Comment They don't taste like they used to (Score 5, Informative) 130

I know that peaches, peas, carrots, strawberries and other fruits and vegetables sold in stores have little taste compared to what we got half a century ago. I suspected that that meant a reduction of nutritional value and this confirms my suspicions. It is frustrating when a nutritionist says I must eat more fruits and vegetables and I say they don't taste like they used to and the nutritionist has no idea of what I am saying. Now I have evidence of what I am trying to tell them. The solution is not to tell us to eat more. The solution is to grow them (harvest them) like they used to. Currently they try to make fruits and vegetables taste good by adding sugar.

Comment Laws of physics (Score 5, Interesting) 17

Astrophysicists assume that the laws of physics was the same when the universe came into existence. That assumption could be invalid. If the speed of light was different, for example, then we would need to know what it was back then. I think a better investment is further researching gravity.

Comment Some advantages of Rust (Score 1) 93

Memory safety is a benefit of Rust that is commonly attributed to it. Another one is safer multithreading. Rust has a unique way of managing memory. It does not use garbage collection like C# does. It does not require the programmer to explicitly delete objects. It deletes heap objects automatically much like the way that items in the stack are removed. It does all that using ownership, borrowing, and lifetimes. Rust has a built-in package manager and build system. Microsoft has two Rust compiler backends. The original one is LLVM and is open-source. Microsoft has a MSVC codegen backend for Rust for internal use only that bypasses LLVM and interoperates better with C++, especially in a Windows environment. Using the MSVC codegen backend, Rust code can be intermingled within C and C++.

The world is less vulnerable to attacks by Iran such as in this article. Image how much damage Iran would have done when they were ready to and had the capability it had before. There is widespread belief that Iran should never have a nuclear weapon. California Governor Gavin Newsome says so. There is also widespread opinions of how to stop Iran.

Comment Location of microphone (Score 1) 160

I do not trust any mechanism provided by LG to disable the microphone, I am tempted to physically disable the microphone. An important question is where the microphone is. The Magic Remote has a microphone, if it is the only microphone for the TV then I can just stop using it. If the TV has a microphone in it then covering the opening for it might muffle it sufficiently. Otherwise the TV must be opened to get to the microphone. I am not asking for help, I am saying this in case it helps others.
