  • 90% of Great Lakes water samples have unsafe microplastic levels – report

  • I posted about microplastics reducing sperm levels like 8 years ago on Reddit and my post got mocked like if I was a MRA and that if they did, it was a good thing because world overpopulation. So yeah, these people exist.

  • I think it would be auctioned and sold to the highest bidder.

  • How is it even possible/practical to obey traffic laws?

    Jump

  • In Argentina it's against the law too. I have never seen anyone, ever, stop at a stop sign. At most people slow down a little more than usual. Not even cops stop at stop signs. But if you don't stop in your driver test, they can theoretically deny your license. So this is definitely a regional thing.

    Fwiw, I visited a lot of South American countries, and Argentina is one of the most respectful of traffic laws. But yeah, stop signs are merely a suggestion at best. People slow down way more in a "dangerous crossing" sign, than a stop sign.

  • Yeah well, last time I checked, dry black beans are not burgers.

  • The "Backlash" to Plant-Based Meat Has a Sneaky, if Not Surprising, Explanation

    Jump

  • I just checked. It's not as exaggerated as I put it, but in general it holds up.

    Check the price per kilo.

    The most expensive are the Not Meat burgers, which are kinda similar to Beyond Meat.

    The cheapest are the soy+meat.

    Second cheapest are the beans/lentils patties, which while tasty, they're nothing like a real burger. I didn't even mentioned them in my previous comment.

    The full meat burgers are about 30% cheaper than the Not Meat (plant based) burgers.

    Accusing others of misinformation, and saying dead animals instead of meat, pushes people away and hurts your argument, btw.

  • The other day I saw a talk made by one of the wiki media guys, that talked about integrating LLM with knowledge graphs. It was very cool, I'll try to find it again.

  • I'm in south America and there's a lot of plant based burgers available. And you know what? The cheapest costs double of a 100% beef burger.

    Coincidentally, the half beef, half soy protein burgers are half price of 100% beef burgers, 1/4 of full plant based burgers.

    Why is that? The half soy burgers are made by the same companies as the full beef burgers, might be related to economies of scale?

  • The hardest part of building software is not coding, it’s requirements

  • As you age, soft skills become way more important IMO. It's almost impossible to keep up with the changing technology landscape, and while you could theoretically become an expert in some tech that never goes away (hello Cobol), eventually it will become obsolete and you're left with no marketable skills. And while some people are lifelong learners (I am), learning new programming languages over and over again gets old at some point. So transitioning into more of a people's role (like management) it's a good move when you get older.And if AI keeps getting better at coding, some programming jobs could be in danger of automation, so it's also a safety net for that scenario.
