> Does it really correlate with protected group memberships?

Yes: "the vast majority of families (73%) who buy organic describe themselves as white" [1]

Now, you might say, "Okay then. Let's prohibit ad targeting by food preference." But the trouble is that there are hundreds of factors that correlate with protected group membership. Are you going to ban them all?

Our battery tech is pretty impressive. However, this is also a clear example of how weak of a force gravity is, comparatively.

One simple demonstration is to look at how a small magnet can combat the gravity of the entire planet when it holds an metal object in place above the ground.

Actual animal-meat burgers don't literally have blood in them. They have myoglobin, which is similar to the hemoglobin found in blood, but different. So a burger doesn't bleed, it has moisture which makes it wet and myoglobin which makes it red, but the red liquid isn't blood.

Anyway, there are 3 purposes I can think of:

(1) Looks. The myoglobin substitute, leghemoglobin, that they put in the Impossible Burger will make it look more like real meat, which will visually appeal to people who like meat.

(2) Flavor. Myoglobin also affects flavor, so again a more realistic imitation of meat. (Incidentally, apparently myoglobin content is the main difference between dark and light meat chicken. Myoglobin stores oxygen, so muscles that get used more need to contain more of it. Since chickens walk way more than they fly, chicken breasts have little myglobin whereas chicken legs and thighs have more.)

(3) Nutrition. Myoglobin contains iron. People always talk about vegetarians getting enough protein, but iron might actually be a bigger challenge. And heme iron (as found in meat's myoglobin and in Impossible's leghemoglobin) is easier to absorb than non-heme iron (as generally found in plants).
Shane Legg, one of the authors of the paper, is also the co-founder of Deepmind and it is cited in several of their papers. There are some old videos of him discussing it here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL985E81376A4D061E .
The general principle is converting kinetic energy -> potential energy (storage) and vice versa (consumption). My intuition is that using existing technology to lift a weight through lower atmosphere by >= X required meters is waaaaay more efficient than displacing ((X required meters of height) * required storage surface area) volume of Earth crust.
The main reason is unit economics. Uber is profitable in established markets however it is costly to incentivize the initial driver pool in a new area to drive around hoping for customers where customers do not expect there to be uber drivers. They also need to spend money to market their service to customers once they have paid enough drivers to be available even when customers aren't requesting uber fares.

If uber drivers are not available locally, you won't use them. However, when a local market has lots of users who expect to use the service and are able to find local drivers, it becomes self sustaining and uber no longer needs to subsidize drivers and market customers as much and so they can rake in their fees.

TLDR: they were able to raise a lot of money because they showed that while it costs a lot to grow to new LOCAL markets, they eventually make money on each user and it becomes self sustaining.

Moviepass on the otherhand loses money on almost every customer because they priced their service below what it costs to go to 2 movies a month and hoped that in the end, users would keep paying even if they did not use it more than twice a month (somewhat similar to some gyms business model), or they could strongarm movie theaters into giving them lower fees so that the 2/more movies watched per month per user became profitable.

2Gt of water was mixed into the concrete, but when you're calculating water footprint you need to look at how much water went into creating all of the ingredients. That can be pretty substantial.

That article does go on to cover the water footprint, but what troubles me is that they switch units, and report it as 16.6km^3 of water. Which seems like they're trying to obfuscate the results (they have obfuscated them, whether that was intentional or not is another question).

That's all the water for all the concrete. Which for a hydroelectric perspective, is about 5% of the volume of water behind Grand Coulee Dam, for all the concrete we currently make every year. So maybe concrete blocks make sense for power.

I routinely advise students to carefully consider whether or not grad school is for them.

The simple fact that each professor advises >10 grad students in their career is generally sufficient to open an undergraduate's eyes to reality.

Do it for love, not for money, and do it only with the recognition of the fiscal/life sacrifice that a Ph.D entails.
Wow, this page is pretty damning evidence:

https://www.facebook.com/business/success/quadrant-homes

It basically is showing that Facebook knowingly implemented a system to discriminate against people. Even the stock photos are full of white people.

