Surveillance models.

Doing the bare minimum research would tell you 6% of Americans live in a food desert and 14% live in "food insecurity" but you clearly have no interest in understanding the issue.

5,000 units of apartments is not mixed use so unless there is more to the story you're leaving out, this is not mixed use.

Yes, trains are much more efficient than busses.

I used to live in a food desert. Glad to know I imagined it and lived in fantasyland.

And now Trump and the GOP want to further increase debt by adding billions to ICE budget which is what this current shutdown is about.

Many people do not have more than 1 grocery store as an option.

I won't say I never see it because I do but the reason you rarely see it is Bernie Sanders. The DNC played dirty when it came to Sanders in 2016 and it tainted Clinton's entire campaign and it really continues to taint the DNC to this day. A lot of Obama to Trump voters would've voted Sanders and progressives never forgot or forgave how the DNC treated Sanders.

Just a reminder that the YC funds many of the companies pushing these laws and building the surveillance state.

Trump kidnaps a sitting president of a foreign nation after months of conducting strikes in the Caribbean. This is not a war but calling him "averagely warmongering" is just wrong.

I guess one of the Koreas should watch out since Trump might want to end that "forever war" as well. Flip a coin to decide which one.

You assumed they are against density and not just mourning a nostalgic place for them?

Funneling lots of money to the AI-Military industrial complex has been accomplished

I remember before the election I read a few people on HN say Trump is the most anti-war president they have ever seen and that all the talk about him letting Israel flatten Palestine was fearmongering. Wonder how they feel now.

Is GPT 5.5 the best in the field? I think Opus is still better despite Anthropic's recent stumbling.

I don't know many if any YIMBYs who are opposed to density. I know people who are opposed to density being seen as only apartments and condos.

I don't mind VC funding as long as they aren't YC funded.

Portlanders do not think this. Survey people in Portland and you'll find they want trains as well. NIMBYs don't and NIMBYs make up the majority of people who actually have the time and wealth to go to city meetings.

The idea that if I don't do it, then someone else will doesn't excuse you from making unethical decisions.

I just wish the US would build trains. All I want.

I know. I'm noting that Google could fight this. They just won't.

It makes sense when you realize the goal is not the consumer but large gov and enterprise contracts.

You don't think Google having control over the most used email, most used browser, most used search engine, most used video website, and most used phone OS gives them immense power?

They likely will but even for them it will be a long fight. State AGs are suing to stop this acquisition in droves. Even if States lose, which I expect they will, I don't anticipate they will get CNN before midterms like they want.

Google holds immense power in their position. Trump can make their life very difficult but Google can make life for Trump very difficult as well. They have no need to kneel, they are choosing to.

She is but in a way that's what makes the book fun. She is very flawed protagonist.

Few people can afford to give a shit. Most people are getting the cheapest meat and dairy they can get from Walmart.

I'd recommend checking out Serious Eats for Kenji's "Vegan Experience" recipes. He has some tofu recipes for omnivores that I really endorse. His tofu banh mi is divine.

You don't need to give up anything just reduce. I don't drink alcohol at home but I'll have a few drinks socially. If having a burger socially is what you want to do then do it.

> What is the answer to feed everyone during these budget constrained times? It can’t be tofu, can it? There are just too many of us.

You are very wrong here by orders of magnitudes. The US produces about 5 billion bushes of soybeans. 1 bushel is around 60 lbs. Having made tofu myself, depending on the type of tofu you make 1 lb of dry soybeans is anywhere from 1.5 to 2 lbs of tofu(remember we are adding water to the mix so we increase weight). If 1 bushel is 60 lbs and we produce 5 billion then we have 136 million metric tons of soybeans which makes 272 million tons of tofu which is enough to feed the entire US several times over.

This doesn't even begin to touch the amount of food you can make from the byproduct of tofu, soy pulp which is itself a food in some countries.

I'm not suggesting we actually do it but to answer your question of "is tofu the answer," it could be. The vast majority of our soybean crop was sold to other countries until Trump tariffs made China switch from us to Russia. I'm not sure what the current status of our soybean production is but we have the crop production to feed the entire US.
