>> A ten times larger facility would cost more than ten times as much to run.

> This is an impossibility. You can just build ten smaller factories to scale up and get at least a linear gain.

No it isn't. Your "solution" is a different thing. A collection of smaller facilities is not the same thing as a larger facility.
You can do that or you can use their Global Accelerator thingy that gives you an anycast IP but technically they dont have an lb that spans regions (nor would you probably want one)
nice, keep up the good work.

clj gives a different way of thinking (imho better), but alas even introducing algebra to geometry had push back, and so will anything that upsets the norm.

Another equally important benefit of clojure is its stability, i.e you can write a script today and it will run weeks/months/years/decades afterwards, the same cannot be said for js.

This is all known to people already using clj and cljs, and now we can keep enjoying our clojure on nodejs also :)

note:
there is a misconception aparently that clojure does not support mutability, it does, just does so in a sane way so you dont shoot yourself in the foot. So yes you can mutate in clojure, and yes you can have side affecting stuff, clojure programmers do so every day .
The instructions say you must enter "algebraic notation," but I couldn't figure it out until I took a peek at the source code to see how it was trying to parse input.

You always just enter source square to destination square. So to play an opening move 1. d4, you would type `d2d4` (move piece on d2 to d4) and press enter. Then if you want micromax to play the next move for black, just press enter again. It'll think for quite a while and draw the board with the new position. To play 2. Bf4, you'd then type 'c1f4', and so on.

(This appears to be "long algebraic notation" and is apparently common in chess engines, now that I look it up on Wikipedia.)
I think the corporate culture that is highlighted today and whose rules are more prominently enforced in other venues of life is extremely off-putting for most people. And you even have people advertising professionalism. I don't understand how you can be so hostile to life...

The latter is needed if there is a common goal to achieve and when that goal is clear you get acceptance for the necessity and people compromise. So it is on companies to make that goal clear.

If not, people make their own social order and abandon the current one. A lot of people didn't vote for Trump because they place their hopes in him, they just didn't think this current explanation has anything to do with reality. Then they are told it is the Russians. It wasn't an elaborate lie, but the means it was enforced certainly is unattractive for anyone. So where is the invoice for that? Debts don't vanish.

At that point I even would encourage non-compliance.

> Teens go through a period of increased emotional fluctuation [...] “Bad idea. Don’t post that on Facebook because it might hurt my chances of getting a job [...]”

The problem isn't teens in this case. It is the people that make it a reality that a posting on Facebook can indeed cost them their job. Slowly HR is adapting and extend that pleasure to those that use social media posts in such ways. Journalism might be an exception here due to the nature of its work.
>If they would just make it work right the first time, the way software used to be developed

Was this ever true? Was there really some golden age where everything worked or were we just blissfully ignorant to the problems?
It's important to understand that there's only one news. Rest everything that different news outlets publish are perspectives.

It's a classic example of the elephant and 10 blind men.

A news is a one time event observed in 1st, 2nd, or 3rd person perspective. When news outlets start acting as businesses, the need for differentiation leads them to dig out the different interpretations of the same event and report those that have higher probability of capturing public attention.
Reading multiple interpretations of the same news could feel like something really big and noteworth has happened. In effect, it's the same news being reported everywhere.
I'm happier with android firefox than I would be with any other mobile browser, but that doesn't mean it doesn't have issues. The biggest one for me is that bookmarks are almost unusable. You can't search them, you can't see or edit tags, and you can't re-order them.
I have to disagree. This is like saying that most people never consider sleeping with their neighbor's wife. Bullshit. I think people who claim that they never have such "bad thoughts" are lying - either to the world or to themselves. If you refuse to admit to yourself that you've considered it, you can never have an honest conversation with yourself and work out the rational reasons why you shouldn't do it. This is how "normal" people end up suddenly doing things totally seemingly out of character; they failed to be honest with themselves.

