Well meat profits most from subsedies since it is the last in the chain.
I think it is not as simple, we would throw a lot more food away without our animals.
Sure there is room to optimize and improvement. The city of Wien has an overproduction of fresh baking good that exceeds three times the needed amout.
It is then reprocessed to animal food instead of being thrown away, which is a good thing but keeps prices down.

So not as simple as one would think...
Although I wasn't specifically thinking of those, catalysts are a great example of why I am somewhat sceptical of anyone who says "this thing is theoretically impossible" unless they actually prove it.

However, for the specific, fuel cells have a lot of waste heat. And even if they didn't, what you're describing in this situation would cause a mixture of ohmic heating and electrolysis in the water while it's being replicated — you need to get the energy out without the last 10% flash-boiling your tea into steam (or even ice cube or icecream sandwich or whatever).

To rephrase what I said before, it might not be impossible, but AFAIK nobody has a solution yet.
Maybe I'm an outlier but the e-mail-adress I use for online payments or shops for over 10 years now has not been pwned. Maybe because I don't use this email for other sites where no money is involved or for social media. But I think hibp is not a great bot indicator.

At a basic level, this site lets registered users submit links that can be viewed and voted on by other users. Submissions are ranked using a combination of votes and age. There are also additional aspects to the site, such as special job posts for Y Combinator companies. It was intended to be about tech and startup news, and some of that does appear here, but if everyone votes up non-tech submissions, those are generally what will appear on the front page. This may vary over time depending on the possibly arbitrary, possibly unstated whims of moderators.

Why you lack confidence merging dbt data model PRs
Yes, I agree. I'm not vegetarian but I don't like meat patties so I used to buy the vegetarian option, which was like mashed up actual veg. Always pretty good I thought. Now these meat alternatives have actually ruined my social burger eating because I don't like anything on the menu. Lucky for me I don't really have that kind of social life anymore.
I am doubtful about the person-years of effort. It's an indirection.
Stop calling it "meat", please. It's not. Meat grows on animal skeletons.

Use terms like "reprocessed plant sludge", soysage, or shitpatty.
Yup - I go back to my native London from eastern Europe once a year, and it's frustrating not to have access to an oven or hob, when I am suddenly surrounded by so much vegan choice (compared to Bucharest, which is still way better than the rest of Romania in this regard).
Aldi sells minced beef at literally half the price of the veggie burgers you linked to: https://groceries.aldi.co.uk/en-GB/p-ashfields-25-fat-britis...
What looks reasonable to you might not look reasonable to someone else, like someone that strives to avoid seed oils and other industrial products and live above 90 years of age.
I eat meat, and am also turned off by these products. They are a facsimile that just doesn't sit well.

However, I would eat this if it was blended/bulked out a real meat product. Like a burger that was 50% "real" beef and 50% "fake" beef.

I think this has the big opportunity as a filler to reduce the amount of meat eaten as a whole. I don't understand who the current consumer target is supposed to be, if not meat eaters who should eat less meat (for any reason; health/environment/economoy/etc.)

It just comes down to how people define “10x programmer”. Is it someone who is 10x more productive than the average programmer? Yeah this definitely exists. Is it somenone who will always be 10x more productive than the average in any given team, domain or codebase, from day 1? Of course not.

Without defining the term more precisely, people can discuss this forever without getting anywhere.

Given the choice between non-processed food (meat) and ultra—high-processed food (fake meat), the former is the much healthier option.
> Meat was a luxury product not eaten every day for most of history

And nobody want's to return to those dark ages.

This devil's alliance between veganism and environmentalism is what put me off environmentalism. Climate change can be softened by banning airplanes, air conditioning, and other things we don't need, not by banning food.
Fake meat isn't just inferior to real meat. It's inferior to just plain old vegetables.

It's a crazy product designed for a society with weird eating habits.

They're not trying to cook the best vegetable dishes. They're not trying to cook dishes that use less meat. They're not trying to expand your palettes and reintroducing liver, sweetbreads or other weird cuts.

