Female calves go back into the system, whereas male calves can go two ways: 1. Disposed of (in the dumpster until collection) or 2. Sold off like you mentioned, although not usually for human consumption as dairy cows are very different to cows for meat. Usually they are disposed of though.

Pretty sure in HTTP 1.1, there was a max amount of concurrent requests per server/proxy. So using different domains allowed more rq/s.


Chromium does 1 at a time for me, 1 every second - was quite intensive.


If you follow the links that are inlined in the article you eventually find referenced articles that they themselves have then referenced. Not optimal.

These are the linked articles that contain the references for this data (haven't checked it out so I am assuming on a cursory glance)

https://forbes.com/sites/jamesconca/2012/06/10/energys-death... and https://ourworldindata.org/what-is-the-safest-form-of-energy


"Nine workers died during the work."

Although on-time or early and within budget, it is still a dangerous job to do. That is 0.346% of the total workforce (2600).


A better metric is probably "deaths / km" instead of % of workforce.

Also, while those nine deaths are tragic, we've come a long way from the roughly 200 lives the old 15km tunnel took.


Comparison with other tunnels: http://interaktiv.tagesanzeiger.ch/2016/gotthard-system/imgs...

And a German article about the nine people who died: http://www.tagesanzeiger.ch/schweiz/standard/die-toten-arbei...


The project took 17 years. So more like 0.02% per year.


0.346% of the population over 17 years. Wouldn't be surprised if it was less than the national average death rate


You're right. Death rate is about 0.8%, to be compared to 0.02% here (40 times less). Of course, this does not account for the difference in the age distribution of workers vs the national population.


I found that whole music performance from the article very weird. It seemed disrespectful to all of the people that actually worked and supposedly died on this project.


Tried Minecraft:

This could come in handy now that I know about it!


I also just learned people can make their own IA (Instant Answers) and contribute to DuckDuckGo:

This is their page to aid in DuckDuckGo's improvement.


The "shruggie" Instant Answer has been helpful with the rise of Slack et al.


I have a TextExpander macro for ¯\_(ツ)_/¯, which has improved my efficiency by several orders of magnitude.

It is sad reading the impact section at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Davy_lamp

"The introduction of the Davy lamp led to an increase in mine accidents, as the lamp encouraged the working of mines and parts of mines that had previously been closed for safety reasons."

and

"Another reason for the increase in accidents was the unreliability of the lamps themselves. The bare gauze was easily damaged, and once just a single wire broke or rusted away, the lamp became unsafe. Even when new and clean, illumination from the safety lamps was very poor, and the problem was not fully resolved until electric lamps became widely available in the late 19th century."

Seems like it wasn't as successful as it is made out to be in this article.


An extreme example of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Risk_compensation. I was somewhat disturbed when I first learned that this is what actually happens.


'Totally honest' about lying and what was done to achieve a higher salary.


I can only login with Twitter? Websites that only have OAuth login are a bit annoying but usually have 1 - 4 different options so I usually have an available account.

Only having login with twitter is preventing me from listing a group and probably a few others as well.


Yeah I can understand the frustration. Reason for Twitter is identity credibility. I would have added FB as well but this was churned out quite quickly.


Twitter is just as bad at identity credibility as having your own user accounts I would of thought. There are numerous accounts on Twitter with unidentifiable entities?


For egg accounts, sure, but for anyone with > 1,000 tweets, a real photo and > 500 followers, the level of credibility should suffice for most people. What providers would you add in?


Right, so the users can figure out if the user is credible and you don't do it yourself, got a bit confused there.

If users want people to join their groups then they would add their verification regardless, eg register on the site and then in some bio I could add my SO, github etc...


I got 4620 and felt like I had no idea if I was getting any correct from 4000 onwards! If there was a leaderboard this may consume a lot of my time today :)
