Going to figure if the EU track record with soy/almond and other "milks" I would expect a challenge to force the issue there. [0]. However as you note, would it be a bad thing if they could not or would not reference it as meat?

I think the main reason for assigning the name to these plant based substitutes is to give the public a better understand of it uses and that its a valid substitute. To me, both meat and milk are generic names and its just a matter of time before expanding the definition becomes a non issue

From what I’ve read, plant-based meat isn’t much healthier than normal meat, it’s benefits are primarily environmental and ethical. True plant-based food should have a health benefit at least, especially over meat.
It's hindsight, but none of the SARS-CoV-2 vaccines in use have that problem, nor do several more that are likely to be approved for emergency use.

What proportion of approved vaccines in general have such radically different responses in different age groups or demographics?
To a point. I’m actually a data table user too, but it’s actually a pain at the moment (and a good example of why tidyverse quality matters) because they broke the integration with reshape and made me rewrite a bunch of guides a while ago.
I don’t like to encourage cargo cutting, but to some extent it’s needed as a beginner. Heck, we’re all still cargo culting to some degree unless you also understand the machine code.
Exactly. This sort of framing by the way is an exercise in disinformation itself.
But Facebook or Amazon or FAANG are not just feeds. Facebook has also all the other components - discovery for example, also basic storage provision (let's not forget that!).

If RSS did the job we wanted it would be used everywhere. It is a great solution to one tiny part of the jigsaw - and as half the comments on here are already "I have a great idea to extend RSS so that..." we all know this.

Decentralising is a good thing - but boy there is still a lot to solve.
Anecdotal, but I got a chuckle out of it.
For all the bad press, I've found teenage boys easy to deal with. They get loud or break things but only by accident, they rarely mean any harm and are rapidly ready to apologise and mean it when they do. Put the breakables away, stick to a few simple rules, interact with them and ignore tactically and they'll be happy, productive and social.

Some rough housing helps a lot when they're younger too. 10 minutes of wrestling will buy you an hour of helping clean up or playing nicely with others.
Well food is already gratis at my employer. To get people to move out there, I think they would pretty much have to include housing too - sure at the end of the day it's kind of coming out of your wages in a way, but it's an expense you would have to pay for anyway.
The article is equivocating the war on disinformation with a war on dissent. That does NOT, in any way, mean that dissent and disinformation are the same thing.

If I were to write an article saying "the war on terrorism is a war against us all", would that mean that I'm accusing everyone of terrorism? Or claiming that terrorism doesn't exist?
> The latter is what people are raging against: the weaponization of social/ad networks by disingenuous actors, like authoritarians and oil companies.

It's a very optimistic view and it's certainly how things are often framed. What I've seen over the past few years though, is a very efficient filtering of the internet of almost all content that isn't left learning from all major forums and a shutting down of those that could not be filtered.

Framing this as an anti mis/disinformation campaign is very clever, sometimes pointing at flagrant examples while actually censoring widely.
Oh dear, I may be a candidate for a gulag^H^H^H^H^Hre-education camp. As seems to be a narrative trending in some circles.
Well you could also just promote delicious vegetarian dishes. There are entire cultures that mostly eat vegetarian. Fake meat is such a silly concept.
How would you characterize the following statement by Dr. Fauci in terms of its transparency and honesty? I'm not asking whether "noble lies" are necessary, useful, appropriate, or a good or bad idea in the long run. I'm just asking about its transparency and honesty:

“When polls said only about half of all Americans would take a vaccine, I was saying herd immunity would take 70 to 75 percent,” Dr. Fauci said. “Then, when newer surveys said 60 percent or more would take it, I thought, ‘I can nudge this up a bit,’ so I went to 80, 85.”

I definitely started to also run tests on minified code and found bugs in compilers that I had to work around.
Well, his estate does
You mention this briefly, but it's worth pointing out that the CM-2 (and, I believe, the CM-1 as well) was indeed a single-bit-at-a-time processor, but the word length was arbitrary, not 32 bits. You could, in *Lisp (and maybe the low-level calls that C* used, I didn't work with that enough to know) define pretty much any bit length you wanted, up to the number of bits on the processor.

They later implemented a floating-point accelerator that worked with 32 of the 1-bit processors in "slice-wise" mode to do 32 (and possibly 64) bit arithmetic, where the word was spread across all 32 processors.

The CM-5 used true 32-bit SPARC processors.

Also, the CM-2 had up to 128k bits per processor, and you could have 64k of them in one CM-2.
I don't get this at all. Why? So long as it's labeled appropriately (ingredients, possibly some disclaimer if required but I think that would be absurd) why not call it whatever we want? Meat is already a somewhat ambiguous term in English, so giving it legal protection seems odd to me.

