> big pharma spends more on marketing than R&D:

So what? They clearly believe the marketing helps them make more revenue with the drug; that has nothing to do with covering the cost of R&D.

Your argument would make sense if marketing reduced their ROI, but they clearly believe it does the opposite.

I'm sure developers in San Francisco spend more on housing than on professional/personal development, but that doesn't mean one is precluding the other.

How would you re-orthoganize the problem statement? (Statements, actually)
That would be interesting.
So what you're saying is that continuing your current beef consumption is a neutral activity, while trying to cut back due to environmental impact is simply virtue signalling? Maybe the people trying to cut back are ahead of the curve. Maybe those people realize that if the worst effects of climate change and population growth come to pass, that cutting back now could mean the impact on beef supply in the future is mitigated. I guess, in that case, the "unpretentious, lower class people who hate yoga" would have those tree huggers to thank.

Peoples' preference for war hasn't changed either (most people don't want it), but we still find ourselves in conflict at every turn. That's because you can't go too long without confronting the objective physical reality of scarcity of resources.

I've had the impossible burger on multiple occasions. Every time I've had it, it felt like whoever cooked it either didn't care or was trying to present the burger as basically as possible to try to demo it as a discrete product. The trouble is, that's not how anyone over the age of 10 actually eats any kind of burger, so it's not really a fair presentation. If you actually season it (it absolutely needs salt and pepper) and put on equivalent toppings and condiments, it's really not bad at all in my opinion. I tend to view it like soylent. It's definitely not as good as a good beef burger, but it's good enough to consider eating regularly for convenience and health reasons.
The reasons you listed are largely why I don't care that the escape key is gone from where it was.

I had a recent 30 day delinquent payment reduce my credit score by 80 points. And this was because the letter in the mail was mid-delivered. Not that the credit card issuer, nor the credit agencies give two shits. This was after about 5 hours of calls ping-ponging between the two.
This is just a complicated way of saying the same thing. Of course a jet engine is not just a really fast propeller. And if you hooked a "bag of air" to a propeller, that would also work in space.

Either way, an LED is not generating any meaningful thrust, and pointing that thrust at a sail adds no benefit.

But that's the problem. Businesses are always going to scream about their product, there's no easy way to put restrictions on that and still have a free market. Remove advertising and incumbents have all the advantage. Word of mouth is powerful, but it can't be done alone.

Random walking is my all time favourite thing to do in Bangkok. Although I'd recommend getting out of the CBD. Yes, tech events are great, but I prefer the slower, quiet pace of somewhere like Southern Phuket, or the diving in Koh Tao.

Visa is trivial, English is everywhere, if you're splurging, you could spend however much you want, but it's easy to live cheaply. Rent is something like USD500-800 for the month if you don't even shop around. Food is pretty cheap that I'm not even sure how much stuff costs. A 1 hour massage is about USD10, although you could splurge to about USD20 if you really want to.

That said, while I love Thailand, I'd have to say that Vietnam is still my all-time favourite SEA country to visit... but Thailand does keep drawing me back. I have a favourite beach spot and Kana Moo Grob really hits the spot.
I purchased a package of Beyond Meat Burgers after the IPO stock skyrocketed, to see what all the fuss was about.

The texture is like a persian koobideh kabab, the taste is meh, but I couldn't stand the ammonia like smell. The aftertaste lingered for most of the day and I had to ventilate my kitchen to get rid of the odor. I'd rather eat a Dr Praegers veggie burger.

Their Beyond Meat Sausages (Brat) are much better but I'm not sold on the idea of these processed foods.

I didn't buy any Beyond Meat stock.

Sure TSMC is more focused but Intel has dramatically greater resources. Their R&D budget is ~5x TSMC's and ~10x AMD's. You have to be pretty badly distracted to fail to produce superior products with such an enormous budget advantage.

Intel technically accepts outside fab contracts but they haven't had any customers since they bought out Altera, their previous only customer.

we, as humans, define needs. air is most essential. water is second. food less so, but not having it will still kill. then there is housing, which isn't strictly necessary. healthcare, which will expand your expected lifespan. and this is where things start to differ: europe thinks healthcare is a need, in usa that's very much up for discussion. now in europe whether you have a need for travel is also up for discussion. here in nl there are foundations which sponsor the holidays of poor families, for instance.

