"According to the article, the barriers to cost-efficient manufacturing of lab-grown meat at large scale are fundamental, e.g., impossible to overcome according to the Laws of Thermodynamics and our current understanding of cell biology and chemistry."

I came away with the opposite understanding. I don't understand why lower cost lab grown meat would be fundamentally impossible. At its theoretical best, lab grown meat takes the existing non-lab grown situation and improves on it in two very important ways - less energy wasted growing non-meat, and less land required due to vertical farming capabilities. Rather, the issues I saw that the article talks about, such as issues maintaining sterile environments, aren't things that are theoretical limits, but are practical problems that might or might not have an eventual answer.

I've found a few years ago some people were making more than me at generally lower skill and abilities. So I started giving my other colleagues my past pay history and raise %s and it turns out they were getting significantly less pay. I'm glad for them to be brought up so that my party doesn't seem drastically higher as well when I all for mine.

I've changed job positions and let them know my previous pay since they are in that role now. Sadly I think their pay is generally smaller since I negotiate until I embarrass myself and my friends are women and I understand that the negotiations are less aggressive from that population in general.

I made 12% more than them at the same job role.

And at my current I'm also about that much higher than the bottom paid (a guy internal promotion).

I asked for 12% raise citing my usefulness to the team as a whole. Still waiting on the results of that. It seems I negotiate in a very clumsy manner but still getting better results than those I know about.

Possibly those that get paid less share their pay, but those that get paid more do not?
I think that's true. The biggest consumers of meat are not the USA but Brazil.
This just goes to show that you can't trust any messaging app or phone to be "secure".

Imagine if there was a small handheld device that you could type messages into (along with a secret phrase or a private key), and it would spit out a string of encrypted text that could be entered into ANY messaging app (or even published publicly on a billboard if you wanted). You could even encode the encrypted text as a scannable QR code if you wanted.

On the receiving side of things, the decrypter device could have a camera that could read QR codes (or maybe OCR an encrypted string of text). The most basic solution would be to type the entire encrypted string of text into the box and then enter the secret pass phrase or key to decrypt it.

The point, however, is that the encryption and decryption HAVE to be done on a separate hardware device that is air-gapped and does NOT have internet access in any way.
The tradeoff seems to be that

* Bluetooth offers limited range and uses more battery, and is usually interrupted if someone calls, but supports any application that can play sound.

* Spotify Connect is its own Spotify client and downloads the audio stream from Spotify which allows freedom to roam. But the implementation is indeed limited to Spotify and doesn't support niceties like volume normalization or nerdy details like crossfade (and perhaps not gapless playback)
If I had known about their filter list, I would've done exactly that. But their implication that everything was backed up from the beginning by default is what got me.

ISO files are included in that filter list, among other files like VMs and such. Seems like a massive exclusion net to cast when claiming everything is backed up.
Exactly. Web assembly doesn't support basic features like tail calls (neither does java), which are vital for whole classes of languages. This is where silicon excels... at letting you actually implement languages in the best way, instead of forcing you to think in particular paradigms. I believe .NET/CLR supports tail call optimization (I think it must for F#).
> If cultured protein is going to be even 10 percent of the world’s meat supply by 2030

Why do we need protein from meat? The money to engineer cultivated protein could be directed to educating simple americans on the fact that they're consuming way too much protein already. Most americans consume twice the daily protein they need.[1][2]

> 1. Was the laptop/information stolen, and then "laundered" through the repair shop.

The problem is that this standard is not consistently applied. If the US intelligence apparatus launders some information through "anonymous officials", they are taken at their word and their statement is parroted. Only when the Bad Guys reveal some bit of information do we become more concerned with where the information came from, than whether it's true.
TIL! In that case, x86 builds are probably more common than I assumed.
Even if that was completely correct it wouldn't apply to their paid services like Workspace, Google Fi, YouTube Premium, etc that also have no customer service whatsoever.

If you’re going to do a side thing, make it about learning and helping someone with fewer resources.