Personally I think we shouldn't sell juice that's from concentrate as 100% juice, but I can easily find out by reading the ingredients so I don't care. And for those who don't already specifically buy juice that isn't from concentrate, enjoy discovering that almost all juice is from concentrate (and hopefully realize how much better it tastes when it's not). It's like ice cream that's been melted and refrozen. It may have the same ingredients but it doesn't have the same taste.
We have something similar in https://github.com/rust-analyzer/rust-analyzer/blob/master/d....

An interesting systemsy difference is that missing style.md means more work for maintainers (as they need to do more cleanup), while missing architecture.md means more work for contributors.
So we have CNN "news" and Fox "news" reporting diametrically opposite things. Both cannot be true, yet both claim to report the truth. One, or more likely both, are false, and the truth is somewhere in the middle.
If you are discussing the macroscopic day-to-day reality we human live in, sure, all things and all characteristics-of-things are emergent in broad sense. Every distinct, discreet thing here comes out of the interactions of quantum fields and gravitational fields, so yeah.

The problem is saying "everything is X" makes X useless as an adjective.

Usually, when you talk about this stuff, you look just a couple layers of reality. For example, if your lower level is water molecules and the upper level is observation, then "waves" "whirlpool" and so-forth are emergent objects/characteristics and water is a primitive object/characteristics - never mind that water molecules emerge from still lower level processes.
> * The allegations of corruption on Hunter Biden’s part are still considered a conspiracy theory: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biden%E2%80%93Ukraine_conspira...

Breaking down Wikipedia's claims:

> [...] containing purported emails of unknown authorship which suggested [...]

> [...] but their authenticity and origin have not been determined [...]

You can use the DKIM signature to verify that the "smoking gun" email is real - including contents, sender, and roughly when it was sent (before October 2015, when gmail changed signing key).

> A reporter for The Wall Street Journal observed the PDFs' metadata showed they had been created in the fall of 2019, though the emails were supposedly from 2014 and 2015

Because a PDF compilation of emails (probably created by Mac Isaac, or NYP for their article) is not the original email file.

> but once this was completed, the shop had no contact information for its owner, and nobody ever paid for it or came to pick it up [49]

There are images of the quote with Hunter Biden's contact details on them, and story they cite only claims "he tried repeatedly to contact the client".

> Criticism has been focused on Mac Isaac over inconsistencies in his accounts of how the laptop came into his possession and how he passed it on to Giuliani and the FBI.[49][46]

The citations are Business Insider articles which both quote the same The Daily Beast article.

The TDB article tries to imply contradictions with juxtaposition (like with "At one point, Mac Isaac claimed a special agent from the Baltimore office had contacted him after he alerted the FBI to the device’s existence. At another he claimed that he was emailing someone from the FBI about the laptop.") but doesn't actually present anything mutually exclusive or inconsistent with Mac Isaac's timeline of events.
I guess that explains “mince pies” in the UK. For non-Brits: they are a traditional Christmas sweet pastry the size and shape of a cupcake, filled with “mincemeat”, which is meat-free and not to be confused with “minced meat”.
Matt's Custom Theme? :) I dunno, I haven't named it. Glad you like it!
Speaking of 3D chips. We live in 3D world but our chips are mostly 2D. Yeah I know there are layers but overall the chip is flat slab.

If we wanted to simulate 2D world in hardware, we could do it very efficiently on our CPUs and it would be infinitely scalable (assuming the world interacts mostly locally).

Here comes the interesting part: if we live in a simulation ran by higher-dimensional beings, we have to transform our physics into a form that would reveal some inherent dimension-ness of our physics, then if we find this number, the beings live in a world with one more dimension.

So for example if our physics seems to be 10 dimensional, the beings live in 11 dimensional world and their CPUs are 10 dimensional. They designed our physics to be only 10 dimensional so that they can run it efficiently on their CPUs.
It happens! I spent $800 on google ads for a product and didn’t get a single sale either.

I haven’t gone for ads since then.

Perhaps my target audience are also the kind that are likely to use ad blocking, or ignore ads in general.

Perhaps my use of ads was rubbish...

Too much competition nowadays!
It plug replaces a 68k CPU, so it's not in the same category.
One question: On Android, when I disable access to location for a specific app, does the library have a way to access the location anyway? My belief is that no, that it can't do that, but I may be wrong.

What if library "A" is included in a background app with access to location services, it then locally broadcasts via UDP or listens on a TCP port for incoming local connections, so that a library "B" can either listen to those UDP broadcasts or connects to the local TCP port of library "A" to receive the location data. Is this a possible scenario? Is Android monitoring such a behavior?
> Changing what we know based on new research is not evidence of spreading disinformation; that's how science works.