I don't understand why you're mixing a health claim that you failed to prove with an environmental claim that I agree with. If your point is that using arable land to grow cattle or cattle feed is a waste, then I agree with you. If your point is that we should stop eating meat for health reasons, then I wasn't convinced by what you showed me, and disagree with you. If your point is that we should stop eating meat for moral reasons (as in animal rights), then I disagree with you. If your point is that we should stop eating all meat for environmental reasons, then I disagree with you, as not all meat has the same impact, and I think we should avoid blanket statements like that, especially when they are mostly based on what happens in the USA and not around the world. If your point is that we should stop eating meat that has the most ecological impact, like American or Brazilian beef, then I agree. If your point is not any of those things, then I failed to understand it.
What we need is also open source, open documentation and open firmware. That way when manufacturers loose economic interest in software updates users can take over. Ie open source access should be enforced by law.

We also need modular hardware so that processors / main board the brain of the device can be replaced independently of the other hardware.

For example the entertainment system software of a car will get much more out of date than the physical hardware of the car itself. For environmental reasons this needs to be addressed. Same with other devices such as TVs the physical screen will last longer than the software in the device.

Solutions that mandate companies to continuously actively maintain software can't and won't work. Even if they have to set aside a budget, they could obey the letter of the law and fail to do this, no matter how the law is framed. If we're going to make a mandate, it should be that the firmware for any device you refuse to maintain must be open-sourced and made available to the public. This way, if anyone cares to keep the device running, they can, even if the company goes out of business
I see your point but the article is about the Surface and how it is made for Windows 11. As a consumer, what do I have to base it on today other than how they've changed Windows 10 for the worst. To me what you're saying is like telling me I can't form on opinion on Police Academy 6 based on what I thought of Police Academy 5,4,3,2 and 1.

I agree that the likely result is that lab-grown meat will most likely cost more. I'm just not sure that not-lab-grown meat will stay cheap. The unseen environmental costs of raising livestock are not currently well-represented in its price, which is also heavily subsidized (both financial subsidies and unhandled environmental externalities). And there's not enough land in the US to put all of its livestock to graze. There's water supply problems for livestock and feed (which takes 10x resources to grow compared to simply growing plants). So if, on top of that, you introduce mitigations that reduce profit somewhat, the price will have to go up even more.

Factory farms are also currently benefitting from economies of scale, something that plant-based meat manufacturers are only now catching up to. Plant-based meat's ingredients are generally pretty cheap compared to the cost of raising livestock, so theoretically they could potentially beat the cost of meat.

My non-expert hunch is that its externalities of lab-grown meat will be somewhat different from factory farms. Time will tell if they're better, more sustainable trade-offs.

Update is a necessity in my opinion, but yes it comes with a price and it is really great to see some updates that really take the notch a level up.

Do cells use passwords in state transitions, or encrypt signals?
If we collectively agreed to do it, that's not an issue

You provide a copy to a specified organisation which will keep the physical copy locked until date X. If you release something on local market and the source is not deposited, you get fined until you do. It would only need regulation - which of course we won't get due to many companies that would fight this idea.

It’s never a choice between $99.99 and $107.99, usually the difference is 2-5-10x.
Can we assume that? And if we can, can we assume that the kinds of problems lab-grown meat has are the same problems as factory farms?

Unauthenticated Remote Code Execution (RCE) Vulnerability in Hikvision IP Camera
" First, I consider whether cells use passwords, i.e., initiation sequences that are required for subsequent signals to have effects, by analyzing the concept of pioneer transcription factors in chromatin regulation and cellular reprogramming.

Second, I consider whether cells may encrypt signal transduction cascades. Encryption could benefit cells by making it more difficult for pathogens or oncogenes to hijack cell networks. By using numerous molecules, cells may gain a security advantage in particular against viruses, whose genome sizes are typically under selection pressure.'
For me it comes down to data. I don't mean in how I reason (I mean I try to use data) but in deciding whether a place is an echo chamber.

