Wait, why would having a non-Apple store being allowed in iOS affect you? If people want to install non-Apple approved apps from their own devices, it doesn't imply you have to do …

Actually, engineers in big companies have more control than it seems. After all, privacy is not only about intent, but also execution, and care needs to be taken at every level. Pr…

> we can do our best to get as many as possible unnecessary deaths to end. What if the best way to decrease (unnecessary) deaths is to consume animals?

> (...) while crop deaths may happen, it is not a requirement that it does. Wait, so just because you consider that it is not a requirement, it is ok? The reality is another and ve…

> The peer-reviewed science we have suggests that higher soy consumption correlates with increased lifespan and positive health outcomes. Couple of things here: (1) Correlation is …

Let me doubt that assessment. That would be true if (1) the 50-to-1 was true (doubt it); (2) what we feed the cattle is human-grade food and (3) 1 calorie of a plant was as nutriti…

Not because of deforestation, but because threats to orangutans. Most of the food animals eat is not human-grade, and a big part of it are by products of food for human consumption…

No, even if most of livestock feed was soy (I am pretty sure it was corn, but whatever), most of the food they are feed as dry matter is not edible by humans: https://www.sciencedi…

It does not make any sense, no matter how you look at it. Sure, you can see those "articles", but don't forget that those are going to be based on IQ tests, and those are correlate…

> Livestock agriculture is the leading driver of climate change AND biodiversity loss. I am pretty sure that's not correct, not even close [1]. Transportation is the main driver of…

It is not as simple as you think, and there is quite a bit of people cannot be healthy with such diet. > Many are also passionate about it because there are other benefits that com…

I am pretty sure Amazon deforestation affects the rest of the world too. While I don't completely agree with the need of deforestation of the country, I upvoted you because I agree…

Most of the benefits you mention come from weight loss, and almost any intervention that can cut weight during the first years would report similar improvements. Plenty of people l…

As unethical as eating soy from a deforested area. Or eating mostly anything with sugar, canola oil or palm oil. But people don't ask those to be in non deforested areas, and they …

> How much could this reduce the total environmental food print of cattle? I.e. including all the energy used to grow the crops they eat, the deforestation to make room for the cro…

>t might work if intelligence wasn't important for members of lower castes but was for higher castes, perhaps due to the nature of their culture or work. Then low castes wouldn't s…

And we know how that has worked in royal families across Europe. In any case, your analogy was not this one in the first post, unless you are saying that higher caste meant higher …

That's a false analogy. Genetics can beat training but discrimination cannot be overcome without intervention. I'm a strong believer in equality of opportunities, but I feel that's…

The Onyx Boox 3 max is great for that. the main function I use (articles and books) is the split screen with notes in one side and book/article in the other. The main downside is t…

I have worked at a few orgs and I've heard so many time the "because we are Google" to explain why a product will be used. I've never understood that mentality; I've never understo…

This is completely misleading. Even if his first company was the first self driving vehicle project ever (which was not) or the only piece in the puzzle (which it wasn't either), t…

I guess this is going to be controversial, but shoes are not preventing running injuries because most people ran farther and with worst technique than they should. Farther because …

And if you run a 400m once, you will have PTSD when you are on the blocks getting ready to run the next.

I'm not the OP, but I mostly agree with his comments. I have trained track and field for years, and bad running technique is highly correlated with injuries. I don't understand thi…

Most would vote Yes to independence. Most would rather have a different relationship with Spain and yes, a big chunk of people would have liked to remain in Spain with increased au…
