OP said they ordered it well done (because there were no other options). So if it tasted like a well-done beef patty then I'd call that a success.

If the OP didn't like it because they don't like well done burgers in general then, well, I'm not sure what they were expecting when they ordered one.
Metafilter remains one of my favorite places on the web and it has strong and serious moderation. I'm not sure how that would translate to Facebook, since I am not sure Metafilter's voice needs to be the same voice everywhere, but moderated discussions seem pretty strictly better than the alternative.

For me this always goes back to the observation that corporations are fairly dictatorial constructions, and that especially when it comes to communication networks the decision makers are quite insulated from the huge number of people actually talking to one another. What would a company that gave representation to its customers look like?

It could be modeled after the US government, as an option. The company of today becomes the executive branch, you add a legislative branch that customers can be a part of. There's where you influence the product, there's where you define the rules of engagement on the network. And a judicial branch can determine if those rules are being followed correctly, etc. This is a rough cut, I'm interested in more refined takes on how a company could escape the dictatorship model that is taken for granted these days.
It also mentions that he had them out and was using them.
In our case the school was almost completely unstructured and "play-based" was quite literal. The teachers would organize projects at "stations", but the kids were free to completely ignore that and go outside and play on the playground the entire time if they wanted.

Of course teachers and parents played up the projects the teachers worked on, and encouraged learning through play (e.g. understanding why the sand fell the way it did or how the swings worked, etc.). But it was very indirect and light-touch.

What we found was most kids naturally gravitated to things out of curiosity. Most knew the alphabet, days of the week, numbers and the like by the time they went to kindergarten. Many could even read and do simple arithmetic.
I care about noise and fuel efficiency. I'm getting roughly the same milage as I got on my eco rated goodyears, my car is 5 db quieter at 70 mph. My old tires used to start squealing on clover leafs at ~40 mph (with lackadaisical line selection) and my new tires don't squeal at 40 mph. I've never taken a clover leaf faster so I don't know the limits, and I get the impression that these tires would wear fast if you drove aggressively, they seem to really dislike any sort of scrub but they have a 50k mi warranty and the tire shop gave me a fair price on tire replacement certificates so they can't be all bad.

I haven't tested these tires in the cold and I don't intend to - I have a winter wheel / tire set with WS80 Blizzacks. The chinese tires seem to struggle with rain but not to the point of reduced safety (at least compared to my old tires).

Lastly, the side wall seems to flex in a very predictable way, I was very surprised by that. The tires are 225/60r16s so the side wall is relatively tall, and the suspension in my car is somewhat imbalanced, the weight transfer can sometimes be abrupt and my old goodyears would flex dramatically and suddenly, these new tires flex very progressively and it's easy to feel what's going on even though my steering isn't particularly communicative (it's a 2001 Toyota hydraulic system). I think it's because my car has double wishbone suspension at all 4 corners and the suspension controls the camber of the wheel very well throughout the suspension stroke.
It likely isn't a top priority for Samsung, so resources on it could likely be better. I presume if Samsung decided to actually pull the trigger, they'd release one last Android phone while massively ramping up the scale of their Tizen division to get it ready to ship.
I don't think patents have anything to do with this case. In fact, patents are designed to remove industrial espionage out of the equation.
It's my understanding that the Impossible burger _has_ to be served medium-rare; otherwise, you're boiling off all the myoglobin (the stuff that makes it taste meaty) and just tasting the pea protein (the stuff that's in every other veggie burger). It's unconscionable that they'd serve it well-done. (Though knowing Umami Burger, I'm not exactly surprised.)
> not sure how efficient texture sampling in vertex shaders is

On a modern GPU, it's basically just as efficient as in pixel shaders, with two caveats:

1. If you want mip-mapping, you have to do LOD calculations yourself, which is likely a bit slower. (Not an issue in what you have in mind.)

2. There are questions around the locality of your memory accesses. As long as you lay out your vertices more or less along a space-filling curve (which is a good idea for grids anyway, due to vertex reuse) you should be mostly fine. Obviously the details will vary depending on the exact architecture.
I think it's pretty common, but the good news is that it usually only lasts about 40 years.
> Do you mean that by reducing the physical weight of her body you think the sidewalks would somehow be easier for her wheelchair to navigate?

Yes of course. For uneven pavements and similar. It's simple physics. It sounds like it would need a redesign of the wheelchair to go up full kerbs, but it would definitely be easier to design that wheelchair if the weight limit was 100kg rather than 150kg.
FWIW, they're claiming the whole system (motor operating at optimal state point + IVT gearbox) is more efficient than the usual whole system (motor operating far from optimal state point due to size and weight constraints + fixed ratio gearbox). Which is not immediately implausible.

That's the definition I'm using. I don't understand what's so noteworthy or funny about that example for it to become a meme.

Well, maybe it's to signal "I have the latest!" (as opposed to a few-year-old one) rather than "I spent $70 more!"

