  • H5N1 Bird Flu Isn’t a Human Pandemic—Yet. American Contrariness Could Turn It into One

    Jump

  • Yes, but as you can see, growing plants to feed animals and raising them is a very inefficient use of land.

  • Well, livestock are definitely a major source of animal contact outbreaks, but I do agree with you that wild animals displaced from their environment as a result of land use change is a factor as well.

    And what is the biggest contributing factor in land use? Oh, it's animal agriculture again...

  • STAR, or Score Then Automatic Runoff, differs from RCV in that instead of ranking the candidates in order of preference, you can assign a rating to each, out of five stars. All of the stars are added for each candidate (score), and the ones with the fewest stars are eliminated (automatic runoff), then the scores are added again, another runoff, etc.

    So say you love candidate C, you dislike candidate B, and you hate candidate A.

    • In an RCV system, you'd rank C,B,A, and if C is eliminated, your full support goes behind B, but in the initial scoring round, only your top ranked candidate gets your full vote.
    • In a STAR system, you'd maybe give C five stars, B two stars, and A zero stars. You're still giving some support to B for the initial scoring round, but most of your support goes to C.

    So the biggest difference is that in the initial scoring round, your preference for candidates other than your first choice are considered. Check out this video, which gives a good breakdown of voting systems and how they account for spoilage: https://youtu.be/oFqV2OtJOOg?si=8sLYiYpA7EnOt94i

  • I learned a lot about home maintenance and handiwork from my dad, but then I started looking stuff up and realized he's been stubbornly doing a lot of projects the wrong way.

  • I'm a fan of STAR voting myself, but anything is better than the first past the post system we have now.

  • Vegan hotdogs // Veggie "Completo Italiano"

    Jump

  • That's my usual go-to when I'm camping or at a BBQ and want a regular hotdog. I'm sure some people in this thread will tell me I'm wrong though and suggest I instead cook some beans on the campfire lol.

  • Sometimes you just want something that tastes like a hotdog but didn't come from an animal.

  • Why not? The seasonings are what makes it taste like a hotdog and I'm not eating a hotdog because it's healthy. Let people enjoy things.

  • Sorry but I absolutely hate this take. I stopped eating meat about 15 years ago, but I grew up on meat-based dishes, and I occasionally like to eat stuff from my childhood, just without the meat. It literally doesn't affect you at all, but you still find the need to tell me that I'm wrong for eating what I enjoy.

  • I think it depends on the circumstances. I work for a publisher and submitted a request for one of my clients copyrighted books to be removed from the archive, and they took it down the same day.

  • The fucksmith post in question has been removed by moderators, so I wonder if Google really is pressuring Reddit to remove jokes from their platform now. This person had no idea their shit post would be used to train AI over a decade later, and they certainly weren't violating any policies when they posted it. It's like nobody involved in this process knew anything about Reddit.

    Pay $60 million to train on bad data.Implement AI trained on bad data.Panic when the AI returns bad answers.Manually remove bad data.Profit??

    Edit: it was removed when I checked yesterday, but it looks like they restored it.

  • This is not a record to be proud of.
