How much will it cost in my local grocery store? Will it be cheaper than regular (non-fancy/organic/free range) chicken by the pound and by the calorie?

Does it have all of the same amino acids that chicken has in close enough to the same amounts to completely replace real meat without having to think about changing the rest of your diet to compensate?

Genuinely curious.
I did a video on something like this that got some traction on reddit, where some really nice, knowledgable folks told me about BeOS and the original vision for Longhorn.

What I think both of them are missing is a really simple GUI that makes it so that the average user doesn't need to worry about the metadata layer, which seemed a little too present in those efforts.

I'd posted it on HN at the time, but it never really picked up any steam. Here it is again, if you're interested: https://vimeo.com/39284250
I was a strict vegetarian for 12 years. Now, I eat seafood pretty regularly.

I'm also an active person, which includes a lot of strength training. "Regular" vegetarian foods don't have enough protein. So veggie burgers are a staple of my diet. (Morning Star Farms brand Grillers Prime are the highest calorie, highest protein, best taste burgers I've found.) Also, I gave up meat for ethical reasons - I don't value those ethical reasons as much as I used to, hence the seafood. But I always have liked and missed meat. Even now, although I won't eat one, a cheeseburger would be great.
Hello internet people,

I've known Harry for a long time. Extremely intelligent. Amazing scientist. Hardcore pacifist. We are friends, we have been roommates, we have traveled together in the US, and in Greece. Good times.

He has taken a principled stance against AI, which I disagree with, but it's his decision. And I do respect it.

Every person that takes a principled stand will be called crazy.

This is sad, because if/when the time comes for YOU, dear reader, to take a principled stand on X, be sure they will call you crazy.

Anyways, I think his case isn't well put in the article. He provides a single scenario for a brutal use of AI. I think a better case can be put--scary stuff we are working on; AI is dangerous. I myself worry much more about Orwellianism and "We" and "Brazil" scenarios than the nuke stuff. But I don't think we should stop the work; I think the only route is to try to get more influence in the direction things may go.

I told Harry, back in the day when he wrote this, which is years ago (2006, probably), that I disagreed with his position, the nuke cat is out of the bag, we had a nice discussion about it, and that was that.

Is he crazy? Not by a longshot. I would leave my firstborn with him and travel around the world without a shred of worry.

So would my wife.

But wtf do I know; I'm just another crazy guy on the internet, right?
Very surprised that this didn't launch with a native mobile offering.

Parker asked where the cool stuff on the Web went. It went mobile. People don't want to be chained to their desks to do something cool anymore. It'd be pretty neat to chat with a stranger while strolling the Louvre.
I think it's worth pointing out that we're facing the end of IT as we know it. I think that the only difference the "cloud revolution" will have is meaning that IT staff will work for some cloud provider rather than the companies themselves.
Hm, for mails, I usually use IMAP or an web interface, so it doesn't really matter (for me) how/where there is a local cache in my file system.

For music, pictures and other stuff, I care and I want to be able to use different tools and switch between them on the same set of media. This is why I disabled all the automatic management, e.g. in iTunes or iPhoto and just move the files around manually. It's because only this way, I have a sane and common way to find my media, no matter what application I am using.

The same is for projects (source code, other stuff; I also sometimes switch between different IDEs/editors) and documents.

And then there are contacts and dates. I haven't really found a good way yet to manage them as powerful as I want. Currently I use CalDAV and the like, all what GMail is offering me, so it is serverside just as mail. I guess to get all the possibilities I want, I also would need to have it just in my file system in some way.
Diablo II didn't have any story line worth mentioning. It had some long monologues but that was it.

My coworkers and I have absolutely zero experience with Mongo, Couch, etc. We do have experience with MySQL and Redis (see https://github.com/causes/mock_redis), and I feel "safer" keeping important data in something as mature as MySQL.
You can get around these issues with customization. There may be some other frameworks for setting up a quick design out there that are better suited to you if that's an issue, but I can't really help you there.

If icon size is an issue, you can try using Font Awesome: http://fortawesome.github.com/Font-Awesome/. It uses a font-face for the icons rather than sprites, so you can configure further in css by adjusting size and color, whereas bootstrap's icons are limited to black/white (plus some opacity). A potential gotcha with this approach is you need to be sure you can configure your web server to send the right content-type for the font files you'll send. I had to do some minor nginx configuration to get it right for certain browsers.

There are also pre-customized resources like bootswatch (http://bootswatch.com/) if you want to get a look at some of the possibilities.

And if you clone the bootstrap repo, you can fiddle around with the base LESS stylesheets to make quick changes that affect the full system (lots of stuff in variables.less: https://github.com/twitter/bootstrap/blob/master/less/variab...) of course.

