I'm curious to see how they will eliminate things like cholesterol, saturated fat, trimethylamines (which the human body oxidizes into TMAO) and neu5ac (which the human body converts to neu5gc) out of "cultured meat".

If I don't want to share my surveillance footage with authorities, could this possibly count as me aiding and abetting the criminal?

Yeah, youâ(TM)re right, the sensible first response to âoehey, sexism is kinda prevalent and also badâ is âoeI bet those females are lyingâ.

Well done. Good job.

“Confidential computing focuses on securing data in use. Current approaches to securing data often address data at rest (storage) and in transit (network), but encrypting data in use is possibly the most challenging step to providing a fully encrypted lifecycle for sensitive data,” the Linux Foundation said today in a joint statement."

I hope their platform incorporates, or at least addresses, the concept of fully homomorphic encryption. In my mind this would be the gold standard for implementing such a "fully encrypted lifecycle".

Lemme guess...you have never seen a comic book.

Yeah, a bunch of us here on Slashdot moved much of the conversation to Twitter. Unfortunately, Trump seems to get a bunch of the bandwidth there too.

Say watt??

Livestock pollutes far more. We can take direct action against it by not buying products made from animals and their secretions.

Glancing quickly at the headline, "Even female Uber drivers get paid less", one may get the impression that women drivers are discriminated against. The article could have gone with "Even female Uber drivers earn less than male drivers", but that phrase doesn't carry the same biting edge, does it..

Lovely!! Dr. Doug Lisle sure knows how to present his argument. I regularly listen to his podcasts on Dr. McDougall's Youtube page (you too?)

In short, I appreciate how Dr. Lisle breaks down what appears to be a complex behavior into a rather simple set of smaller responses to internal anxieties ("carb bad", can't have have potatoes or some nonsense like that) or stimuli which cynically hijack our mind's response to tastes (like the so-called "flavor bursts" that food scientists work to re-create in the mouths of people eating their snacks).

I read the article and agree with their argument that Americans are over-prescribed and over-treated relative to their ailments. However, I did not see a solution to this which would make a significant impact. I've also read about the Ornish study, which describes the results from the only diet known to prevent and revert heart disease. It's a shame that the notion of a low-fat, whole-plant-based diet is only now starting to get noticed in the media, but I am grateful to see it happening. Drs. John McDougall, Neal Barnard, Caldwell Esselstyn, T. Colin Campbell, Pamela Popper and others are doing incredible work, and I am glad to see more people adopting their approach.

I agree about the coffee quality. However, Starbucks isn't really in the business of selling coffee. They sell space. You really buy a break in a pretty comfortable, relaxed environment; a living room for rent. The overextracted cardboard mug of coffee is just a bonus.

The Shinkansen typically runs every 15-20 minutes or so. On the busiest lines (Tokyo-Osaka) at peak times there's a new train every five minutes. You just show up, get a ticket atthe vending machine and step on to the next train.

Flying may be cheaper, but the trains are just so much faster and more convenient. I love them.

Even if you could create a version of Windows that would run well in a cluster environment, the applications aren't there. One reason Linux is so dominant is that the kind of code you want to run on a big cluster is all written for Linux.

With that said, some HPC apps are hybrid; you run a client on your local machine (Windows app, or a web app) that dispatches the work on to the cluster in the background. With those you can treat the cluster as a big accelerator for your local app.
