> Both are ultra processed foods, and their health and environmental implications are unclear.

I think people may be confused about who Impossible and Beyond are marketing to. They are not marketing to people who don't want to eat a cheeseburger because it's too processed or even because it's meat. They are marketing to people who primarily want something that tastes good - not identical to meat, but delicious - and would secondarily prefer non-meat if it is available for equivalent taste. Whether something is "processed" or not doesn't come into it. Not everyone cares about how healthy or natural a food is.

You can tell this because their marketing doesn't in any way promote their food as being particularly "natural" aside from being made from plants. It's all focused on how good it tastes and looks. On their homepage (https://impossiblefoods.com/ as of this writing), Impossible Foods' first three pitches for their product are:

1) It tastes like meat and is delicious.
2) It's better for the environment.
3) It's better for the environment.

You say their environmental impact is unclear - I don't think that's true. It is extremely difficult for even the most intensive plant-based food processes to come close to the environmental impact of meat. Even almond milk, for example, which is an environmental disaster due to its water use, is immensely better than animal milk.[0] Even if Impossible were only half as good for the environment as meat, it would still be enormously beneficial to consume Impossible preferentially, and I suspect it is much better than that.

> Are these really going to replace traditional meat products? In my mind, no.

They certainly won't replace things like whole-muscle cuts of meat. But as costs for meat rise, I could see them edging out the ground meats they intend to replace in a lot of areas. I could also see them being in an ideal position to design and produce non-animal or lab-grown cuts of meat for consumption. There are already some companies doing this: https://kuleana.co/ for example. If I were an investor, that's the bet I'd be making.

I wouldn't be surprised if the variant is already global. There is a known case in Belgium from November 11th. Travel restrictions are mainly political at this point.
Sure you can jack up a $5 bottle to $15 perhaps, but that's nothing like the $100 a proprietary-pill-gravy-train that the big, rich corps are looking for. And million dollar campaigns are spent on.

Have you considered the possibility that facebook might just not be that good at targeting?
The problem is that the people that are a) evil enough and b) technical enough to understand this will sell COVID passes for hundreds of dollars each.

Here in the NL there have been tons of people that sold COVID passes, some working at vaccination places, others working at testing places. Instead of hacking anything, they've just been committing regular fraud. The street value of these passes seems to be round €300 to €500. The government has been blacklisting these passes ever since they were first spotted, leaving many of their "customers" angry now that they can no longer fraud their way through the necessary checks.

The problem is not so much a technical one, as modern crypto is quite unbreakable. The pass in the article is based on RSA-512, which has been proven to be breakable all the way back in 1999. With elliptic curve cryptography the system can still remain unbreakable even with shorter keys that can fit into a small QR code, though space is rarely a problem with these codes anyway.
Heh, most people in the US don’t know about them and when you ask an HVAC contract about them they will give this argument about how nobody likes them because they don’t spew out hot heat and if they install one then the consumer will say they don’t work because they expect hot air and even if they do end up installing them they will insist on also installing a gas furnace and set the cut off to 35-40 degrees because they haven’t kept up with the technology and don’t realize that modern heat pumps can work well below zero F and even if it goes below that temp for a couple hours a year it doesn’t mean you will freeze.
Well, in this case rant was not published by maintainer.
Quite the opposite, at least for mine: it was known that some companies were risky but that was why they referred to people pushing investment scams as conmen and supported regulation. Solid stocks and their dividends were a key part of a lot retirements, even if they couldn’t afford that many shares.
Foals is probably a red herring. But what do farmers do about gophers, deer and wild pigs?
On the back-end it's likely linked to FB data though... A whole lot of sites began to lag when facebooks DNS went offline earlier this year and that was quite telling. That data on us flows all the way across the net.

Even though there are good reasons for it to be the case, I do agree with the OP that it undermines the trust in them.

Politics should not override science IMO.
(un?)fortunately quantum entanglement cannot be used to send information any faster than classical communications. Entanglement is a good way to share bits for encrypting secrets, but you still need to be send entangled photons over a <c channel like a fiber optic or microwave cable.

Do you go to extreme efforts, enduring public lambasting simply in order to get returns on 0.002% of your portfolio? When you've already got so much money you can't give it away fast enough?

I think it takes some exceptionally motivated reasoning to believe that Mr. Gates is doing this because he only wants money.
Because it hides the true price of things. It makes it easier to consume blindly with no regard to the actual cost.

In a normal market, I suspect many of these would not be supported, or would at least have to take a big discount to PE. But we are in the era when money pours into doge coin. You can’t conclude anything in such an environment.

Point 7 simply means that PL/I is very weakly typed. However, weak typing seems to now be unused in all modern languages; strong typing seems to be the current norm. (Not to be confused with static/dynamic typing, which is orthogonal.)
...which you've provided exactly zero evidence for. Please provide concrete evidence of propaganda that's equal in magnitude to the things described above.

Otherwise, yes, it rather does imply, because there are very few things similar to the CCP's social credit system that have the same effect, and even fewer that could be deployed in the US without immediately being noticed.

