> 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 economics of scale just means that you can't get much better than linear, but in nearly all cases you at least get linear scaling.
That would be the trick. Perhaps a screen manufacturer will realize they could make better margin if they built just enough “netbook” around the screen to sell it as a computer, or perhaps screens will just get cheaper until at some point a “good enough” netbook screen is very cheap.
No. That’s just not how the concept of density works.

For example, A 5 mile radius city has x baseball diamonds in it. That’s x per every 78.5 square miles.

Let’s say the suburbs of that city are a ring of width 25 miles with y baseball diamonds in it. That makes the baseball diamond density of the suburbs y per every 1885 square miles.

I’ll spare you the math x=24y give or take.

Then I encourage you to go to google maps and look at America’s most notoriously crowded cities like nyc, sf, Boston, Chicago. There are dozens if not hundreds of baseball fields in city limits. Central park’s 26 fields alone would need to be offset by 624 in the suburbs to achieve equal density.

The “problem” is that most of those diamonds are difficult to drive to and park at, which is why OP considers them non-existent.
Just installed it. First impressions:

* The good

- It is very responsive and smooth

- Install just following instructions described

- F-droid works

- Apps installed from F-droid works

- Full screen videos from Newpipe play smoothly

* The bad

- Had to enable "invert colors" to get correct colors

- Mouse scroll is inverted

- Can't choose correct layout of physical keyboard because android thinks there's no physical keyboard connected

- Android gestures on the desktop are annoying

- Can't access whole screen of vertical apps and they appear sideways on my screen

- Multiwindow mode didn't work at first

* The ugly:

- Nothing is actually ugly. Everything mostly works as expected

> I am saying that those communities of experts have decided that the question of ivermectin’s effectiveness is effectively settled.

Trials[1] don't tend to be run on settled science, so it really does seem that you've taken a position based on political arguments.

> I also never said shut down disagreement. That’s a straw man you created. Anti-vax is not a good-intentioned disagreement

You've said to shut down disagreement based on a standard that requires mind reading. How is that effectively any different from shutting down disagreement? That old Chomsky quote about Stalin being for free speech he agreed with come to mind.

> Allowing pseudoscience to flourish under some strange argument that their positions are as scientifically valid as actual science, is, frankly, nonsense.

This is an actual straw man, by the way, the comment you're replying to made no such faulty conflation.

Since mind reading is back in fashion I will do some clairvoyancy and predict that I will be labelled anti-vaxx for defending the mere possibility of disagreement and dissent. Now there's a problem with a non-zero number of the HN community you should be concerned about.

Thanks, that looks cool. Just that a professor with slides is rarely a good sign that something is soon production ready, but them meeting production milestones is a good sign.

Still I wont bother to check the physics, if they are right it is great, but I wont change my life based on them making it. I know the problems with ITER, it will be too expensive to really revolutionize much, but I haven't done physics in a while and wont bother with more now.

Yep, emacs org-mode (org-babel for code exec, etc) is such an awesome datascience platform, I wish more knew about it and used it. One primary issue I have sometimes though is the barrier to entry for others to use, as everyone has a favorite editor and only emacs really properly handles org files, but, I have also found that it's not that hard to put the notebooks in a ci pipeline that processes so people can just submit pr's independent of using emacs and still see the results. What they miss though is the interactive nature of org-babel.
I live in upper midwest in what should be native forested area and large tracts of forest have been clearcut just for cattle. My neighbor last year cut dozens of acres of heavy forest to raise more cattle. I don't think people fully understand what has been done in many areas to destroy the native environment just to raise cattle.. let alone the corn raised that many cattle ranchers in midwest at least feed their cattle.
>Sorry what is the conflict of interest in offering the most accurate information they can?

* When Fauci was telling people masks aren't needed was he speaking as a scientific authority giving "most accurate information" or was he speaking as a bureaucrat concerned about ppp availability for hospitals?

* When WHO goes against the booster shot narrative is it because of the science or is it because they want vaccines distributed to other parts of the world?

* When these organizations were casting doubt and even CENSORING the Wuhan lab origin theory is it because of the science or because of potential gain of function research and their association?

These "authorities" have chosen to act as political bureaucrats first and they have done it poorly. This is the result.
If you want to do something like this at home, I fully encourage you to try it out! It's an afternoon project if you've got an old laptop laying around, bonus points if you know your way around Unix. The key software component here is spotifyd, a Spotify daemon for any Linux boxes. So if you have a spare Raspberry Pi/Laptop/Smart Fridge that you'd like to bless with Spotify superpowers, it's really only a few keystrokes to set up!
Fellow vegan here.

