  • I don’t want to get philosophical on the first part of this comment, but the second part is sadly just wrong. Paying attention and spending more money most often doesn’t change a bit - at least where I’m shopping. Maybe the animals have a little more space on their factories and their feeding uses slightly less land, water etc.

    But this is a very important point for many vegans: It is a way to critique and boycott a very shitty system that doesn’t allow for any good choices.










  • Average is the mean (i.e. sum of all “skill” divided by the amount of programmers)

    What they were thinking of is the median (50th percentile = 0.5 quantile), which splits the group in two equal sized groups.

    For a bell curve, they are the same values. But think of the example of average incomes: 9 people have an income of 10$, one has an income of 910$. The average income is 100$ ((10*9+910)/10). The median is basically 10 however.



  • It’s defenitively not a scam. It does exactly ehat it should and is pretty good at it.

    However, especially google is pushing it on everything, even when they are not needed. Punishing search results if they don’t enforce https, make it hard to access sites in chrome etc.

    I have a static website that takes no user input whatsoever, thus https is pointless and a waste of compute power/energy.

    In the end I see the biggest issue in not very tech literate useres thinking everything with https is legit and trustworrhy, while it really isn’t.