> The reason for representing Health Cards using Numeric Mode QRs instead of Binary Mode (Latin-1) QRs is information density: with Numeric Mode, 20% more data can fit in a given QR, vs Binary Mode. This is because the JWS character set conveys only log_2(65) bits per character (~6 bits); binary encoding requires log_2(256) bits per character (8 bits), which means ~2 wasted bits per character

Maybe bad targeting or perhaps brand recognition. The conversion model works. It is about convincing as many individuals this is a reputable company so that when the person signing the check asks around nobody bats an eye.
Japanese houses were mostly lit by fish oil lamps. Cats love to lap the oil, and at night, in the glowing lamplight, they cast huge shadows on the walls, seemingly morphing into massive creatures standing on their hind legs as they stretched.

I like how the article takes a stab at explaining the supernatural perceptions in reasonable, logical terms. They aren't framed as just stupid superstitions.
>Axie is very different, the price of the token only rise because of investors (here players)

There are players and investors who actually only buy the token and don't play the game. These are different people. Here the "external" source of money for players would be the investors who don't play the game and for investors it would be players playing the game because they think it's fun. In Axie's case that's probably a minority of people, but that's obviously not the case for most games, you only need to look at games like Genshin Impact to see that people are willing to spend tons of money on good games just because they want to spend money on it.

So yes, in this particular case it's a bad business, and I agree that the same is true for most other crypto games right now, but there's zero reason for it to remain the case in the future. Nothing about the setup fundamentally prevents people from spending real money on real games, and from the token's value to increase as a result, like any normal company.

That’s an interesting idea, essentially that media teaches us to aspire to goods we can’t afford, thus as a result we buy knock offs instead of humble yet quality.

Min-max’ing refers to an idea that instead of having evenly OK kitchenware (for example) you pinch pennies on the flatware and dishes and so forth so you can buy & enjoy an exotic Damascus steel knife, or fine teak cutting board. It actually dovetails quite well with your idea about being taught to aspire to things we can’t really afford.
I had no idea about that but his responses to the issues and his blog post are pretty polite and reasonable IMO.

Though like I said I don't agree and I think the devs merging it had justified concerns.

So your 4 potential wireline providers are XFinity(Comcast), AT&T, Spectrum(Charter)and Atlantic(Cogeco).

Some things I'd try. I'd ask all 4 ISPs to send someone to do an on-site review for service availability because serviceability addresses can be wrong.

If that doesn't help, there is a good chance one/all of those providers have received government funds in the past or near future [1] for deployment. They may be willing to deploy to this neighborhood but need a nudge to do so. I don't specifically know how to do that but the local public service commission might.

Also worth contacting are the FCC and the Department of Commerce’s National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NIST). The latter is overseeing the fund disbursal from the recently passed broadband infrastructure program. They should have a broad understanding how those dollars become deployments. More importantly, they may have sway with the ISPs or know who does.

I get that calling the feds might seem like a hail Mary, but I've had good experience (and education) from reaching out to the feds directly.

Elected representatives are another worthwhile consideration.

Poverty spec is an actual term that gets used and wasn't invented by the OP. Poverty spec generally refers to purchasing an expensive item, such as a high-end car, then choosing the lowest-cost, entry-level options. It doesn't normally mean just purchasing an inexpensive computer.
Ah, I think I see the misunderstanding now. I argued that cryptocurrency is only speculative, and hence unlike a currency which has other uses. I did not argue the inverse (that currency only has other uses, and is not speculative).

I like to avoid TeamViewer/AnyDesk/etc... because the GUI makes it too easy for folk to get scammed (watching Kitboga all these years makes me want to avoid them like the plague).
Those limitations are a little annoying but I'm not sure how they're preventing you from doing what you want to do, and having top-level statics wouldn't limit someone from just sneaking global state in there either.
> The respiratory component for Covid-19 is being over hyped. The evidence seems to suggest blood clots and other impacts on the circulatory system...

These happen as a result of the respiratory infection getting out of control however. So, preventing that is an understandable priority. Aspirin can help prevent blood-clots when needed.

There are 1000s of these pictures.

The entire world's IT infrastructure has been held together with spaghetti-noodle-cabling and bodged patches for over three decades now. I'm even guilty of it. Most IT guys are guilty of it.

Don't even get me started talking about how bodged together corporate codebases are. Banks are perhaps the worst offenders. Old hardware running with bandaids and bubblegum. Software that more than 5 different teams have had their fingers in, mucking about, and some codebases have orders of magnitude more than that.

Anyone that didn't know this, doesn't pay attention, or just started internetting.
Nothing but not really a substitute for looking at the page.
I don't understand the definition of local testability. Could someone explain? Like say I send you 1 million bits of information, and the 5th one is corrupted. The proposition is you can somehow figure this out by examining only a small number of bits? How in the world is that possible? You have no idea which bit might be corrupted a priori, so wouldn't you have to at least read all of them once?
Right, but for most of that stuff I can just write a one-off query, munge it into the ORM's objects and pass that off to my view for rendering. But probably 80% of my queries are "get this object by ID" or "get these objects and some related ones by a simple condition" or maybe a slightly complex condition. In these cases an ORM works wonders and has almost zero downsides

I, on the contrary, clicked every relevant ad on facebook.
Now they learned my preferences and show me mostly ads about vintage 8-bit computers and tracker music software and groups.