I don't think the issues you listed are particularly significant unless you know that customization is going to be too costly in terms of time.
Live from the scene: my partner just found that she wasn't able to log in to her Gmail account because her password was suddenly invalid. Luckily she was able to reset it quickly and regain control of the account. When she checked the recent activity, though, it showed that all logins in the past 12 hours came from her IP.

Meritocracy is a Bad Word
Silicon Valley has been rocked by the announcement that a female partner at Kleiner Perkins sued the prestigious venture firm for sexual harassment. And while I actually have nothing to say about the case, I do have something to say about the response. Greg McAdoo, a partner at Sequoia Capital, said in response “This business is a meritocracy by and large. I have no doubt that there are pockets of issues, because in humanity you’re going to have that.”
What the "pros" use today is what the "peons", in one form or another, will use tomorrow.

Apple has to run to stand still.

They will continually have to make accomodations to address what the "free" computer users are doing. "Free" meaning not bound by Apple's rules.

If a "pro" can get all his devices, not necessarily all made by Apple, to communicate with each other, and he can move data between them effortlessly, the "peons" are going to take notice.

So what happens if you're working on several different projects, each of which involves working with multiple files of different types (e.g. word processing documents, photos, videos, and spreadsheets)? On a desktop OS you would have a folder for each project, and store all the stuff related to a particular project in the respective folder. I've been doing this for longer than I can remember.

With the current iOS model, content is organised by the app that created it, not by the project it's related to. So if you're doing work for multiple clients, or collaborating on different internal projects, all of your content is spread out between different apps, and there's no easy way to gather it all together for the purposes of sharing, archiving, or backup.

I agree that the way in which the filesystem is exposed to users on desktop OSs can be confusing, but I really think they need to find a way to allow people to organise their files better. Dropbox has essentially become the filesystem for iOS - it's a way around the limitations, and a lot of apps use it.
> And eventually, the file system management is just gonna be an app for pros and consumers aren’t gonna need to use it.

Your post would be true if not for 2 huge problems.

1) You cannot get gear good enough for progressing through Act 2 Inferno from Act 1.

2) Items are actually absurdly cheap. It's the combat that is annoying. Other than the super geared barbs, every character past Act 3 Inferno is a wizard or demon hunter, whose every fight is a 10 minute kite or a reset.

Inferno isn't a challenge, its a stupid chore. Kiting is really easy and boring, and there are certain affix combinations a class will NEVER be able to kill. Kite and reset is how people play inferno. Or corpse hopping to kill the super easy bosses.

Because this is an attack that doesn't go through the official legal process Google is required to abide by. If Google were to find that the US gov was distributing malware to hack into Gmail accounts without Google or users knowing I hope they would react the same way. I doubt we will ever find out for sure though.
Just a FYI, I've been to Auschwitz personally, had two relatives starve to death there as children (much worse than getting gassed if you ask me) under Soviet control in Jan '45 and three survive. TBH the two who are still alive laugh about it and pull their trousers down to Germans regularly in Koln where they live. Getting the trousers up again is quite hard in your late 80's...

What's interesting about this is the overall trend of flexibility in technology. In the few short years I have been alive (~27) the trend during the 90s and early 200s was a preference for infinite customization, and all the confusion that that engenders. In today's world we are now seeing the pendulum swing back in favor of less flexibility with the primary justification being that it makes for a more usable and intuitive interface. I wonder if the trend will reverse course and head back towards customization.

It makes a lot more sense when you observe that veg%ans are not opposed to eating meat but rather to killing animals. Witness PETA's push for lab-grown meat replacements.

That said, many veg%ans (myself included) nevertheless find meat-mimicking products off-putting and prefer lesser-processed protein sources.

I'm kind of sad that this was downvoted. I thought on hacker news downvotes were used for factually incorrect or trolling posts, and I don't think this post is either.

Can I get an explanation for the downvotes at least?
> Think about the Unix way vs Windows. In Windows you have a C drive , D drive etc, all of these are seperate partitions and if you want to locate a file you need to know which partition it is on.

> In Unix you want your personal files , so you go to /home/username or programs are in /usr/bin etc. This is because the filesystem is providing a layer of abstraction over the physical disk.

Hm. I have the opposite feeling. To me unix is using one less layer of abstraction than windows. I know hdd are really devices located in /dev/sd* or /dev/scsi or sthg and these acronyms relate more to the hardware wiring than the piece of metal that is a hdd. blkid, fstab would tell me which devices are mounted or their properties and I can "mount (or switch them on)" them to a "kind of virtual folder". In windows, two partitions located on the same hard drive appears as two distinct hard drives both in explorer and in a prompt and that is an additionnal layer. Specifically, with 2hdd with 4 partitions scattered on each drive you can't tell which partition is on which drive at first glance.

