Would ... that impart the dreaded "processed-ness"? A lab vs. a factory?

Oh no! By dismissing one example, you've devastated my ... oh wait, no you haven't.

What about the artificial vanilla flavor? Is Grandma the queen of processed-ness?

Is there some percentage of kitchens that something has to be found in, to be free of the "processed-ness" taint? Do they all have to be home kitchens? I mean, since we're being so scientific about all this ...

You ... do know that kitchens around the world have things like artificial vanilla flavor (and yes, even Karo corn syrup) in them, right?

... grams of proceed-ness per serving are the limit?

You know, since we're being scientific ...

All it does is make it so that the ability to get a ticket shifts from having more money to he who gets there first, which isn't really a huge tradeoff.

The reality is that if the tickets are selling out that fast and they're being resold for significantly more than the original price, then they were underpriced to begin with.

Maybe a Chinese takeover of the UK before full Islamicisation wouldn't be so bad?

... Wenlian is a bit of a cold fish (badum ching!).

The main question is if the plant is still safe. It hasn't been used in years. Is it still in good maintenance? Was the design meant to be idled for years? What are the risks of restarting that particular design of reactor after all those years? Is the land there safe for workers of the plant after reactor 2's accident all those years ago? And what plans are in place to prevent what happened at reactor 2 from happening at reactor 1?

I actually don't know the answer to any of those questions. But I hope experts are actively asking those.

I don't think the US actually enforces anything approaching the spirit of robust anti-trust law now. The goalposts have been moved back so many times, they're on another field now.

"you are posting on Slashdot..."
so does SuperKendall.

"..buy some long ..."
with what money?

"you'd make enough to keep the mortgage current"
what mortgage?

"... after there return of the principle"
Sure, /. posters by definition has multiyear financial plans.

Let them eat cake.

LOL as if cryptocurrencies are anything other than manufactured scarcities of literally no value. This is what you get when you employ AI to manufacture prose in support of fraud.

"Too much drinking, crap eating, and not exercising enough eventually takes their toll."

sure, it must be because of their inferiority and not because you have simply forgotten. Could not possibly be you.

Correct. The article says this:

"The researchers then fed the data into machine learning algorithms trained to recognize faces."

What is "the data" here? We don't know.

The article wants to suggest that some people view portions of data more selectively but it doesn't say that. Also, what are the "earliest stages of visual processing"? They say "retinal encoding" but if that's true then the OP's description of what was done wouldn't show anything.

Really isn't. I haven't seen cursive anywhere but on documents in a museum at any point in my life. That includes signatures, which are more likely to be a squiggle than anything resembling actual cursive. There is zero point to mandatory instruction on it anymore (if there ever was- the idea that it was a faster way of writing is backed by 0 proof. And even if it was, the ease of reading script more than cancels out those speed gains).

I don't think that's it. Gaming PC's generally cost more than a console, and the "general purpose PC that can also dabble in some gaming" is becoming less common. It seems that people are buying less PC's but those who are still buying them are often buying them for a purpose.

I think it's that "gaming" (and by that I need AAA high dollar value gaming as opposed to casual cell phone/mobile device gaming) is becoming a little more niche of a hobby. Niche hobbies often have high costs associated with them because the small group of people who are willing to participate are willing to unload large sums of money into it.

PC gaming has always been where the best performance and visuals have been available - and it could just be that the remaining customer base are the ones who want that whilst more casual people are fine using their mobile devices for playing a different type of game.

I will say personally I've always bought consoles strictly for exclusives, while always also maintaining a gaming PC as well. As exclusives become less of a thing and everything seems to be available on PC anyways, I have little incentive to actually buy a console anymore.