But I don't get it either. I always bought my iPhones when they did the hardware revision (the "s" models), not the design change.

It's like how folks said Starbucks cups were a status symbol. On what planet does $3 buy you status?
The fact that they argued that leghemoglobin is safe because it is similar to other globins is kind of weird. A chemistry professor once told me that the chemical Thalidomide is a medicine that can be used to treat morning sickness, but if you only reverse the chirality it can cause birth defects.

In case you don't know, if you reverse the chirality of a molecule it is essentially what the same molecule would be when viewed in a mirror, with all it's directions reversed.

The article seems to paint Kotlin as not really much of a functional language as Scala is but more of a Java replacement. This is just not true. Both languages will not stop you from writing imperative code just as much as either can be used for a very functional style of programming.
It really comes down to the caliber of developer and not the language choice here.
Funny to see all these Non-Spanish commenters that think they know what they're talking about. My wife is from Barcelona. I just spent 2 weeks there. Most Catalonians think the split, and the minority of people seeking it are fucking stupid. They are the Trumpsters of Spain. Truly strange to see most people here supporting the separatists. I don't necessarily agree with Spain's methods of dealing with this but many of you have got it wrong. Like, badly wrong.
No, what you describe are the vocally self-absorbed. That category can, but not necessarily does, include some vegetarians. <insert obligatory link to a Wikipedia page of logical fallacies.>
This might be a better link based on your concern: https://kotlinlang.org/docs/reference/java-interop.html#null...

This feels like a trad-off between ease-of-use/adoption. It's effectively undefined behavior to reference a nullable type from Java. Another way to consider this is that it's not necessarily worse than working natively in Java, but it can over time be better. This trade-off seems reasonable, as there is no great answer to this problem, but it's almost identical to Java's auto-unboxing of Integer types to int.

I'm pretty sure stu_k knew exactly what they meant, and was questioning the "vegetarian types" the OP was referring to.

Just because one is vegetarian doesn't mean they care about GMO, or being healthy, or any of that stuff. This type of classification almost always comes from someone who isn't vegetarian, and its a subtle way of prescribing how they think a vegetarian should think and act.

>This is a democracy. You and I do.

Right, a whole bunch of biased people. You're making my argument for me. They don't all agree on what fair governance means. Even if they all say they support it, and they mean what they say, when it comes down to specific issues, they will be viewing those issues through their biased lens.

>I don't see why anyone should give an F

I've tried to explain that. If you expected that other racial groups were going to use their political power to benefit their own race at the expense of your race, which is a totally reasonable outcome to expect, you might be concerned for the well-being of your descendants.

>Now that I've given you...

I'm not trying to sell you on anything. I'm trying to explain why people might have a reasonable concern about changing racial demographics.
Who the fuck wants their burger to bleed? Seriously, why is this a thing? If it were real meat, I'd be even more concerned if it were bleeding, because undercooked ground meat is one of the worst things you can put in your food-hole.

> I briefly worked for Boeing once and they were working on a new fuel boom for the KC-135 Fuel tanker. Spent millions in research and then some idiot takes a bunch of photos of the blueprints and physical hardware and then sells it to someone in China. Thankfully he was busted. A company just trying to make a profit on what they spent millions developing is not inherently evil.

I'm struggling to understand how the stolen design could be turned into money. China's booms and refueling ports aren't compatible with the US versions, and no way DoD is going to buy direct from China. Best case China modifies the boom for compatibility with the Russian ports they use and then produces it in-house, more likely they see if there's anything useful to to learn from it and incorporate that into future designs.

Frankly ounds more like someone who saw a way to make a quick buck got found by Chinese intelligence, rather than actual industrial espionage - which is a fairly common story in intelligence gathering operations.
the nice thing about such a book (or series of books) is that the net number of experts could only rise, because this is an additional (and very powerful) source of information for people to use who are inclined to become experts. also, there would be a huge increase in the number of non-experts or amateurs. this is a good thing because even having a hazy idea of how things work is more beneficial to ones ability to live and carry out duties of citizenship than knowing nothing. just because there would be a lot of amateurs doesnt mean that there would be less experts from what i can tell.

Seeing how states often want to apply their rights (denying marriage equality, outlawing abortion, etc.) I don't trust them more than the Feds.

What's interesting about the current "health care reform" taking place is that there doesn't seem to be any discussion of how to actually decrease costs other than denying coverage.
The greater issue with thalidomide is that it racemizes in the body. That means even if you take the enantiomerically pure form of thalidomide which treats morning sickness, the teratogenic form will be generated in the body.

In my city (Indianapolis) there's been a moratorium on new street lights for decades, although that's finally changing.

Combining no street lights with crappy (or no) sidewalks is literally deadly. Teenaged girl was killed in a hit and run 100 feet from my front yard a couple of years ago. People in wheelchairs have been hit and killed in other parts of the city.