> The Apple answer to this seems to be to simply say no, you have one program for each type of data and that is it.

This boils down to "what is a computer to me? : a machine to run programs that manage data ? data that are supposed to be looked at and data that are supposed to be executed to look at another type of data ? Do I use word to write text or do I write text to a file via word ?"

Personnaly, I believe the "everything is a file" moto to cover a lot of ground and to be a very good description of how computer/mobile works when I have to explain "computer" to beginners. It also frees you from paradigms imposed by the use of one and only one explanation ("yes, you can write text without MSWord and people will be able to read it!")
That is a poor approach that only introduces more unnecessary complexity.

On a side note, this probably explains why Finder is the most retarded file manager ever :-)
Also the while; do; loop could probably be replaced with 'watch'.
point well made. I could've been more elaborative.
I ran this select from information_schema to get the count of a table with aprox 1.2 million rows. each time I run the query, though, the number returned is different. it seems to vary by about 200k either way. does anybody know why that would be happening?

Yeah. I'm trying to cut meat out for health reasons but I have 30 years' meat-eating inertia behind me. And I like the taste/texture of meat.

I will happily buy something that gets me 80-85% of the way there without the health hit or energy expenditures related to real meat. I generally do not eat red meat anyway, so that loosens the constraints a bit - approximating chicken seems like it would be far, far easier to pull off than a rare steak.

Also, it's different on the coasts, but here in the Midwest finding vegetarian meals out is a trial sometimes. A lot of places' "vegetarian" option is pasta with a cream sauce, or something with a ton of cheese. If they can sell this to restaurants to sub in for a chicken breast or the like, that would make it easier to skip meat when eating out.
Again with these titles. speak for yourself.

Games Round-Up
A friend of mine is making a competing game, Path of Exile.

According to some, it's more of a D2 sequel in spirit than D3 is. Darker setting, more emphasis on skill and action play, etc.

The goal when making PoE was to create a game where the item economy was really strong. There is no gold in PoE. Instead you have currency items (see http://www.pathofexile.com/news/dev-diary/).

All of the shops are horrible for trade, offering tiny amounts for even great items. If you really want something good, you have to trade for it directly with other players or find it yourself.

It is a far more addictive game than either D2 or D3 because a greater range of interesting, random things happen.

PoE also has some great mechanics, for instance flasks (health / mana) are items that last for a long time - they use charges when you drink them and recharge as you fight. They can be magical and unique.

Also, the skill tree offers a far greater range of choice.

Definitely worth checking out.
What if apple built mac os version for pc
i always thought in that.
there are alot of people use windows because they don't have enough money to buy imac for example
so if apple made mac os for pc they will use it, and this will change two things -
companies will find that most of people use mac os so they will use mac os and apple products in the company, and
software companies will focus on building software to mac os

what do you think?
I think the main problem is their flawed auction house design.

Prices for weapons, armor, and gems will keep dropping to lower and lower prices as long as you aren't in the first wave of players. There's nothing to stop that price drop since demand for items will decrease over time AND supply will increase.

An example of the bad design is in the fact that constructing a gem in the game (which takes mutiple lower quality gems you have to find) costs more money than to just buy it from another player. And it will only get cheaper.
The biggest problem with Tasker/Locale is that they're missing all the verbs you want and have really tragic consequences for performance and battery life.

onX claims to offer verbs like 'when i'm in the car' or 'when i'm walking'; Tasker/Locale offer verbs like 'is there a wifi network named X nearby' or 'is bluetooth on'. I spent money on Locale to try and solve these kinds of problems on my Android phone and regretted it.
It's just an estimate for the query engine, not a true row count. But good enough for a progress bar.

I'm curious why you suggest avoiding ORMs. I've been debating this for a while and while I like the accessibility and abstraction that ORMs provide in Django and Rails I'm not familiar enough with Doctrine, DB_DataObject or the other PHP options to really have formed my own opinions yet.

Is this a language specific suggestion or something broader? I would love to hear a deeper debate on the subject.

I'm more excited about synthetic meat R&D. Rather than trying to make soy-based products more like meat in taste and texture, why not just create meat in a test-tube, sans the animal?

I've been a vegetarian for 3 or 4 years now. The hardest part for 'meaters' to understand is that I don't want imitation meat. There is far too much good food for me to be eating pretend meat.

Also, the state of imitation meat products is already quite good. I 100% guarantee that the average person couldn't tell the difference between ground beef and 'ground round' in chili. I've fooled too many people to count now. Chicken is bland anyway, so why bother simulating them when you can use tofu or some other meaty vegetable instead.
