I honestly kind of like the title and the angle of being brutally honest about the fact that the author (like most who are well off) actually benefit a lot from world hunger. That's an important point, not because we should support world hunger, but because if we are to tackle it we must be willing to lower our standard of living.
To quote the article in question (highlight is my own):
"[H]ow many of us would sell our services so cheaply if it were not for the threat of hunger? When we sell our services cheaply, we enrich others, those who own the factories, the machines and the lands, and ultimately own the people who work for them. For those who depend on the availability of cheap labour, hunger is the foundation of their wealth."
Before you have an opinion on it, just read the article, it's just one page. https://www2.hawaii.edu/~kent/BenefitsofWorldHunger.pdf
The UN really shot themselves in the foot by deleting it, because the title only looks bad if you don't actually read the rest of the text, which they now made more difficult.
It does explain those things! I quote:
"While it is true that hunger is caused by low-paying jobs, we need to understand that hunger at the same time causes low-paying jobs to be created."
The title is clearly thinly veiled satire and a pointed reminder that our current wealth is founded on the suffering of the poor.

But I'm sure George Kent, author of "Freedom from Want: The Human Right to Adequate Food" is actually a shill for wealthy scum.
Imagine if China, Taiwan or Korea would start doing this shit. Or maybe they already have! Maybe the device you are reading this on would explode in the event of war!
The US doesn't even recognize the authority of the internation war crime tribunal, you really think they (or any other superpower) would accept binding arbitration in matters of international relations?
I'm still pissed at being forced to write in a passive voice in university. It's awkward and carries less information, and makes it seem like nobody had any agency, science just kind of happened on its own and you were there to observe it.
I don't know why anyone would prefer something like "An experiment was conducted and it was found that..."
To the much better "We conducted an experiment and found..."
Discovered exactly the same thing when I replaced my dead Gigabyte Z370 recently! Also took me a while to figure it out.
Both those chipsets were released in 2017 so I guess it's no surprise they were made with the same thermal pads.
I think this makes more sense when read together with the announcement that they are moving to unify their compute and consumer graphics architectures.
His comments about this catering to developers also make more sense in that light.
And that they are suicidal.
US domestic policy is starting to make sense
Don't go by any general rules. If you are unsure, take it home and sit down with your mushroom guide book and go through all the ways of identifying it and separating it from similar species until you are sure, or you give up and throw it away.
Just off the cuff here are a couple of examples that violate the advice given above, golden chanterelle is very spicy but perfectly edible; gyromitra esculenta ("false morel") does not have lamelles, is supposed to be mildly flavoured, but is deadly toxic.
It's only 7.4% if you're discounting the large service sector and looking only at goods (which may be what people mean by "exports", idk). That's why our numbers differ, it's 4.2% of all exports, and 7.4% of exported goods.
Oil and gas products account for 4.2% of Sweden's exports. The gas exports alone almost rival those of dairy and eggs! Truly a petrostate if I ever saw one
Are you perhaps thinking of a different country?
Getting Saudi Arabia to sign a commitment to human rights and take part in a women's rights forum opens them up to political pressure that would not otherwise exist.
The powerful nations will never let the UN be a supernational police agency. That doesn't mean it has no value.
ls -r actually lists entries in reverse order! It needs -R as well.
cp and rm accept either.
Looking at some man pages the only commands I found where -R didn't work were scp and gzip where it doesn't do anything, and rsync where it's "use relative path names".
(Caveat: BSD utils might be different, who knows what those devils get up to!)
Not chmod related, but I've made some other interesting mistakes lately.
Was trying to speed up the boot process on my ancient laptop by changing the startup services. Somehow ended up with nologin never being unset, which means that regular users aren't allowed to log in; and since I hadn't set a root password, no one could log in!
Installed a different version of Python for a project, accidentally removed the wrong version of Python at the end of the day. When I started the computer the next day, all sorts of interesting things were broken!
Aha! I didn't get that you meant the issue was accidentally using -r instead of -R since both you and OP wrote the upper case one.
I'm a lot more used to -R so I instead get caught off by commands where that means something other than recursive :)
I mostly use symbolic mode and honestly don't get why everyone else seems to use octal all the time.
That's what -R does in chmod as well? I feel like something here is going completely over my head. Or are you-all using another version of chmod?
Yeah it's mindblowing when murder, which is pretty universally considered not ok, is somehow more acceptable to present than sex, which is a completely normal thing that is accepted in all societies.
