Look around. Who is not shaming the oil and coal industry right now?
The discovery I have made is that timing commutes away from rush hour does more to prevent accidents than anything else.
"While the letter acknowledges that Facebook, which owns Facebook Messenger, WhatsApp, and Instagram, captures 99% of child exploitation and terrorism-related content through its own systems, it also notes that "mere numbers cannot capture the significance of the harm to children." "
Facebook? I don't regard a company that sells people's information without their consent as "social media". There's nothing social about going behind someone's back and deceiving them.
It would befit social media to rate someone with importance not according to a check or star but according to actual real world accomplishment. I realize that creates a natural bias against the underachieved, but without such weights, anyone can say anything about anything no matter what the education or perspective, and have it essentially equivalent to a subject matter in the field, at least until further examination.
"To be a modern-day Chinese nationalist is to unknowingly agree to all of that and to become a de facto Han supremacist."
I'm willing to bet they didn't even try a single one of the many possibly optimizations they could have used and actually stay either in PHP or a subset of PHP. It's so much easier to win your argument with a strawman, not to say there aren't cases where D is, in fact, better.

Oddly though, ground beef and chicken are the two substances that are the easiest to replace. There's almost nothing that doesn't taste a little like chicken once properly prepared. Similarly, there are plenty of ground up things that can substitute for ground beef. Then you can go into cost and life cycle. The cost of chicken is lower because of cycle cycle. The cost of ground beef is lower because it's low quality.
I'm fairly certain it's not the ground beef and chicken industry that are holding up the meat industry on the whole.
The challenge is that at every level of accountability, anyone with enough power can find a way to corrupt. There used to be a universal belief in truth, but that belief has been, in many subject matters, largely eroded away. Today, mostly there is only right for you or me. Not so much right as a whole.
I find people on talk shows talking about doing "the right thing". What the hell does that begin to amount to today? Does anyone have a clue?
