It's extremely likely that many non-human animals have similar thoughts. Put another way, it's extremely unlikely that humans have adopted almost all our traits from other animals, except for the inner monologue.

> ...if NASA wanted to send control signals like transmit on and off, they’d need to run a whole parallel set of wires, which would be expensive.

Why not transmit continuously? That seems to be the problem they're solving, but I'm not sure why that would be a problem.

In case anyone else is wondering what ultraprocessed food is, I found this in an NPR article [1]:

> And ultra-processed foods include more than just the obvious suspects, like chips, candy, packaged desserts and ready-to-eat meals. The category also includes foods that some consumers might find surprising, including Honey Nut Cheerios and other breakfast cereals, packaged white bread, jarred sauces, yogurt with added fruit, and frozen sausages and other reconstituted meat products. Popkin says ultra-processed foods usually contain a long list of ingredients, many of them made in labs. So, for example, instead of seeing "apples" listed on a food label, you might get additives that re-create the scent of that fruit. These are foods designed to be convenient and low cost and require little preparation.

Yeah, I was looking at the Note 10 for Linux on DeX. I first saw it at a Samsung developer conference and it made me consider Samsung a progressive company. Not sure I would use it regularly, but it would have been really fun to play with.

I hear this argument exclusively from adults.

The point of the law is to protect vulnerable minors, not liberate precocious minors. For every 14 year old who thinks that they would consent to sex with an adult, how many would not? The best way to avoid damaging minors in "the gray area" is to eliminate the gray area.

I would love to invert the y-axis, too.

Is one of those reasons that it is inhumane?

Definitely. We'll never harvest more than 10% of the energy we feed livestock. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trophic_level

Have to be careful, though. Too much empathy and you'll quit your job.

True, but as soon as you get a job involving any legacy HTML, you'll have to wrestle with them.

I hoped technology would reduce animal exploitation. It does in some areas, like cell farming to create food without animals. And synthetic models for pharmaceutical research. Maybe this branch of research can evolve to eliminate animals as well.

While browsing neutralposture.com's products, I noticed this bullet proof chair. http://neutralposture.com/_site/guardian.php

That's a criterion I hadn't considered.

By that logic, the web isn't the web because it deviates from Tim Berners-Lee's 1989 proposal. http://info.cern.ch/Proposal.html

Bitcoin (BTC) is Bitcoin. Saying it's "altered" is like saying that Hacker News is "altered" because its code has evolved over the years. Saying BSV is the "restored" Bitcoin protocol is like saying retrohackernews.com is the "restored" Hacker News because it runs on an old fork of Hacker News. That doesn't make it Hacker News.

I'm not saying that Bitcoin has become good or bad; I'm saying it's Bitcoin. BSV folks spend a lot of time and bytes trying to convince others that they're the real deal, and that Craig Wright is Satoshi Nakamoto. It doesn't matter. If BSV is superior to Bitcoin, it should prevail through its own merit, not through language gymnastics in online forums.

And it's a JPEG. It would be interesting to see the RAW image.

Optional power drill adapter.

Thanks for pointing this out. The device instantly reminded me of the Teenage Engineering products, but I didn't read thoroughly.

It is likely more efficient to scale lab-grown fish than it is to scale farmed fish. Cell farming is currently expensive an inefficient, like any new technology. But this can be improved. Yet it will always take at least x energy input to create at most x/10 edible fish output. (https://study.com/academy/lesson/the-10-energy-rule-in-a-foo...)

... with an assortment of household items, effects, and a looper pedal. Still, impressive. I can barely make guitar noises with a guitar.

PLNKTN is a good carbon footprint calculator app. Great design (https://plnktn.life/).

Man, that was a good time. I remember writing out paths on paper that were lines of arrows. Had to adjust turn values based on the surface friction; linoleum needed less turn, and carpet needed more. Talk about learning to debug...

That was a little over-the-top. But repurposing industrial robots to make music is genius. And expensive.

When I watch this video, I think about how my mind needs to expand to better understand the complex issues that these authentic people are describing. I think about what I need to learn to live harmoniously with the staggering diversity of humans on this planet. The "help" they need is compassion and open-mindedness from their fellow humans.

About half way through I accepted the likelihood that there would be no muppets. Then I was surprised that this was an ad, and not an art film about Orwellian offices.

Yes, I would like to be able to arrange displays with a 3rd dimension. Rather than have simply a 2d grid for arrangement. For example, have lesser used workspaces placed somewhere in the distance, but still visible and readily available to be brought front and center.

I would love to trade all these monitors for a virtual workstation. Every time there's new VR tech I hope that it's possible. 1280x1440 is definitely an improvement. I'm patient.

This is great. Another killer feature might be exporting songs as structured documents suitable for git.

I got the joke about Slack. Loved it.