I used to help a local outdoors club with some PHP and LAMP stack dev for pittance an hour, but it was fun, I didn’t use any of this tech in my day job, and I felt I was helping something I really cared about. In the end too it broadened my dev problem solving skills.
Apple would at least get some goodwill of the FOSS community if they offered free publishing when an app is linked to an open-source code repository.

> That's only a portion of it, though. That area could be used for something other than agriculture,

Like what? What do you propose as a better use of the high plains? (Let’s define this as land west of 100 degree W to Rocky Mountains) There are no natural resources, no large cities, lack of infrastructure, etc. Other than wind farms, what can you do with grasslands that receive less than 10” of rain a year that sits on top of a rapidly depleting aquifer?
Same thing here. I'm on the iPhone 8 with a 83% battery capacity, and the upgrade would be big as you say.
There's really no difference between the state providing a blacklist, and the state inspiring enough terror that blacklists are compiled. Actually, there is - the latter is far scarier.
In my personal experience NetApp support was excellent, but most of their customers were at least sane, computer literate, and able to communicate coherently. That situation does not obtain with the masses of Google users.
No need to go on a limb, .dmg files are usually software installers. But if I'm paying for a backup service that claims to back everything up, I want them to do exactly that, regardless of whether it can be re-downloaded or not (which takes additional time, not to mention figuring out what was missing from the supposed "everything" backup in the first place).
Now if they'd just stop the spam and get rid of the phone numbers! There is ZERO good reason to require a phone number in 2021 nor to access my contact list of which the majority fo the people I talk do I don't have their number.
Often people put quotes (or even air-quotes) around things to imply it's sarcasm or that it's only that thing if you can suspend disbelief, so I don't think there's any disagreement there.

Additionally, making them accountable for these mistakes is a way to actually have them resolve them, so honest or not, it's likely to stop of decrease in occurrence then.

Bank websites in some (developed, European) countries restrict you to 6-8 digit passwords (not alphanumeric), and don't have a 2FA option like Facebook or Google do. It's a massive joke.
It was a question. My main disagreement is not the outcome but rather that there was never a real cost breakdown of lab vs natural. Personally I found the article's structure makes it a bit hard to follow and even more difficult to formulate a good response.

However the reports it mentions are pretty good:

I'd love to see those 3.
But why is it bad to react to a headline? It offered something interesting to consider.
Good points. Personally I'm looking into moving to Linux for most of my personal and work computing for these reasons:

- Scanning each binary on macOS just makes working on the terminal -- and just being a dev in general! -- have much more friction that it needs to. I don't care if it's about my security. While my iMac Pro is "sleeping" the logs show it's actually waking up each 2 to 5 minutes; surely they can passively scan some binaries then and leave me alone after that! The whole process just becomes sluggish. I've lately worked on a Linux laptop with a Ryzen 5500U CPU which is nowhere near the power of my iMac Pro's CPU and it was still times faster for most of my development workflow. (Obviously you can't magically make Rust compilation faster on a mobile CPU but literally everything else was faster.)

- Control over photos and music. Yeah, Apple got a bit too creepy for me there. I have a ton of photos, memes, erotic photography, nature walpapers etc. and the Photos app can be much better. But alas, it isn't. At one point I'll just install PhotoSync and start backing up all my iCloud photos to my NAS. And then install a better gallery on my phone and laptop and just be done with it. Same for music. The whole thing is just tailored towards the copyright industry. One day I'll not be able to play whatever music I actually pay sub for and that's when I'll leave, in the meantime I am backing up any and all photos and music I have.

- I'll agree with OP that with time most of Apple's software became less featureful though but still, alternatives to a lot of software do exist. One thing I gradually got tired of is having to pony up cash for literally everything. Even good music players cost money.

Bluetooth is inherently lossy/compressed, whereas Spotify Connect directly streams 320kbps to the client device. I’m not sure how much that advantage is negated on a device with such a cheap DAC, but cheap DACs can be good. Bluetooth audio is always going to have some quality compromises, and it looks like this device is intended for a component stereo setup where quality matters.