We solve a similar problem to SageMaker but we are focused on developer experience and flexibility.

- Deployments are defined with declarative configuration and no custom Docker images are required (although you can use your own if you want)

- You have full access to the instances, autoscaling groups, security groups, etc

- Less tied to AWS (GCP support is in the works)

- We are working on higher level features like prediction monitoring, alerting, and model retraining

- It's open source and free vs SageMaker's ~40% markup

We're all supposed to take it as just a fact of life now that we need a monitoring service for a service none of us opted in to.

And who runs these monitoring services? Why of course, it's the credit reporting companies! Who else would it be. So not only do they know when fraud is happening to you, but they will happily ruin your life while knowing and charge you for the privilege of knowing this is happening to you. And maybe, if you're lucky and the tiny font legalese text is in your favor, you can stop the flow of awful things happening to you at any given moment in time. Events which may just have all been started because Equifax didn't give a damn in the first place about the security of your private information.
The basic physics at work here is conservation of momentum. Rockets work because they are sending mass in the opposite direction of the main vessel. If you draw a box around the whole system (rocket + spent fuel), you have net zero momentum.

There is a whole separate device called an EM Drive, which claims to basically violate conservation of momentum. It is highly controversial, and unlikely to be anything other than a measurement mistake.

For people unfamiliar, 'Red Cedar' in Australia refers to a tree from the mahogany family, Toona Ciliata. Quoting an easy reference:

> It is one of Australia's few native deciduous trees. The timber is red in colour, easy to work and very highly valued. It was used extensively for furniture, wood panelling and construction, including shipbuilding, and was referred to as "red gold" by Australian settlers. Heavily and unsustainably exploited in the 19th and early 20th centuries, almost all the large trees have been cut out and the species is essentially commercially extinct. Availability of this timber is now limited.

Well said. Communication is really at the core of most of the issues...it comes from the question un asked or all the little times you would have seen/heard/said something that doesn't happen when remote.
When I researched electric cars in the 80s, before lithium batteries were around, a company was selling kits that transformed a VW Beetle into a lead-acid electric car. The ICE engine could be removed and the electric engine simply bolted into place on the drive plate. The main concern back then was the difficulty of regulating the flow of electricity so that acceleration was smooth, much easier to do nowadays. The big question has to be the safety of batteries stored in spaces not designed for batteries. (Who else thought of Back to the Future and Doc's retrofit on the Delorean?)

Unfortunately, most of us did opt in. If you look at the credit agreements we sign when we buy cars, open credit accounts, enter into a mortgage, we give the lender the privilege to share our data with these credit reporting companies.
Well put. For anyone interested in the similarities of jet engines and rocket engines, read up on the SABRE engine that the UK company Reaction Engines is working on for the proposed Skylon spaceplane. SABRE is a hybrid that's designed to work like a jet engine straight from its horizontal take-off up to about Mach 5.5+ and 25Km in altitude. Higher/faster than that, it switches from using atmospheric oxygen to oxygen stored in its fuel tanks and works like a rocket engine. (Of course the technical details are far more complex than that, but that's the TL;DR.)

Using atmospheric oxygen for the early phase of flight is a massive weight savings. If/when SABRE works, the Skylon spaceplane could be a practical reusable SSTO. It could carry a very respectable payload mass (the aim is 11-17 metric tonnes) to LEO, and it could do so quite cheaply if the designers' claims pan out.

Fun fact for Kerbal fans: the RAPIER engine in the game is inspired by SABRE.
Maybe I'm being too picky? Or a maybe I'm just in the minority, bit I don't really like using Sonic. I mean, their internet works, and customer support is fine (but I've had as good a service from Comcast too).

What I find annoying from Sonic is their billing process. I dislike that they foist a random router onto you and charge you $10 a month (and charge you if you want to return it).
I also dislike that they force a landline on you and charge you another $10 on you. Who in 2019 needs a landline? What I find somewhat dishonest, is how the sell it. I get that most advertising is not supposed to reflect reality, but it's sort of strange that you get excited about ads that say and "1GBPS internet at $40 a month" and only a year later realize that you're paying $75 a month instead. And that's something that's public, who knows what else about their business is as deceptive.