And how exactly is science supposed to do that when dissenting voices are censored as "disinformation"? If you want science to self-correct, you need to allow free speech around questions like "are masks useful".
I must have missed the statement in parentheses the first time I read it (I honestly don't remember it being there before, apologies), so I retract the part on what GP said about "should". However, I maintain that the comment doesn't say anything about whether women shouldn't do the things the other person said; there's no implication one way or the other in the original comment and most people do both.

On the matter of kids and "high quality", I made no comment on that earlier, and I make no comment now.
You do use it in a more general sense in some contexts, but I completely agree with your point.
While this is great and all, the comments indicate that tons of doses circulated the USA as samples. There are two people in the comments claiming to be survivors from these samples.

If this is true, then the article is incorrect. It appears that Americans were just denied compensation because the drug wasn't approved.

I'm sure the harm would have been much greater had the FDA approved the medication. But it seems unfair to say they were no victims in the USA.
Plant-based food aimed at replacing meat is often a too-many ingredient, industrialised nightmare.
How come, the US has an opiate crisis?

Fortunately, most stuff that I read is math-heavy thus unfeasible as an epub. Yet, there is the rare essay, interview or otherwise math-less text that comes in the annoying epub format that needs to be converted.
This article falls into a category I've noticed pretty frequently -- mad at the world, and angry at some imaginary establishment. Yes, the two main political parties are powerful, but it's not as though they're high-functioning enough to organize some kind of bipartisan conspiracy to suppress whatever this guy thinks they want to hide. Their power comes from flaws in our election systems, and for sure that power gets misused, but this person has nothing to offer except whining (masquerading as critical analysis). This is one bad decision away from being yet another Facebook rant about "the deep state."
Cloud service ticks a marketing box targeting a market segment more toward the convenience end of the convenience versus security spectrum. It is rarely a core competency of hardware companies.

Plain and simple it is a massive attack surface and an attractive nuisance for ransomware organizations.
should we also rename coconut milk? coconut cream? peanut butter?

should we rename mincemeat since it rarely if ever contains meat anymore?

and what about hot dogs...those don't contain dog do they? do we have to rename those too?
As a former competitive alpine ski racer, that effect plus the abrasion of the sand itself would make for some very interesting wax choices. “Wetter” usually means a softer wax, but softer waxes don’t stand up to abrasion like that. I’d be interested where the majority of the sand ends up on a mountain and how it gets distributed through the snowpack when groomed out.
What sort of exotic signal processing solution would be required to support 20GHz of bandwidth at any useful sampling rate and bit depth? How would you actually collect a meaningful amount of information from every station in range simultaneously?

I feel like this is something that may be possible in physics, but is not well supported in practical applicability. The amount of signal processing hardware required to support this in the field should be a deal breaker with modern hardware, unless there are some really strong constraints regarding the bands & modulation schemes actually being monitored simultaneously.

Assume 40GHz sample rate for bare minimum no aliasing over the 20GHz spectrum, 8 bits per sample. You will wind up with ~320Gbps of data to deal with.
If you can do 10x the builds in a day, you can end up catching more issues before your users. Meanwhile the difference for them is in single digit percents. Interesting test to do next would be how performant are the compiled versions.
Yeah I agree. There’s delicious vegetarian dishes, with low processed ingredients. Why bother with ultra processed fake meat?
Sigh...

This is THE original definition. Language later evolved and people started using the word meat to mostly mean animal flash. But that's just proof that language evolves over time and now it's evolving again to include broader range of food.

But in any case, I'm sure you've heard of meat of a fruit or nut.
I guess, when I read the article I was reminded of this 'Game' from Eric Berne's book (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/49176.Games_People_Play). Could be a reason why (more divorce) if this tension / game was to highlight problems in the relationship.
Do you need to log each sip as they happen? Is that better than filling the bottle and just logging that amount when you finish?
Morningstar is pretty good with their sausage patties and hot dogs. Some of the best in those categories.

The gap between the 1.0 veggie meats and the current ones ( especially impossible) is insane though. Juiciness and flavor are completely on a different level. I love that it doesn’t feel like eating a fake burger to somewhat satisfy my craving anymore, but like I ate a burger.

The problem is people just hit accept without understanding what is happening. The problem requires a legal solution. It should just be plain illegal to collect the users location for anything other than providing the features the user expects and any extra use of that data should not be permitted.
Does weaponized nonsense qualify as an opinion?
Well, yeah, corporate research is what it is. A lot of the value add is marketing.
Right. I can't imagine what "fixed environment" could even possibly be construed to mean. The conscious pressures are unavoidably pervasive, let alone the unconscious ones. Doesn't much matter how the parents parent. Try counting how many times in fictional media women are written to respond to every conflict by collapsing in a puddle of tears, vs men.