So many ways to improve, so little political pressure to do it.
> I wish there were more opportunities to gain those kinds of experiences and the camaraderie without having to do things you are morally opposed to.

I recently joined my local Search and Rescue team. The opportunity popped up at just the right time for me and combines many things that I'm interested in while being of service to my community. The application process was fairly rigorous (under 10% acceptance rate) we then went through intensive training in a wide range of skills before being able to respond to calls. The team has a lot of cool toys, trains to high levels to maintain their certifications, has types of access to areas of the county that the public doesn't, is on call 24/7, and directly deals with the life and safety of individuals and the community at large.

Depending on where you live, your local team might be something for you to look in to.

Do you state in you job ads that it is meteor position? Some self selection of applicants might help - you don't need someone super excited, just someone responsible and willing to do that work.

They've already announced a standalone Vive in partnership with Google:

They haven't sold it as anything but VR for now, but it could have AR capabilities. (And HTC has some sort of AR apps like Vive Paper for the standalone Vive, it has a camera).
They said they didn't have any choice in how it was prepared, and the restaurant picked "well-done" — but yes, I would call that a success for Impossible. Just because Umami Burger prepares the burger poorly doesn't mean the burger failed, since it tastes as good as a normal meat burger would be expected to when prepared the same way.
Spot on remark. Consumers should be voting with their buying decisions. Markets will eventually correct themselves.
The globin protein is going to be digested in the stomach and broken down into its constituent aminoacids (which are exactly the same as the one found in other proteins). It is probably is safe to eat.
Thanks for the recommendation. I took a look at it and it looks like it checks most of what I was looking for. It would be nice if it were a application on my NAS box so I don't have to dedicate a Windows machine to be on all the time.
They are taking artistic liberty with the term "bleed". Obviously, the fake meat doesn't have a blood analog, but it does have a myoglobin analog, which is what causes the juices secreted by real meat to be red.

Facebook could do the same thing if they wanted. Have the default be heavily censored, have option to disable aspects of it as the user desires. I presume they don't because they don't consider it a catch 22. Having people cry censorship doesn't matter to them, whereas they think hordes would leave or be forced off by governments if they didn't moderate sufficiently.

> Historians of the Spanish Civil War concur that the death toll of the White Terror (~58 000–400,000), because of its extent and duration,[12][12][13][14][1][2] was greater than the death toll of the Red Terror (38,000 – ~172,344 ).[15][16][17] The political repression of the White Terror was formal policy of the Nationalist forces during the Spanish Civil War, and of the government of Gen. Franco until 1945 — six years after the war's end in 1939.[18][19] In 2015, the government of Spain refused Spanish historians access to the pertinent government archives, open to foreign historians, which would allow determining the physical whereabouts and political fate of victims of the White Terror.[20]

> The main goal of the White Terror was to terrify the civil population who opposed the coup,[88][89][90] eliminate the supporters of the Second Spanish Republic and the militants of the leftist parties,[91][92][93] and because of this, some historians have considered the White Terror a genocide.[94][95] In fact, one of the leaders of the coup, General Emilio Mola said:[96]

> "It is necessary to spread terror. We have to create the impression of mastery eliminating without scruples or hesitation all those who do not think as we do. There can be no cowardice. If we hesitate one moment and fail to proceed with the greatest determination, we will not win. Anyone who helps or hides a Communist or a supporter of the Popular Front will be shot."

Ground meat is only dangerous if it's been sitting. Beef is perfectly safe to serve at rare if it's been ground the day of serving. Personally I think medium is the absolute minimum, not because safety concerns, but more because burger falls apart more easily the less it's cooked.

Pay more attention. Or consult the ADA's research. https://www.ada.gov/pcatoolkit/chap6toolkit.htm

The most relevant section:

"It is often difficult or impossible for a person using a wheelchair, scooter, walker, or other mobility device to cross a street if the sidewalk on either side of the street ends without a curb ramp. It is also dangerous. If curb ramps are not provided, these individuals are forced to make a difficult choice. They can either stay at home and not go to their chosen destination, or they can risk their personal safety by using their wheelchairs, scooters, or walkers to travel alongside cars and other vehicles in the streets. This is a choice that people with disabilities should not be required to make."
There are a number of techniques for solving this:

1. use a GC'd language
2. hazard pointers
3. epoch-based GC

There are probably others.

>People are not evil simply for disliking aspects of other cultures or populations.

Describing Muslims as being akin to a destructive foreign species that "breeds rapidly" (which is a trait one typically ascribes to vermin, not human beings) is not "simply disliking" another culture.

>Would you be okay with large groups of people intentionally having as many kids as they can just to affect future demographics?

We're not talking about "large groups of people," we're talking about Muslims, exclusively. And yes, I would be okay with it, because I don't see the existence of Muslims or of their children as a "problem" requiring a solution.