Worth noting streaming Spotify over Chromecast (like on a chromecast audio) is oddly enough limited to 256 kbps AAC. The TV chromecast devices support Spotify Connect, I guess because they boot the full app GUI.
Sure, but I'm talking about safety. And safety is also an important issue. And one that's at least as much subject to regulation. And regulating this infringement on driving safety would also help with the unfairness, even if it doesn't address it directly.

Of course the unfairness is also a valid concern, and I'd love to see them both addressed.
Can't speak to aspirin specifically, but I think generically you're pushing a false assumption. It is not easy for the rest of the health industry to provide stable pricing of drugs, especially for the types of rarer drugs that are administered in inpatient care settings. Go click around GoodRx drug prices and tell me how stable even generic drug prices are. There's a post here on HackerNews every 6 months about the outrageous cost of insulin, one of the most commonly prescribed and readily available pharmaceuticals (within a lot of variation depending on patient needs).

It's complicated. You're oversimplifying it.
I agree that enterprise-level collusion has locked you and many others into proprietary platforms. Again, I advocate using whatever tools work best for you, if your priority is not control over your tools. Every year the FOSS ecosystems get more usable for more purposes, but if your job tells you you have to use a particular tool, then you don't really have much of a choice, as you say.
Exactly. Putting folks on Mars is very difficult too, yet we’re still working on it.
In trading firm you can measure value by how much money a trader makes for the company, people can almost guess your salary, or at least your bonuses based on this data, so exposing it is not such a big deal. But how do you measure software developers? it is not that simple and exposing salaries can create a lot of jealousy between people because there is no clear criteria.
For some reason, it seems like you didn't read my comments. I'm not writing a WASM interpreter or JIT compiler... that would be quite straightforward. I'm attempting to implement a compiler backend for an existing programming language so that it can target WebAssembly. Since this is a functional language, it doesn't do things like have 'structured conditionals' (i.e., prodecural-like If/For/While statements and loops). Instead, it has recursion, which WebAssembly is terrible at. Not that other VMs are much better. You can make a claim this is about performance, but not in good faith. JMP is one instruction on X86_64 and B and friends on ARM are similar.

All these VMs and runtimes want to force you into particular ways of thinking about programming. This is terrible for the community. You can say Web Assembly is meant to be an open standard and you can sing that till the cows come home, but leaving out basic support for things like TCO, direct jumps, etc that are vital for compiling any non-procedural language, is just inexcusable at this point.
My takeaway from Web3 so far has been a mixed bag. On the one hand, having a wallet means you already have a pseudonymous account with payments for every dApp that has ever and will ever exist, and conversely the developers of said app reap the benefits of that fact for basically free. But this dynamic opens a whole can of worms in terms of risk.
Hmm, Isn't this moving the overton window? Should we accept that they were viewing his data in the first place?
Why the heck isn't there just an official Android container and/or a LineageOS container?

It's not a certified device, so.

There are a number of ways to build "multi-arch docker images" e.g. for both x86 and ARM: OCI, docker build, podman build, buildx, buildah.

Containers are testable.

Here's this re: whether the official OpenWRT container should run /sbin/init in order to run procd, ubusd,: https://github.com/docker-library/official-images/pull/7975#...

AFAIU, from a termux issue thread re: repackaging everything individually, latest Android requires binaries to be installed from APKs to get the SELinux context label necessary to run?

It does. Customers pay money. He is not a customer.
But this all started over a year ago when he wasn't supposed to have been in power yet, why was nothing done in that time? Why always blame a specific party if neither one does any action to effect change?

The NHS/UK isn't cheaper (just) because of insurance related dead weight though- they also just pay everyone less.

The US Government estiamtes the total adminstration and health insurance expenditure cost $288B in 2019. Total health consumption was $3.69T. Thats about 7.5% of total health spending. Even if you assume a 2 or 3x multiplier to the effect of eliminating insurance companies you STILL don't get US healthcare spending on a GDP basis in line with international norms.

Insurance companies are awful, but they alone are not the cause of American's health care spening problems.
This list really goes against my lived experience - I don’t understand how one can consider Beijing, Shanghai, Tokyo, nor Singapore more expensive than New York or San Francisco - it’s crazy in this list those ones haven’t even cracked the top 10.

