Early experiments with in vitro meat had no muscle tone. (Past stories here have pointed this out.) The closest natural experience would be eating a fetus—not exactly good steak.
That can be fixed. One way is by running electrodes through the meat and stimulating the muscle while it grows.
Suppose I invest $1B in researching a new drug, getting it through FDA approval, and bringing it to market. Then you immediately offer a generic version that is exactly the same composition.
Except that "you" can't "immediately" offer a generic version. You still have toget all sorts of approval from the FDA.
If you're not gonna spend it, they'll need to tax it. So start spending, or we'll have to try Socialism.:-P
What do so many Americans have such fear/hatred of Socialism?
Because a lot of people have ancestors who fled socialist countries.
Because the biggest experiment in socialism failed to last 90 years, and the last 45 years of that was propped up by leaching off East Germany, Hungary, Poland, Czechoslovakia. as well as states absorbed ionto the USSR such as Georgia, Chechnya and the Ukraine.
In about 5-7 years is a pair of tablets. Each 12", a 12"x11" version of the galaxy note 10.1, the other a 12" version ( with similar aspect ratio ) of the Nexus 10. With swappable battery packs. ( Cell phones used to have swappable battery packs until around the time of the Iphone I wonder why people tolerate the lack of them ). For $200.
In that time I expect that this can easily met but the thing that will cause that is projects like this.
is that Henry Ford made his car to burn crude oil extracts (gasoline, diesel )[1], because these extracts were plentiful byproducts of processing crude oil. Even if we stopped using crude oil entirely for energy, we would still need it for rubbers, plastics, dyes, synthetic fibers, pharmaceuticals, etc.
As for wind power, the energy just doesn't come from nowhere. The energy comes at the cost of reducing the wind, which reduces the strength of the jet stream and the rotation of the Earth. The result global derotation [2] and weather stagnation.
Solar power is problematic. It's hard for an apartment dweller to use solar panels -- limited sunlight. As for using them in large tracts -- every acre used for solar panels is an acre taken away from growing green things that collect sunlight for photosynthesis.
To sum up this part, I suggest that anyone advocating for renewable energy learn the second law of thermodynamics.
The funniest thing however is that most of the people screaming about renewable energy are the ones that most oppose the one technology which has the greatest potential to displace oil as an energy source: nuclear power. I even remember when Clinton was first elected, he severely cut of funding to Argonne used to study safer ways of using nuclear power. Note that was not funding for nuclear power, but for studies to make nuclear power safer.
[1] as opposed to wood or coal. Automobiles could have used these, locomotives already did. [2] If the warming chicken littles can blame blizzards on global warming I can claim derotation.
I don't know if it has ever been published but if yopu can get your hands on old analogs. Oh yes, and "Rails Across the Galaxy." It has some slightly questionable scenes though, but nothing major.
This was my first thought, a non adult book with a lot of actual science in it. My only objection is his wonder at tons of 0's at the end of distances.
Space Cadet is another good one.
Then there are collections of Novellas and stories by Heinlein.
The guy was found when they let people out of their houses and one of them stumbled across the guy. If they had let people out earlier would he have been found earlier? Funny thing is if they had waited until night to lift the ban he might have slipped away.
What's more consider what happened. The people hid from one militant guy. Compare this to 1776 when British militants walked on a town. Citizens decided to gather together to oppose them despite the risk to their lives (, and many did die ). Boy how this country has changed.

Tell that to Aaron Shwartz.
Sounds like WD knows they have to write the drivers for WIndows, but for Linux they will just let the community do it. Saves them money.

If you search Geekhack I think you can find a mod that will make one.
Yeah but mechanical bluetooth keyboards are hard to find. At lest for now.
Plus I hate to think of dragging my RK-9000 with me to use with my GNote 10.1.
OTOH if I really needed to type a lot it would be worth it, and the Surface Pros don't come with real keyboards either. Just that rubberdome garbage.
Mechanical Bluetooth keyboards are hard to find for the iPad? Really? Really? Are you sure about that?
Not one of the keyboards you list is a mechanical, moron.
Wow a minor miracle.
BIll Gates notices that IPhone users are frustrated because they have to buy a bluetooth keyboard to type a lot.
Too bad he didn't notice that for two decades that Windows users are frustrated because their computers keep crashing.

Well--read the first few chapters of "Ethan of Athos".
When I'm getting too old to safely drive one.

According to Twain: THose who can do, those who can't teach.
But what about those who teach the teachers?

and some assholes, well OK, asses are cutie then others.
Think Haley Mills in "The Family Way".
Hmm. I wonder who is going to be served with divorce papers in the next week.
Why would rednecks care about the Wizard of Oz?
They are not in Kansas anymore. Opps nevermind.
I don't know if it has ever been published but if yopu can get your hands on old analogs.

Don't remember who wrote it but that might be interesting but very dated.

Not bigamy group marriages, including the main character.
Also while there are no descriptive scenes, there are a few scenes where people sleep together.
Plus people may find some of the "politics" objectionable, like the idea that if a person is rude enough it is OK to eliminate them.
Actually I was referring to Concord and Lexington. Yeah I know I got the year wrong. i realized it about three seconds after I sent off the post.
Whereas in the incident I referred to amateurs dud the job against the pros.
