I ask this in every thread when it's brought up and almost never get a real answer. Are there any examples of drinks with a flavorless (or very mild) option, that don't focus on imbalanced amounts of protein and body-building?

I like Soylent because it's relatively cheap (if I was just going for cost effectiveness, nothing beats bulk-buying beans and rice), I don't get sick of the taste after having it 3 times in a row, and it has a good balance of micro/macro nutrients.

I'd gladly save money by buying a cheaper competitor. Or even just support a less popular brand that's comparatively priced. But they all either have imbalanced amounts of protein that make me feel sick eating 3+ a day, or only come in "double chocolate shake" flavors which also feel disgusting after having more than one in a day.

The only comparable products I've found are Huel [0], but they don't offer shipping to the USA.

On a tangential note, there seems to be a large amount of propaganda and astroturfing regarding GMOs, and to question them often leads to being unfairly attacked. Be weary when reading comments as to what interests might be served by various sides of an argument. Nothing is beyond inquiry.
Very much the reason why MacPorts requires sudo, so it can drop to a less-privileged "macports" user for builds, without putting your own user account at risk.
I use macports. No particular reason, it just works for me and I don't see any reason to switch. It also feels more BSD-like, which is a plus for me, though I didn't dig deep enough.
"Soylent is trying to do something more ambitious than other packaged food manufacturers"

No, they aren't. There is nothing special about what they're trying to do compared to any other packaged food manufacturer. That's why they shouldn't be cut any more slack than any other manufacturer.

"It's not unreasonable to expect there to be some small hiccups."

It entirely is. If this happened to Twinkies, people would be livid. I see no reason that shouldn't be the same response here.

I suspect salting with something like cobalt would dramatically reduce the direct effects of weapons.

Not based on my understanding of H-bombs. For one thing, you need a tamper made of something dense, and depleted uranium U-238 is used if you want to roughly double your yield while massively increasing the fallout created, then it becomes a fission -> fusion -> fission bomb. Lead is substituted for weapons like the one off 50 Gt Tsar Bomba, even the Soviet weren't willing to damage that much of their territory, and there were minor details like pilot survival (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tsar_Bomba). That tamper could perhaps be made out of cobalt, or you could wrap the "physics package" in cobalt.

But it would be a fairly daft thing to do, cobalt-60 has, compared to normal fission products, a long half-life of 5 years, so that which would eventually fall out of the stratosphere would make things uncomfortable for you (normally it will decay to a de minimis level by the time it comes back down in quantity).

On the other hand, it was pure propaganda to suggest such weapons would kill all life on earth. Ignoring details like the impossibility of getting even enough distribution, and that the earth is big, really only issue for humans who want to survive it, who'd be in heavy fallout areas, and who had any time to prepare is having enough food until it decayed enough, more of a lifeboat ethics sort of thing instead of the all but explicit message that we should surrender to the USSR because we and they were so crazy we might do something like that (and evil; if we, the far more evil nuclear power after JFK and McNamara changed our policy to MAD, weren't going to do it, there was no danger).
Dunno, does "available" connote "present"?
I don't know about the Orange Pi directly, but one of the other Allwinner boards I tried would only output on the HDMI if the display negotiated HDCP. So you had to hook it to a TV, not a computer monitor, to get the picture.

In general if you want something that just works, the Raspberry Pi is a much safer bet. These alternate boards always seem to have something stupid you have to fix before they work properly.
It is also impossible to be sure that non-GMO products are safe. No amount of testing makes anything 100% guaranteed to be safe, it's all about where you draw the line on how much evidence is sufficient. That's simply how science works.

By any reasonable measure, we have plenty of evidence to declare GMO products to be completely safe for human consumption. So far none of the GMO products available to the consumers show any sign that they would be at all more dangerous than the equivalent non-GMO products. Drawing the line at GMO is completely arbitrary, since there is no evidence that GMO would in any way make food less safe to eat.

Or you can think of it this way: you are at least hundred times more likely to choke on your food and die rather than to get ill from the effects of GMO.
Perhaps it's been changed since you posted this link but I see nothing about microalgae being plants.
The argument about drugs is a strawman. Yes there is a 'D' in FDA, but there is also an 'F'. You are also making a false assumption that consumers know what's good for them and what to intake or avoid based on "real health study information" - and this is why the FDA exists in the first place. If there are issues with it performing, that doesn't mean tear it down (that would be a disaster).
Deceit in Politics; an Analysis of PolitiFact Data
The tricky thing is it's very hard to really be on top of all the evidence, so we rely on some signaling. The "granola" crowd tends to place unearned trust in organic or non-GMO products, but the "science" crowd tends to place unearned trust in methodologically suspect corporate studies with a clear conflict of interest.

