Honestly, at this point Google products should come with some kind of versioning and labelling for commitments.

It would be far easier to choose Google services (and less irritating as a consumer) if services were labelled alpha, beta, production, and LTS, and if each of those labels had a specific duration (e.g. alpha services can vanish immediately without warning; beta have a limited lifecycle where they need to become profitable or at least self-sustaining, production are generally stable and can be relied on for a year, and LTS will be supported for a specific period of time, backed by enterprise support agreements).

But that's just crazy talk!
I have mild moral qualms with killing and eating animals (treat others the way you want to be treated).

But unfortunately, meat protein has some of the highest biological value, outside of egg whites/whey/dairy proteins.

When you factor in how cheap low-grade meat is, it winds up being incredibly economical to just eat a bunch of $2/lb chicken and whatnot. Especially if you're trying to eat upwards of 200-250g of protein a day, it gets expensive fast.

So I have sort of accepted this hypocritical double-standard, where I recognize that what I am doing is not entirely ethical but at the same time it's too practical for me to give up. Plus, I love meat.

Lab-grown meat at somewhere near the price of regular meat has been a dream for me because then I get to have my cake and eat it too. Don't have to give up meat, or try to substitute non-meat proteins for it, and no actual sentient being has to suffer and die in order for me to continue doing so.

Huge win-win, can't come soon enough.

I would eat the plant-based stuff if someone could prove comparable biological value and the price was the same or only marginally higher, too.

I really don't care, as long as it tastes (doesn't even have to look) like meat, and the bodily effects are identical.
Any decent manager shouldn't care but you can easily automate a python script to do some non consequential key presses every few minutes.

I actually did that at a previous job where I had to use windows 10 and (I think) the sys admin policy was to 'lock screen' after 20 min of inactivity, so I eventually got fed up of having to login all the time.

Google Poly looks like a fun experiment that unfortunately didn't pan out to their expectations. Google APIs/GCP have paying users that businesses depend on. It wouldn't be fair to have them in the same room.

It's not completely arbitrary, it represents the degree of plausability you assign to the event.

These numbers have to obey some rules if you require that a set of beliefs is consistent.

The number you assign to the plausability of A and the number you assign to the plausability of not-A have to sum 1.

If you think A and B are equally plausible, you have to put the same number on them.

If you think that A and not-A are equally plausible, you have to assign the number 0.5 to both.

If you put the number p(head)=p(tails)=0.5 as your degree of plausability that the coin I just flipped (I actually did it!) is showing head or tails it's not an "arbitrary" number. It means that you think both (exhaustive) outcomes are equally plausible. Why do you say it cannot mean anything?

> That's because the nazis lost. If they had won, as Robert McNamara said, we'd be called murderers and criminals and our leaders would have been hanged for crimes against humanity.

Perhaps this is just an American thing, but I wouldn't call the Nazi soldiers killing American soldiers murderers either. The holocaust is murder, if not superceded by the term genocide. Something can be an unjust killing and still not be murder.

A few days ago the state government extended the blanket ban on "high speed mobile internet" which has been banned since 5 August 2019 in India administered Kashmir on account of " misuse" all the while acknowledging that this denial on high speed internet" is not having any significant impact on education" among other things.

Pakistan is doing the exact same thing. There is no "Pakistan = bad". The reality is more like "India = bad, Pakistan = bad, China = bad, USA = bad ". Everyone is bad.

As someone who has suffered financially, emotionally, socially because of this "ban", I can confirm things will not be forgotten and I suppose people affected by these "laws" wont either.

I brought up the first ever 110nm node and it was based on the memory half-cell width in a standard way that we didn’t use because it didn’t functionally scale down to that size anymore, but the lithography equipment could make something that passed Intel’s TEM inspection according to expert analysis. So, from what I understand, not since Intel left the DRAM business.
You're confusing meat substitutes (plant ingredients made to resemble meat in look and taste) like Beyond Meat, and lab-grown meat (which is live muscle tissue that has been grown in a lab instead of on the body of an animal).
You aren't.

Especially with remote work on the rise.

This is one thing I hope all of us continue opposing vehemently.

It's a huge privacy concern and companies have too much incentive to want to monitor this kind of data.
As with some other comments I assume this is more aimed at the meat-eating market than vegetarians etc.

