People eat more meat than they need. Most people would be healthier if they consumed less of it or none and substituted vegetables/beans/nuts for those calories while still getting proper amounts of protein from non-meat sources.

Reducing meat consumption reduces a bunch of other consumption of resources letting people get their calories more efficiently.

> Meat is considered one of the prime factors contributing to the current biodiversity loss crisis.

> the livestock sector is a major stressor on many ecosystems and on the planet as a whole. Globally it is one of the largest sources of greenhouse gases (GHG) and one of the leading causal factors in the loss of biodiversity, and in developed and emerging countries it is perhaps the leading source of water pollution.

> farmers would reduce their land use of feed crops; currently representing about 75% of US land use, and would reduce the use of fertilizer due to the lower land areas and crop yields needed. A transition to a more plant based diet is also projected to improve health, which can lead to reductions in healthcare GHG emissions, currently standing at 8% of US emissions [1]

What's not to understand? Stop eating meat. We don't need lab-grown meat. We don't need meat substitutes.

First off - consistency. People are creatures of habit and it will be best for both of you, and especially your kid(s), to have a routine.

Personally, I work a mostly normal and consistent schedule while my wife makes her own schedule. I basically let her walk all over me. I've given up my career and just have a job now. Either you need to come to a standard and fairly rigid schedule, or one of you has to yeild.

On a side note, who hires someone to renovate a garage? That's the area to build your skills (and kid's skills) at drywall, paint, etc. What's the point of working so much if you have to spend that money to have other people do basic things and have other people or the school raise your kids? Not you personally, but just my impression of couples that work a lot and make a lot, to the poi t they dont spend much time with the kids.
I'm at Planet.com - our founders worked on phone-sat at NASA then went on to build an earth imaging company with more than 100 satellites at any given time - all imaging as fast as possible :)
Most things people said wouldn't happen didn't happen though. Some remarkable things happened, yes, but you can't count on remarkable breakthroughs happening in any specific area.

People looked at past results and thought we would live forever by now, but we still die and there is no end in sight of that.

People looked at past energy use and saw the future of fusion solving all human energy needs, but energy use has been flat for the past 50 years as no new efficient enough energy sources was found.

People looked at the innovations of transportation and assumed we would all have flying cars today, yet we still drive cars on the ground just like 70 years ago. They are a bit safer and more efficient today, but they are still just cars.

They say that they process all of your data:

They also have some weirdly specific claim about advertising, which I don’t trust bc it sounds like they’re mincing words:

I wouldn't say eating meat is the healthiest thing you can eat.

It seems like most people need fiber for a diverse and resilient gut biome.

But the dangers of cholesterol are largely overblown.

Sugar, oxidation, insulin levels, and stress play a far more pervasive roles.

Statins are largely ineffective for preventing heart disease except for a small percentage of older white males.

There's also a low causal relationship between dietary cholesterol and the cholesterol found in your blood.

And most cholesterol in the human body is produced in the liver.

The biomechanics of the body are complex and difficult, but one underrated aspect of being able to produce meat in a lab is you would be able to repurpose that technology to produce human organs for people who need new kidneys, livers, hearts, lungs, etc.

It's a very valuable technology, even if you're not interested in eating it.
Is there a way to get a complete download of your data from Google? Maybe an online guide or something.

My personal reason for beginning the post the way I did is because of the ease of misinterpreting someone's tone when the communication is only textual, and that you lose the extra context you might gain when being able to hear someone's voice.

I'm not angry at Mozilla because of the frustration I feel when trying to use Fenix as intended. I only wish that there was some way we could have a stable alternative to Chrome on Android with support for WebExtensions, and there appear to be several issues preventing that wish from coming true.

And I do not want to seem like I'm trying to attack anyone by trying to explain why I felt the frustration I did. I personally believe that declaring my intentions in a precise manner upfront is a reasonable step to take for a post like this.

> Objective-C is quite fast–in many cases faster than Swift–and as (memory) safe as Swift for the most part.

Ehhhh. If you write Swift the same way you write Obj-C, it will generally be as fast or faster. You only fall off the happy performance path when you use Swift features that don't even exist in Obj-C. That's not Swift being slower, that's Swift letting you use abstractions that aren't possible in Obj-C. But you don't _have_ to use them.

And given that Obj-C is a superset of C, you can't reasonably claim both that "most CVEs come from code written in C or C++" and also that Obj-C is as memory safe as Swift.
I'm not sure what you mean by "the exact version of xcode installed" but you can compile most applications with any recent version. Of course when new SDKs are released you need to update the Xcode version but it's not a big deal (and maybe a once a year thing).

It is an IDE + build system but you can totally write code in a different editor and compile it on the command line with xcodebuild.

I have two complaints for Firefox Mobile (Android.

1. `about:config` is disabled on Stable branch, if you want to access it you need to use the Beta branch. Why is that the case? You don't see the same arbitrary limitation on desktop.

