Whey protein is not of questionable utility, it's used heavily by athletes worldwide, to great effect. Other proteins can be used, but it's the most common by far.

The comparison might still not be perfect, but OPs point about needing a well-balanced diet is still relevant and important to this discussion. We don't get all our nutrients from a single source, especially not meat. So not getting all our nutrients from lab-grown meat isn't a problem. We'll get them from somewhere else. Unless you know there is a specific nutrient in meat, which we don't get from any other source, which lab grown meat won't replicate. However, that's unlikely or vegans would all be dead.

> We have a long history of thinking we've identified all the important ones, only to make new discoveries of important things, whether it's omega-3 fats, or compounds that fight free radicals. It remains to be seen whether lab-grown meat will be equally nutritious.

Don't most of these kinds of things wind up being marketing jargon which later gets largely debunked? Taking antioxidants as an example, we manufacture most of what we need already, you only need trace amounts of nutrients like vitamin C to satisfy the rest of your needs. Attempts to supplement those sources further with "superfoods," pills, etc have approximately zero affect on any metric of interest.

Depends on where you stand... If you're one of the people who comes to rely on the product, then your answer would probably be "yes".

The cost of the experimentation is people wondering what product they'll discontinue next and whether it'll be one that _they_ rely on. If you find yourself asking this often enough, you'll probably start moving out of the Google ecosystem. How is this good for Google?

Yes, I understand that products need to pay for themselves, but Google keeps drawing people into services that they then shut down. It's frustrating for users and damaging to Google. What's the cost of the damage to their reputation?

Yay, someone else that's sober.

I dont understand the constant need to radicalize every problem as we technically are "fixing" things. Less war, less natural cause deaths other than old age, less world wide poverty, the world is getting better on a whole. Still plenty of serious problems. No one should discount that. But I had to stop watching the general news the past few months because it seemed like we were living during the black death, world war 1 and 2, and the American civil war (I'm in the US) all at the same time. We're not. Things aren't perfect, but holy shit things were far worse roughly 100 years ago. Theres a point where every radical on any political spectrum needs to get hit with a belt in the ass and told to stand in the corner, same goes for the general media. We all need to take a deep breath, be grateful that things aren't as bad as during our grandparents time, quit thinking the world will end tomorrow, and calmly fix things together. But hey, that's all crazy talk and doesn't produce ad clicks for google, facebook and twitter.

"meat protein has some of the highest biological value"

By what standard?

When I looked in to this for myself, it seemed like it's very unlikely for vegetarians to have protein deficiencies as long as they ate enough calories to sustain themselves and ate a decent variety of food (which they should be doing anyway, to stave off other health issues).
True, although the fact that all of them are pretty much equivalent does mean that there's no real reason to think of it as a logarithm with 'base' anything.

Also to the best of my knowledge there's no logarithm tables that predate Napier (1550-1617), and when you try to calculate those tables you naturally stumble upon the natural logarithm (or at least a very close approximation), as the easiest way to create a logarithm table is to start with the powers of something like 1.00000001.
Keep them running and eat the cost.

Even if they can’t do that every time, it should at least be one of the options under consideration.

I feel like there’s often an argument that “keeping it running costs more than you think, because it would need updating” (or “it depends on legacy infrastructure that’s going away”), but I’m skeptical of that in the general case. Other than possibly security issues, there’s often little to get in the way of servers running happily with little or no maintenance for years.
I know Google Poly since I'm in game dev (but as a hobby these days, so all the art has to come from my non-3d-artist self or places like Google Poly)

The fact that they won't just freeze uploads and leave it up is just stupid.

People always bring up "What about maintenance costs in terms of dev time!", but at the core this is literally static assets. No fancy API, no crazy isomorphic app or something needing fat servers.

Just 3D modeling files.

Literally they could generate a static page for each asset that uses the preview image instead of the 3d viewer, stick it in their cloud storage solution, and have it exist, untouched, in perpetuity.

The cost wouldn't even register on a microscopic scale for a place like Google
I think HN tends to overplay google's product discontinuations.

If you ask someone who doesn't read HN if they've ever been frustrated with Google shutting down a product, my guess is 95%+ of people wouldn't be able to remember a single product that was shut down that they used.