I'm pretty much right down the middle on this stuff, but I tend to regard the latter as a bigger problem simply because the amount of money and lobbying involved. Think of the amount of money to be made by increasing grain yields by 1%, can we really expect industry to determine objectively that a higher yield grain is nutritionally equivalent?
Suppose the election ends, and it's time to verify the seals. Oops, they are broken. Now what?

All the seals can do is cast doubt on the results. You can't bring back the voters to try again. Even if you could, time has passed and they might vote differently. You could toss out the results, but that affects things too.

If you toss out the results, an example attack is: break the seals in areas with undesired voters

Similar attacks can be done if you call voters back. Maybe this allows for more-favorable hours or different media exposure.
>If my friend on the other side of the country says "I woke up at 9 this morning", I have a pretty good idea of what that means. If we used this new system, i'd have to mentally translate.

Mentally translate to what? If your friend tells you they woke up at 9 this morning in a world with one timezone, you know exactly when they woke up. 9.

Currently you have to know where they are currently located, and you are currently located, to figure out the time they actually woke up.
I think the main point is that you "get the hell out of there" where "there" is the crowd itself not whatever the crowd is trying to move away from.
We can only hope that your way of thinking, and people who think like you, will eventually die out.

Yes, but it also means you can use the herbicides that actually work. Less total volume required for the same effect, because it's a more effective (on plants) poison.
I believe Magic Leap has a new kind of display technology, but the article is pretty bullshit-sounding with statements like this:

"Throw out your PC, your laptop and your mobile phone, because the computing power you need will be in your glasses, and they can make a display appear anywhere, at any size you like."

Yeah sure, they not only made a new display tech but integrated the computing power of desktops or laptops into glasses. I wonder how they cool the GTX 1080 cards on your head...

> I do not pay a premium compared to traditional supermarket products

Is this comparing with organic products, or also non-organic? What is a "prosumer" in the food/grocery sense? I'm not familiar with the term in that context.
I have a degree in Molecular Biology and the utmost respect for good science. I avoid GMO products for a variety of reasons:

1. They're absolutely more likely to be harmful to the environment based on the general behavior of the companies that make them (Syngenta, Monstanto, etc.). There shouldn't really be any debate on this.

2. They have massive potential for global-scale, subtle, negative externalities. I say this as someone who knows a bit of the history of science and has seen how many times we don't understand the full effects of something new until many years later (see most of the fun and variegated chemicals we came up with in the 30s-50s). In science, the burden of proof is on the new thing to unequivocally prove itself true...not 'harmless until proven harmful.' The U.S. is very pro-business and one of the only countries in the world where you can get away with 'harmless until proven harmful.' Obviously GMOs are not going to kill you overnight and seem to have no acute ill effects. I'm a fan of having a choice in this matter and not being forcibly blinded.

3. Most of the studies declaring them safe have industry funding at their root. Most of the studies with "impartial" funding sources declare them potentially unsafe or are inconclusive. "It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends upon his not understanding it!" Careerism and loose morals in this field give me plenty of reason to at least be skeptical of a Pro-GMO general consensus...and of overly enthusiastic new science in general.

4. I'm morally opposed to supporting products that support mucking with an already perfect product, namely real, clean, unadulterated food. To feed the world, we need better distribution and smarter farming practices, not the sort of "solutions" that Monsanto et all have peddled (see what's happened in India where adoption of GMO seeds was widespread).

Edit: spelling.

Yep you could have made do with a cheaper mac.
A CSA isn't necessarily a co-op or farming collective or anything like that, though--it's a way to increase the small farmer's revenue, thereby enabling more expensive means of production / better quality / different goals, by cutting out the middlemen--isn't that so?
I'm pretty sure the signal cut out because the Soviets feeding it energy realized we were on to it, the guys weren't hammer the seal with the device when it cut out. Unlikely we'd not finish the job in discovering it, but that was the least worst thing they could do at that point.
I wish this were a joke. A tampon is unambiguously designed for women. Video games are designed for those who enjoy them.
I'm pretty sure the mobile CPUs support at least 64GB of DDR3. So the memory subsystem would be desktop class but they could use the same mobile CPUs. Seems to me that might have been an option if they didn't also shrink the battery.
That shouldn't be paying customers.

Yeah, the simplest explanation is exactly that. What evidence is there that they're better than the current HMD race that is rapidly progressing?
Well some plants are just poisonous and not fit for consumption. Specifically adding poison is a risk. And that makes it a tradeoff. But add to that these plants did not need to survive on their on in nature for millions of years. Instead are cultivated/protected very specifically.

The eu judgement is not the result of a public scare, I don't think.
>It's also worth noting that "too difficult to harvest from an economic standpoint" is a moving target.

Good note. Oil is fairly inelastic. I would say terminal velocity on that would be just before it costs the same amount of energy to extract energy. That can be converted to dollars just as well. That's a good thing about renewable and alternate energy, it erodes that inelasticity so when terminal velocity hits, we aren't all breeding horses again.

