I think you're overreacting here. Impossible Burgers are slightly different, nutritionally speaking, from regular burgers, but it's not like one is 100% carbohydrates and the other is pure protein. They're relatively similar.
Why doesn't the same apply to jokes and politics spats?
I am not upset, I am neutral. I am merely answering a question with as much objectivity as possible: Providing examples of GitHub censoring projects to someone unaware of this, without adding my own views on this. It was quite curious seeing the, at least, 3 downvotes the initial link received.

GitHub makes judgment calls on what to censor: They deem a project name offensive, they deem some piece of code stolen (unless the NSA admitted to them it was legit, they had no confirmation), they deem publicly available data crawled from the web PII or harassment instigation.

Unless you do not classify these examples as censorship, it is what it is.
Out of curiosity, why not move your bedtime back a couple of hours? My own bedtime is 2230-0630 and I have been contemplating moving it back earlier to get more out of my morning as I tend to start work between 0730 and 0800.

> But my main concern is the aspect of "tricking" the brain into thinking it is consuming beef by mimicking the texture and taste (which is their goal) but instead consuming something with different nutritional value.

Does the "brain" (which I am specifically using in a biological sense, because it seems like that's what you meant instead of "people in general") actually care about texture and taste when consuming food? I don't see how this could be dangerous, except if people somehow eat a dozen of these and nothing else and somehow the brain "thinks" it's gotten nutrients that it hasn't.

I believe what they try to achieve is beyond what we currently have. And if Mises was born in this age, he would've probably go to the biology level or even deeper to start his work. The tooling and data to connect the dots in his mind was simply not there. To me, he wanted something that is not approximate. For those purposes, what you mentioned might be the best tools one can have at starting stage. I think some work in micro-economics has something similar to Mises'. They can work on simulations now to have fact-based and measurable discoveries. In the end, most likely what human can do is limited to the tooling, not the understanding and educated imagination.
This is a terrible idea. When someone gives me something like this I have to try and remember that it’s not their fault and that they were probably using some kind of oracle extract.

This project claims to implement “the same algorithm Apple uses to compute native layout”. For those who haven’t built apps for iOS or macOS, Apple’s Interface Builder utility lets developers specify constraints on how elements of a UI view should layout and the layout is determined while the app is running by an algorithm so that it can adjust to device rotation or device size.

The most recent commit in the associated GitHub repo was made on September 1, 2016. Does anyone know why? Is anyone aware of continued work on this sort of constraint-based autolayout for the web?

It's interesting that Amazon Web Service (AWS) makes them profitable, NOT the e-commerce business. Like many others, I buy plenty of stuff there, but without their cloud infrastructure, there would be no Amazon. In fact, they found a way to monetize their excess cloud capacity for their e-commerce platform which is probably the most expensive resource to build and keep idle is a stroke of genius in hindsight.

I'm not sure I buy the logic of ignoring improved detection when it comes to survival chances. As the article and pretty much everyone else tells you, early detection is the key to a better prognosis in most cancers. If all malignancies proceeded to stage IV before detection, survival rates would be very low despite the medical advances we've made. Successfully treating a cancer, usually indicated by being cancer-free 5 years post-treatment, is not discussed in this article at all and seems like it would provide some evidence for or against cancer treatment getting better from the perspective that matters most -- the likelihood that a diagnosed cancer will kill you.

> many nuts milks are also bad for the environment - much better to just eat the nuts

I'm don't disagree with the rest of your comment, but I think the better comparison here would be to compare nut milk to what it's substituting for, which in this case is regular milk.
>"Does the "brain" (which I am specifically using in a biological sense, because it seems like that's what you meant instead of "people in general") actually care about texture and taste when consuming food?"

Yes... haven't you ever eaten food and liked/disliked the texture/taste based on what you expected?

>"I don't see how this could be dangerous, except if people somehow eat a dozen of these and nothing else and somehow the brain "thinks" it's gotten nutrients that it hasn't."

No one thought making grains (carbs) the basis for a diet would be dangerous but now we have an obesity epidemic because people don't feel full after consuming sufficient calories for their needs. Consuming too much or too little is entirely a "brain" (of course various hormones, etc that lead to cravings are involved) problem. If you feel full at the appropriate time you will never over-consume.
Problem is DARPA already did this decades ago: the work of Roger C. Schank, Robert Abelson et al was supported by then-ARPA and resulted in many works. The most commonly cited is the book "Scripts, Plans, Goals and Understanding".

The recent DARPA release would make one think that DARPA and the US military had no institutional memory. There are many military intelligence systems based on Schank et al's work that have been in the field for decades. Much of the work was justified by the "war on terror".

It is ironically as if DARPA were trying to find a way to release knowledge about AI that the government already possesses and has used (albeit primarily for clandestine purposes) for decades. That is, a "parallel construction" for part of the history of AI. I don't know why this would be required however so....

Another possibility is that DARPA _indeed_ has no memory and that the left hand (DARPA staff writing the DARPA proposals) has no knowledge of the right hand (previous DARPA staff, publications and history of earlier completed and implemented AI systems).
For those usecases you don’t need (or want) a glassed form factor.

Indeed. And it is a good thing in my layman's point of view because we better explain things in a simpler way and reach conclusions with math only if it is really required. It's like qualitative vs. quantitative.

That said, no one would judge you for doing math. However, the important pieces (axioms) don't require it.

Lack of math doesn't mean anything bad. See Frédéric Bastiat and Gustave de Molinari. Both are amazing and no math required :)
Generally, fires that start close to populated areas are reported quickly, in my experience. And are responded to fairly well.