I’m torn on this topic. I personally would not be a customer of lab meat. However if someone is going to eat meat it’s much better for the environment if they eat lab grown meat. On the other hand, they are not experiencing the health benefits of eating a plant based diet.

In the end, I’m neither in support or oppose to this research. I do wonder if the investment is better spend on Beyond or Impossible (which I am not a customer of either.)

These two statements seem conflicting. If we're already seeing it in places why should we not be concerned? It may be unlikely to happen here and to us, but why take the chance? The risk-reward tradeoff is extremely unbalanced. Like the above commenter said, how often do you go back in your history?

As a more real west experience we do see morals changing and we have been going through cultural changes. There are plenty of people who have had tweets uncovered with positions they themselves no longer agree with. That's a question people are trying to address right now but it is a difficult one to have because it is so heated. But it does boil down to "do people change opinions?" Personally I think the answer is obvious. But it is undeniable that history gets people in trouble, even if those histories were popular opinions at the time. (I wouldn't draw parallels to Brown Shirts with these instances as there's a big difference in scale and power, but I would draw parallels to Brown Shirts for countries with authoritarian rules where text histories are large liabilities and can get you killed or jailed).
> that they served a purpose, and that I'll one day be returned to the earth for those like them to eat (my minerals in the grass, etc).

They served your purpose, not some noble purpose that matters at all to them. It wouldn’t make sense in the context of a person to kill them and say it was ok because they “served a purpose”. Animals don’t want to die for your satisfaction.

you have absolutely zero understanding of the nature of raising beef cattle. Which, for many subsets of cattle rearing, can basically be left to their own devices. From where I sit currently I can see our 150 head comfortably munch their way through oats and pasture into which they were introduced4 months ago, and where they will stay for at least another 4 months, with minimal human intervention until the next calving season comes.

There is very little that is difficult and dangerous about the labour required to herd cattle a couple of times a year, unless you are talking about the gyrocopter cowboys in far north queensland and the Northern Territory, of whom a better description would be crazy or insane

Feedlotting is more labour intensive, but then the beef is more expensive because in some markets it is considered of a higher grade, and they may weigh more
> Have you seen the TV ads for cloud storage services?

Google Drive is not a "cloud storage service". You're not a paying customer of Google and you have no leverage with them at all. Putting your only copy of any data that you can't afford to lose on Google Drive is just asking for trouble.

> Google for failing to comply with their own implied warranty

There is no implied warranty for a service that's being given to you for free and for which you have no customer agreement or contract with Google. If you want a warranty, express or implied, you need to be a paying customer.
Not really disagreeing that a pharmacist might know more about the drugs than a doctor. I wasn't warned about the potential side effects of Ciprofloxacin once, just told it was an "antibiotic" by the specialist I saw, and the pharmacist did clue me in about some side effects, which I promptly had some of the worst ones after a single pill. I might not have made the connection it was a bad reaction to the pills without their warning, at least not so quickly. I continued to have side effects off and on for years afterwards.

I learned my lesson and now do my own research before just taking any medicine a doctor wants to prescribe now.

But I still don't think pharmacists should be able to just override the decision of a doctor. Make sure the person is fully informed of potential dangers, side effects and correct usage, sure, but not override the doctor. The doctor has had an opportunity to examine and talk to the patient at length, multiple times over multiple visits, and know their history and specific needs, the pharmacist doesn't know any of that background and are most likely just making assumptions.

I mean if it's literal rat poison or a dose guaranteed to kill the person is being prescribed, maybe they can hold off on fulfilling it and alert authorities, but otherwise?

Opioids are a major problem, as there are addicts that cycle doctors to get multiple prescriptions so some doctors might not realize it's being overprescribed, but that's a matter of addiction and abuse and I don't know how a pharmacist is expected to know when it's being abused or not, unless they're getting them all filled at the same pharmacy. Again, they're not spending enough time with these people to know what their situation is. The most interaction I have with my pharmacist is "Picking up a prescription." "Verify your address please?" "My address." "Okay this has these side effects and you should only have it after a meal." "Okay thanks." Yeah that's totally enough for them to make a medical decision on my behalf. /s

If anything, I think them deciding when to withhold medicine could make them MORE liable, not less, because they're inserting themself into the decision process. What if their withholding fulfillment of a prescription results in that person dying? If the doctor said yes and they said no, that seems to open up room for litigation to me.
I've taught a scientific computing course aimed at first year grad students in the biomedical sciences for about 15 years. This article absolutely mirrors my experience. When I started out teaching this course I could assume that students had a mental model of how the file system on their computers worked, but over time I've seen more and more students lacking what I had always assumed was basic knowledge.

