Given the marketshare and their size they should go after Tyson for more than just price fixing. Food Security is a strategic national security issue.

According to a grocery store worker near me, more recently Tyson started entering into agreements for buying back rotten meat at fixed (but lowered) prices so the stores wouldn't have to discount the meat leading up to expiration. This was in response to asking about why the meat hasn't been going on sale at all.

Many desperate low-income people wait for the sales, then do a bunch of cooking. When the sales never happen they have to get food somehow. Economically the demand doesn't change, but because they have artificially constrained and reduced supply, they are making record profits very stupidly.

Food Security historically has been one of the top few driving forces in revolution.

Tyson needs to be broken up just like all other monopolies.
Safeguarding national security is more important. The people involved in those decisions need to go to jail. No fine will be big enough.

If a company cooperates with others to manipulate a sale price, its price fixing. Be it algorithm, or other change in input, cost, or choice.
A "BSD from scratch" project would end up closer to something along the lines of "Debian from scratch" or "Redhat from scratch". You would be performing an exercise in bootstrapping, and little else.
> This seems like another 'solution' that really only addresses how the diseases manifest but not the root cause.

If you read the article, you'd see that one of the features is that in the vast majority of cases, the B-cells return, but not the B-cells that were causing the immunodeficiency

quote: "Once injected into the hosts, the CAR T cells got to work. They multiplied and targeted and destroyed all the B cells — including pathogenic cells linked to the autoimmune conditions. The bioengineered T cells survived for weeks in the recipients before largely vanishing. Eventually, new healthy B cells returned, but no pathogenic ones did. A similar response has been observed in people with autoimmune conditions who received CAR T cells derived from their own cells."

My point being that the immune system appears to remains functional with this treatment, differentiating it from the clinical therapies that are available to you currently.

Speaking as someone who has also been let down by the medical system, but also who wouldn't be alive without it: I agree that Big Pharma is a problem (anyone disagreeing with that is arguing against the scientific evidence -- Ben Goldacre's book Bad Pharma is a good introduction to the problems with the industry), and that in the gross case they are lacking financial incentives. At the same time, this does not mean that the clinical therapies we have or are developing, are utterly ineffective.
No matter the views on the whole issue, I find it quite bold, but also risky to start such a project in the US. At the core of it, this is still an armed conflict, that the US is actively involved in. (for much of the conflict's ~140 year history but especially the last ~70 years)

So I'd expect an US-based incubator or startup with an explicit pro-palestine agenda to be at risk of getting into legal hot water very quickly if they don't commit themselves to purely civilian and nonviolent projects.

All the projects that are currently listed on the page fulfill that condition, but I don't see how that incubator's stance towards projects with a military significance or "dual use" potential would be.
Depends. If it's up to bigPharma, it will be 1 pill 3x a day, forever. Chronic patients are the best to the bottom line

> This is like stating, "What are software engineers doing that's worth so much? There's plenty of free code courses online."

Well, that’s not perfectly accurate comparison. When adjusted for nuances it’s much less clear what’s best. If a quick course is all you really need to get something done, and there are no e.g. maintenance concerns (so you don’t care if something is merely acceptable and not up to the best standards - as I get it, without any research, the case is effectively an one-off thing), and the professional services are notoriously costly, it makes me wonder why. In such scenario DIY approach looks very compelling to me.

Because I’ve heard the same thing about immigration and it turned out to be false. My current understanding is that there are a lot of immigration cases that may need a lawyer but a lot more where it’s a total waste of money.

Of course I can be wrong. There are always nuances and differences. That’s why I’ve asked what makes it so costly.

There is some good news in this article too:

> In the UK and Europe, solar panels are covered by the Waste from Electrical and Electronic Equipment directive, or WEEE. The rules oblige supplying companies to collect and recycle discarded panels, or to shoulder the cost for another entity to do so. It means that, hopefully, we won’t see tons more panels being dumped to landfills, but also means it’s often going to be more economical to send working panels to recycling rather than repurposing them.

So at least the panels aren’t just ending up in landfills but are actively recycled. I don’t understand this sentence though: it’s often going to be more economical to send working panels to recycling rather than repurposing them

If a reseller or manufacturer has to pay for the recycling of a panel I would assume it’s much cheaper to repurpose them instead of recycle them. What am I missing here?

I think NATO should directly engage with Russia within the boundaries of Ukraine, including Crimea.

Putin is demanding that everyone stand by the sidelines and allow him to abuse people. It’s like a schoolyard bully who threatens bystanders into tacitly supporting their actions through their inaction. China is watching this closely and it’s clear that if a bully wants to abuse someone all they need to do is make threats and the West will demonstrate cowardice and allow the bully to do whatever they please. The West should grow a pair and slap that shit down with extreme prejudice. If we don’t do it now it will just enable other bullies to test the meekness of the West.

The way to deal with someone who abuses people is to take their power away, not act meekly, which just empowers them.

