You've just described the exact reason section 230 of the CDA exists.
In the case Stratton Oakmont, Inc. v. Prodigy Services Co. Prodigy lost the case because the court ruled because Prodigy had content standards, it became liable for defamatory content posted on its bulletin boards.
Had the above case become the final precedent, it's likely social media never would have existed in the first place.
He predicted in 2024 that by 2035 large scale raising of animals is going to go away. Small & medium boutique operations will remain for those wanting to enjoy eating meat at luxury prices.
Lab grown meat is already at parity with the cost of a regular burger patty. If they can get it down to 1/2 or even 1/3 we'll see if those bans hold up.
The Strait of Hormuz is currently closed indefinitely and it's not just oil and natural gas which flows through there but a significant percentage of inputs for farms. If these labs are less affected by these skyrocketing prices they may not even need to make the process more efficient.
Beef prices are currently high because the number of cattle is low. One reason is Texas may not be able to supply enough water to supply homes, datacenters, ranches AND growing animal feed. Most food in the USA is grown to feed animals. "To raise a steer takes enough water to float a destroyer."
California is finally out of drought but California has long-term water issues as well. Central Valley farmers are draining ground water at such a fast rate that land is sinking and threatening the California Aqueduct, which farms, businesses and 27 million people depend on.
For purposes of fines, only Indian revenue can be considered.
For purposes of taxation, all our revenue is earned in Ireland.
If you're someone as brilliant as Steve Wozniak, you'll probably succeed with or without a degree. He quietly went back to UC Berkeley and finished his degree years later under an assumed name.
But the vast majority of people not only are nowhere near as brilliant but have no clue what they actually want to do in life! College is a great place to figure that out.
The majority of the 10 richest people in the world graduated from college and many of them have master's degrees.
It's not "all."

There is an old clip of George Lucas talking about how when the people feel government can't get anything done, they'll elect a dictator who can get things done.
This is in the context of his Star Wars films, but it applies really well to today because that is exactly what is happening.
The previous criminal President we had was Nixon but it was Republicans who told him resign or we'll kick you out of office, and then both parties came together and passed a series of safeguards to prevent the next Nixon from happening.
Back then, there were conservative Democrats and liberal Republicans unlike today when it's totally polarized thanks to decades of media further polarizing voters and now thanks to social media that has been put on steroids.
You have the President saying he hates his opposition, meaning the voters who do not support him, and he would not say that if that was not an extremely popular thing to say with his supporters.
It feels like we're in a Kubrick movie, with the half the country dehumanizing the other half.
RFK Jr. obviously.
Just as a Very Stable Genius assumes power again and plans to install anti vaccine nut job and brain worm host RJK Jr. to be in charge of the nation's health and "go wild" (verbatim quote).
Our future's so bright we gotta wear shades.
the capacity of a battery doesn't produce any power and therefore can't equated to what a power station produces
If a set of batteries is supplying 500MW of power to the grid that's not electricity that can be used in the same manner as, say, a 500MW coal plant?
And nuclear powerplants hardly EVER spontaneously burst into flames, consuming the building they're in.
But when they do it's a doozy!
Nuclear doesn't run out.
Tell that to France in 2022 - their nuclear capacity dipped to 55%.
gas, coal, etc doesn't run out.
The sun won't run out (for at least 1 billion years) and therefore wind won't run out.
Wind power is one of forms of power generation that effects birds the least. I'm not sure what forms of electricity you want to switch to that is 100% benign.
Except if they had said 50GWh you would have no idea how many nuclear reactors it could displace on the grid. Is that 10 GW for 5 hours or 1 GW for 50 hours?
Since the purpose (at least in California which is the #1 state for these batteries) is to soak up excess renewable power during the middle of the day and release it later, the assumption is the batteries are large enough to be able to accomplish that.
A 1 GW nuclear generates 1GW for 24 h a day
Not a French one in 2022 - their nuclear reactors had a whopping 55% capacity factor that year.
When comparing it to another source of power generation GW makes sense. As long as it has enough capacity to soak up excess solar from during the day.
Battery prices are expected to plunge 50% by 2026 so this buildout will accelerate.
New cheaper chemistries are coming out quickly. Natron Energy claims 50,000 charge cycles for their Sodium-Ion batteries which means their batteries could last many decades.
I still remember being told 2 decades ago no power grid could have more than 30% wind + solar on it or it would fail.
Batteries will get us to 100% if we want to.
