Yes, because foods can easily be ranked by their scientifically measured healthiness. The only fruit I eat is strawberries because they are the healthiest.

There's more slaves today than then. I guess Romans win.

Cool, so by your definition of right, heterosexual supremacy, male dominance, slavery, racism, are all right because a majority guided by convenience and traditional beliefs thinks…

> Citation needed. What kind of citation? This request is a little bit of a stretch. The majority of people on Earth identify as followers of abrahamic religions. Bunch of them acc…

It's a pretty simple answer. Slavery was convenient yet it was abolished. Democracy brought Hitler, yet what he did people did not condone. If people decide what is right and yet d…

There's quite a clear time when not using or not abusing non-human animals was impossible. It's quite clear from all the data that the effort should go towards better biological mo…

Never claimed it wasn't reasonable. It's not as efficient as one might think. Having an 8% precision is ridiculously low. Given that all of vaccines and medical treatments are test…

Good thing that utilitarianism is a well known concept. If I weren't aware of that I'd be living in an absolutist nightmare of a world where everything was made necessary for use a…

https://www.animallaw.info/statute/ny-cruelty-consolidated-c... Imagine that, and yet here's French police training eagles to fetch drones. Each training session a risk of serious …

Of course not. I'm advocating for humans to stop using sentient feeling beings and risk their lives in their solutions to problems (from diet, clothes, companionship to catching dr…

Citation for what? Animals are by law treated as property. I just explained why someone would think of a solution as ridiculous as that. Parent points out that the solution is not …

Animals are, by law, treated as property, not sentient beings, so one dead bird is nothing in the realm of anthropocentric humanity. If it fulfills the purpose man has given it's e…

Similar to the lottery problem and other covering problems. Let's say lottery has N numbers. Tickets contain K numbers. What is the least amount of tickets M that you need to buy s…

Sounds similar to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contraction_hierarchies There was a paper by Microsoft Research where they find shortest path from one point to another in time equi…

It's not old. Has most needed background necessary. DL NLP is not necessary for most common tasks.

ADHD is a real thing. Maybe not the same as procrastination and lack of self-managment. I've known ADHD people with extreme self-control (amazing time planning), persistence and wi…

Yes, I apologize, my statement refers to 90% of cut Amazon. Not that 90% of it is cut for USA. As for the beef and soy exports it's not enough to check just the exports number. The…

Soy. I wrote soy exports. Not "beef production exports". Brazil (with Argentina) is main soy exporter for most of the worlds livestock. In the documents below you can find clear nu…

It still produces less CO2. This will of course not be a fact if fire rate increases. It's a feedback loop. The warmer it gets more CO2 gets produced, not just by humans but by nat…

True, what you can do is plant trees and stop cutting trees. Plant trees that suck more CO2. Amazon rainforest is being cut enormously. About 90% of cut Amazon is solely for beef p…

ML does not include integer linear programming (nothing learnable there) and similar mathematical optimizations. ML can be a part of it but is not integral to it. Just like finding…

It is, but saying it's machine learning hides the combinatorial issues and combinatorial search that has to happen. Machine learning model can't replace the necessity for search. S…

Not really machine learning. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nurse_scheduling_problem Above is a nice example. There has been some nice contests with the above problem and the ILP so…

Yes, but doing business as usual will never bring collective action. Why would politicians tax energy usage if no people demand it? Why would politicians tax meat if no one demands…
