The major flaw in your argument is that you can't do #2 with rent control in the picture. From the economist[0]:

> Rent controls are a textbook example of a well-intentioned policy that does not work. They deter the supply of good-quality rental housing. With rents capped, building new homes becomes less profitable. Even maintaining existing properties is discouraged because landlords see no return for their investment. Renters stay put in crumbling properties because controls often reset when tenants change. Who occupies housing ends up bearing little relation to who can make best use of it (ie, workers well-suited to local job opportunities). The mismatch reduces economy-wide productivity. The longer a tenant stays put, the bigger the disparity between the market rent and his payments, sharpening the incentive not to move.

I enjoy eating meat and have no plans of going off of it completely. But we eat so much of it as a culture.

And when you add up every hot pocket, frozen pizza, slider, hot dog, or chicken nugget, it's hard to argue that most of meat actually being consumed can't be easily substituted. For something healthier and cheaper too!

And I know people blast tech companies for focusing too much on making things flashy and cool, but the people who are making electric cars and fake meat cool are the ones who are going to save our asses while we were busy scolding people for not trying harder to enjoy brown rice.
> Taco meat is a perfect application, since its texture is already squishy and the flavor is dominated by spice.

“Taco Bell ground beef” rather than “taco meat”; this is very much not true of taco meat generally, including the non-ground-beef options at Taco Bell or other similar fast-food taco restaurants.
me too. this post was hilarious, not because of his failures but because they all sound like mine.
Getting someone eating 4 or 5 big macs a week to switch to 4 or 5 big beyond macs, served at the takeout they've been going to for years, is much easier than getting them to switch to traditional Indian dishes made by nobody that lives within a three hour drive of them.

But hundreds of millions of vegetarians does mean that eliminating that meat from our diet is extremely realistic and much more widely affordable.

This chemical has stuck in my memory since the 1990s, thanks to Uncle Al on sci.chem:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SF-6847

It is an uncoupling agent [1] with approximately 1800 times the potency of 2,4 dinitrophenol (the compound discussed in the substack post). This means that it is probably deadlier than most nerve gases in humans, milligram for milligram.

The "Uncoupler" wikipedia page I linked is a decent starting point for other chemicals in the class. Many would presumably drive weight loss like 2,4 DNP itself; and most of those would also incur similar side effects ranging from inconvenient to lethal.

[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uncoupler
Pretty interesting, especially at the price (~€1350) and the weight (in Germany you need a license for drones > 2kg, and a permit if it's > 5kg - so this being ~795g is appealing).
Wonder how responsive the controls are though!
Impeachement is literally political process, intended to be political. It is not actually trying to be justice at all.

And, the fact that high enough politician gets away with everything is why the contemporary American politics have issues it has.
I think you missed the point -- that if you tried to replace meat with plants providing the same nutritional profile, then the impact is far less than anticipated by most calculations.
Came here to submit this link too. I'm blown away. Perhaps I'm naive, and maybe I don't really know Cruise's work that well, but it seems amazingly convincing to me. Can anyone in the know comment on whether what is done here is constrained in some way? I'm wondering if there are things about the specific setup that make it easier for them (and correspondingly, would be harder to produce some other kind of content)?

Lentils, tofu, peanuts, and seitan are 25%, 20%, 28%, and 80% protein by weight. Meat is about 26%, according to WolframAlpha. Not that you actually need very many grams of protein each day to be healthy.
Compared to what meat? Which animal, which cuts, which quality? Is it healthier than a really high quality meat, prepared well? Maybe not. Is it healthier than fast food "beef"? Yeah probably. Either way, environmental and moral concerns are just as relevant as health concerns when considering diet.

With Cargo, the final binary (or artifact if you're building a .so/.a/.dylib/...) has a `Cargo.lock` file that pins every recursive and non-recursive dependency. If you audit the packages in that, you've audited every dependency that is used in your project, and they will not change unless you yourself explicitly tell them to.

My understanding is that cooked meat has much higher caloric value than vegetables.

To be honest if it wasn't so good for us we wouldn't have evolved to consume it!
> Rationing does nothing to increase the supply,

Maybe, maybe not. Depends on how you handle prices (or subsidies) along with the rationing.