I have a Brother printer from 2019 (HL 2340) that does not support IPP Everywhere. A lot of other printers from before ~2020 don’t either.

You are (like so many other people) confusing IPP the protocol with IPP the driver, which is honestly not your fault and a terrible naming mistake.

And like you mentioned, people have way older printers because if all you do is print monochrome and mostly text, a printer from 2004 doesn’t lack much aside from AirPrint / Mopria. Which is why I suspect CUPS will not deprecate at least PPD drivers.
Another major area for decarbonization is also just better design - just by making it easier to fabricate and deploy shaped beams/floor systems which allocate material in a way that mildly follows the moment diagram, you can knock out massive amounts of emissions, just by virtue of the fact that the developing world will largely be building all floor systems out of concrete…

>So, I'm really curious—where do you all usually go to share your ideas or landing pages?

With the people you want to serve. The way to know if you have product/market fit is to put your product on the market. If you can't reach that market (segment), then you have many problems.

It is one way to know that you can reach them, that they actually do have the problem you're trying to solve, that there is value in solving that problem, that they are willing to reward you solving that problem, and that the reward is worth the work.

It is also one way to get the messaging right and the sales motions tight.

You'll confirm you can distribute your product, and that there is a market for your product.

My first instinct is that the effect is too large to be real. But that should be something other people could reproduce and verify.

I'm hesitant to mention brands. Any independently tested product with a wide variety of strains should be good.

I used ranch dressing and added other vegetables and crushed corn chips. To each his own.

These were huge salads. I couldn't even think of eating anything else after I finished them.

I'm surprised nobody noticed the elephant in the room, the fact that ChatGPT has a very hard woke slant. That said, -o1 has gotten a lot better but it's not as uncensored and unbiased as GPT-3 was when it was first released. For a while GPT-4 was very clearly biased for the left and U.S. Democrats particularly.

Now keep in mind that this is going to be the default option for a lot of forums and social media for automated moderation. Reddit is already using it a lot and now a lot of the front page is clearly feedback farming for OpenAI. What I'm getting at is we're moving towards a future where only a certain type of dialog will be allowed on most social media and Sam Altman and his sponsors get to decide what that looks like.

These pain points are present in the UK as well; a ton of people have to go to A&E and wait for hours there because their primary caregiver / GP is booked full. 1-2 days wait up to a week for non-urgent care sounds fine to me, but at $300 it's a bit ridiculous.

People end up getting worse and cost the system more, so the cycle continues.
I don't know the story of the entry of foo into the computer science lexicon, but it is the case that the early days of computers were populated with a fair number of military veterans because early computers were mostly used in military applications so that produced people with computer experience (not to mention the compulsory draft which meant that a large number of people would have military experience anyway).

FUBAR ("fucked up beyond all recognition") was supposedly a military slang phrase.

And the popular comic strip Smoky Stover starting in the 1930's used the word "Foo" wrt a firefighting character perhaps giving that spelling more currency.

Just as Ukrainians have ethnic slurs for Jews [2], for example.

What's that supposed to prove?

The Russian language has its share as well of course, and guess what -- the most common one is identical to the same term as used in Ukrainian:

At the 23 February 2006 rally celebrating the Soviet Defenders of the Fatherland Day, a yearly tribute to war veterans, according to the newspaper Kommersant, marchers flourished signs with messages including "Zhyds! Stop drinking Russian blood!", "White State!", and "Russian Government for Russia".[13]

The vastly bigger point is that antisemitism has been on the decline (and officially discouraged) in both countries for quite some time, of course. My direct sources on the matter in Ukraine (i.e. Ukrainian Jews) uniformly and adamantly maintain that, while there was a bit of an upswell in the late Soviet era, by now it is so vastly reduced as to be a non-issue.

I'll definitely take their word over yours, any day.

> Automattic is saying "you have the right to fork, but you can't use the trademarks if you do".

The contract says the opposite – it states "you can use the trademark, but you have to forfeit your right to fork if you do"

Such an attempt to get someone to forfeit their GPL right-to-fork (even for consideration) is forbidden by the GPL license granted to Automattic, and the punishment for violating that GPL license in such a way, is that Automattic forfeits their own license.

Automattic is not allowed to propose a contract which limits someone's GPL right-to-fork. They did so anyways, and thus should lose their own license.
carbon chauvinism. if you try to argue about simulating at lower and lower levels, they still refuse to accept that a brain could be computed. as if QED/QCD can tell if they're running on top of silicon or under carbon.
It still could be useful in Ukraine to make use of all the blood and meat Russia sends everyday... 1000-1400 casualties every day or ~435k/y. They send specialist drone operators and even FSB and carrier naval units to the front on essentially suicide missions.
They don't have one, which is why they're struggling to maintain market share. They run solely on brand loyalty, and slightly on competing with AWS and GCP to sell server hosting to people with more money than sense.
