They also go on to say that will not be used in the future, it is just what they were using at the time this approval process started. So it will likely be more acceptable in the future.

As a meat eater, this is very interesting to me. I try to be as environmentally responsible as I can when it comes to meat, but its still all bad really. I cannot go more than a few days tops without animal protein, or I start to get weird cravings. Could I eventually get past it? Probably, but not interested in doing so. But I certainly am interested in more environmentally friendly options, if they are safe and economical.

There's a difference between having moral worth and being a moral agent. Non-human animals (generally) cannot contemplate the ethical character of their actions, so they are not moral agents, nor should we consider them such. This does not mean they are unworthy of moral consideration. What is being evaluated is the ethics of the behavior of people who are moral agents, and there have been guide sticks for the behavior of people for as long as people have been thinking about ethics.

The name is supposed to line up with the smallest feature size. The layout of individual transistors and the layout between transistors is not going to be the same for different processes. What customers actually want is high transistor density and low leakage current. That isn’t how new processes are marketed though. They’re marketed as the smallest feature, which does not have a linear relationship with performance metrics.
> This argument that the world is more peaceful than ever is true... but it's true for a really bad reason. It's true because we have nukes. Full stop.

Not really? Nukes only come into play with great power wars, and there's not really any fewer great power wars in the past century than the century before that. Post Napoleonic Wars, the only great power wars (in chronological order) are the Crimean War, Austro-Prussian War, Franco-Prussian War, World War I, Russian Revolution/Russian Civil War, and World War II, with the three 20th century wars all being far longer and more violent than the 19th century wars.

What has dropped down considerably is the lesser wars, be they localized conflicts such as the Ecuador-Peruvian War of 1941, civil wars such as the Spanish Civil War or American Civil War, wars between great powers and lesser powers such as the Russo-Japanese War, colonial wars such as the Boer War or the Indian Wars, revolutions such as the Revolutions of 1848. Of these, the only conflict that may have been avoided by nukes is an India/Pakistan conflict--note that Israel's acquisition of nuclear weapons hasn't forestalled further conflicts with Arab countries (notably the Israel-Lebanon in my lifetime).
Remember, if you are in the US at least, and someone tells you they aren't ok, and you recommend a crisis line, and they mention anything regarding suicide, they are very likely going to be extracted from their living situation by physical force and end up incarcerated against their will, at very high expense to themselves, potentially in a way that could lose them their current housing or employment.

If their life was going poorly before that, it sure won't be better after.

The record of this could follow you around for life as well.

I understand this is considered conventional wisdom to recommend these help lines but I really think you should rethink that.
There is nothing wrong with the original Google's postulate. Your local search results are less likely to be hijacked by entities bidding for your attention. I agree with the argument for organizing the data anyway.
"it would be nice to be able to enjoy something of the sort (e.g. ground beef) without it becoming meat-flavored chewing gum"

I can't name a brand for you off-hand, but whenever I've bought vegetarian ground-beef substitutes at grocery stores, I've never once had this issue. They all tasted pretty much exactly like ground beef.

In my experience, that particular substitute is not a challenge.

There are also some pretty great vegetarian hamburger substitutes, like Boca Burger.
I’ve worked at a workplace before that had one of these software packages. It had a taskbar icon so everyone knew it was there. Still a bad show installing it, but at least less subtle than Microsoft’s efforts.

It's about branding and trust. Before any product is a popular one that prints money it's a small one looking for early adopters.

When those first adopters are deciding whether or not use the new product, part of that equation is what happens if this doesn't catch on? Should I trust them to jump on board now, wait, or go with someone else?

For instance if someone was choosing betwen two similar and new products from Microsoft and Google one factor weighing in Microsoft's favor is they will care about support, and an exit plan even if the product doesn't take off.

If this theory is correct, sounds like they want to avoid another Cambridge Analytics incident.
FWIW, if you are regularly finding abnormal things in your ground beef, then switch providers. In my experience some shops (e.g. Winco, who I otherwise appreciate for their meat selection) have a really high contamination rate in their ground beef for things like bones. A halfway decent butcher won't have the same issue, and they're not that much more expensive.
The issue is not that things are being given to private companies that are mates with a Tory. The issue is that too many of these things are turning out to be given to private companies that are mates with a Tory where no basis exists for believing they can deliver, when other, qualified companies exist. Or, as in Serco's case, with no penalty clauses in place if they don't.

Again, for clarity: using the private sector isn't a problem. Corruption is. Failing to get results is.

I'm all up for chucking money at a big problem and sorting out the mess later, but this is a depressingly predictable mess, and chucking money at the problem bought us a demonstrably worse outcome than we should have had.
> Google has the focus of a 12 year adhd kid who just ate a whole birthday cake, unless when it comes to data collection.

A decade ago I was an intern at Google. One of my mentors said something that has stuck with me: "Google found a hose that money pours out of and it's name is online advertising. All we do now is desperately try to find another hose."

Google's strategy for a long time was: Hire every clever person you can; give them some creative freedom; see if any of them come up with a trillion dollar idea.

Only now they've 'grown up'. 20% time is dead. There is no second hose. They've mostly given up on the idea of a clever person finding a new money-hose. They just focus on the one they have now.

Thanks. I agree with your concern. Apple's support answer paints a different picture.

"Your HealthKit data, including your health records, remains under your complete control. You can choose to use iCloud to keep your data up to date across your devices, choose to share your data with a third-party app, choose to share your data with Apple under the Improve Health Records program, or choose to back up your data to an iTunes encrypted backup on your computer."

https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT209519

I interpret this to mean we maintain full control who and where your health information is stored. It's only stored on your device, unless you chose to share it with other apps, and/or use iCloud to sync across devices.