Last year, a slow moving fire in Montana that started from lightening ended up costing my parents' home after it made a small move, out of town hotspots made a shit call and lit a back burn on a Western facing slope, and then just watched it all burn down in the heat of afternoon and the height of eastern blowing winds. In other words, they lit the fire, expecting it to go west, but hot, dry winds blowing to the east blew it right onto the areas they sought to protect. Lawsuit is still pending, but my parents are at least covered by insurance, but the FWS also showed growes negligence that day, in my opinion.

Prior to that experience, we'd had 3 or 4 lightning strikes in the area. All reported locally, and crews were on site within 48 hours. Difference was, this time, the strike was in very difficult terrain, they couldnt get to it, so they let it burn. They put in fire breaks and ran hoses for sprinklers along the firebreak, but they didn't even have the lines charged for the sprinklers when they lit the back burn. Then, like I said, they just watched while homes burned that they had setup to protect.

I’ve always liked reading the sources and watching people playing RPGs more than playing them myself. So all the new litrpg’s that are coming out these days (eg on royalroaddl) have been great for scratching that itch. I wonder if this is related to the current resurgence?
>Alcohol is a cheap, ubiquitous drug that helps us relax today, for a roughly proportionate cost which we can pay tomorrow

While I like this metaphor I don't think it's really true. As long as you drink in moderation the relaxation benefits easily outweigh the negatives. Of course, the converse is also true, you can drink so much that the negatives dwarf the positives.

The point is that they're cutting 10% from planned production, rather than previous quarter production. This implies less than projected demand, which means they may miss their sales forecasts.
The idea that alcohol helps people relax is actually an old (and incorrect) way of thinking about alcohol. The 'relaxtion' that is felt by alcohol is actually due to its addictiveness, and the cycle it puts you in. By drinking, you are entering a cycle where you crave the next drink, which is why it 'relaxes' you, it is actually just removing the very craving it places in you.
For beginning speakers, I feel the number one piece of advice is to practice the talk. Practice to an empty room if necessary, all the way through. If you're like me, it's extremely painful the whole time, but I always regretted not practicing enough.
I have the pleasure of working with massive health systems who don't want to upgrade their system to use new API specifications from their vendors.

Over the last 10 years we have made 5 new versions of our API, and most of our customers are all using the oldest version.

Maintaining those old servers/endpoints is starting to add up, so we are in the process of migrating all our v1 and v2 APIs to use our latest API using Node Red.

Node Red has every piece of functionality we need to present the same exact API that our customers are currently using, but backed by our most (easily) maintained version.

There are some corner cases where the new API doesn't quite match the old API, but we can still reuse the old API routes as needed, or migrate that functionality into a newer one if desired.

So far we have been able to transparently migrate customers away from their existing version without a hitch.

To me it feels more like a reactipn against neoliberalism, and a return to more traditional ways of living and working.

I see it as possibly quite a positive way of dealing with jobs being automated away. Who cares how efficent production is if we have other companies producimng stuff efficently already. Let's use the time that efficiency buys us to make something special and unique.
Production is moving from China to here. Production here is much cleaner. Of course China lies about its pollution numbers. Why wouldn’t they? They heavily exaggerate about the GDP numbers. In Congress the Natural Resources Committee has also shown pretty conclusively that China has paid off the large environmental groups in the US to not speak of / address situation in China.

We don't put out many emails, just using it as a way to make sure the early production goes out to those who care the most.

And now you're tone policing. I said just what it makes me feel like. You interpret that as a baseless attack on the author. I interpret it as honest feedback, how I feel about my inner geek. You are projecting your malice on me.

If an artist told me "tell me what you think, but please keep your language moderate because I'm sensitive", I'd think they were doing themselves a disservice. You're clearly willing to not do that disservice to me. Thanks for that. Why shouldn't we give the artist behind this project the same privilege?

Blockstack is an architecture which supports gaia storage, wherein the blockstack api supports routing the Blockstack identity via the BNS naming system to the users gaia hub, where they own and store their own data.

Gaia is not necessarily dependent on Blockstack, but it was designed to be modularized within this design, so users can control where their data is stored, which is not necessarily the case with IPFS.

It is pretty darn cool :)

Interesting that even youtubers with millions of subscribers still have to deal with this stuff. Would be interesting to know how many smaller youtubers got owned by fake claims and we never see any videos about it.

Since this has been going on for years I wonder if youtube has even any plans to deal with this nonsense or just ignore it and force youtubers to create their own platforms like Linus and Floatplane and move their audiences there while smaller ones will have to move to something like peertube.
Learning another language, if you've already learned a few, it's a very small cost if the other benefits are big. After all, many of use learned some of the languages we learned because of the benefits that came with them.

I learned Java because of the promise (long ago) of write one run anywhere.
I learned Ruby because of the promise of Rails.
I learned Go because of the promise of fast and single-file-executable (maybe not the best reasons, but those were my excuses :) ).

You'll find that alcohol is a lot like cigarettes. Cigarettes used to be everywhere, even doctors would prescribe cigarettes to their patients. Then people started slowly waking up to the idea that nicotine is a highly addictive and toxic substance. People started looking at cigarettes differently, they stopped putting cigs in movies, and people stopped glamorizing cigarettes in the media. Now we have big warnings on all cigarettes saying how bad they are for you. In some circles it is even uncool to smoke cigs.

Marxism took the same approach--attempt to derive absolute truths about the empirical world using pure logic. I don't know if Mises actually applied Hegelian dialectics, but the fundamental approach seems similar. It's all very German--compare Einstein's approach where he generates imaginary paradoxes and then finds higher truths in their resolution.

Problem is, the real world is messy. Some aspects of the world are susceptible to logical reductionism, but not all of it. Enough of it is arbitrary that you very quickly fall off the rails, even when it's not obvious. A theory can often seem superficially more consistent than it really is simply out of coincidence, insufficient precision, or insufficient predictive power. In the real world the proof is in the application.