I used to be more libertarian, and I still lean that way. But after reading and posting a fair bit in that kind of forum, I decided most of my libertarian friends weren't actually using data. They'd say intelligent sounding things, but in the end it was all just "common sense" rather than data. "Minimum wage won't work because you'll cut out unproductive people from the labour market", that kind of thing. This is the kind of thing that tends to point towards an unstated theory of markets work, which is both unspecific and unfounded in most debates. I'd hear a lot of these arguments over the years, and there was always a gap between what I'd learned studying economics and what people were saying.

Part of this is our culture of discourse. Discussions are overwhelmingly in the format of text and speech, and mostly informal. You never get told what is being assumed, and things always make sense because essentially the arguments are tautological: vague ideas that refers to each other in a circle, heavily dependent on latent definitions of every concept (eg "work" as a thing you do but you don't want to do without motivation).

The arguments that actually matter are data. Almost nobody you meet in daily life understands statistics. They'll all tell you, because there's a book by this name (How to Lie with Statistics), that stats are easily manipulated. Very few people care to dig into things like how stats are assembled, what they mean, how noise is dealt with, or what way cause and effect goes (because of that other trope, "Correlation is not causation"). The fact is we can figure out all of these things if we are careful enough.
Generally most of my electronics that contain a microcontroller but no internet have been bug free.

I think part of this comes from the much smaller testing surface - my old vacuum cleaner has one button for power and one dial for suction power, so it's quite simple to write a bug-free implementation. Same for my dishwasher, laundry machine, etc. They generally come with a very limited number of inputs, and a microcontroller that runs through a state machine based on the inputs.
what about last.fm. Got an account like 10y ago, connected to my stream. Looks alive and well, probably selling my data but is there anything to know from last 5y ?
What do you mean "willing"? Shouldn't they be obligated to? If I pay my own money for the software it should work, no?

For how long? Day ? Two? Or may be a week? If so they should say it will work for one week. Otherwise I do not see a reason why it should stop working.

If it stops working it's a fraud isn't it?

For instance. I have bought iPhone4. Youtube app doesn't work there anymore but all links are redirected to it so basically you cannot see it at all in Safari. Weather doesn't work there anymore. Safari doesn't open many sites anymore. XCode doesn't support it anymore so I couldn't even put my own software there. Transfer of photos to a M1 Mac didn't work last time I've checked.

Why it should stop working? They should fix it, no? Or at least provide source code so I could fix it if they do not want to.

And this also rises the question of having full access to a device you own, also because those who sell it to you have a tendency to write a garbage software anyway.
I also like the concept. Did you face issues with heat management, was your device fanless? That's often one of my main concern with those 2-1, if you want a good CPU, you often have throttling issues because it's really difficult to design a good cooling system for such a unique form factor.
I don't even think there needs to be more than one "technique" - think of all the authors that are worse without an editor. It's about not having any pushback, and missing your blind spots or getting high on your own supply.

Or simple software that Just Works.

The Ford Electronic Engine Control IV first appeared in Ford vehicles in the 1980s. It was designed to last for at least 30 years. (I was around when it was being designed.) The program is in a read-only memory etched into the silicon and cannot be changed. It was tested very thoroughly before it shipped by the millions. There are still vehicles on the road with that unit, mostly older Ford trucks. I still have a 1985 Ford Bronco with it.

Safety-critical functions should be like that, not in downloadable software.
If that crap-kernel passed QA tests on its day, what would be the excuse for updating it? The use case does not change, then the crap-kernel is valid.

Example: my Korg Kronos is a synthesizer workstation that runs an outdated Linux kernel on an obsolete motherboard. But it just works, it's a musical instrument so why would it need new updates? Security could be arguable (it even has an FTP server, so, yes, but it's a musical keyboard not a server) New features? The product feature set was closed when I bought it. There have been a few updates but basically everything is the same.