2. It seems to have issue loading a page randomly from time to time, and even trying to reload or open a different URL doesn't work, kinda like as if the tab itself crashed and became unresponsive. I haven't found a cause yet, and I don't know if I'm the only one.
> Given the erosion in the bill of rights here, I suspect things are on a similar playing field.

Not even close. Ready?

Joe Biden is suffering from worsening dementia. It was obvious before he took office. He's incompetent for the office. His aids constantly have to protect him from the public spectacle of his declining mental condition. The media also constantly does their part to artificially shield him. Biden was probably the candidate most capable of beating Trump (the Biden campaign mostly let Trump punch himself out), perhaps the only candidate capable of it, however he was also not mentally/physically fit for the office.

Have you seen some of the super creepy videos of him on YouTube? How about all his various embarrassing gaffs (fella from down under)? They're still on YouTube. It works in a similar way in China with Xi and the party in general, right?

I've placed this comment on a public forum, anyone can read it.

When do the authorities show up to disappear me? How many years shall I spend in prison for my comment? Will my family be safe?

Did you see what the media did to Trump during his Presidency? Did you read social media during those four years? And there is a similar playing field in the US as in China? Ha.
You need to live in a quieter area. Too much noise pollution in NYC.

In a suburb of Portland Oregon I routinely hear helicopters up to about 2000 feet. I hear many planes at over 5000 ft. When jets take off from PDX and climb over my house I can easily hear them at about 16,000 feet.

> Why does being pro-vaccine necessitate being hostile to treatment options?

There are treatment options. Remdesivir, dexomethazone, monoclonal antibodies, anti-clotting drugs, etc. NIH has put out guidelines [1], especially p. 62-63.

One year or one year and a half ago not much was known about Covid, so people were looking at vitamin D, aspirin, hydroxychloroquine, etc. Now there are quite a few options.

As you can see, the NIH continues to investigate additional options like Ivermectin. There's no grand conspiracy to hide cures from people. The need for people to experiment by themselves is simply not there. It probably was in the first half of 2020, but not anymore.

Also, so is lots of farmed raised meat.
> You're in charge of saving lives but you can't handle something as standard as cost estimation.

The irony, coming from a profession which is notoriously bad at cost estimation.

But in any case, the difficultly is not so much the materials/services as much as figuring out what the patient's insurance company (which is completely different then the practice) will cover and by how much. But of course that's actually what matters to the patient.

They know medicine, not the intricacies of your particular insurance policy.

The API microsoft provides allow you to make outputs that do anything that JavaScript can do, when making an extension. One of their engineers made a something called REST Book that's a really good example.
The ruling does not require Apple to permit those external methods of payment to be embedded within the app, rather than opened outside the app in the system web browser. Epic oversteps their rights by declaring to Apple that Apple must accept their 'alternative IAP' methodology. Apple is under no compulsion to define their terms to accept Epic's intentions as compliant with rules that they have 90 days to decide on and publish, and has many options available in their decisions that would both comply with the ruling while also continuing to prohibit Epic's declared intentions.

The ruling also gives Apple 90 days to decide the exact specifics of how it will comply with the ruling, and until then, the Fortnite app's code would remain out of compliance with the current rules until they are updated within the 90 day period. Since Epic does not commit in their letter to Apple to removing that code, to comply with the rules as they are today, of course Apple chose not to accept them back into the store. If Epic had unwound their willful violation of the rules as they are today, they would have met Apple's stated terms for having developer services restored and likely would not have been asked to wait.

Aside from the guidelines change, does the ruling specifically compel Apple to set aside Epic's contractual violation, or is Apple allowed if they so desire to simply let stand their standard normal permaban for "you knowingly lied to Apple and broke the rules" as the rules were defined at the time?
Yup.

It's like saying that it's impossible to climb a mountain because, from a mile away, you can't see any handholds.

Obviously thermodynamic arguments that conclude with, "And so, we see that it's actually more efficient to house, feed, water, and slaughter real, live animals for meat," are ridiculously invalid. The same will eventually become true for the economic arguments in the article. It's 'just' a matter of asking how we get there from here, and putting in the R&D work necessary to make it happen.
That's exactly where my mind went as I read the article.

All of this money and effort just to continue to prosecute a meaningless and harmful "drug war."

At this point, countries are literally spending money to prevent themselves from making money (by setting up legal markets and tax structures).

It's all so absolutely and miserably asinine.
But anything less than an infinite tax on animal slaughter would be akin to outright tolerating extreme suffering of a living thing so long as someone is willing to pay for it. I can’t see any difference between an infinite tax and just banning animal slaughter.
Thank you this is closer to what I was looking for

“Clearly, I don’t think cultured meat has legs” is the best way you could possibly put it and prime headline material.