And no ads about viagra or yoga pants.

I'd say that FB ads generally can target much better than general web ads because they can track and profile you precisely, e.g. from your posts, comments, and other interactions. But at least you sign up for that when you agree with FB's EULA when creating an account. General web ads are worst: they try badly to track you to become more targeted, but can't get targeted enough to stop being annoyingly off the mark even if they wanted.
Strikes me as unnecessarily early to make such a claim.
I gotta say, COVID releases new features faster than a lot of teams do.
Yeah it’s trivial, the comorbidities are well known for Covid as well as their incidence per capita. So is the chance of having a heart attack whilst being a footballer or if we want to get more general having a heart attack below the age of 40.

There are far more people with diabetes per capita alone unless you think there is a rash of undiagnosed heart attacks.

For my singular experience I’m a point of interest to every medical professional I meet going through the process of recovery because normal heart attack patients are either old or if they’re my age or younger generally have a genetic condition. That’s how unusual it is.
The EU's Digital Green Certificate [1] uses Base45, which I think they basically invented. They do this because "even in Byte mode a typical QR-code reader tries to interpret a byte sequence as a UTF-8 or ISO/IEC 8859-1 encoded text."[2]
They use the 45 chars allowed by the alphanumeric-mode IIRC.

That paper is purely based on a model with [optimistic] assumed effectiveness and transmission parameters. It does not consider any actual infection statistics to come to its conclusion.

I'd love to see a paper explaining why some two months ago cases were already at or approaching record highs in countries with 70-90% vaccination rates, like UK, Israel, multiple EU nations...Gibraltar is particularly interesting because it has a nearly 100% vaccination rate, yet the case rate continues to climb unabated. [0]

People are treating these vaccines as though they were sacrosanct and unquestionable. Meanwhile the pandemic continues nearly unabated and no, this is not a "pandemic among the vaccinated", despite the fervor with which certain interests have attempted to paint such a picture. Public UK data suggests that vaccinated individuals may actually be more likely to be infected some months after their second doses. But no one is talking about that...

This is untrue, and the historic record of this is untrue, put into records long after FDR left the office.

While FDR himself was a big proponent of US joining the League of Nations, he himself was fully conscious that him inviting Stalin into the UN would make it pointless, and useless. His fear was exactly that UN will not be toothless, and US position as the biggest post-war power will be hampered by an international body, or it being dragged into conflicts by Europeans, so Stalin was his way to put a deadweight on UN's neck from the beginning.

UN was an organisation which even originally rejected many quite decent democratic nations for minor flaws, and principally, opposition from major powers. Heck, even Germany was only allowed to join in seventies. So, no illusions about that.

Maybe, his another concern was that he would've never be allowed to join the UN by the congress, unless he were to provide the republicans with assurance that the body is useless. That's my own theory I developed when reading on FDR in high school.
And Google requiring (costly and/or time consuming) SSL certs to be applied on all sites to "ensure security" was also a big industry money making nightmare for many independent (non-income-driven) sites that is still playing out badly, and not providing much more security.

Two factor authentication and account verification is really an elaborate corporate sham to get people's phone numbers and PII for free. It doesn't do anything new or good for consumers in terms of security over time. There, I said it.

I prefer the old Internet. All these new fangled "fixes" are only makin it worse, more expensive, and overly complicated. :/

It's very close to this, in C#-ish pseudocode, and barring errors introduced by my fried Friday brain. The duplicate invoice lookup isn't a linear search but I wanted to keep it simple. In reality order items have various sub-items, but lets ignore those.

It's not super elegant, but in my mind it's straight forward and should be easy for my colleagues to jump in and understand. Though I'd be delighted to be proved wrong.

var dstOrder = new Order();
var invoiceMap = new Dictionary<Invoice,Invoice>();

for srcOrder in SrcOrders do
{
for srcInvoice in srcOrder.Invoices do
{
// compares using invoice number and currency
var dstInvoice = dstOrder.Invoices.Find(srcInvoice);

if (dstInvoice == null) {
dstInvoice = dstOrder.AppendInvoice();
dstInvoice.CopyFrom(srcInvoice);
invoiceMap[srcInvoice] = dstInvoice;
}
else
{
dstInvoice.Amount += srcInvoice.Amount;
}
}

for srcItem in srcOrder.Items do
{
var dstItem = dstOrder.AppendItem();
dstItem.CopyFrom(srcItem);
// map old invoice reference to new (possibly consolidated) invoice
dstItem.Invoice = invoiceMap[dstItem.Invoice];
}
}

dstOrder.Save();

return dstOrder;