One solution for Google might be to brand the products without the "Google" name prefix, until Google is absolutely sure it will be around for a decade+.
It's the massive destruction of existing biomes and ecosystems to make way for monoculture soy, wheat and other grain farms that go into cattle feed that is the issue. Free range cattle in non-savana bushland like we have here in Australia is a pretty profitable business, and has caused large scale species extinction, landscape degradation and general misery to everything and everyone not chowing down on delicious burgers 3 times a week. If the meat in there comes from MeatChowCorp's basement, no problem.
The right thing to do by Google would be to make the product available as a stand-alone application, so users can still use it even if it doesn't run on Google's infrastructure.

More work, yes. But certainly much better than what they are doing now.
Why the Military Under-Specifies and You Should Too
Yeah, there was a ton of news on that vaccine last week.

After a bit of push-back the laboratory acknowledged that this 90% efficacy was comparing a much younger vaccinated population than the one that got placebo.

That has put some doubts on the entire procedure (with countries forcing them to publish details), but it doesn't look like a real problem right now. Anyway that one high efficacy result is very likely flawed.

Anyway, what I get is that the important part is this: "Nobody getting the actual vaccine developed severe-Covid or needed hospital treatment."

> It’s really hard to describe how hard the Japanese Government has bungled the coronavirus response.

If that truly were the case, it would show up clearly in excess mortality. Yet AFAIK it does not, which would be evidence for japan as a whole not having bundled its covid response, at least nowhere near as much as europe or the US.
Apart from the financial system complexity, I actually struggle to see how the systems mentioned are too complex to understand. They’re big, yes, and full of detail - but incomprehensible doesn’t sound right.

However, I’m sure that this is true in certain cases, and I would appreciate reading about specific examples of complexity that are well hidden, so the exact nature of the complexity can be described. What complexity do people systematically underestimate? What defies all understanding?

Throwing our hands up and saying it all is incomprehensible is akin to ceding control over everything to the few that have understood everything.

The headline refers to "incrementally updated materialize views". How does a company get funding for a feature that has already existed in other DBs for at least a decade?

What is your concern about plastics?

The one plastic that is an outright poison is PVC. Widespread use of PVC is why they stopped burning trash in most places: when it burns the HCl produced eats the incinerator from the inside out.

I live in a place has zero sort-recycling which is great environmentally for aluminum cans and the biaxial PETE soda bottle in the 1-liter, 2-liter, and other form compared to alternatives such as new materials, or recycled glass or paper. (Glass involves high temperatures but is not fast, paper fibers break down permanently from reuse.)

Our recyclables are a quality product that is usually in demand, but as a commodity there is always the problem that prices go up and down.

Even with electric cars, there will be demand for hydrocarbon fuels for air travel and other use. The chemistry of that is depressing for many reasons, largely that the reactions that break large chains down to methane or that build up huge chains (such as polyethylene plastic molecules) proceed very quickly under many conditions so to get medium-size chains you have to get conditions just so and that means low reaction rates and a very big machine to make a relatively small amount of fuel. It has trouble competing with $100/barrel oil even with the best coal, reprocessing plastic into hydrocarbons cannot win.

Disposing large quantities of plastic into megastructure landfills is a possible strategy for carbon storage if we were to remove it from the atmosphere. The main concept today is to capture CO2 and inject it into a saline aquifer which is probably safe but concerning enough and not available everywhere. There is a "CarbFix" process that involves injecting 10 parts water for every part CO2 that turns the CO2 to rock but that is a lot of water.
This was historically true. Train operators pushed hard for desegragation because of the expense.
Instead of calling people stupid, perhaps you should spend some time reading up on the issues at hand. You can read about what the body needs and what is provided in lab-grown meat vs animal meat. You could learn about markets and where this is likely to end up in the market. You could learn about the actual process used and what the developers consider the risks and rewards.

One does not need to eat meat in order to be healthy. There are hundreds of millions of vegetarians world wide; that's a hell of a sample size and yet there is a remarkable lack of evidence to support the claim that they are all unhealthy.

So really, what's the problem with replacing meat?
I thought the whole point of cultured meat is that it is the exact same product? It literally just as much as meat as a meat cut from a whole animal, just without the rest of the animal. Therefore it would be just as safe as meat cut from an animal.
I doubt you can make it transmit far outside the bands it's designed for. Doubt any of those frequencies are unlicensed...
> make the product available as a stand-alone application [...] even if it doesn't run on Google's infrastructure

How would they do that? Who would pay the server costs?