>But until the law makes the judgement, being banned from a grocery store cannot automatically and without any recourse get you banned from your bank, your car insurance, your mail service, and many other things.

in your analogy the grocery store also has a gun shop next door they own, you're in the grocery store and they decide that you are buying something to poison someone so they don't let you, you go next door to the gun shop where they say 'hey, customer 2214 potential murderer of course you can buy the gun!' You buy the gun and go kill the person you were intending to kill.

When the law gets involved the company owning the grocery store and gun store will find it has a lot of liability.

Basically anything where you think the law will get involved and have to make a determination will mean you will have to shut down all services.

Notice the law getting involved banning is of course different than the you were an asshole banning.

on edit: I of course think it's ridiculous that this account got banned, but that doesn't change the fact that the argument put forward here about wait for the law to make determination just isn't going to fly in any situation, and think about it if someone was a terrorist, got banned in service X but used service Y to coordinate their big attack that killed thousands would you really be sitting here saying service Y was right not to ban them? Maybe you would, but the law and general public opinion probably wouldn't.
Sure you can, make liability a thing like in other industries, and make introducing development practices that make RCE avoidable a legal requirement.

Most RCE come to to happen, because the industry largely considers security best practices an afterthought and keeps pushing for the use of unsafe languages.

These sorts of extreme costs are inherent to any trustless decentralized system like Ethereum. Storing and verifying contracts across tens if not hundreds of thousands of nodes is not free.
Having an issue due to bugs exacerbated by market volatility and IPOs don't mean that something is centralized as indicated by the issue report, it just means it still has kinks—which is why mainnet is still considered beta until it proves otherwise. Additionally, anyone can run a validator node but the specs needed are beefier compared to something like Algorand, so the more people running nodes then the more decentralized it becomes.

I know of almost no software that's ever finished. This is not some conspiracy. It's just a fact of life. Examples, image editors need to load new formats. Old computers didn't have cameras, now they do, many softwares would suck without support for them. New input devices come out (mice, touch screens), software needs an update to support them. Old old computers didn't have networking. Once networking exists plenty of software will be effectively obsolete if not updated to take advantagae. Old software was ASCII only, then the net connected us to the world and not all that old software needs to support full unicode. Old software didn't support useful rich copy and paste, new use cases appear (copy and paste text, images, audio clips, video, URL links, rich text, structured graphics). Old software that can't handle this is obsolete. Old software didn't handle multiple resolutions. Try running some non-HD-DPI aware Windows software on an HD-DPI screen. Good luck reading the text. Old software thought it could own the machine. OSes realized they needed to put the user in control. Now the software needs to be updated to ask for permission instead of just crash when it fails to access something.

Most software has to be updated, period.
Heh, I would love more boring laptops with good GPUs, I always feel bad giving our data scientists or computer vision engineers garish LED monstrosities just so they can train faster locally.

From what I understand, the Surface Laptop Studio is a new approach/iteration to the Surface Book concept. Instead of being able to separate the display from the keyboard, which in practice is a bit of a pain as you never know how well Windows and your applications will react, you just switch from "laptop position" to "tablet position". Not sure how well that would work in practice, but it's an interesting idea.

It may not be that we'd have to design the full animal, and it may not be it has to not have any brain.

Modifying an existing organism might be much easier, and removing higher functions might be enough, depending on what we know now or later about the brain.

Is what makes eating an animal and a plant different for most people what constitutes their mass, or how we perceive them to think and feel? Making them not think and feel (and at the organism level, not the removal of that potential in an individual after birth) may be a path forward.

As a hypothetical, to bring it back to humans, and divorce it from reproduction which might have emotional baggage in many peoples reasoning, imagine a person with a tuberous growth that was removed, but we can cause it to continue to grow outside the body. If it's confirmed safe to consume, are there ethical problems with that person eating their own cells? What about other people?
