This is true. If the US stopped giving tax breaks, money, to the corn guys, the hamburger would be a more expensive meal. Tax-payers are currently paying for people to get cardiova…

You skipped over everything I've referenced and introduced a completely new narrative which has a simple rebuttal. We waste tons of grains to filter through cows' bodies. Cows prod…

Everyone is nitpicking bits and pieces of my answers. First the culture, then the sustainability, now health. Yes, I'm quite aware of the results, and authors of that large scale s…

This repetition is irrational. Given all the evidence there should be no meat, milk and eggs in the diet of developing countries. How does a growing economy cope with costs of hear…

most of the USA cattle industry is based on dirt cheap soybean and corn, grass-fed beef is less sustainable and productive, you just cannot expect the same growth of cows body give…

How much food does a cow need to filter to get that nutrient-dense liver? My estimate is that it's probably equivalent to several families dining on protein rich, nutrient rich gra…

I'm not really waiting for him to become vegan. I'm waiting for him to become rational - veganism follows from that. He doesn't have to promote it, he just has to live it. I'm doin…

I'm surprised Gates, for all his work in this field, has failed to recognise that we're burning up more food growing cattle and farming animals, than if we were to just eat the pla…

the nature of the label bias present in rnn - the weights aren't learned by estimating the loss over the whole input/output, they are localized... representation helps a lot for th…

yeah, meat and milk, insane too. I'd rather not filter all that food through an animal, I'd gladly get the cheap quality nutrients up front.

Can't really understand how can a body of an animal, which wastes energy on heating itself, digestion, breathing, brain function, be efficient enough to produce antibodies. They mu…

yeah, it is a bit too black-and-white Microsoft is doing great stuff with it in finance, ads, and MR is doing amazing stuff.

I'm interpreting that the moment when Yahoo started falling apart was when they fired their whole vowpal wabbit team. If you can't value the state-of-the-art research being done in…

General skill of problem solving seems to stick with you forever. It's probably because most of your problem solving knowledge is your own invention. Whereas math and programming i…
