Okay, the claim is that the US government raises funds by generating inflation, that is clear. The details are the problem. Say the US government issues a bond, some bank buys it, and eventually they sell it to the Federal Reserve. The US government has the same debt, and it seems to me that the only thing that has changed is that the bank now has cash where before it had a bond. How does this 1) create inflation and 2) is leveraged by the US government as a taxation strategy? That's what I'm asking.

Same here. It's totally acceptable for something like a burger or ground meat "crumbles" for pizza and tacos. It won't replace a good steak (yet).

Their problem as a company is that the product is pretty easy to copy. And the danger there (beyond the threat to the firm) is that one of the knock-offs will be so bad that it kills the entire meat-alternative product space because of the bad reputation. Which would be a shame - anyone who has driven by the stockyards on Interstate 5 in California would appreciate reducing our supply on cattle.
For production uses, I check them all. It’s a pain, but not that hard to do.

I also use dependency checkers that monitor al those various packages for CVEs related to particular versions. I think I typically catch them during dev and GitHub does a pretty good job of detecting and even suggesting updates.

There is a risk that a package gets corrupted at a used version, but I think that’s fairly small and would be detected quickly. But I think that’s similar to what would happen if Microsoft or Apple put out a bad update. And pypi is policed better than commercial setups that don’t have checks and balances (eg, SolarWinds)

Talk to any supermarket manager and they will tell you that the vegan specialty section is a net loss. HQ tells them do keep it, so they keep it.
When cattle are raised on well managed pasture, there is zero transportation between the cattle and feed, where as all vegetables requires transportation, and more of it pound-per-pound to reach the nutrient value of beef.

Cattle only contribute GHG when raised on grain as their digestive systems creates excessive methane breaking down corn. If more people understood how cows and ruminants should work vs how they are currently used in the industrialized feed complexes, they'd realize cows are not the problem, it's how we are using them.
>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.)

Every anthropologist: Human brain development skyrocketed and were able to maintain them when meat became a regular staple to their diet.

Just pick any documentary or book on the evolutionary development of humans. Any! I'm tired of hearing this same bullshit argument that, "Maybe meat isn't good for us. The science isn't there that it's any good." Yes it is! There's millions of years of scientific evidence that shows meat is what made us the technological masters we are today! Where's the science that meat isn't good for us? I want to see that first. And don't give me the epidemiology of a McDonald's junkie and lay that as claim of "all meat eaters". They're as much of a carnivore as a second rate vulture. Then there's that old study that claimed dietary fat is worse than consuming sugar because, dun dun dun, they were paid off by the sugar industry.

Do a fair comparison of some folks that are straight edge (no alcohol, smoking, vices, etc). Some herbivores, some omnivores. It's even better if they grow/raise their own food. That's when you'll see who's right and who's wrong.

The one thing I agree with vegans is the fact they want people to get the processed trash out of their diet. The reliance on ultra processed foods for a majority of our diets has been causing more harm than good. These plant based burgers... yea... fruits right off the branch.

About 10% of calorie intake is the protein sweet spot. Incidentally about the average you would get from a divers whole foods plant based diet. Meat diets will struggle to get that low. In fact, the Norwegian government has stated that it would in fact recommend 10% because it would be the best nutritional advise, were it not for the fact that it would be hard to fit into the common meat based diets of Norwegians. I wish I could provide a source but have since been unable to locate the official document Were it was discussed.

The Nation State Case for Bitcoin with Balaji Srinivasan
When a store owns its own inventory it is natural to tailor recommendations to optimise margin gain - its largely testament to the technological illiteracy of brick and mortar stores that margin is rarely factored into personalised web positions such as search results. It is very much factored in when designing store layouts, catalogues, and ad campaigns.

In all these other places there is a contention between getting the customer exactly what they might want (discovery) and getting the customer to buy what you want. Note that stores want the customer to buy items that will most cost them (overstock) as well as items that will most profit them.

This way the store manages this contention becomes a key part of its public image / brand, and affects its long term perception and customer base.

How this heavy push from personalised recommendations to personalised advertising will affect amazon is going to be interesting.
Right, but cattle can be raised where growing plants is impossible, and they can be fed by-products of plant agriculture that is not fit for human consumption.

It's really not an either-or, something that I feel is often lost in these discussions. Eating plants and meat is complementary, and has been for all of human history.
When something is baked into the law like that landlords will raise the rent. Renting in San Diego my last two places never had a rent increase (I lived in each for about 4 years per).
Woah, slow down. I’m not arguing that eviction isn’t a big deal, or that renters have no rights.

By renting you’re in a (heavily regulated) business relationship with an owner, and they own the property. Growing overly attached to something that you don’t own, and calling it yours is risky. I know that tons of people don’t have luxury of owning their places, but that’s how our capitalism world works - ownership is king.

It's like that cliche "it's only a few bad apples" from the proverb "a few bad apples spoils the bunch."
While I dont fully agree with breaking them up, I do think your comment pretty much sums up all the comment I had on Apple over the past 4-5 years.

