $. I met someone who runs a small organic dairy farm and each small container of yogurt was 12$ and it's not like he was making tons of money (and that was after years getting organic certified). Edit: it

I think the issue is that small farms aren't very efficient. My wife's father owns a small farm in Iowa but has another job because it just doesn't make enough money to afford even his pretty meagre lifestyle. Having been aro

In certain media but in other media the opposite it true. The top cable news network for the last decade has been conservative (Fox obviously) and conservative media absolutely dominates talk radio and it also has a robust Internet presence

In the West there are biased sources (it's impossible to have unbiased sources because there's no consistent agreement on what "unbiased" could be) but there's actually a lot of diversity of content. It's prett

Oh, whoops I meant smbc for the webcomic, not xkcd. I haven't read xkcd in a while (maybe I've just got old but I feel like the quality of jokes started going down a few years ago)

It harms all the industries where the content is ad supported, which is the majority of the Internet right now. For just what I use every day Facebook, Spotify, Google, almost all news, Youtube, Reddit, and xkcd are all add supported. I get

People are always unhappy with new UIs (just look at what happens when Apple tries to change anything) and hacker news seems to be pretty negative towards all of the big tech companies (often deserved but sometimes not) so it's not alw

I think the main barrier is that people are generally unwilling to pay for these products now so it's hard to fund things with anything besides ads. If someone finds other ways to fund it I could see it but for now even with them vulne

Yeah it's not every meal but even many of your examples are often eaten with meat. Pancakes often come with bacon, salad often with chicken, and pizza with pepperoni or sausage. "Almost every meal" might be hyperbole but the

One thing to note is that being vegan is very difficult and most people aren't going to be vegan. One thing everyone can do is to cut their meat intake. People have meat for almost every meal and it's pretty simple to cut back and

Why not just cut out the middle man and murder people?

No, my wife studies dogs (but wants to study cats) and her friends were talking about how that paper was a big impediment to getting better policies regarding feral cats so sadly I don't have the references in front of me. Edit: if I r

The problem for me is that no one I know has a mac (I think their market share is like 10 percent). It's too expensive for many of the people I know and the rest play video games so they can't use a mac.

The study for the amount of birds they eat made a lot of assumptions so there's doubt on whether it's actually accurate or not. I do agree on the spay / neuter, though. Also it's news because these are cats shelters gene

I think there are three potential issues with this, firstly, minorities are being discriminated against and paid less in the scenario so it wouldn't be desirable on that metric. Secondly competition in many markets isn't robust en

If they sold it to Mastercard as double blind I personally would trust them on it. Lying to consumers seems to turn out fine but lying to large corporations I would bet gets expensive and my experience is that a large org will bend over bac

I feel like as consumers we've lost this battle. If it's profitable the other companies will do it, too. I'm hoping that as consumers keep getting more screwed we can get some regulation to give us at least a little control a

I'm referring to things that affect ability (things like skin color are different but not unequal in this regard). Even if certain small communities had some variations they become meaningless once you reach the scale of "asian&qu

My view on it is that all ethnicities are necessarily equal (no race is smarter than any other) so large scale differences in admissions are the result of cultural and historical circumstances. By picking off most metrics you will get a &qu

In my experience you have control and insight into machines in AWS, what insight or control do you think was lacking here? It seems to me more they didn't understand the technology they were building on.

Even if they were Amazon and actually owned the hardware being run on it wouldn't have changed the outcome at all so I don't understand how it being someone else's computer is relevant.

It's pretty easily explained by the fact that people really only use the term "white inventors" when talking about black inventors (honestly "white inventors" would probably have racist connotations in most other co

Companies seem willing to pay more for more targeted advertising and if other mediums could switch over to it they would (the issue is that something like print can't). I'm not sure what other motivation they would have besides pr

Also there's the fact that lists of famous African Americans are probably more common than general lists of famous Americans (and many will appear on both lists). The bias here seems pretty obviously to align with a general bias to wha
