greggeter··on Launch HN: Micro Meat (YC S21) – Technology for scaling cultivated meat
Honest question. Why make meat? Why not use your resources to create nutrition bars? You have to source everything the meat needs to grow anyway (and what are those sources/impacts?), why not just press it in a bar and be done? If you're afraid folks will really miss their meat, so you want to ply them with meat, let me just say - folks who love meat will find the meat they love. They won't likely shift to reactor meat for environmental reasons.

Conscientious meat lovers will invest in regenerative agriculture, lobby for ending corn feeding, reclaim all that land, return it to natural grassland, and let ruminant animals do what they do best -- feed the soil and make meat.

We should expand the number of reps to 1 per 100k. Would help much of the problems.
greggeter··on Long time nuclear waste warning messages
Many Gen IV nuclear designs can use the 10K year waste fuel and turn it into 300 year waste. If you believe climate change is killing us, this is the answer. If you don't believe that but believe clean, free electricity in abundance is best for a developing world, then this is also the answer.
greggeter··on Ask HN: What healthcare options exist for entrepreneurs?
I pay $150/mo using a health sharing service called Christian Healthcare Ministries. There are others not religious in nature like Liberty Health Share. Would be $450 for entire family.

greggeter··on Stephen King's 20 Rules for Writers (2018)
His book "On Writing" is great in audio version. King reads it. It's the only audio book I've listened to multiple times. Great stuff.
