An average US citizen eats about 3500kcal daily. Half of those calories are from fatty animal foods, half are from refined sugar. Why is everyone demonizing fatty foods, or sugar, …

> Capitalism can't dictate morals. I do agree with that. > Killing pigs and killing elephants is in a similar category. But it's kind of about context. Yeah, the context being that…

> It's not worth the effort. That's for capitalism to decide (and those look-the-other-way market agents). > It's also pink. Hit me up next time you get confused. Difference being …

Nope. Works slow with 0 books, although I do have about 700, which still is by Big-Oh standards, at least it should be, small.

Just like we domesticated cattle, we could do the same with practically all animals. I mean, cows, pigs, chickens (dogs and cats) are the most docile creatures on earth. How would …

Calibre is unfortunately a big mess of spaghetti code. I had a problem with speeds when a book is being added. Couldn't get myself out of the soup to fix it.

Yeah, and I'm a true believer in bad science.

One can find homeopathic remedies in Whole Foods. Maybe that's a pharmacy?

It all evolves slowly but steadily. Given an animal that can produce sounds, if sounds are meaningful enough it can be a big advantage. Given more animals that produce sounds, the …

unsafe with features sounds like monad transformers in haskell. if implemented it would probably outperform haskell (given that monad transformers in haskell have runtime overhead,…

Yeah, but here it's not really about food, here it's about huge stockpiles of cheese, or about draining the water from the dry areas for cattle. That's not food, that's luxury. Sub…

EU agriculture has extremely large dependence on soy from Argentina and Brazil. [1] It's on a good path as in, it acknowledges the issue and is working through regulations to remov…

Too much subsidies in farming business. No true capitalism. When I see how much of EU money goes to farmers, it's ridiculous. It funds the destruction of rainforests all around the…

Which cultures? There are social constructs but I would not deny biology. Effect of testosterone and estrogen on behavior has been studied extensively and it is quite clear from th…

It's biology. Women are less aggressive and assertive by nature. Testosterone and stupidity (much more prevalent in male population) does wonders when it comes to being aggressive,…

you can remove the extra parentheses after sum.

It sounds very weird. If the space is closed, the AC makes the air dryer, so sweating should be minimal on these low temperatures (dampness is hell). Are you sitting next to a wind…

24-25 Celsius on lowest fan settings should be cold enough for practically everyone.

Firefox on Sierra is extremely slow. Not just javascript but everything else. Can't understand how it differs so much compared to being run on Ubuntu.

They use http://halide-lang.org/ for some convolutions. Very interesting.

There's a very good book for Latin that uses that trick. Goes from zero to extremely complex Latin. Whole book is in Latin, no translations. https://www.amazon.com/Lingua-Latina-Il…

Women are just less aggressive when negotiating and are more agreeable than men. It's statistics and it's obviously biological. Women also feel satisfied with compensation at one m…

Samo Login, which means Just Login (as in "just do it"). Quite amusing name :D It was deliberate, obviously.

How does fasttext compare to vowpal wabbit?