So, welp, I guess there’s no cheap meat in the future however you put it. And that’s pretty okay because the alternatives are quite good and getting better.
I think you're generalizing a little bit too much, if you're talking about excess red meat and beef then yeah I would probably agree with you, but if you're consuming healthier sources such as lean chicken and fish then I haven't really read any papers suggesting that they have adverse health effects.
Daily reminder that you need backups

Daily reminder that online stored files should be encrypted (no bot would have found anything it doesnt like)

Daily reminder that google is know for this and should not be used unless for a third backup or something.
I think you will have a hard time proving beyond speculation that Apple or Microsoft has backdoors to their OS. Would be curious to see any sources though. I actually think that is the difference here, Chinese phones and possibly other devices have backdoors, but Apple/Microsoft likely do not.

> What we need to cut are salaries and employment. If you don't acknowledge that, then you are not a serious participant in this discussion because you are refusing to acknowledge that this problem has tough trade offs. You are not going to solve it by "cutting waste".

Yes I agree. Take the windfall profit motive out of the system and you’ll see quite a bit of change. Paying doctors less sounds like a great plan.

But we can start with the truly staggering amount of deadweight loss. Do you actually interact with the US health care system? Is it really that hard to understand just how much energy is wasted fucking around with just the billing component alone?
So much this. Host locally, and push encrypted backups to a cloud service.

Doing this will screw Google’s ability to optimize storage for identical files, which may drive up costs, but it’s the best way to ensure your data stays private.
Even if it's high it'd be good for probes. Larger multilanding vehicles might be too heavy and the thrust too high for this to do enough any ways.
Jitsi? Anyone?

I'm not one of those people that doesn't like redundancy or thinks that people developing tools that serve a purpose for which other tools already exist is a waste of time. I like options, I want people to build what they think they should build.

But I honestly do not see a point of this, except that Brave is trying to become an ecosystem. I don't want another ecosystem.
The white man destroyed sustainable ecosystems around the world, many of which had extremely high levels of meat consumption by indigenous people, and replaced them with unsustainable, industrialized meat production. That is the only reason “high meat consumption” is a question in the first place.
That's not true. It's a basic tenet of science. Even astronomical theories (for which no experiments are possible) are backed up by observation.

Scientific theories must be testable. It must be possible to prove them wrong with experiments or observation.
I hate to weigh in here, but nothing is "perfectly safe"! This kind of absolute language seems to create distrust when people discover it's not quite true.

At this stage, the safety is fairly quantifiable, too: https://www.publichealthontario.ca/en/health-topics/immuniza... has a weekly adverse effects report which breaks down myocarditis/pericarditis by sex and age, per million population (the most common dangerous side effect for mRNA vaccines).
$500k is an outlier but I stand by my wheelbarrows full of cash comment generally. Tech pays well, compared to a lot of careers certainly.

If you're in the US there is a pretty clear path to get into FAANG. It's just painful.

Google and others produce entire youtube channels full of instructions on how to study for and pass their interviews.

If you spend 3 hours a night reading books that get recommended on HN (stuff like designing data intensive applications), Practicing on Leetcode, and watching interview prep videos many people will eventually be able to get to a point where they can get a job at a SV tech company. Once you have one of the big companies on your resume it's pretty easy to move around between them to find one that you like and really dig in. Starting comp is not going to be $500k but it's going to be pretty stout, these numbers are transparent on levels.fyi.

From here you just keep up the 3 hours a night of studying. Work a little over time here or there maybe, thats honestly not even that necessary. You don't have to be a jerk or play any weird power games. Just work hard and make good stuff. Plenty of people work really hard to get to FAANG and then do a deep exhale and go "that shit was exhausting!!! I think I'll rest". Nothing wrong with that either, but if you keep working at the same pace you'll get promoted.

There are some other things too along the way to Staff. People skills. Understanding organizations and their many dysfunctions. Learning to drive big projects. These are learnable skills and you get to learn from some of the most talented people on earth.

This may sound like a lot but consider something like...going to night school to get a bachelors degree or something. I suspect that would actually be more than 3 hours a night of work. And much more boring work on top of it.

Do that for 7-10 years. Now you're a Staff Engineer making $500k. If you want you can keep doing it after that and things get even more crazy.

Most people stop along the way and say "this giant pile of money is actually quite enough thank you" or slow down and take promotions as they come rather than studying like a maniac. Or they decide to wander off and try something other than FAANG.

Most of these steps come down to persistence and managing your own psychology. Studying when you don't want to, applying to a company in the bay area again after being rejected 40 or 50 times, Working on the same Leetcode problem for the 4th night in a row.

I don't even especially recommend any of this by the way. It's just one way. But it is a way.
Cutting out something you don't actually need rather than inventing lab grown meat is an elegant answer to a complex problem.

It isn't like asking people to be vegan or something extreme like that. Just be aware of what your body actually needs and don't go overboard or be wasteful.

Why would that be some kind of controversial message or idea?
downvotes for noticing the irony, and saying yep it was a joke?
Eh, not really trying to make a point personally. Just want to read books on my reMarkable or whatever I want, really.
