It's good that fertility rates are decreasing in developed countries since this world is already overpopulated. People talk about labor shortages but these are small problems compared to overpopulation.
It's not that carbs are bad, it's that people are a lot more sedentary than in the past and eating more calories. Carbs are an energy filler. That's good if you actually need the energy.
It's also incredibly wasteful. They come boxed in big styrofoam boxes. I suppose the market is a particular kind of yuppie poseur who has more money than integrity.
Using recipes is more expensive than just winging it. You can just throw together what's on sale or what is seasonal. And winging can be less wasteful since you can use what you have on hand. Also, I don't really find food that is crafted from recipes to be any better.
The linked article completely ignores quantity of food when comparing the supermarket price to the restaurant. The amount of groceries listed is sufficient for many dishes, compared to one for the restaurant.
If you are willing to eat leftovers for days, it really doesn't take much time or money to cook. Just make a big pot and eat it for a week. Sure, if you want to get all extravagant, it's gonna take time and money. But then it isn't fair to compare it with fast food.
What's the point of a half-assed solution when a full ass exists? This will only serve to marginalize full end-to-end encryption. Did NSA pay for this one?
Well, quite a typical feature of Capitalism is that the governance is captured by corporations. I'm not sure what fairy tale capitalism you were thinking of.
Yeah, but suppose they do upgrade the local grid to handle higher demand. And then, over time, the people who use more actually cost less per watt due to economies of scale. And then you have a system which encourages people to be wasteful.
To solve a game means you know the optimum move to make (and therefore know the winner of the game from the start). Deepmind has only defeated humans, not solved the game.
My understanding is that we did away with firing squad out of sympathy for the executioners, not sympathy for the condemned. Though, I recall reading that in a firing squad, one of the rifles is loaded with blanks, so that the shooters can take some solace in being not sure if they killed the person.
The new iphone update will contain a routine to brick the iphone if it was repaired. After all, why would people buy new iphones if they could simply repair their old ones?
But you can do much worse with unicode urls. For example visit this (safe) page which appears as https://www.apple.com/ in the Firefox address bar: https://www.xn--80ak6aa92e.com... If Slashdot could support unicode, then the link here could also look like https://www.apple.com/ . Of course, slashdot doesn't.

I find the fresh baked bread is not substantially more expensive than the sliced conditioned crap. $2 for a baguette. $3 for a boule. $4 for a loaf.
2) There is also evidence to suggest that eating out can be cheaper than eating at home for many.

When was it NOT the year of the Linux supercomputer?

So the "easy way" involves getting disappeared to some secret torture facility.

Requires a lot of capital investment.
Not very smart if you are investing in something that may go poof any day.
negative externalities.

How about this instead: Charge enough to cover costs, and don't worry about what customer is doing with it. They paid for it, so it is theirs.
So, when you say "costs", are you talking about their personal costs, or the cost + externalities?
Apple doesn't have a monopoly on phones. Apple customers deserve what they get.
Looks pretty bad. Honestly, any attention is good attention for this level of project.
Nah, I'd say 50% false. Bug is defined culturally and scientifically, so half of it is right.
Anyone who is sending encrypted mail is going to be using plain text, right?

I mean, it's gonna fail anyways, but now we'll pay for it.