Edit: Out of curiosity, is there anyone reading this comment that would be willing to pay for the infrastructure costs to keep Poly alive?
It's definitely a funny one. I hadn't heard of it but it appears to be an Instagram alike for 3D models and VR. If Google was trying to establish themselves as a first mover platform in the VR space, it's odd that they would can such a product before VR itself has finished taking off. It signals that they actually have no interests in VR going forward but it's Google so you never know, they will probably have 4 of these services at some point in the future and you'll never know when or where one starts and stops. For an advertising company, Google is remarkably bad at advertising their own products.
Good luck justifying that to whoever is paying that bill.

"Though the ancient Egyptians used heap as a general term for an unknown quantity. Diophantus, a Greek mathematician in Alexandria about 300 AD, was probably the original inventor of an algebra using letters for unknown quantities. Diophantus used the Greek capital letter delta (not for his own name!) for the word power (dynamis; compare dynamo, dynamic, and dynamite), which is therefore one of the oldest terms in mathematics. A conjunction has been used to raise a function to a power. This syntax brings out the parallelism between raising a number to a power and applying a function an equal number of times. The algorithm fails when the number of doublings is further increased."

A proposed non-commutative infix binary operator inverse to similar to the non-commutative infix binary exponentiation operator is "[x's] 'log base' [base]":

Operator symbols:
[] = implicit; vertical orientation / higher potential = implicit increasing

position on number "line" : | = addition, - = subtraction; two vertices.
triangle "ratio" : ▽ = multiplication, △ = division; three vertices.
square "The power of a line is the square of the same line" [x^2] : ◇ = exponentiation, □ = log base; four vertices...

[0|]y=y : | = next() grouping operator

[0]-y : - = inverse operator

[0|]y [|]-y=0 : 0 = identity operand

[1▽]y=y : ▽ = | grouping operator

[1]△y : △ = inverse operator

[1▽]y [▽](1△y)=y△y=1 : 1 = identity operand

[y◇(1△y)◇]y=y : ◇ = ▽ grouping operator

[y◇(1△y)] □ y = 1△y : □ = inverse operator

[y◇(1△y)◇]y [◇]((y◇(1△y)) □ y) =y◇(1△y) : y◇(1△y) = identity operand <in the infinite limit = e>
Interesting. Makes me wonder if even YAML could be brought to heel ...

There was a moment in the web's history where we were trying to figure out how to make XML, HTML, RSS, and 'microformats' all play well together. Next to that were a million authors of WordPress themes who thought 'semantics' was academic rubbish, and just wanted to make the web into another word processor. We got OWL, RDF triples, and no-one paid attention, and just carried on farming complexity.

The cries for simplification are more the result of the tooling, build chains, etc., in my mind than the core tech of HTML, CSS, JS. I'm just concerned that we redouble the complexity by inventing new abstractions to wrap the old.

> TSMC is promising at least 250 million transistors per square millimetre for its 3nm node, the reality may turn out nearer 300 million. [...]

> TSMC is already producing [...] its new 5nm node, which is good for 173 million transistors per square millimetre. [...]

> Intel 7nm is estimated to deliver around 200 to 250 million transistors per square millimetre. So falls somewhere in between TSMC’s 5nm and 7nm nodes for density.

If my math is correct, Intel 7nm could be as good as TSMC 3nm for density - it definitely looks better than 5nm. I also believe this will be the first EUV node for Intel, so that would make sense that it's competing more with TSMC's EUV powered nodes.
This is an excellent article - if marred slightly by the red-herring political moaning - but the central thesis, that we've finally crossed some sort of threshold seems a little off - the world has always been too complex to understand in the way he suggests; the difference now is the incredible scale.
I find that ebooks are ok for paperback, anything not particularly technical.

Ask HN: How do I get a word in edgeways?
I'm much more of a listener than a talker, but I do have strong opinions about things. I work in a team full of opinionated engineers, some of which have good points, some of which have poor points, but are louder than others.

I really struggle to find a pause in some conversations where I can air my views. It's got to the point where I just don't bother, rather than getting stressed about it.

What techniques have people used to ensure their voice is heard in engineering teams where everyone else has a louder voice?
That's as much of a use case as "get rich from dogecoin". Both of them are based on speculation. The "high interest" is just a derivative that shapes the speculation a certain way. Underlying it is still people speculating on cryptocurrency.
