Accountability really can't be understated. I attribute a lot of my success professionally to having a family to support (I consider this to be passive accountability). Some things I have a passion for (music, the outdoors, grilling, etc.) and I have no problem keeping up with those things.

The few things that have really been snares for me in life, I've only been able to make progress with through intentionally building accountable relationships. It takes a lot of faith and trust to let someone into your private thoughts at times, but that for me has made those relationships all the more important to me.

So I guess the answer is "you can't". Everyone needs help. Those who don't seem to or claim not to are probably people you don't want to copy.
I'm a Bioinformatics student, so it's not for work, but I have been looking into Suffix Arrays, BWTs and FM indexes for my project.

I don't think it's true that you always don't want to be first. It is true that it is very different being first, and requires different skills, timelines, etc. Also worth remembering that a company doing a very serviceable 3rd to market may not actually be able to pull off 1st, and that's ok too.
I've been eating the Beyond Meat (pea protein) burger from A&W for a while now. It's pretty damn close to the taste of beef, I'm happy to make the switch. It has an aftertaste that some might describe as metallic, but you really have to look for it, it's not that strong.

What shocked me was how much the taste of a burger comes down to texture. There's enough toppings on burgers that you don't really get the beef taste anyways, the patty is really just there for texture!
Bingo! This is basically my problem -> I am a human detector of certain animal proteins in my food, if I ingest them my immune system gets angry. I can't be "oh its fine" about certain things in/ob my food so I tend to like vegan options.
This is kind of facetious, my friend. You haven't asked me to define any other terms in the language we are using and yet you know what we are talking about.

Likely you have formed your own opinion about the term a priori that is incompatible with popular understanding, and you wish to make a point which is not relevant to my commentary.

I have given you everything you need to understand the comment. Cheers.

Edit: if you do really want me to expand, I do take it as the conjunction of two words, one implying fairness, and another implying people or society. I also recognize that many will interpret the phrase with emphasis on protected classes, or things that ought to be protected classes that may not legally be so. Fairness is a subjective term so people will disagree. My personal definition does not matter so much since this discussion is, far as I can tell, centered around people who are not me.
Ironically I find that I (vegetarian, not vegan) tend to enjoy meat replacements that don't try replicate meat. I find the ones that DO try to replicate meats taste are just not very good at it, and it ends up tasting pretty bad. The good stuff is still tasty and savory but it's doing its own thing.

edit: Not to say the impossible burger can't be good (I've not been able to try one) Just a comment on existing products that I've tried.
I’d say it’s evidence but not proof. If the phone is full of messages saying the accuser had a wonderful time with the accused, that’s evidence that should be considered alongside other evidence. She may indeed be lying about having a wonderful time, and that should be taken into account. Investigators have to make a judgement that into account.
Ranches and feed lots are different. In the US, cows are raised on ranches until 6 months before slaughter, where they are brought to a feed lot, fattened up in crowded conditions, then slaughtered
> Not really sure about its feasability, just incredibly dissapointed in the offerings that I was presented with in our free-enterprise system and perhaps a bit idealistic about locale-specific workshops that might serve consumers better.

This "free enterprise system" offered you the craftsman who - free of the shackles of guilds - would have given you a price that you didn't agree on, for the kind of work you would have liked to have performed.

I don't understand what you are disappointed about - that skilled craftsman get to charge well for their work? That cheaply produced products don't live up to the work of a skilled craftsman? Have you calculated the opportunity cost of doing it yourself?
Yeah my experience too is that the non dairy creamers.... taste very much like non dairy creamers.

That's not necessarily bad if you like that, there are lots of product substitutes that to a good job in their own right even if they aren't what they intended to replace. I cook and there are all sorts of good products that historically were intended to replace or
augment something else and do their own thing well.

But as far as non dairy creamers go, it's just no a replacement for actual milk for me. Two similar, but noticeably different things.

Take a class, get in touch with someone who's experienced. Ideally, re-use an existing shop when you're a novice. I had about 40 hours of shop time with a teacher before I felt comfortable working on my own. Fortunately, you should be able to do this before you buy a house. Unfortunately, it's not always easy to find these services, depending on where you live.

Youtube videos and online resources are plentiful, and while they are better than nothing, they can't capture the nuanced fine motor skills that are required, and they can't point out the mistakes that you are making as you are doing them.

Access to deleted objects is detected by marking objects deleted and not reclaiming their memory until the containing pages are mostly full of deleted objects, then they relocate still-live objects and unmap the pages. That is, they use MMU tricks but they amortize the MMU cost (otherwise performance would be absolutely abysmal).

Note that they still need to rewrite object references, which is a lot like a GC. EDIT: No, sorry, they lazy patch references, though this requires some overhead.

Also, this does nothing to protect against leaks.

Interesting idea, but too-little-too-late. I think Rust is the better answer for now.

I'm unsure of the ethics of milk as food. Do milk cows live good lives? Can they? I've researched, and haven't come to a firm conclusion, but I'm not as alarmed by it, in relative terms.

it’s not blood, “it's myoglobin, the protein that delivers oxygen to an animal's muscles. This protein turns red when meat is cut, or exposed to air. Heating the protein turns it a darker color. Rare meat isn't “bloody,” it is just cooked to a lower temperature” [0]

as much as i appreciate a meatless burger, it's no-where near perfect. The saturated fat content is extremely high (15%) thanks to the coconut oil. And it's super high in sodium as well: 1240mg (about 70% of 1500). and half of it is still fat. They've still got some work to do before it can be considered healthy.