I suppose that's why Sonic has survived. I suppose that's the kind of business you need to run if you want to have a successful ISP.
I've had credit card companies call me and straight up say "If you pay this right now over the phone with me and pay the $15 telephone transaction fee, this won't hit your credit report"

Between the "Pay for Delete" scams and the gamifying of your credit score through services like CreditKarma I really questions how close these scores are hitting anymore in relation to relative credit risk.
Banks and credit card issuers all pay hefty sums of money to the reporting agencies to use in underwriting their loans. They wouldn't do this if they weren't helpful in modeling risk.
This underlines how small the settlement actually was in comparison to the actual economic damage people experienced. Normally nobody shows up to make these claims because they don't actually feel significantly personally affected.
Why do you say that? I’ve seen some of their criteria and while I can’t remember a lot of specifics, it was a bunch of ad-hoc rules, not updated since before computers were a thing, only stuff you can calculate with pen and paper and all of it totally arbitrary.

> What you were essentially asking was would 100% of the "bad" enantiomer be significantly worse than a 50/50 mixture.

I literally said:

> The effects profile of racemic amphetamine is markedly different and much easier to handle physiologically than just dextroamphetamine by itself

I did answer the question... exactly as OP asked.

> For there to be a significant difference in this case one of the ketamine enantiomers would need to counteract the other's ill effects.

This is precisely the case with amphetamine, where levoamphetamine is more relaxing and subtle and dextroamphetamine is much more physiologically demanding. A racemic mixture provides the perfect combination of effects whereas just dextroamphetamine by itself can be pretty rough on you.

The difference in effect can be quite profound and drastically change your mood and behavior. I would know because I was force fed large amounts of amphetamines for my entire childhood. Name it and I've been prescribed to it.

I don't think Beyond Meat or any of the other beggie burgers will replace a good cut of Fraldinha, Vazio, Picanha, Ribs, T-bone, etc any time soon.

In Brazil we eat that - proper beef from real cows grown on grass. Burgers are seen as what they are - fatty fast food. Actual meat is something else entirely.
50 years? AR? Your vision here is way too conservative.

Did you see the Neuralink presentation? They currently have a chip with 1000 tiny electrode threads attached. There is a robotic system that inserts the threads rapidly. They plan to implant several chips with up to 10000 total electrodes for the first phase. They talked about eventually getting a version directly attached to the visual cortex.

Credit scores change constantly. What your 80 point drop told creditors is "This person might not have enough money to pay their bills, or is careless or forgetful.". You are perceived as higher risk because, statistically, you are a higher risk. Those of us who maintain excellent credit do it in part by making sure our money gets where it's supposed to. I check online to make sure payments post, or hand in payments in person, or call in the rare case these days when there's no other way to check.

Fortunately, credit scores usually recover rather quickly from one-off delinquencies if you stay current afterward. And I bet you'll be paying more attention to your bills now, won't you?

The credit score is doing exactly what it's supposed to.

Well, words, terms, notations and conventions come super cheap in math. You can call/denote "rng" anything you want. You just have to let your readers/interlocutors know about your conventions at the outset which is a standard practice in math anyway. For another thing, "r(u)ng" to me it's no different from writing "colonel" and reading it "kernel" (historical accident aside) :) There's also "lieutenant" which is pronounced " leftenant" in UK.
I'm aware this is legally the case, but I think this is yet another sign that default opt-in isn't a legitimate agreement, society has become pretty litigious and I think some of the understanding around default opt-ins during enrollment for other services and third party data sales need to be revisited.

I find them to be highly unethical and to generally result in a contract negotiated without compensation and any communication in good faith.
I think the real problem goes deeper than appealing to the palate: we have a long history of creating heavily processed foods that are disastrous for human health. A massive proportion of the first-order treatment and maintenance advice from what I'd call the ongoing "gastrointestinal research revolution" boils down to: "eat real, whole foods".

To a large extent, I bin this work in with things like Soylent, until proven otherwise: a narrow attempt to create an edible substance with poor alignment to actual human biological needs.
