future generations will look back on eating meat as a barbaric mistake
Primates, including humans, evolved to be omnivorous. In the 200,000 year history of the homo sapiens species, only the most recent 3% have had the benefit of agriculture. Even then, only 0.1% have had the benefit of the industrial revolution which could in theory provide enough calories and nutrients for all humans with a purely herbivorous diet.
I prefer A Sale of Two Titties
lawbreaking while driving is widespread on American streets to a level so extreme…
Is this not the case everywhere? If anything, speeding, distracted driving, and running stop signs / ignoring traffic signals is much more common in other parts of the world.
“Right to work” refers to the fact that in those states, unions cannot force membership or payment, or force you to participate in labor strikes. You can still have a union in those states, but it’s very difficult for them to be effective because most people will choose not to pay into it, and strikes have significantly less bargaining power if there’s no legal obligation for union members to follow through with a strike.
The result is that in such states, there are very few unions, and so very few protections against firing workers for arbitrary reasons.
Closing scene of The Kingdom, relevant as ever.
Pascal’s little-known friend Luigi’s wager.
If you pay with your CC and sign the receipt after seeing the total, you’re going to have a very hard time getting it removed.
This is brilliant. Definitely going to try this tomorrow.
Not only that - they’re dying in the street immediately adjacent to vacant luxury condos.
Wow, I had no clue. TIL
3 nanometer
That’s a silicon lattice just six atoms thick. What a time to be alive!
TIL a single T-72B3 costs less than $2M.
Inference, yes. Training, no. Derived models don’t count.
I was using cat6 as a stand-in for “all the bad stuff”. There’s never been a category 6 hurricane before.
I have 7 trees on my property. If you pay me $700 I’ll promise not to cut them down for five years, and you can subtract 35 tons of CO2 from your environmental balance sheet.
That’s how carbon offsets work. They’re bullshit.
Insurers aren’t really to blame here. Florida is a fundamentally high-risk place to build and live now, and will continue to get worse for the foreseeable future due to climate change. Even a non-profit insurer would need to price Florida insurance at a premium, lest its funds be exhausted when the inevitable category-6 hurricane hits the state.
Arguably the ones most to blame (after the fossil fuel industry, for putting us in this position in the first place of course) is corrupt politicians and developers who allow such shoddy construction in the state in the first place.
Deliberately using software encryption mode is slow; no shocker there. Their same testing showed no significant difference when hardware encryption mode was used.
Say it with me everyone - CORPORATIONS ARE NOT PEOPLE
It’s not even clear to me that the mechanism they’re using today is problematic. I don’t know what it is, but the author seems to think they do but aren’t sharing details beyond “trust me bro”. I agree that some kind of inspection-based detection might run afoul of the law, but I don’t see why that’s necessary. All you need to know is that the client is requesting videos without any of the ad requests making it through, which is entirely server-side.