I think it’s referring to a really specific kind of lifestyle - you’re trying to live in a luxury American-sized home in the exact center of a central business district, and eat nothing but fois gras and steaks all day everyday. Maybe then Shanghai or even Tokyo is imaginably more expensive than NYC, but what I’ve found is that you can still get meals under $1-2 in Shanghai and apartments for less than $400/mo in Tokyo - really doubt you can pull that off in SF.
Goats are amazing animals! :D
The sweet spots for me are:

1. It is much easier to trace things through the entire Phoenix stack than it is in Rails. It is also much easier to add things to the Phoenix stack using plugs.

2. Elixir is concurrent, whereas Ruby is not, so when performing long-running processes, you can just do them in Elixir/Phoenix without having to rely on workarounds like Sidekiq, Resque, RabbitMQ, etc.

3. Writing multi-threaded applications is much easier in Elixir than many (if not all) OO languages.

4. Pattern-matching for variables and functions, and binary pattern-matching for parsing text.

5. Mix.

6. BEAM, OTP, and supervision trees.
I understand that. I'm not saying WASM isn't of interest. On the contrary, since I'm currently implementing language support for WASM, I'd say it's very important.

What I am saying is that it is Java VM 2.0. The java ISA was perfectly fine. People knew how it worked, there was lots of tooling, etc. Instead of building off that, they made something new... just because. WASM is technically inferior to java, and is based upon the same basic principles. It's just like java bytecode in the 90s. It's not even done yet. This is a terrible mess.
A pedantic point: this is not a modern typewriter. This is a modern word processor.

This is somewhat tangential.
My brother had brain surgery at a young age, and it severely effected his communication negatively. He had ten years of speech therapy, and through all of that he was writing things in word processors (maybe 2 hours every few days). If it was directed at you he would print it out and post it somewhere you would see it.
He even wrote "Rules for Chipmunks", and posted it at chipmunk eye level; when we started to have chipmunks coming into the house one year.

>Basically at scale is a engineered bioreactor cheaper than the natural blood & bones bioreactor?

A cow walks around and eats grass by itself. A bioreactor needs constant monitoring by a worker.

If each and every beef cow was hand-raised by a single human, regular beef would be $100/kg too.
Honestly don't understand why anyone would use their services unless they had to.
Similar lists existed within Google for their ("on hold" last I heard) project Dragonfly [0]. I saw a bunch of banned terms like these in the Dragonfly repo before they hid it from regular employees. It was a very long list. On it were also the names of specific activists and human rights lawyers, including some who'd been disappeared [1] or forcibly confined to mental institutions [2].

My impression is that Sundar was all-in on Dragonfly, and he only rolled it back because of tremendous external and internal pressure. As that pressure abates over time, expect Dragonfly to return. Word of warning for those who trust Google as a defender of digital privacy and human rights.

I watched most of it, the coroner report and testimony alone should have been sufficient as reasonable doubt, not to mention police training materials and witness testimony which showed Chauvin did exactly as instructed per standard procedure, not to mention aggressive crowd including a former MMA fighter threatening the officers and diverting their attention during arrest, not to mention Floyd's prior history of high BP and heart problems, and earlier arrest where he ended up in hospital under the same circumstances, not to mention the lethal dose of fentanyl combined with meth in his system, not to mention prosecution not able to procure any evidence of Floyd dying from neck restraint besides speculation and emotional speeches.

Chauvin's lawyer did a decent job, but it was a travesty of justice with politicians demanding "the right verdict" or else cities will burn and aggressive mobs outside intimidating the jury, not to mention an actual BLM activist on the jury. It was a 'banana republic' style trial.
Still can't believe they stopped manufacturing these. Such a perfect and cheap solution to the same problem as OP: streaming audio over WiFi to a "dumb" speaker.

If a cattle farm isn't built in Manhattan, a thousand other people will be lining up to turn it into office, residential, or retail space.

If a cattle farm isn't built in Erath County Texas, that land is going to sit there doing nothing. It has no other productive use case.

The point of this is that pointing out how much land beef production uses isn't as insightful as it may at first seem, because that land isn't being taken from another economic activity.