As somebody who hasn't eaten meat for years, I've long used "fake meat" substitutes because I originally missed normal meat, but the idea of eating actual meat (even lab-bred) triggers a disgust reflex now; I'll stick with the fake stuff.
Is it really effective across all media? Canadian radio is awful IMHO because of CanCon rules: there aren’t enough Canadian artists within a specific radio genre to saturate a station’s quota, so in many cases we end up hearing the same artists repeatedly throughout any given day.
This related to, but not the same as, the mechanism by which modern torpedoes kill warships.

Historically torpedoes used to hit the sides of ships, punching big holes. The response by ship builders was to build empty “torpedo bulges” on the sides of ships to trigger the torpedo early, preventing structural damage.

Modern torpedoes instead detonate under the ship. The explosion creates a massive bubble (most explosives being nothing more than a solid that’s itching to turn into a hot cloud of nitrogen). This bubble ends up under the ship, resulting in a ship that’s supported at the ends and not the middle. It turns out modern ships aren’t strong enough to support their own weight in this way, and the ship breaks in two.

Obviously this lacks the grinding mechanism described here, but the similarity is in the application of a huge amount of force in the middle of a ship to break it.
this is typically called a "hardware virus". I recall my workplace had a problem over a decade ago with Macbook Pros that had DVI; a bent DVI pin in the mac would mess up the connector to the projector (remember when we used those?) and then subsequent macs plugged into the connector would get their pins bent, propagating the problem to more computers.

What exactly do you mean by artificial food here? Anything substantial? Or is this a 'GMO BAD' type argument? Does enriched rice count as artificial? Modern bananas? Modern corn? Modern cows and pigs? Do vegan meat substitutes count as artificial food?

All these things listed above are very viable and healthy options for people to eat. The proof is in the pudding (XD) as people eat this stuff constantly, and at massive volumes, worldwide, without dying or whatever.

Also, who are you speaking on behalf of? Who thinks lab-grown meat is so safe? Who doesn't have concerns about the safety of this meat? It seems you're making ridiculous claims not based on any of the relevant literature.
What AMD laptop costs $600 and has more than 16GB of RAM?
As usual, Pakistan makes another stupid attempt to reel in US technology companies under their control. These attempts aren't coming out of left field, rather are inspired by China, India, Austria, and a few other European powers.

As I've told my Pakistani counterparts, this attempt is amusing at the least and ignorable at the worst. They have no merit to make these demands. Of course, technology companies do not want to lose the 85 million customer base, but they realize Pakistan has more to loose than gain by putting a blanket ban on these platforms. They realize any ban would be reversed under public pressure.

I'll share what I told Amin-ul-Haque (who doesn't know the difference between right-click and left-click): Pakistan's play should be to determine impact to GDP associated with these platform companies (past, present, & future). It should use that to make a case for these companies to open product-development led offices in Pakistan, not just sales that we have today. Over a span of 10 years, Pakistan needs to gain this knowledge and begin innovating their own products and infrastructure. Eventually, when sufficient infrastructure has been built and cloned over to Pakistan, it should then ban these platform companies and drive traffic through their home-grown solutions.

Ultimately, this will allow:
1. Talent to develop and thrive in Pakistan. There's a lot of talent there already, but it's either leaving, working on small problems, or just part of the problem. There is a small pool of incredible research happening there, but unfortunately it is motivated by the need to get out.
2. Increase tax revenue and the technology sector's contribution margin to GDP
3. Output better products that solve Pakistani problems instead of band-aiding US technology to fit into their existing broken ecosystem.

I understand this is a controversial opinion. This is most likely not the right path, but the thinking is along the right direction.

A lot of people think that the primary motivation is to muzzle free speech. Yes, there are absolutely cases of investigative journalist who have been silenced. But for every 1 case of silencing free speech there are 100s of the fringe right spreading misinformation about religion, government, and foreign powers to the masses there.

This problem will not be solved by US technology companies. Solving these problems do not pay bills, they are just decent PR, which again, most of these companies are not interested in since it doesn't impact the bottom line.
The original comment said

"3. Developed country with great logistics."

Which I now realise I misread as "Developed in a country" (i.e. Belgium, where it's manufactured). An entirely different, erroneous, reading of the sentence.

Therefore my comment addressed the nature of cross-channel shipping which authorities I respect have repeatedly warned about.

It's too late to edit to add that clarification about the misreading. But that's what was missed.

