I've been vegetarian for 40years and prefer my food to not be like meat. I also know plenty of people that avoid if too like real meat. Not sure what market they go for. People that dont want meat but miss it I guess. The idea of the latest lab grown meat I also find disturbing
I don't eat much meat outside of the occasional fish but I did welcome the fake meat fad.
It's not that I enjoy eating the product, it's that I need to find protein somehow when I'm at "American food" restaurants (fast food or otherwise). In most of these places there's no veggie protein options other than the "veggie burger" - and the fake meats have made these a little more ubiquitous.
I think the metaverse is something very cool and for it to be associated with Facebook which comes across as a toxic company causes resentment. Something cool and futuristic that I've read and dreamed about has been tainted before coming to fruition because of who is making it.
I hear great things about the headsets but I just dont trust the company that makes them.
If you entangle two particles at the quantum level and then take particle 1 on a trip around the world. Due to particle 1 traveling closer to the speed of light that particle two it has traveled through time slower than particle 2.
Now if the state of particle 2 is changed will that be reflected in particle 1 instantly or after a fraction of a millisecond. If a time difference is encountered what would happen if you change the state of particle 1 would particle 2 already have been change a fraction before or not ?
That's not how entanglement works. Operations on particle 2 are not reflected in particle 1 -- not instantaneously, not at the speed of light, nor at any other rate.
This is a very basic result called the No Communication Theorem. It's not in competition with quantum mechanics; it's a fundamental part of it.
This sounds fab, I worry all the energy saved in ethereum will just be transferred over to crunching bitcoin instead and no actual energy will be saved.
It's not just the tree count but type too that needs thinking about. Trees to help biodiversity rather than just for the numbers. Having huge masses of fast growing pine is not the best for wildlife. Variety is the key.
I cycled the UK coast to coast with friends. We did a peleton on a boring straight cycle track that went on for many miles. We managed to do 20mph for a couple of hours with each of us taking a turn at the front for 5 minutes a time.
I've also done track cycling where you leave a 30cm gap between wheels and have no brakes. That is truly unnerving.
Good for the environment? It will block animals and birds migrating. I can see that concentrated living to lower the footprint of cities is good but the design is like a big barrier
My previous company had had such a stable team with no-one leaving for two and a half years. The pay was not amazing but we all got on well and the company seemed to treat us all well.
A new CEO came along and got the CTO to make a third of the team redundant. Soon after everyone left apart from 2 devs and one tester (16 in team originally ). They will struggle to offer support and introduce new features now. Its a big shame really good things were happening and then bang it all fell apart.

Amazing how times change. 15 years ago I left a company after 6 years and they were "really? why? we're just getting started with intresting things, honest."
Yes, I've had 8 year and 6 year tenures in my career, sprinkled with 2 year stints. The 8 and 6 year tenures were great, so I stayed. At least until we got acquired by a larger company which made it not so great, so I left.
I can't imagine the cost of a software company not being able to release quality releases because of brain drain. I can't imagine executives being so isolated from the ground that they don't realize this or don't care. US business seems so short sighted today. Perhaps that's necessary to make the quickest buck. I've noticed this trend in mostly larger corporations, so I stay away from them and usually work at smaller, fast growth companies when I can find them.
