This is NOT the same thing. In fact, it's closer to the exact opposite. Infants are born with still-developing immune systems, and honey contains botulism spores which are capable of germinating in subjects with weak or still-developing immune systems. This is a proven risk that presents itself *every time* an infant eats honey, and there's a ton of downside if the risk is realized. On the other side of the coin, there's absolutely no upside to feeding an infant honey while their immune system is still developing the ability attack these spores.

Why hold off on cow's milk? Granted that human breast milk is better for human children, but lots of us were raised on cow's milk (frex, I was adopted as an infant) and there did not seem to be a plague stalking us other than polio, for which they were just coming out with the Sabin and Salk vaccines. UNPASTEURIZED milk, I could understand, but it is illegal to buy that in the USA, except commercially to pasteurize and resell.

Hire humans to build more hardware. Make robots to build more hardware. Build spacecraft when the Earth has been completely mined of its resources and start mining on other planets. Architect more efficient hardware and algorithms and recycle old hardware.... The limits we think we know are very often a product of limited imagination, and not intrinsic to the physical world.

I think the bigger problem is, what happens when we reach the long-tail of process development, and demand tapers off to the point they can't fund further R&D?

IE: Systems are "good enough" and people go from buying one every 3 years to "only when they break". That could be 10+ years.

I suppose Intel would just follow the carrot to the next profitable market like they are pushing Atom CPUs lately?

This was a lot of years ago. Things weren't as tightly controlled back then. '386 days...

I asked Gordon Moore about this and he said it would be illegal.

They are probably thinking something along the lines of "I make decisions for a multi billion dollar company. I probably know better than some dude on the Internet."

My father told me growing up that my stutter was just something I was doing for attention, and I could stop as soon as I wanted (and I was consequently grounded and sent to my room when I "didn't want to stop"). Surely he'd never have done that if there was actually a REASON for my stuttering.

No, fuck you.

I don't know what fantasy land you've shaped in mom's basement, but outside a tiny fraction of the US you need a car to make a living.

I figure the best and most ecological way to do this is to make the car I have last, and one of the way to make it last is to take care of it. Road salt is highly corrosive, the sand they put down turns to dust which in turn can etch the paint. Once rust starts, you can't really stop it and then you need a new car. And salt is corrosive to more than just the finish, it's corrosive to the undercarriage and mechanical systems, too.

But I suppose you think it's more ecological to just make more cars.

Neither have electrons.

I wash mine 2-3 times per week