Here's hoping HUD makes a big example out of them and fines them to the fullest extent of the law.
I wouldn't call a car with a driver "a self driving car".
> That's just one of the charges. The others are even more damning

Irrelevant. Your claim is that targeting limitations cover only protected class membership itself and not proxies for protected class membership. I provided an example of the HUD penalizing Facebook for allowing targeting by a proxy.

How is pointing out that the HUD is also complaining about non-proxy targeting supposed to invalidate my point about the HUD targeting a proxy?
I agree in this case, but I’d disagree if it were Apple refusing to unlock iPhones for authorities, so I’m not sure I can agree this is universal.
I don't think mock plant-based beef is a good way. It's highly processed food with a ton of weird ingredients. Fine as a snack or novelty from time to time but not good for daily consumption.

I am not worried about people's perceptions of lab grown meat. Such perceptions change quickly if a product is good. They also shouldn't think of green pastures when they see meat. They should think of the hellish life most of the animals had.

About the lack of aggregation...well, it’s sure easier to be on facebook or twitter to get info from a lot of places.

The other side of the coin is it’s a PITA to manage, there is “contamination” between the groups and anonimity is pretty hard.

A way to strike the balance can be to have a dedicated network for things one really cares about, and twitter/facebook for the rest.
Not all of them. Sometimes they are waste products of some other industry. Eg old mines / quarries.
This appears to be related to the issues I experienced with my MacBook Pro 2018. Namely, speakers crackling as I show in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S3yOaLgF6yQ. Kernel panics would happen shortly after. I'm convinced T2 is to blame.

Upgrading to Mojave appears to have fixed the problem for me, but it's too early to call as I only upgraded a few days ago.

Some of those replies scare me.

Your tweet says "MacBook Pros". Plural. I assume that means you have successfully replicated this error on other machines. Right? And I assume you did a full macOS reinstall to see if the problem went away before trumpeting to the entire world. Right?

Wow, just wow. I mean, when you convince some part of your customer base that a "a full macOS reinstall" is required before you claim its an issue, well I guess you have some loyal but misguided fans.

Did you miss out on this part of the article?

"There are more than 10,000 chemicals added directly or indirectly to foods in the US and food makers use an estimated 1,000 without notifying the FDA. In a policy statement as recent as Monday, July 23, the American Academy of Pediatrics noted that of the nearly 4,000 additives inventoried by the FDA, only about 263 had reproductive toxicology data, and developmental toxicology data was only available for two of the additives."

Better make sure those "tried and true" substitutes don't use any of those...
Graph theoretical analysis of human metabolic networks sounds very interesting, can you elaborate on that and/or point to a few papers?
>Wow, I wish I was an engineer in that era. 25 years at the same company, 3 languages over 13 years.

I work for a competitor to General Dynamics in practically the same field (as close as you can get in 2018) as Mr. Ray Livesay.

Counting the acquisition, I've been with the same company for 11 years, having worked my way up from being a technical writer to programmer to systems engineer.

When I wanted to transition from programmer to systems engineer, I went to school to get my Master's and the company paid for most of it.

Sometimes I feel like an alien, reading about other working programmers and engineers, because everyone here has their own office, has worked here for years, is happy, enjoys great benefits, the company promotes from within, and encourages professional development.

But then I go to our "competipartners" and their offices are set up the same way, their benefits are within a marginal twist of a dial up or down here or there, and when I go to trade shows I see the same people with the same employer polo shirts year after year after year.

The only reason I'll leave my employer is if, in a couple of years after I transition to "senior" systems engineer there isn't a position on a contract or program that will support my labor category.

Maybe aerospace is the field you want to look at getting into? There are no "rock star" programmers, just people who work 9-5.

It is not really appealing to most younger folks because we aren't a bunch of "hip young urban professionals" with MacBooks clustered around a communal workspace in a downtown startup incubator in a converted loft/warehouse lit by faux edison light bulbs in iron-pipe light fixtures with a pinball machine and some scooters in the corner.

We're a bunch of old dudes in a generic office park. And we're paid in "lots of money" instead of "a little bit of money with tons of stock and a promise".
Does it have to be one or the other though? What's wrong with funding projects such as the impossible burger until lab-grown meat is economically viable?

