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 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 ?
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.
Spock logic "needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few" as an individual it will feel wrong but from the point of view for the many it seem selfish.
I do think people with no vaccine now are becoming more and more at risk as the vaccinated population grows with more social interaction without much consequence to the vaccinated. This has increased the risks to the unvaccinated. Being a holdout is not a great position to be in now.