But, they say it tastes just as good as the real thing, which is quite an achievement.

Ingredients:
Potato protein, soy protein (soy leghemoglobin), coconut oil, yeast extract, cultured dextrose, methylcellulose, and food starch modified.

I thought this was going to be an article about online zombies, who are alive but act like trolls (is there a word for this?)

So for example, say I post a political, religious or otherwise controversial topic that says something about what used to be core values in the USA or something. Maybe I feel there's some fresh insight, or a way of connecting with people who don't agree with me so we can find common ground. 9 times out of 10, the same handful of people I expect to disagree with, respond and say the same thing I expected them to say.

In other words, I could have written the troll bot that would respond with what they say. It's a mathematical way of saying that their comments are precomputable, rather than coming from what we might consider free will.

Maybe I'm looking at this the wrong way? Maybe I'm the zombie, maybe we're all zombies, I dunno :-)
Yes, I did that too. Thank you.
My original post more accurately could have read "the economics of how a $1.55 meat burger comes to be."

I don't know anything specific about how the Impossible meatless burger is produced. I know that there are some tricky economics involved in beef production, specifically in government subsidies for the corn which is fed to cattle to make beef; the stream of meat "byproduct" which is turned into "ground beef"; and the huge supply of land and water rights used for grazing cattle which was obtained long ago by huge ranches for free or cheap, which any new at-scale competitor (meat or meatless) will have a hard time beating.

You're right, I was forgetting about how Google is its own internet world. The meat-space protections for labor organizers could reasonably apply to email lists, and sending a message to some internal list is easier than putting up flyers in the cafeterias.

Depends why they are vegan. If it’s for environmental or even ethical reasons a small amount of cross-contamination may not be objectionable as long as they personally are not contributing to demand for meat.
No, it's not. I wouldn't even say it's 5%, let alone 20%.

You only have to walk into a supermarket to see this is nonsense, meat vs veggie options are like 10 to 1.

You're referencing one widely debunked survey (this is about the vegan part of it, but it applied to the whole study and the vegetarian percentage claim (of 14%, not 20%), is discussed and debunked later in the article):

“There is a personality type who cherry picks easy problems from other peoples queues and then front runs the news of solving them. They create a race to the bottom environment where to survive in the org, people start competing to claim credit for insignificant problems and create pressure to neglect the valuable and hard ones. It also creates "turf," instead of collaboration.”

These people are the worst. I wonder what inspires people to waste their time like this instead of learning to do things the right way and making a real contribution. Low self esteem and bad morals?

Memory and Reference Prices: An Application to Rental Choice
Calculate the Seller's Discretionary Earnings (SDE) and usually for a web app biz like this, you can get 1.5-3X the multiple of SDE. SDE is generally the profit after all expenses plus seller's portion of salary/bonus etc. So lets say the total revenue with 22 paying customers is $10,000/Year. Your cost to run this is $2500/Year and you also pay yourself a salary+payroll tax of say $5000/Year.

SDE = ($10000 - ($2500+$5000)) + $5000 = $8500

So you may get anywhere from $12,750 to $25,500.

Since your business is only 1.5 years old, getting a 3X multiple will be very hard. Most likely, you will settle between 1.5-2x.

Depending on the actual revenue (since you didn't disclose), you can sell it on sites like flippa.com, empireflippers.com, sideprojectors.com, 1kprojects.com etc. It all depends on the revenue.

>It is totally propped up by with subsidies from the US Government. They LOSE money on every cow slaughtered.

I don't think the math works out on that one.

This page [1] gives total meat consumption per person per year as 222.2 lb, which would be (x320 million) = 71 billion lb/year.

This page [2] gives total farm subsidies (which is a high estimate since it include all subsidies not just those to meat) as $20 billion.

So, that's $0.27/lb as an upper bound on the magnitude of the subsidy.

I had some semi-custom wood furniture built locally by an US company recently. You pick the basic design, wood, finish and all the details from a brochure. Its ready in a month. It was not like top end custom construction but definitely better than the cheap quality import stuff at a slightly higher price. I think there are a lot of these companies around but just not well advertised.
We are still producing at low quantities, but we have a pathway to bring down BOM costs with scale.

This may sound ridiculous but what I really want to try is an Almost Impossible burger. The flavor and texture of a regular Impossible burg was a bit off from a regular burger but still tasty and close to an all beef experience. I wonder if mixing in a small percent of beef will still achieve the goal of drastically cutting meat consumption while still giving beef consumers their fix.
I think more needs to be done to promote grass fed beef as well. If done well, it can have a negative carbon footprint, versus imitation meats which have many of the same problems that grain fed beef does (monocropping, destruction of local ecosystems, use of pesticides, etc.).

Thats what I meant when I wrote "but they only indirectly pay for what they get (the landlord pays it from their rent).".

The other poster explained it better than me, but basically it's too indirect. A renter sees rent go up, but not always why it goes up. We had that happened in our city, where people voted for an exceptional tax increase, which immediately got passed down in rent increases, and then people complained about -that-, not making the obvious link.