If the army steps in to provide logistics at a time of national crisis, that's great. But it's not what I would expect this government to do based on the recent historical evidence: We've been in a national crisis for a while and the government has routinely preferred to neglect public-sector expertise and go private in a vast array of public procurement. Much of it has been highly questionable judgment (ministers awarding contracts to friends with penalty clauses).
Yes, it's likely. Regulators are not as independent from the industry as you think. They've been getting closer and closer over the decades. It's call corruption and it's growing.

A lot of people won't care about being able to use lower temperatures. Anybody who likes steak medium well or higher, of course.

Fears of trichinosis decades ago led to pork being overcooked for a long time. I did sous vide pork chops for my parents and they said it was the best pork chop they'd ever had, but still weren't crazy about it. They just don't like pork, after a lifetime of eating it overcooked.

I've done chicken breast at low temp and ended up with a mushy piece of meat i didn't care for. Chicken breast is good in a relatively narrow band of temperatures, where it's neither mushy nor dessicated, and often you still need to crisp the skin. Technology has made it easier to get in that band.

It would be cool to do steak tartare at home, though!
You obviously didn't even read the comment I was responding to or are misinterpreting my point so you can attack a straw man.

> This fake meat produt has THE SAME ISSUE AS MARGARINE HAD: people think it's safe because a few "experts" say so. This is what happened to margarine.

Sometimes experts are wrong, that does not mean that they are not still our best hope of being right about things. Otherwise we may as all just listen to the village idiot's twitter account and inject bleach.

> In reality artifical food is always a bomb waiting to go off inside of you.

It really isn't any different than "real" food just because it is made in a lab. It may not have the same exact qualities as its natural equivalent, but "natural" by no means is the same as "safe" or "healthy" anyway. Do you want me to show you pictures of giant puss-filled cysts in a cow carcass? Or should we talk about Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease? There is nothing inherently good about "natural" and evil about "artificial", as your posts seem to imply.

Functional style isn't too bad. Maximal munch lines up with pattern matching, then linear scan is easy enough if you don't need gcc-tier results.

GHC has bits of its backend that are shared across architectures, maybe I should have a look at that...

Cool. Maybe do milk next?

Right now, we use unskilled labor (cows) to perform chemical reactions with biomass (grass) to produce milk. I find it surprising that we can't do the same but significantly cheaper and cleaner with vats.

I'm not talking about plant substitutes like oat or almond extracts, I mean actual milk that's produced using the same process that cows perform internally.

Wouldn't the quality of lab grown meat be better? You can clone the cells of the tastiest cow, grow them in perfect conditions, and guarantee that the meat has zero pathogens (allowing it to be eaten raw).
There's always some criteria for the test group. An example might be:

Age 20-65, BMI below 2, with no long term medical conditions

You find enough people that fit that group and then randomly divide them into two groups, one of which is the test group and one the control. It is possible but unlikely that the criteria includes "has not previously had Covid 19". Assuming the criteria didn't include that, then some of the participants and some of the control group will have previously had Covid, and so we now have some evidence as to whether a cytokine storm occurs.
That isn't a valid comparison. There's a huge difference between a meat substitute and lab grown meat.

> Do they need to design even more defect-tolerant designs if the density of random environmental contamination stays about constant? (Is that true?) Or do they need the clean rooms, solvents, filtration, etc. to improve just as much with every jump in node size?

We are way past that already. Any external contamination, even one stray atom, can cause a defect in any reasonably modern lithography process. There are parts of chips where thicknesses are measured in "monolayers" -- that is, the thickness of the material in that position is one uniform layer of atoms.
Who is they? We should promote amateur science among those with the means, ability, and integrity.

That seems to me to be the best route to more drugs, cheaper drugs, and increased scientific literacy among the public. So much public reward and so little personal risk.

I had never heard of this thing before. I know there is this running joke of Google killing their stuff all the time, but do they just suck at launching, or at least promoting, services?
Counterpoint: since Google has firmly established a reputation for killing their own products, people who would otherwise find value in certain Google products (beyond search ads gmail and android) avoid them and never hear about them to begin with.

I wonder if they are creating a self-fulfilling prophecy: google launches a product, people avoid it assuming it’ll get killed off, google says the user metrics don’t justify the investment, and they kill it.
Downvoted your comment because I disagree with you and apparently that's how you think this works.

But I'd argue the difference is just that we're willing to give foods that seem "natural" more latitude. Bacon and sausages are believed to cause cancer at a rate of about 1 per thousand - not quite as dangerous as trans fats are for heart disease, but still a major public health issue.
Traditional animal husbandry? Probably not. Factory farms? Most people think of them as at least somewhat inhumane.