>distributes the existing supply to people who don't need it.

A bit, but in the case of housing and food you can safely assume people all need it in about the same amounts. You will be wrong, but close enough. The black market might even by your friend in correcting some of your mistakes.

> Rationing assumes everyone has exactly the same need, which is nonsense and leads to gross inefficiencies.

yes and no. You don't have to assume the same needs. You can figure out rules. Families need more space - which can be used to encourage/discourage having kids depending on your goals. Overall it leads to inefficiencies I agree.

> Rationing inevitably leads to hoarding and a black market.

True or not based on how much trust there is in the ration plan. If people agree with the reasons and means there will be a lot less than if people disagree, or find they can't get even the minimum. WWII rationing in the US mostly worked from what I understand - people were proud to not use their entire ration of sugar, but there was overall enough food (including gardens) so it wasn't hard. That is probably the exception (and even then there was a black market!), but it does make the point.
I've been thinking about this (and will probably try to put together an essay about it at some point). I think that the types you learn in programming 101 and the advanced types (the kinds of things written about in type theory books and papers) are related, but different beasts.

If we drop down to the lowest level, basic-programming-types are about one thing - interpreting what is otherwise a pile of bits in memory. Without any notion of the difference, how would you interpret the difference between characters and integers and floating points? There is nothing about the ones and zeroes to tell you. So the first thing you learn is to write something like `char a = 'b';`

Dependent types (and related type theory constructs) do get used for this in languages built from the ground up with that as a theoretical foundation, but they have their basis in ideas that are more related to formal verification and logic.

And that's where the divide comes in.

Using types to pick a codec for some bytes and using them to verify systems are very, very different mindsets.

And we simply call both "types".

That is a really weird argument.
I'm a vegetarian, I think this is true when comparing meat with whole plant foods. But to be fair the the GP comment, meat substitute products are almost certainly considerably less nutritious (micronutrient wise) than actual meat.

The fat percentage criticism strikes me as a bit odd.

At least where I am (USA) ground meat is categorized by its fat percentage and 20% fat is the standard I usually see in the supermarket.

I guess what I'm saying is: 20% is indeed a high fat percentage, but it's also the typical fat percentage for conventional meat so it feels disingenuous to use it to criticize plant-based meats.

I personally don't think so. I'm no scientist.

I have, however, done a LOT of studying about food because I have some serious stomach issues.

What has finally worked for me? Intermittent fasting for 15-16 hours a day — eating a low-carb diet filled with veggies.

I feel a night and day difference eating like this.

Btw I was mostly vegan and vegetarian for half a decade before this.

Right, but that redundancy to my understanding is in case of component/system failure. It's a backup, not a judge-actor or error-correcting architecture.

Case in point:
https://www.jpl.nasa.gov/news/engineers-diagnosing-voyager-2...

"Engineers successfully reset a computer onboard Voyager 2 that caused an unexpected data pattern shift, and the spacecraft resumed sending properly formatted science data back to Earth on Sunday, May 23. Mission managers at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif., had been operating the spacecraft in engineering mode since May 6. They took this action as they traced the source of the pattern shift to the flip of a single bit in the flight data system computer that packages data to transmit back to Earth. In the next week, engineers will be checking the science data with Voyager team scientists to make sure instruments onboard the spacecraft are processing data correctly. "
> The popular crusade against meat is one of the more misguided.

This seems to presume two things:

1) That vegans and vegetarians are primarily doing it for the environment.

2) That vegans and vegetarians can't do basic math.

To the first point, I'd be fully supportive of plant-based diets even if the only reason was concern over the treatment of the animals themselves. The focus on the environmental benefits is really quite new. Vegetarianism has historically been about animal rights/welfare and/or a commitment to non-violence. The environmental benefits are simply the cherry on the cake.

To the second point, you say meat provides "far more" nutritional value than any plant. Maybe, maybe not. (I think "not", but I'm open to being wrong about that.) Nutrition is one of those weird fields in science where there's not a whole lot of agreement about anything. However, the vast majority of nutritionists and doctors are far more concerned with the lack of fruits in vegetables in the popular diet than they are with the lack of meat.

