There's a difference between consuming products that are funded by ads, where you can just it out of the product, and add that pollute public space.

This isn't specific to ads. It's a problem either supply chain in every industry. It's why your clothes are made in dangerous sweatshops, why your electronics are made by dumping toxic chemicals in rivers, and why your choco

Burglary is breaking and entering with intent to commit a crime. There is nothing specific about theft or the presence of the victim in burglary.

Frankly this sounds like some bureaucrat who likes HTT made up an excuse to fund it. It's a mil/gov version of a corporate engineer who decides to build a project in a language they read about on HN.

"Why" does not exist in science. "Why" is metaphysics. Pure math is increasing abstraction, moving away from physical reality, from examples to patterns. Applied math is the reverse direction. No matter which direction i

Category theory operates at a far more abstract level than that. A whole dynamical system would just be a dot in a category theory analysis.

In vitro seems much more risky than in digestion. We don't get much of our cellular behavior directly from cellular structures in foods we consume.

No, if Apple opened it's OS to OEMs, it would be hit. Apple isn't getting fined for it's app store which is essentially the same structure as Google's OEM hardware setup

Google could satisfy EU by cancelling OEM Android licensing programming and reducing consumer choice to Google phones only, relegating OEMs to suppliers like "good" Apple, and putting most OEMs out of business. Good job, EU.
