People watched TV for many hours daily for decades now. I agree that it’s not healthy, but it’s not purely a new technology’s fault.

Surprising I also don’t recognize the name but recognize the characters. Does this show have a different name in the UK? Edit: I think I am just confusing it with a very similar looking UK/Central European show.

Net migration rate in France [1] (as an example of a Western European country with a substantial migration over many decades) and Sweden [2] did not increase in any unprecedented way in resent years. In Sweden it's actually declining.

So in your opinion these cultural elements have disappeared? Common law, Christian morality, nationalism are all alive and well in most of European countries.

What identity did Europe have in the past? There are many independent countries on the continent. Countries with a long and unique history... and many of those countries still have a strong identity. It's bizarre how many commenters on

Right, for the first time in its history Europe is facing migrants and gun violence. Thank you for such an enlightened opinion.

Me too! However I like spending time at home with my family even more.

1. Future Meat has reduced the price from hundreds of dollars to below $4 for 100g of cultured chicken in the last decade. They are projecting to reach cost parity with traditional meat within the next 8 years. The story is very similar for

The only publicly traded lab-grown meat company is MeaTech 3D (MITC). Saying that, some investors believe that large beer producers such as Anheuser-Busch InBev (BUD) are in an advantageous position to scale up cultured meat production in t

Yup - Wildtype is already producing and testing (with famous chefs) great looking salmon. Check out their Instagram for product photos.

The change is happening right as we speak. Just several weeks ago the first cultured meat factory has been launched in Israel. It produces just 500kg per day - but it’s a huge step for the industry. Cultured chicken is already being sold

It's a company policy with vetted questions, I dislike this approach.

> Summer loves and friendships were meant to end with a sobbing farewell at the end of August, not with a unfollow and block in November. This is such a good thought. I think it applies to other areas of human relationships as well. Brea

There is a limit to the proposed approach. Most interviews I conduct (algorithms) include puzzle-like problems. So if you just Google them - you would find a complete answer. In that case, what's left for the interviewee to solve? (Whe

I moved from London to Oakland several years ago. In London I would take a bus to work and then walk for 5 minutes to the office. Taking Bart is just not pleasant - the cars are packed, so you stand super close to other sweaty people for 45

Even that resulted in an hour each way for me pre-pandemic. Then you also need to factor in the exhaustion that comes with using Bart, especially in the evening.

Also, depending on the type of commute, I need to factor in the exhaustion that comes with using public transportation like Bart. So for me it was an hour each way plus a substantial time to decompress from standing in a packed sweaty trai

Ha! That’s a genius idea! I might start going on morning/evening “commute” walks too.

I am surprised that the crime and the homeless problem were not even mentioned as the key reasons for people leaving SF. I live on Mission street and a Walgreens near me was closed recently due to the amount of open shoplifting that no one

I actually agree with this analogy. However, Bitcoin is not stock - unless now, after first calling a currency, then a store of value, we magically transition to calling Bitcoin a stock-like asset.

It’s astonishing how a single individual can affect (manipulate) the value of an entire monetary ecosystem via a series of Tweets. What’s the advantage of Bitcoin being - allegedly - so independent from governments and other centralized po

By this standard words can have only a single meaning. If they have more than one meaning it’s dishonest.

Hmm, which products right now claim to contain meat when they don’t?

by ub99 5y ago
I am holding in my hands right now a container that is labeled Cashewmilk Yogurt (produced by Forager). It’s a great tasting non dairy yogurt. Highly recommend!

They are preparing for the onslaught of cultured meat/dairy/fish.

I find this discussion fascinating. We are both consumers discussing consumer rights. I - a consumer - want to be able to buy a product I recognize by name, that is also made from specific ingredients that I choose, e.g. almond milk. I don’

Right… the primary motivation of Texas lawmakers is that they are concerned about people being fooled… I want to be able to buy non-dairy yogurt and non-dairy mayo. Not “yellow paste” or “white soft creamy desert”. There is nothing wrong

Ah, of course, Texas is starting the war on cultured meat. The next decade is going to be fascinating: endless legal blocks attempting to slow down the animal product revolution.

Great job! The builder is fun and intuitive. I especially like how you handle responsiveness - very smooth. Do you basically use relative units (eg percentages) for all sizes and distances to accomplish that?

I am a professional SWE and am exploring several music-oriented startup ideas at the moment. I definitely do not promise anything, but would love to stay in touch in case I get funded in the (distant) future. I will message you on GitHub.