As an American, if I am being honest, I trust Apple far more than I would a Chinese company--given what I understanding about the CCP.

The point is that there are very few people in the world who can currently say anything intelligent about the subject of side effects in this vaccine. From my basic knowledge of vaccines and the approval process, I suspect any side effects will be heavily out-weighed by the benefits, but right now, I have no way of making an educated assessment. To be clear, I'm not really worried about it. My point was simply that I saw only intellectual curiosity in the grandparent to my original comment where the parent saw fear mongering.

Disagree. The lack of any real contrition — let alone accountability for those responsible — makes me suspect that they consider this a PR blunder, not an ethics blunder. They'll readily build something similar in the future if they think they can get away with it.
Ah, the term "biological value" probably sounds abstract, but no that's the pedantic/scientific term for it.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biological_value

The tl;dr is that it boils down to amino-acid profile. There are 9 Essential Amino Acid's (EAA's) that human body can't synthesize from other amino acids.

A food's biological value is determined (primarily) by it's amino acid profile. It's also not just about the overall amount, but also the ratio, since the way that amino acid absorption works is on a first-come-first-serve basis and so the proportion matters almost as much as composition.

There's a list of common foods and their biological value on that page if you're curious.

Technology has become too impervious, too far off, too remote, too in the cloud, for society to begin to grapple with any of what is happening. The truth is occluded.

I think of myself as atheist/agnostic in nature, but the way we have been creating technology flies against the face of God. Humankind, the tool maker, has gotten this way by meddling with & learning about their environment. Computing is, in almost all cases, invisible, something done in a way that we can not see. It is a violation of nature. It is unlearnable.

The modern world is not too complex for any of us to understand. It is too resistant to observation to allow understanding to begin. The world must open itself again, or we face existential peril as a species; we will have trapped ourselves inside endless boxes.
No one is saying we don't have some serious problems. But it is the truth that this is objectively the best time to be alive as a human being.
For those that aren't aware, Poly was introduced at a Google IO, alongside Sceneform and Filament, frameworks for 3D development on Android with focus on AR/VR, with managed and native APIs.

Their development is on maintenance mode for months now, and even the Android team is using Unity or pure C++ frameworks, instead of Java, or now Kotlin first APIs.

Just waiting for them to lose interest on Android, ChromeOS or even Chrome!
If you have a Ham license that gives you permission on the right bands, and you are careful to only transmit on those bands, then it's legal. There are power & frequency rules, among others.

It'd be a pretty big DIY project, and quite possibly unable to be done due to physics of the dish preventing you from shifting over to the legal (Ham licensed) frequency.

> > If the array is sorted it can be binary searched to get to the change point, which improves its performance even more, linked lists can’t do that.

> And if you not doing ordered insertion you wouldn't have to move the data in the array anyway, you would keep track of the size and jump to the end, so not sure I understand the binary search comment.

It just means that if I want to view the nth element of an array, that's a constant time operation. I just take the pointer and add n times the size of the elements.

But for a linked list if I want to view the nth element of the list, I have to view the (n-1)th element first, all the way back until the first element I have a reference to.

> The next question is at what level of growth the waste of empty space in the array becomes too much.

Everything I've tried and everything I've seen from people testing on real hardware is that the gap in performance widens with larger values of n.

You might expect different performance as the system runs out of memory. But arrays have a size of n * element size, and linked lists have a size of n * (pointer(s) + element size), so the linked list would hit memory limitations more quickly regardless.
> The cells used to start the process came from a cell bank and did not require the slaughter of a chicken because cells can be taken from biopsies of live animals.

I wonder how many different chickens they sampled from the cell bank. Does their entire product trace back to a single "Eve" chicken sample from the cell bank? For comparison, I read (in "Diet for a New America", I believe) that one ground beef hamburger includes cells from about one thousand different cows.

If they just need cell samples, I wonder how different the process would be to grow human meat in a lab. There might be a niche novelty market for "human burgers"!

I worked on a small dairy farm (~100 cows) when I was in high school in the 90s. That's pretty much how it works. The cows start lining up at the barn door when the time comes.

This family treated their cows very well -- they were their livlihood, almost like family. Unfortunately, policy has impacted the small farm to everyone's detriment. I'm sure corporate farms treat cows as well as they treat their people.

It's certainly not trivial, but still an interesting journey. I made a backend for MMIX, heavily influenced by the risc-v implementation, and kept the patches logically consistent by rebasing new changes to serve as an example. The last rebase was a year ago, but I think following a previous implementation is the best way forward as there is so much boiler-plate:
- https://github.com/stuij/mmix-llvm-support
- https://github.com/stuij/mmix-llvm-backend

That said, those kind of olden CPU's aren't a terribly snug fit for LLVM, due to their peculiarities. You'll have to bend LLVM quite a bit to bend it to your will, which also means that you need to get quite familiar with it as well.

edit: this tutorial is even older still, but for me it was one of the best resources, next to checking other simple backends: https://jonathan2251.github.io/lbd/llvmstructure.html

depends on exactly what we mean by "suicidal". around 4% of the US population contemplates suicide in a given year, though that number is double or more for younger people. only a minority of those who contemplate it make an actual plan, and again, only a minority of that subset actually follow through with an attempt.

if someone told me they had a serious plan to kill themselves on a first date, I would be more likely to try to get them help than to plan a second date. if they told me they periodically have suicidal thoughts, I would consider that a bit of an overshare, but not necessarily a dealbreaker. there are worse problems a partner could have.