All these "green" products convince you to not do the most important things: REDUCE and REUSE.

Which is a bit ironic considering that Slashdot arguably had a lot more features. But I appreciate HN's simplicity. I feel like we've come full circle.
I like this post. When you frequent a site like HN, it's easy to think that everyone else in the industry drops in or at least knows about it, but I frequently encounter fellow geeks who don't. I find that almost as exciting an opportunity as crab_swarm seems to – if crab_swarm has just found HN, there are probably all sorts of online fora that I'd enjoy left for me to yet discover.

This. I'm not sure who expected that some "fake" meat came along and somehow everyone switched to it.

We're used to eating meat and most have been eating it their entire lives. It's unrealistic to think that most would switch in a few years.

Swapping to fake meats, even meat grown in a lab will probably takes decades at the minimum.

Maybe this is not relevant for all industries, but in our experience in manufacturing it is for most companies an immediate no-go. Because these companies are not interested in using the open-source variant, they want to partner up with the company behind it.

I do the same for a several other websites. Sure, Google can always track you somehow, like IP address, but it's not as easy to track you around the Internet when you always use a fresh new session on each tab.
7. Using this can be pretty dangerous. What if a person is very fair and honest about everything with the intend to screw you over big time later? And on the other hand if a person does some silly cheating in a friendly game and get caught right away, how dangerous can they really be for big stuff? There will probably be a lot if signs before that happens.

>> The ethos of HN is generally to explore the depths of an issue in favor of making sweeping generalizations.

Gosh, talk about sweeping generalisations. I mean, come on, it's not like HN users are some cohort of highly educated philosphers or mathematicians, the majority here spend most of their day battling the newest javascript framework and probably come to HN just to clear their mind of the impossible dreariness of modern-day web programming. Our dang wants this place to be all about intellectual curiosity but most users just want to vent and argue a bit, right?

I learned a phrase in French recently: "se jeter des fleurs aux fesses". Means throwing flowers onto one's bum. It is very evocative, I believe. Let's refrain from doing that. Think of the flowers.

And most people on HN also probably post on reddit anyway so.
This is plain false. Please find reputable sources.
IMHO, this sort of thing is not really going to be a consumer-driven change.

If the commercials for meat alternatives are compelling enough even in the face of lobbies and subsidies, capitalism will drive the big fast food chains to market these more aggressively at more attractive price points and nudge consumer preferences in that direction.
Beyond meat breakfast sausage is an amazing product. Real sausage is gross to me and beyond tastes better and I never have to worry about eating a ground up bone. I make it on an almost daily basis.

Expensive? Yes. Healthy? Maybe not but can’t be worse than real sausage.

The burgers I’m not crazy about but still eat them from time to time. The chicken is gross.

I was just thinking last night about how the average HN comment is at about written intelligence the level of a very bright college freshman. And how, that being the average, it means that for every 50 comments by people below that grade, there are 50 above.

But the one thing that's amazing here is that the smartest people in the room inevitably turn out to be either 14 year olds who invented a new category of social app, or 74 year olds who worked for NASA... everyone in between being sort of ephemeral.
Quite the opposite. Animal farming is proven to be incredibly inefficient.
HN (Hacker News) is just a web forum. There's a big overlap between HN and some subreddits like reddit.com/r/programming, reddit.com/r/technology and reddit.com/r/science, but HN also features some trivia that's hard to categorize (to replicate that on reddit you would need to subscribe to dozens niche subreddits). Nowadays, the audience mostly browse both reddit and HN, so it's like HN were a secret subreddit that doesn't appear in reddit.com/r/all.

HN is very startup-focused. For example, it contains job listings for startups funded by YCombinator (reddit itself was one of them, many years ago), and a monthly thread with jobs from other companies. It caters to this crowd.

Famously, if you have a problem with Google, it's often easier to post here about it than contact Google's support. That's because Googlers (Google employees) also browse this site. (also Google has no support). In this sense, posting on HN is the nerdier equivalent to @calling companies on Twitter.

