More transparency in some form, requiring researchers to publish code and data openly for instance.

I wrote my own remote scriptrunner thing because I hate Ansible so much.

I did this before with perl’s SSH::Batch. You can install it from CPAN and get really simple ability to run code on groups of servers in parallel. Works great.

Eventually I switched to Ansible because it made the more complicated things a lot simpler.

I use bash scripts too on almost all my systems. Containerize deployments. Dockerfiles are a godsend and work indefinitely.

Not really the case, mathematical terminology and conventions change over time.

This phenomena where two nouns are placed side by side is called apposition:

So the source of the confusion is that, in English, non-restrictive appositives typically are indicated with commas, but so are lists of conjuncts.

Due to the tone of your over-confident first post, initially I thought you were a lawyer on Facebook's payroll making a deceitful argument.

You really think Facebook's lawyers would advise disclosing a link between Facebook usage and depression found in their internal studies? Do you really think that Facebook would even ever allow for that conclusion to be reached in this particular internal study? Come on.

Those are different questions than what OP got at with "If they did admit a link it would open Facebook to unimaginable legal liability"

Admitting to this fact could just be bad PR. Or bad for their growth and retention metrics, while not changing their legal liability.

Is it known that in many American high schools the police will routinely search the halls, lockers, parking lots, and even force students to stand with their stuff placed on their desks while they walk around the classroom searching?

Or how about that starting in 4th grade we had D.A.R.E., where they regularly bring in actual cops to teach a "class" during which they attempt to coerce students into snitching on their families? This is when they're not busy teaching us about drugs that 95% of the students had never even heard of.

How about that it's very common for the police, if they find someone with a larger amount of drugs, to rob them rather than arrest them? This happens all the time with cops learning the license plates of particular dealers, although most drug dealers that I know have preferred this eventuality even if they lost a larger amount. Another friend lost 2 pounds of weed and a lot of money over a random noise complaint.

These American institutions, the schools and the cops in this case, are a total failure and need to be completely reworked.

Using Safari is amateur, the design looks nice.

> fish are way less intelligent than farm animals

There is no concrete evidence of this. A lot of sea creatures, including fish, have skin cells that can create polarized light and some seem to have developed communication systems with pulses of polarized light.

Just the other day it was found that some fish can pass the mirror test, didn't you see that?

The prevailing theory is that ratio of brain mass to body mass is more telling than the absolute size of the brain. Fish may fare worse on this metric but I suspect it's just an area where we have very little understanding yet.

Being vegetarian or vegan is not so hard. It is one of many fundamental changes that society should pursue to avert the current ecological crisis and mitigate species loss.

> The prevailing theory is that ratio of brain mass to body mass is more telling than the absolute size

A bit weird nitpicking when you yourself make an insubstantial claim about some "prevailing" theory. I think we can both agree that reducing meat consumption is the right thing to do, it's just sometimes to convince people you need to show some leeway.

Why don't you go check it out yourself?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brain-to-body_mass_ratio

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Encephalization_quotient

check what? You posted some links that explain a metric which was theorized to measure intelligence. That wasn't what I requested source for (it's a theory). I asked for a source that says this theory is the prevalent theory.

Btw I never made any comment about fish's brain size, I said they're generally less intelligent than farm animals, which wikipedia agrees with, fits the brain ratio theory too: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fish_intelligence#Brain

Thanks for derailing the conversation anyway, at the end, there is no such thing as a fish

I've had well over a billion rows in multiple tables with PostgreSQL and it wasn't a problem at all.
