toper-centage··on Beyond Meat’s Beyond Burger life cycle assessment (2018)
Fortunately, we at least know that meat consumption, specially red meat, is bad for you and a WFPB diet is better. So my suggestion is to use products like beyong as a gateway to a WFPB diet.

Also, do you have more on thst "seed oils are toxic"? Literally never heard about that.

I never understood beyond for a health product though. Is that really their branding?

The nature argument falls apart quicker because we're mainly talking about the massive animal breeding complex we have built where we force breed billions of animals specifically to kill them. If a cow could kill you (in self defense), they would, but most of these cows are never given the chance.

To add to that, even grass fed, free range animals are often fed more grain at the end of their lives so the grow quicker in the last couple months.

There was a post of the front-page of reddit a few days ago saying that most Americans are lied to about the fish they are buying in restaurants and supermarkets. I think it hilarious when people like me, urban dwellers, tell me to my face they only buy meat from some small butcher because they only trust him, or some variation of that story. Truth is, we have no idea where our food comes from, labels lie, and sellers have all the incentive to manipulate the truth.

Like what?
toper-centage··on Surprisingly little alcohol can affect heart rate variability
We can't use maths to describe our digestive systems adequately, but we do it for particles.
toper-centage··on We were promised Strong AI, but instead we got metadata analysis
Why are you assuming everyone is looking for long term relationships and not hookups or fwb?
toper-centage··on Bill Gates Impeded Global Access to Covid Vaccines
What are you even talking about? It's free as in freedom, not as in free vaccines. Companies that produce an open source vaccine are still free to put a price tag on the product! This is not a digital good that you can just fork and download at home.
toper-centage··on Get better at Googling
There was a time when I disliked bing and Bing-based engines because Google was just always superior. Nowadays, Google is so often trying to decide what it thinks I actually mean (e.g. Straight out removing search terms and asking if I really want to stick to them), that I feel Bing is often more straightforward and more successful...
toper-centage··on Opting Your Website Out of Google's FLoC Network
Chrome was already tracking your users anyway...
toper-centage··on How to Read Books When You Have ADHD
That's not even a joke. I couldn't stand reading the article, specially this late in the day. This article is terrible for reduced attention states.
toper-centage··on Rust, not Firefox, is Mozilla's greatest industry contribution
What if I told you that both can be true? Firefox might be both fundamental to Internet freedom, but also losing relevance. Which is a big problem...
toper-centage··on Would you prefer working from home after the pandemic?
My company has always had 2 WFH days a week. I found last summer, when we coukd briefly return to the office, that I would prefer 3/5 WFH. So my vote is... Both, but neither.
toper-centage··on Google is testing a dark mode for desktop search
Specially for people with eyesight problems, black themes make it harder to read. As long as sites start respecting User preferences, we should be good.
toper-centage··on Facebook Said to Consider Suing Apple over App Store Practices
Then hopefully you understand you're not the average Internet user. Not needing a smartphone in 2021 is a privilege, not a sacrifice.
toper-centage··on New Spotify Patent Involves Monitoring Users’ Speech to Recommend Music
Those seem like analytics though. Hardly private data. I expect Spotify to track what I listen and how I listen to recommend me better music. This includes what I search, and I decide to listen, how long, etc. Is this really not acceptable?
toper-centage··on Ask HN: Why are people publishing FAQs/articles on Medium instead of Gist?
But dev.to already is monetized? They are not a charity. They are open source a d make money with job postings, sponsorships and sponsored posts.
toper-centage··on Ask HN: Why are people publishing FAQs/articles on Medium instead of Gist?
That's a workaround for a terrible user experience. The fact that you need to suggest that at all is telling. Wait until they start blocking private session users like some news papers...
toper-centage··on Enter Sandbox: Google is building an internet without cookies
Time for everyone in adtech to start advertising Firefox then. Google has made it clear they want to be the only platform where users can watch ads. OSes, Browser, websites.
toper-centage··on Average new car price crosses $40k in 2020
I'm happy never buying a car until significant right-to-repair laws are passed. We need to be able to get our cars fixed anywhere and car makers need to be pushed to more standard practices and parts.
toper-centage··on Apple's MacBook revival plan: Bring back old features
There's are plenty of USB-C to HDMI cables and TVs also come with USB-C I outs these days. We're in a weird transition phase, but going back to multiple different ports would be silly.
toper-centage··on Apple's MacBook revival plan: Bring back old features
I had an XPS that had both and indeed it was useless to have a port for just charging. But if the charging port is also used for magsafe that makes it worth it.
toper-centage··on Spotify's big bet on podcasts is failing, Citi says
Specially where there are several FOSS apps.
toper-centage··on Google Images Restored
Google is data driven and AB tests the hell out of their features, so I would assume these changes make them money somehow. Your personal preferences or anyone else's is merely a very small data point in their design process.
toper-centage··on Apple begins blocking M1 Mac users from side loading iOS applications
Is this not grounds for asking for a refund?
toper-centage··on How Amazon manipulates customers to stay subscribed
I cancelled my amazon subscription because I realized thst lost prime-only products are actually slightly more expensive than non-primes... Often making the "free shipping" with prime not attractive anymore. I rarely need to receive the junk I buy the next day and most products still arrive in 2-3 business days in Germany. Amazon prime is a scam.

Cancelling my prime membership made me make way less impulse purchases. It also encouraged me to explore other great online shops that deliver equality as fast, but only carry a curated selection of products, none of that aliexpress garbage.

toper-centage··on Email is the messenger you should migrate to
But that's purely an UX problem. You can easily create an "email" app that works and looks as an instant messenger.
toper-centage··on McDonald’s Theory on How Best to Rescue Conversations
It's so odd. I was left with the feeling that I just stumbled on a few rough nuggets of pretty interesting advice. I really enjoyed reading this article and shall refer back to it, but it could almost be extended to a small book if the author would polish and deepen it.