Like every social platform, it is the way it is due to network effects: it was first to fill a niche and other platforms didn't capture this mindshare. And unlike most forums, this one is thriving. Why is that, I'm not sure; maybe the style of moderation is part of the reason. But maybe some day reddit will finally eat HN, and, after some years or decades, it will make sense to ask why people are still here!

Strong disagree. If you haven't found an issue with something you love, or a useful aspect in something you hate, you need to experience more. I don't know if I'm senior other than doing this for a while, but I had more opinions when I was starting out than now. I do have more clear opinions now in terms of being able to say why something is important. But a great number of things (statement vague on purpose) people have strong opinions about are not really important.
I think the “quality” actually goes down as you get newer. They are better sealed and insulated yes but…not quality - especially project homes. I own an old house (1890s) and the craftsmanship of the original portion of the house is spectacular. The 80s extensions are horrible though.

In my opinion hn is still here because it is still only text. I was a very happy Reddit user way back when most of the content was links to other sites and/or pure text posts. Today the most visible parts are just images or videos - highly stimulating content that does not encourage calm, thoughtful and nuanced discussions.
HN is still only text based _and_ it is mostly about technical issues. Nothing could be improved here, it's already perfect.
This sort of thing happened a lot with East Germans in the 90s etc. After unification, we of course all became Western Germans, with the right to travel to the US on the visa waiver program. You just had to fill out the I-90 form (and pay 6$ when crossing a land border). It’s a relatively small form, but it does ask whether you’re criminal, used to be a nazi, terrorist… or member of a communist party. Well, most East Germans had to be member of the party, just in order to participate in society, so of course some would later put a mark there when travelling to the US. Border agents would usually just hand them a new form and tell them „you’re supposed to leave this blank“.
The idea that the American beef industry produces anything like the meat primeval hunter gatherers subsisted on is hilarious!

I pay for my email that gives me a lot of aliases and most of them have not been pwned yet. So with his tool I would be flagged as a bot. Honestly, doesn't sound like a great idea to be frank.

There must be large swaths of people that have either been careful or have specific emails that they use for certain purposes that haven't been pwned.

The question, what should happen if I haven't been pwned? Should I not be able to purchase the thing or would I face some annoying captcha?

I’d feel better if the ingredients list wasn’t as long as my arm. I know it’s a bunch of stuff to make it look like meat, but it’s basically cow meat vs a burger containing 50 random items and chemicals that is worse or equal in nutritional content then cow.

Like one impossible vs cow is 14g of fat vs 16g of fat. 370mg of sodium vs 90mg of sodium.

They are not even that much better for you.

Rather than trying to get meat eaters to eat a sort of cow type burger. Just make the regular veggie burgers better and cheaper. If people go to the store and see cow for $15 and a delicious veggie that is not sawdust for $10 some will buy the cheaper. And that’s all it takes is some. Slowly and over generations it could change to be predominantly.

You can’t just shove a fake meat product down a meat lovers throat and call them a bad name if they hate it.

Can confirm, but would add that "more expensive" depends on the exact brand and what kind of meat you compare it to. Even the more expensive faux meat products are often cheaper or very comparable to their organic counterparts.
But if you take for example the supermarket brand version of the products, they are often around 33% cheaper than products from gourmet garden oder beyond.

True. But most people, after they've been grown-ups for a while, figure out that "find the winning lotto ticket on the sidewalk and get rich" is not how life actually works.

The focus is generally tech, software, startups, etc. Mainstream news is mostly off-topic.

It's run by the startup accelerator YCombinator, and it often has launches, job ads etc. from YC companies. YC employs a professional moderator (user name dang), and pays for hosting, so they don't sell ads on it. In "return", YC gains startups from the community here.

Certainly something that Y Combinator doesn't lack is money, but I can't imagine running HN being that expensive. Its traffic is way less than most mainstream sources and there's little to no development.

I'd rather say it managed to become a cultural icon in its niche, hence its continued success.
Never thought about it but you’re spot on. A big roasted field mushroom with a dash of balsamic and perhaps some feta cheese is 1000% tastier than a weird processed vegetable patty.