I was originally thinking 100% lived-in, by anyone wether they are the owner or not, and precise data down to each housing unit. That definitely gets into shades of grey when you consider vacations and second homes, or even granny flats! What if someone owns a house but goes on vacation for 2 months every year? If you just want data you can probably trust residents to self-report this but if you were trying to implement a vacancy tax that might not work.

Deduping 650k emails in Snowden way
It's not a subject that I have done a ton of reading on, but from the many random articles that I have read over the years, it really seems like the bulk of nutritional science is still pretty much trial and error... Hence the new studies that seem to come out ever other month saying that eggs are good/bad for you... or coffee... or soy... or algae... or multi-vitamins... or gluten... or berries...

For something that affects us so deeply, it seems like we still know remarkably little about how food affects our bodies/minds. Any research that the Soylent folks do or read is helpful, but I wouldn't expect them to do a 5 year study and be able to suddenly say without a doubt that they have a the perfect formula.
> Farmers have been doing genetic modification to plants and animals for thousands of years

Not with a gene gun, they didn't. Genetic modifications through hybridisation and other traditional methods are protected by cellular mechanisms that are bypassed in GMO.

We'll only see the problems after the corporations make their buck, just like when they gave Thalidomide to pregnant women, blood products with HIV and hepatitis C to haemophiliacs and baby bottles with endocrine disruptors to parents who believed in the magical power of science.
2 of the scientist work at companies that make money from GMO products. I'm sure they are brilliant scientist but in this capacity they are marketers.

The Zero is a very different devboard, though - you will need to invest in assorted adapters and hubs if you want to connect it to just about anything other than power... it is useful in small spaces, but for anything else spending a little more to get something like the CHIP is well worth it, and for use a small PC, going to the RPi 3 is probably wiser.

Nothing in your post was close to reasonable.
How many products claim they're for everyone? Why not go after one-size fits all baseball caps too? It's just another round of marketing bullshit.
The Monsanto claim is that the plant is resistant to the herbicide, and thus you can apply the product earlier in the growing cycle. That kills weeds and allows you to use less product.

"Buy our GMO seeds and spend more on inputs" would be a fucking terrible sales pitch.
>That said: the industry is really built around conventions and culture. Guys making games for guys. Marketing to guys. The entire culture skews guys.

Then there is roughly 50% of the population not being serviced. Hire some female talent, get some investments on your easy-to-market product, and make yourself rich via a successful business catering to the female demographic of gamers.

If one fails in such a large, uncatered to market, it is one of three things:

1) Failed marketing
2) Failed product
3) Your assumptions were wrong

I always see talk about how things need to change - but nobody wants to put their money where their mouth is. If the problem really is a chicken/egg problem then hatch an egg.

The problem: There is no large female demographic of gamers for devs to market to. There is no large female demographic of gamers because there are no devs marketing/making games for them.

The problem as I see it is that nobody pays attention to games like Neopets or Candy Crush skewing female. Girls and woman are marketed to by entirely different genres of games. My money is on the fact they are more interested in the games they're buying and playing and that the industry has enough money and research to have a good idea of what they're doing.
Your comment gave me an interesting thought: how would a labeling system that describes exactly which modifications were made to the organism in question work?
Lightsail (which uses regular physics) is doing that, launching a breadbox sail and a second proximity measuring cubesat along with it.

So there's the challenge of building the space-rated devices, with all the testing. It's got to have independent power, have a set of tests defining "it goes" and not, and you've got to consider that LEO isn't really space, it's freefall in a gravity well and magnetic field with tenuous atmosphere. And it's expensive!

That will all take a lot of bench testing. So the project needs access to shielded, vacuum rated facilities, and so on. Testing satellite engine concepts with a 2D model (effectively a huge air hockey table) is also common. This would all be done to both build the satellite and to prove the concept. So they need to do the bench work first.

My first thought when seeing that chart was "How to lie with statistics".

Stacking those graphs in that way only is valid if there are no double-countings in the data. New York is large, but I think/guess (I know little of street layout in NY, but looking at coordinates, Layafette street at Astor plaza and Second Avenue at 7th Street seem fairly close to each other) that is unlikely.
I believe this is the case and sadly it stems from a case where a Canadian farmer[1] got positive PR by playing the relative David to the Monsanto Goliath (to the detriment of Monsanto and by extension GMOS). IIRC, the farmer was in the wrong [by court decision --not wanting to pay IP fees] but people only recall the an overbearing corporation suing a farmer, whereas the farmer was trying to use GMO seeds without having to pay Monsanto their licensing fees.

I am of the opinion that men and women are biologically different, and this leads to psychological differences that create social and cultural differences between the genders. However, unlike many, I don't believe that the differences between the genders are evil, and I don't believe that we should be breaking down all of those differences in the name of equality.

With that said, if you see potential in the market, by all means make a video game targeted towards everyone & get rich. That is your right.
