Their first reaction to any new technology is We're All Gonna Die. As soon as the apocalypse fails to materialize, they blame the capitalist system for "overhyping" the idea. Pot, kettle, black.
"...So it's time to humanely put her down."
Whack that company with a rolled-up newspaper.
While today's almost perfect Starship test seems to have slipped through the cracks. Where are the techie Slashdotters of yesteryear?
I'm ultra-liberal and so are most of my friends, I've never even heard of this objection. The only pushback I've ever seen against synthetic meat has been from right-wingers. Are you perhaps being deceived by a bunch of illiberals who will find a few crazies online and present what they say as the opinions of the entire group?
I hear the "processed" objection a lot recently from the Greens and the 'wellness community', to both lab-grown meat and the plant-based substitutes for meat.
If people don't want lab-grown meat, they won't buy it. That being said, I also think this is an issue where "climate activists" are out of touch with reality, because when it comes to cattle burps and farts, that's carbon which is already part of the natural carbon cycle.
The laws cited here are protectionism for ranchers. But meanwhile, liberals won't eat lab-grown meat because it's "processed." This term has no precise meaning, and no harm has been established, but now it's being applied to everything that is not "colonialist."
I want my socks woven by artisanal crofters, not on soulless steam-powered looms!
Vote Green in 1812!

"China Routinely Uses VisionPro for Microsurgery"
"US Patients Flown To Shanghai for Lower-Cost Treatment, Better Outcomes"
So where will all those people who were planning to flee north to escape Trump go now? Venezuela? Palestine? Somalia?

So New York Times really is Pravda now?
What this bill actually provides for is ending DST for clocks costing less than $950, those being the clocks that must be adjusted manually every spring and fall. Clocks costing more than that are mostly on smartphones, and so adjust themselves automatically.
Dry desert area, cool! Er, warm! Not rainy! Not snowy! Not icy!
Anyone working on this?
These are the obvious places to implement it first.
What turns people off a bout shopping in San Francisco, which used to be a major tourist activity, is not the low probability that they will happen to be at Nordstrom's when the flash mob storms through and cleans the place out. It'a the much higher probability that their car will be broken into - or carjacked - before they can get their purchases home.
When you were little, the monster hid under your bed. Today, it's in the parking garage.
When they are found, it will be possible to stop them without committing murder.
If your concern is that they might have killed people, it is especially hypocritical of you to insist upon their death when they can be stopped without it.
Heads on pikes will convince others never to go into this line of business.
Only a particularly vile life form would stoop to putting innocent bystanders in harm’s way like this for the sake of a few bucks.
I can no longer get my glaucoma refills because of this. Please, intelligence agencies, put the supercomputers to work and break the cryprocurrencies that ransomware operators use. That's they ONLY way to put them out of business.