The "manufactured" in "manufactured consent" always seems to have some reptillian insinuation. Contrastingly, "manufactured furniture" is banal in its meaning. Production is not consumption, and consumption is a vote. Personally I always find their consent priced a little higher than I'm willing to bid.

So I'll just assume that you intended to answer the question, and that your response contains your strongest argument. From what I can tell, the only complaint that makes sense is with regard to community building platforms splintering potential collaborators/readers. I can somewhat agree with that, but it has absolutely nothing to do with an attention economy or corporate market capture. I can't think of a time that I was searching for something related to an interest, but instead got trapped in a dead Yahoo discussion board - hypnotized by erectile dysfunction spam. I just blast right through and eventually end up on some dude's blog with a tilde in the url, on more than one occasion this has ended up as a back and forth over email where we both come out ahead. Now I'll admit that my interests aren't mainstream, and I may not be in touch with the average consumer... but their interests are mainstream - so they are by default already catered to.
I think that's scheduled for September this year.

This is merely a current strategy so more can be funneled into R&D, and growing the infrastructure.
It seems like lower radio frequencies require really big antennas. Does this somehow work around that enabling very compact low frequency antennas?

Low frequencies are very useful because they penetrate structures more easily.
Serving the FOSS developer community is FOSDEM's goal. We live by its grace.

That is more than just fluffy talk. I believe FOSDEM to currently be fairly well positioned to keep that focus:

- I like to hope/think FOSDEM's financial situation is close to an optimum: healthy enough to guarantee our editorial independence, but not interesting enough to attract vultures sophisticated enough to distract us from our goal.

- Our formal structure should shield us from takeover attempts fairly well.

- I have every reason trust my fellow board members. We are individuals with alternatives. We actively choose to convert part of our energy into volunteering for FOSDEM instead of into money in our bank accounts.

- We have a physical allergy to tech marketing rear end talk.

- Each of us can tap into an incredibly talented and powerful pool of community allies.

- We actually try to look at opportunities and pitfalls now and then. That probably distiguishes us from >95% of all organisations.
As an avid meat-eater (because nature almost by definition is living things eating other living things and humans evolved to be omnivorous for various nutritional reasons), my answer to the animal cruelty argument is just to buy the top-shelf, pasture-raised meats. It's better for my health and much better for the animals. Obviously I have no control over where restaurants source their food from, but I try to preference those who claim ethical/sustainable practices.

As for sustainability, the answer to that is to develop systems that price in environmental externalities. The issue isn't going to be solved through a meat boycott. Farm raised fish is also quite sustainable.

I'm personally looking forward to economically viable lab-grown meat. Once perfected it'll likely be the most sustainable option with none of the nutritional deficits and none of the ethical concerns. Plus we'll be able to engineer meat with tastes that don't exist in nature, endless variety!
Would that really make a huge difference though? I’m all for people paying for their externalities but I wonder how significant it would be, are there any calculations?
I disagree with this characterization. ARCHITECTURE.md is specifically engineered to be low churn, so in this respect it is meaningfully different from other “keep docs” advise.

In practice, I personally didn’t find it difficult to maintain half-decent ARCHITECTURE.md, and I am not at all good with keeping the docs otherwise.
Here is a quote from Bannon and paragraph from the intercept:

Is it all a plan, another kind of elaborate conspiracy? Nothing so elegant. As Steve Bannon kindly told us, the informational strategy of the Trump era has always been to “flood the zone with shit.” Four years later, we can see what this looks like in practice.

It makes no sense, and that’s just fine by the likes of Bannon, and Kenney as well. Because if you want to keep waging war on the Earth’s life-supporting ecology, a great way to do it is to deliberately pollute its democracy-supporting information ecology. In fact, the pollution is the point.

If that would be true then there would not exist any pair bonding species, and there is some excellent benefits from it. Two parents mean one backup while raising the children, and two parents is double the parenting. Two parents also give some potential benefits with twins, something which pair bonding species tend to have a lot of while non-pair bonding species don't. The primary argument in favor of pair-bonding is that having a lot of offspring that don't reproduce is worse than having a few that do.

Humans with our great variations of behaviors has both pair bonding behavior and non-pair bonding behavior, with genes that code for both. If one strategy was always superior to the other then we would have settled for it a long time ago.

(Its a law or something when talking about genes that the behavior is always a gene-enivorment interaction, and there are likely many more factors that influence pair bonding behavior).
