I've had a lot of different kinds of fake meat over the past 20+ years, although I'm predominantly a meat eater. When it comes to burgers Beyond Meat is by far the best.

I wouldn't even consider eating a different type of fake burger other than Beyond Meat or Impossible Burger. But while the latter has a more authentic texture I find it more bland than the real thing and consider Beyond Meat superior in this regard.

Not saying others don't legitimately find Beyond Meat disgusting, I can see how they would, but I think if you were willing to try the Impossible Burger it's worth trying Beyond Meat before writing it off as terrible.

One thing the article doesn't seem to touch on much is how much the environmental impact of cats and dogs could vary with what we feed them.

They're obligate carnivores, but not all meat sources have the same CO2e footprint. Chicken is several times better than beef, and other sources like mussels are better than chicken. Insects could be a useful source of protein in cat food; cats in the wild often have insect rich diets and house cats don't seem to mind eating them.

Sorry, didn't realize I wasn't logged in here...

Political trolls are going to be in for a rude awakening if they think they can Trump their way through entrenched congressional districts, especially if they aren't wealthy celebrities like he is.

Wu made a thread for personal criticism in the hopes that it would be contained there. When this didn't do anything and instead resulted in people accusing her of false-flagging she didn't stop and explain but did the same dumb thing she always does: erase everything and pretend it never happened.

She is running in a solid blue district. Her only relevant battle is against the long-term Democrat incumbent she will need to primary against. On the off chance that she wins this battle (due to extremely low mid-term primary turn-out - she's even telling her supporters she can win with as few as 4000 votes, although that's completely unrealistic) I can just about guarantee that she will be a weaker than usual opponent to whatever Republican runs in the general.

Supported Sanders? Please.

Jack Thompson was mentioned. Thompson received an incredible amount of online attacks and threats, to the extent that he prosecuted against death threats from one 16 year old.

https://web.archive.org/web/20...

This was reported lightly in the gaming media at the time, and with a very neutral tone. Same as instances of game developers getting death threats from unhinged people who were set off by something. This didn't blow up in the media at the time.

If women in gaming get more threats and harassment for being women in gaming, completely divorced from how publicized they've become (which is absolutely going to amplify that effect) I haven't seen solid research to demonstrate it. What I have seen is when Brianna Wu received a string of threats on her twitter (which also including threatening to castrate and kill her husband, something I've rarely seen reported) many outlets reported it, some within minutes, and by the next day she was doing interviews with major organizations. To say that the quantity and tone of coverage overshadowed that given to Thompson is an understatement.

And I can't even say this is all due to Wu's circumstances and the topicality of the story vs Wu's connections. I find it a little odd that she's able to also get this level of media coverage in announcing a bid to primary a Democratic congressman before he's even formally entered his next term (for anyone wondering, Wu has not so subtly revealed she'll be running against Stephen Lynch). One of the major hooks is that this is game developer who is supposed to have a higher familiarity with tech, but when it came to her actual game's recent PC release I can't find a single outlet covering it, let alone reviewing it.

That's not what the article says.

"Separately, reporting hateful conduct will also help Twitter better process reports from bystanders, alleviating the burden on the person being subjected to the abuse, Harvey said.

Second, Twitter has retrained support teams, offering sessions that teach the cultural and historical context to help moderators recognize hate speech, and has put in place an ongoing program to refresh employees on abuse and update them on new forms of it, Harvey said."

If they didn't care about policing hate speech in the past they sure will now.

In what scenario would the cities on the coast be the only ones that matter?

Look at New Hampshire. It's worth a measly 4 electoral votes, only 0.74% of the electoral college, and still a fairly small amount of the total swing votes reasonably considered to be in play. And yet we saw quite a lot of campaigning and canvassing going on there because it was a very competitive state in a very competitive race (which most presidential races these day are) and at that point every bit that could be secured mattered.

In this election the popular vote was very close, off by only around 1%. Even the counties that are the deepest shades of red or blue contain some often significant fraction of people who could be convinced to vote the other direction. This is especially true in the modern era where people are easily exposed to information well beyond their home town. If one candidate managed to successfully gain votes among this minority over the other they could have very realistically turned the election. This is why a lot of real minority blocs are important to campaigns today; the majority is not considered "enough." Even if they currently only matter if they're in swing states and can tip the election.

The largest cities would have the biggest low hanging fruit, but the campaigns will reach diminishing returns where they feel like they can cause more of a shift in preference and turnout in increasingly less populated areas. Especially if they can reach large swaths of them at a time by appealing to their more unifying values.

This is very different from the winner-takes-all method employed in most states, where the people who voted for the non-majority party literally contribute nothing to the outcome, and in the large number of states that are very entrenched and slowly change affiliation they can know ahead of time that their vote is a waste. Appealing to the minority voters in those states is a waste of time.

Few decent mobile SoC released in the last several years use an 8-bit or 16-bit memory bus... today most of them use dual 32-bit, ie 64-bit. They're not using DDR2 either, typical is LPDDR2, LPDDR3, or DDR3/3L.

You don't need an NDA to download the ARM architectural specifications, you just need to register on their site. Which you need to do for MIPS as well.

By the very same (terrible, mind you) reasoning you would have to say that men are also coerced and cajoled into accepting traditional intercourse. So what's the story, are men and women mutually raping each other?

I don't think they really have any legal standing, but that doesn't mean that they can't coerce Google. I just can't really see why Google would ban yongzh instead of just removing the emulators where they've (allegedly) received complaints from copyright holders. While they may have some interest in making an example of him or sticking to a pretty zero tolerance terms of service on this they're also depriving themselves of a substantial amount of income.

yongzh has received a relicense for gpSP by me, the sole copyright holder of the source he forked off of (he isn't using any code from any of the other forks). So Gameboid isn't violating any license agreements. It getting pulled is either at Google's discretion due to complaints against the owner in general or, more likely, Nintendo pressuring him. Remember, Google makes money off of his sales too. I doubt they'd remove emulators that didn't directly correlate to any particular person's specific complaint (nor would they take a complaint from some random non-copyright holder seriously). Nintendo, on the other hand..