It's more acute among the undergrads I teach than grad students, but it's increasingly becoming the norm.

I now devote a portion of a class session to reviewing this, and force them to use both the command line and the finder/file explorer in parallel so they see the correspondence.

Part of the blame lies with the OS -- both Window and Mac OS do their best to obfuscate/hide the basic directory structure from the user with shortcuts.

I'll add that my experience is at an R1/Top 10 (in the US) institution so this is NOT due to a lack of prior education or academic promise...
Well, you're assuming that technological advancement is linear and one way. We simply have not been technologically advanced in any notable way that we know of to be the least bit certain that this is true. A lot can happen within 5000 years.

2. With that said, soy is a complete protein.
3. Soy is also a legume.

But what are the odds that this asteroid is going to hit at exactly the moment you want to go to war, as opposed to too early when you are unprepared, or too late and the opportunity you're hoping to gain from the war is no longer available?

Further, what happens when people start asking why China blew up Cleveland instead of some place more valuable? Or they ask why there was no build up to this attack? Or ask why your government did nothing to avert this? If you try to utilize a real disaster which you did not have foreknowledge of, you don't have time to carefully craft a story which stands up to basic scrutiny and run the serious risk of putting yourself in a worse position than you started with.

Again, the whole point of a false flag is that you are choosing to make up something instead of relying on real life to justify what you want to do. You control the story, you can make it serve you however you like on your timetable.

The saying "never let a crisis go to waste" is something that sounds smart and edgy so long as you don't think about it for more than 5 minutes.

Alternatively, non-billion dollar projects are relatively untapped. There's a rich seam of million dollar ideas that VCs won't fund but are too deep to do in a weekend and too niche for corporations and agencies to do in their spare time.

Just to put this out there, unless every advanced civilization becomes a hive mind with one unified will, some individual or splinter group or just hodgepodge of determined individuals would probably do it even if there were no incentive, and that's not to point out that incentives are somewhat subjective and differ between individuals and groups. If there are enough individuals on a civilization and the capability exists, some crazy person will do it.
Well yeah, the tennis example is pretty limited as an analogy because it's the players themselves, their parents, and maybe coaches who do the investing. Also, flattening the payouts is better if you want more people playing tennis professionally, but that might not actually be a desirable outcome. I think it's mainly useful as an example to show how minor skill differences can lead to massively different outcomes. It's up to us to decide whether and how much income redistribution will lead to the kind of society we want to live in.
It depends, if they share some facilities with other functions that pay parts of the bills then those parts wont scale up. Like lets say you rent out part of your capacity to a nearby lab that pay research lab money for it, that could cover most of their expenses for a small facility. I wouldn't be surprised if that is how they are running things right now.

> But I still don't think pharmacists should be able to just override the decision of a doctor.

You’re free to believe that, but understand that this is well in the “wishes and hopes” territory more than a factual understanding of how doctors, patients, and pharmacists actually interact. Personally I believe the idea that we’d spend a huge amount of time and effort as a society training a whole class of specialists and then declare that they must abide by the decisions made by a generalist to be quite odd. Your personal doctor isn’t able to override your oncologist, so why should they be able to override the experts on prescribed medicine?

> If anything, I think them deciding when to withhold medicine could make them MORE liable, not less, because they're inserting themself into the decision process.

I’m sorry, but that’s clearly motivated reasoning and completely unrelated to the actual law. Pharmacists are subject to medical malpractice laws just like every other type of doctor, there’s no magical “I didn’t insert myself into the process therefore I’m not liable” clause.
Sure, there are already open source projects that do Vulkan -> Metal like MoltenVK.

But any time you are emulating one complex low level API with another, there are likely performance penalties. Not to mention you are raising the complexity of the software stack and adding more surface area for bugs.

It would be better if there was an open source low level graphics API that every OS could support in addition to their own proprietary APIs focused on ease of use.
