ndiscussion··on The Race to Become the Beyond Meat of Fish
Just curious.. how can you be bullish about lab grown meat without knowing if any companies are involved in it?

It may be a 100b+ company, or it may be that producing lab grown meat costs 100x as much and there is no way to reduce that.

Have there been any initial figures? If so, why is no business capitalizing on it?

This is mostly hypothetical but if you have a response I'd like to hear it.

ndiscussion··on Google AMP Issue: Links to visit the site currently not working
"Weird, what web site even is that?"
ndiscussion··on “Default Position Should Be Skepticism” and other advice for data journalists
Oddly funny to me that there are data journalists out there not following the headline advice. The average person really is doomed.
ndiscussion··on Momentum is building to explore Venus
very cool, thanks for sharing
ndiscussion··on Launch HN: Termius (YC W19) – SSH client that works on desktop and mobile
Thanks for this, not the OP but security is also my #1 concern with this type of product. I'm probably not in the target market anyways so maybe you don't need to listen to me but I love it when companies release info on the way they keep my data safe.

One example, before I sign up for a critical vendor, I like to ensure I can set up secure 2fa with no sms recovery (because sms recovery is broken by design)

A security whitepaper of sorts will probably go a long way on this type of product

ndiscussion··on Stadia Founder's Edition
But those people certainly do not fit the mold: > Gamers are the craziest of early adopters and tech enthusiasts.

Those are the herds we all profit from. Not whales but cows. Why would I want to be on the bleeding edge and get a shit experience?

ndiscussion··on Bottle of Lies
Meh. Not educated enough to tell if this is FUD but sure seems like it. As if the US pharma industry has not been caught countless times hiding data and making patients sick.

"They just don't make it in that India or China or whatever like they can here" comes off as incredibly racist imo.

ndiscussion··on The Euthanasia That Wasn’t
Just wanted to say that I respect your freedom. Life can be far more cruel than most people can imagine. Life for most people seems to be really happy-go-lucky, and anything else is an existential threat that must be blocked out.

I see your plight, and I give you the freedom to feel how you feel (not that you ever needed it from me...)

ndiscussion··on YouTube to Remove Thousands of Videos Pushing Extreme Views
Do you not consider an average 50-60k "high"?

That is more than basically anyone I know personally outside of software, and I'm not in a low COL area.

Because they will stay in our country and help us develop the most productive economy on earth. imo.
ndiscussion··on Peloton Confidentially Files Statement for Proposed IPO
I read "How Not to Die" recently. By LCHF, are you referring to an "Atkins" diet of sorts? High meat/animal fats, vegetables, low carb, low fruit?

I'd be interested in any sources that support that diet for anything other than weight loss - I was under the impression it led to pretty poor health outcomes (apart from bmi/diabetes management)

ndiscussion··on "DigitalOcean Killed Our Company"
Typo on the front page, how you do one thing is how you do everything.

ndiscussion··on ‘Robots’ Are Not 'Coming for Your Job'–Management Is
Not defending this mindset, but I think people against immigration are angry with the rich people.

It would take a real idiot to be angry with someone that needs a job and is allowed to have one by the government they voted for. There are some of these idiots, but not too many...

ndiscussion··on Namecheap launches free public DNS
Just a simple thanks for this, signed up my new domain with them and will be transferring my others soon. I was out of touch.

Funny, I'm sure you're being helpful but I can't tell if this is satire. Thank god for gnu.
ndiscussion··on Google to restrict modern ad blocking Chrome extensions to enterprise users
I know this is contentious, but I think the problem might be that you're using a razor-thin device with extreme thermal throttling problems. I experience no such slowdowns on a 2011 Acer econobook with an i5 and 4gb ram.
ndiscussion··on DRM enabled Google to have an open source browser still under its control
Huh, how odd.
ndiscussion··on Almost 40% of Americans Would Struggle to Cover a $400 Emergency
The thing is.. when you refuse endure this temporary pain, the natural consequence is that the rest of your life will be filled with more pain.

Sadly for some of us (myself included at many times in my life), we just can't make those decisions as easily as we hoped. Willpower and determination seemed so easy when I was young.

ndiscussion··on Namecheap launches free public DNS
I actually went to register a new domain a few moments later and saw this. I have noticed it getting a little slower but overall I stand by my statements about the support.

That said, this announcement and emergency maintenance combo is not a good sign to me. Sigh.

Curious what you're using now?

ndiscussion··on Namecheap launches free public DNS
As a counterpoint I have all my domains on namecheap. I don't use their SSL option because I prefer using let's encrypt.

They charge around $13 for a renewal but include whois anonymization and have awesome customer service, a great web dashboard, and nice security options. Can't ask for more myself, and it will take a lot to make me switch.

ndiscussion··on The time I accidentally transported a brick of heroin from LA to Seattle
It sure seems totally real. He also seems like a totally real sociopath!

You know, I never really thought about the mechanic, or what happened to him afterwards. It's kinda like when you're playing Red Dead Redemption 2, and you see someone tied up on the back of a horse, but you're on a mission, so you're just like, "Sorry I can't help. Good luck!"

ndiscussion··on The time I accidentally transported a brick of heroin from LA to Seattle
>I won't go into all the details, but I managed to sell it all to one person. It was lower risk. Plus, I'm not a drug dealer.

"Oops, I accidentally sold $40,000 worth of heroin. But I'm not a drug dealer. I'm a good guy!"

ndiscussion··on A New Look for Google Search
How about showing me the universal resource locator where I am going, rather than a "brand"?
ndiscussion··on The Troubled History of Psychiatry
Sorry to be harsh, but given the replication crisis, we really don't need more made-up guesses on this.

If you are truly interested, try reading Trauma and Recovery by Judith Herman. Dense scientific book on just this type of thing.

ndiscussion··on The Most Expensive Lesson of My Life: Details of SIM Port Hack
I would consider that an alarming sign that I need to change investment companies asap (probably after loudly complaining and trying to change it, since Vanguard is somewhat unique).

ndiscussion··on The Most Expensive Lesson of My Life: Details of SIM Port Hack
And those working with cryptocurrency seem to be very ill-equipped for protecting their wealth. Seems like a natural filter.

ndiscussion··on YTMND is down for temporary maintenance
No it's not? I've been on YTMND for over 10 years so this was very sad and nostalgic for me.

But I went to ytmnd.com and it was giving some PHP database errors.

And now they have a status message:

> rip db

>YTMND is down for temporary maintenance. This gives us time to optimize the database, free up unused space, deploy new features, and generally just break stuff. This should not take very long, so feel free to stick around and chat or go away. If you have any trouble accessing the site, or concerns about the direction in which your life is heading, feel free to send an email to support @ ytmnd.com (and expect to be ignored).

edit: It seems this is all very poor reporting. Gizmodo, et al have jumped on the story. YTMND has shut down!

All based on some speculation on a forum because the site was down for a while?