Apple will continue to make technically superior hardware. But the user experience department, what ( Steve Jobs's ) Apple used to stand for is no longer there ( Or at least less of it ). That is everything from Hardware like Touch Bar, Keyboard, Trackpad, USB-C, Software UI complexity and Services like App Store, Apple ID and Payment issues. No one is saying the User Experience is crap lets fix this. Instead in every single case it took some revenue drops in numbers, customer satisfaction drop ( Apple has not reported any Mac user satisfaction number for 2 years now ), or straight bad press before they even begin to look into it.

Which is why the lag time from Mac Pro was so bad. It took them 3-4 years to admit a mistake. Before making changes that has a lead time of another 2 years.

But having said all them, even at their current level of inefficiency, they are still so far ahead of Google and Microsoft from a product level perspective that there is zero chance both of those company could catch up to Apple within this decade.
Apply to nVidia or Toyota then, they have new projects.

> I think they're also shoehorning their experiences.

Yup, agreed. I first learned to program in the late 80s (when I was around 7 or 8 years old) using BASIC, and my first part-time programming job in college was a mix of C and Java. All of my EE and CS programming coursework was done in C, C++, or (pre-generics!) Java.

It is really hard for me to put my feet in the shoes of someone who switched careers in their 20s or 30s by joining a bootcamp that teaches node, HTML, and CSS, and helps them find web dev jobs.

Their journey is so different from mine that I have very little ability to guess as to what should be easy or hard for them to do as they grow in their career.

Having said that, I still do believe that everyone who wants to write code should learn about static typing eventually, and the sooner they're introduced to the concept, the easier it will be for them to integrate it into their mental model of how software works.

Most people who criticize bitcoin don't even understand it fully. My belief is that as people look deeper into it, they will be convinced by themselves. It has been generally true among my friends, including myself. I have gone through those phases of criticism (energy usage, funds terror, governments will ban it, it will be hacked, quantum computers will destroy it).

I see. You underestimate or don't think that tracking today is the issue. Whats leaked cannot be unleaked. So far big tech only uses it for ads. Tomorrow it'll use it for banking, insurance, job applicants assessments, like Social Credit System in China today. Data sources are enormous, movement, friends, calls, chats, emails, purchases, searches and so on. "Person googles for drinking problems periodically since 2014."

So when it does become an issue in real life, it'll be too late, all data is already collected and processed into profiles.

And not only our data. Every school kid with Chromebook and Google account.

> Along with anti nuclear, the belief that rent control is a remotely good idea is an example of scientific denialism on the left.

No, because “good idea” isn't an objective claim within the domain of science , it's a subjective value claim outside of the domain of science.

Now, it's possible that in some cases this belief could be supported by belief in an objective claim that is itself an example of science denialism, but it could just be that people who believe that rent control is an good idea have different values than you do.

This reminds me of how my dad would always blast taco bell for using filler in their beef. But from my perspective, it's tastes good and the filler makes it cheaper (and probably healthier).

I think you're right, most processed meat could be replaced partially, or entirely with vegetable proteins without anyone really noticing. The last time I had baked a frozen, breaded chicken, it tasted like little more than grease and pepper. I'm certain a plant substitute could be found that would maintain the flavor of nothingness and be suitable for dipping in honey mustard.

The current issue, I think, is price. Vegetarian substitutes I've seen are more expensive than the meat based products.

What do you mean "better than the banks do"? For one, banks don't have single-point-of-failure account access like blockchain does, and for another, the risks of banks are much lower because credit card and ACH transactions are easily reversible.

These are all reasons that banks are more trustworthy and more secure than blockchain, which sees tens of millions of dollars of irreversible theft annually.
Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick on Monday called for the resignations of Public Utility Commission Chair DeAnn Walker and Electric Reliability Council of Texas CEO Bill Magness, criticizing them for a lack of preparation ahead of the deadly winter storm that led to massive power outages across the state for multiple days.

“Both the PUC Chair and the ERCOT CEO said they were prepared the day before the storm hit in full force, but obviously they were not,” Patrick said in a statement. His statements come after the officials testified for hours late last week in committee hearings as state lawmakers grilled them over the power grid failures.

The secret to enjoying brown rice is to add some sweet/sticky/"glutinous" rice to it. A good recipe:

1. 600 g brown rice

2. 200 g sticky rice

3. Mix the dry rices together. Use a spoon to avoid a sticky rice layer on the bottom.

3. 1200 mL water

4. Cook on "rice" mode in a 3-quart Instant-Pot. Makes about 15 120 mL (0.5 cup) servings. These freeze nicely in containers. You can heat one up in 1:30 in a 1500 W microwave.

"The jQuery API is still (and probably aways will be) far superior to the native DOM"

The jQuery API really is so well done. I stopped using jQuery, but implemented a simple script (jSugar.js) that exposes many basic jQuery things but is really just a wrapper for native DOM operations. It only operates on individual DOM nodes. Any looping should be done using your JS loop of choice (forEach, for loop, which, etc).

The script started out really small. I've slowly added more and more as I need more functionality for some projects.