The environmental benefits have probably been exaggerated, but growing, distributing, and consuming vegetables is obviously less resource-intensive and less wasteful than meat. I'm somewhat shocked that this could be a controversial statement. I'm NOT saying the benefits are so high as to, say, "save the world" by going veg. There are plenty of people who make this claim, and I'm very suspicious of it.

But that's very different from thinking the entire movement is misguided. EVERY movement exaggerates their claims. That doesn't make them misguided, simply prone to hyperbole.

(On a side note: I'm not vegetarian. I simply agree with those who are.)
This has been mentioned before but I’ve done this for a while: searching “[product] reddit” often does the trick when looking for candid reviews. Normal people with nothing to gain except internet points (which just incentivizes them to give the popular consensus or fantastic failure of the product).
Thanks! I've been thinking maybe I should make more demos like that, or try to share that around more. It seems to really resonate with people.
Artificial meat doesn't have to be plant based. It's entirely possible that we could grow synthetic meat at scale with the same nutritional profile as the real thing.
Original article:

>The echo command always exists [sic] with 0, so this propagates to exit if the first expression is truthful. (emphasis his)

In both bash and dash (and probably most), echo will fail if there is no stdout. E.g.:

j.sh:
echo hello && exit 2

$ bash j.sh >&-
j.sh: line 1: echo: write error: Bad file descriptor
$ echo $?
1

Note the exit value ($?) is 1, not 2.

EDIT: Also note that not exiting the script could cause a flurry of cascading errors (likely permission errors in the article's example).
This really is a vague statement without defining what you mean by 'nutrition'. If you're referring protein, well sort of, however some non meat based products carry plenty, nuts, black beans (15g of protein per cup).. At the same time there are plenty of vitamins / minerals in vegetables that you cannot get from meat. Vitamin C being a key one.

I'm less inclined to believe a blog post than I am to believe published & cited articles. Most estimates I've found put overall GHG from diet at about 15-20% of total per capita. And sources like [1] indicate that switching to a plant-based diet cuts that number in half for western countries (the UK in this study). That's 3x your number. Granted, meat substitutes are higher on GHG than eating straight plant-based meals, so it's probably more like a reduction of 3-4% from switching to Beyond or Impossible. But as with any GHG discussion, you have to consider what's actually feasible to do (ex. changing dietary components) vs. really hard (ex. reducing energy inputs to manufacturing) and optimize for the former.

Don’t you have the burden of proof exactly reversed?
May be anecdotal, but four generations prior to me and myself have all be vegetarians with no sign of deficiencies. and many lived 90 yrs + . and I know many families who ate meat only once a month or approx '10 meals a year'. meat is over hyped.
This is related to Goodhart's Law, which is "When a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be a good measure." It's a large area of study to figure out how to get the outcome you actually want, while measuring something close, because good metrics can be hard to come by.
My dream would be seamless interoperation between all these tools. Would also mean better 'competition', easier to convince people to try them, avoiding lock-in in one tool, etc etc.

For some tools it's already possible to interoperate -- for them would be nice to have summaries on what are the caveats (e.g. would the tool format my whole note base? would it break any special syntax imposed by the other tool? etc etc)
Technically sure, the robot won 3 out of 4 matches against world class curlers at something sort of like, but not really curling.

The implications from the title is that it beats them at curling. You certainly wouldn’t expect the article to be about a robot beating world class curlers at chess.

If sweeping wasn’t such an important part of the game (literally changing shots, which world class curlers would rely on as part of their throw technique) then the article would be fine.

> I have a hard time believing diet has a statistically significant impact on cognitive performance - excluding caffeine or other stimulants of course

Oh for me it's just the opposite:

Caffeine makes me jumpier, but I'm not at all sure it improves my cognitive performance. Do you have any evidence caffeine has positive impact on cognitive performance?

I'm pretty sure eating healthy improves the clarity of my thinking. When I was young, I'd eaten a bar of chocolate for lunch a couple of times when short of time during a go tournament. This has invariably been a terrible idea and worsened my performance.