I feel like your position is analogous to saying, "I think it's better to focus on nuclear fusion. Why waste time working on renewables?" Of course we'd like to power everything with fusion, but it's not there yet economically or technologically. So in the mean time, it's probably a good idea to also fund intermediate solutions.

> Either eat real veggies or eat real meat.

Could you explain this stance? Precisely what do you find objectionable about other people choosing to eat plant-based foods that happen to imitate meat?

Edit: I see your position against the meat substitutes is primarily health-based. Almost certainly it would be harmful to one's health to consume foods such as the impossible burger frequently, but you should consider that the products that it's trying to replace aren't necessarily any healthier.
>> I've studied machine learning a fair amount,

OK, different comment because this one might be construed as a bit personal. I mean, I really hope it's not, but I've heard one too many people recently claim they know about machine learning who only mean they've heard of it in the last five or six years (2012 is the cut-off point) and only know the algorithms that are typically taught in machine learning courses at degree and Master's levels (perceptrons, linear regression, decision trees, naive Bayes, logistic regression, KNN, SVMs, K-means, maybe some deep learning bits) and who wouldn't know what the hell CART is or who Arthur Samuel, or, indeed, Warren McCulloch and Walter Pitts, were.

So I have to ask: when you say "a fair amount"- what exactly do you mean?
Fake burgers may be not be healthier. They are highly processed food made only for taste and not nutritional value. People should eat real vegetables for health reasons.

Why is this Facebook's fault? Wouldn't this be the advertiser's fault for choosing those filters?

You can also conduct illegal activity via Facebook messenger of groups, does that make it Facebook's fault?
Is this a serious question? Are you really that insulated?
If you ignore the section which prohibits overt (and blatantly illegal) discrimination then the section which applies to this case is the "intention to discriminate" clause which requires Facebook to determine intent behind the targeting of the advertisements.

And, as we all know, nobody wants Facebook to be the Thought Police. Umm, well...most people don't want Facebook to be the Thought Police but that's besides the point.

Now (if HUD's arguments are valid) Facebook needs to determine if a landlord trying to run an efficient ad campaign or is making sure the "wrong kind of people" don't apply to be tenants. Either way the burden of proof is on Facebook since they are directly accountable for the thought processes of a third party simply by giving them the ability to discriminate against prospective tenants while (one would hope) not intending to discriminate against anyone themselves.

So, yes, I'm sticking by my original opinion that it isn't Facebook's responsibility to do HUD's job of rooting out the bad actors.
It might be human nature and interesting from some perspective, but that doesn't mean it's good or fun to be a part of. It may be human nature for everyone in Thunderdome where a sign says "only one man leaves alive" to choose to fight brutally to death, but that doesn't mean we should continue or promote hanging out in Thunderdome over alternatives that encourage other parts of human nature instead.

>Sure, occasionally an otherwise obscure person might find themselves at the end of an unexpected shitstorm, but otherwise it generally affects more prominent users, who are well aware that anything mildly controversial can turn into lots of angry replies.

Short generations and very strong selection pressure can result in dramatic changes in a single human lifetime.

The T2 DOES handle much more. Last year’s T1 only handled the touchbar and fingerprint sensor.

The T2 is also the storage controller, disk encryption, and I think runs all the system management/thermal stuff.

Why is this any different from any other kernel panic? It probably isn’t. But the design is more complicated than it was last year and lots of people already dislike the existence of the Touch Bar and everything connected to it, so I can see them latching onto this is proof that that was a mistake.

I have nothing against Impossible Burgers. I just don't think it's a contribution to better nutrition or a cultural change away from meat. It's a gimmick.

My objection against imitation meat is the same I have against sugary breakfast cereals. They make people believe that they are doing something healthy but in reality they are eating highly processed food that has purely been created for taste and not for nutrition.

>But the actual problem can't be solved on Twitter or Mastodon. Each individual needs to be aware of this human problem and to constantly make an effort to notice and counteract it in their own brain (which is very difficult and error prone). Perhaps if enough people start doing that more, then cultural change will take place. I don't know.

Twitter has a profit incentive against people solving this problem. Places like Mastodon at least have the possibility of designing against the issue or somehow encouraging education about it.
