bl0rg··on Beyond Meat is struggling, and the plant-based meat industry worries
Why? Because I love(d) meat. It's the closest thing I can find, while still being vegetarian. Does that make sense to you?

I think "Impossible Tartar" or "Beyond Tartar" was referred to here, not actual beef tartar.

Perhaps to cater to people who love meat but won't eat it? What's hard to understand about that? There are plenty of great tasting vegetarian options, now there are plenty of faux meat options as well. The more the merrier in my opinion.
bl0rg··on MAR1D: First-Person Mario
Since his eyes are on the side of his head he should only be able to see the perimeter of his eye sockets, if any light managed to reach them. Mario is blind :(
bl0rg··on Super apps are proliferating across emerging markets
Sounds kinda nice when you put it like that.

bl0rg··on Increased wind turbine rotor blade visibility to reduce avian fatalities
Is that supposed to be an actual argument?
bl0rg··on The world map that reboots your brain
Unless you live in four dimensions, of course. Not that I do, I'm definitely a creature of three, and only three, spatial dimensions.
bl0rg··on How and why I built Japan Dev
Maybe it's a 6 month long test to prove that you can handle your finances without that bit of extra money? That said it sounds like a really stupid test.
bl0rg··on The Reason Why Are Trucks Getting Bigger
You sound quite confident for someone lacking data.
bl0rg··on Where does energy go during destructive interference?
Same. I love that feeling.

Photons bend spacetime even without having mass.

Earlier you said: “You are confusing what we "see", with interpretations that don't occur in the eyes. That's even why you put the word "see" in quotes. You used the wrong word. The word "see" explicity refers to what is observed by the eyes, not our later interpretations.”

Are you saying that the brain interpreting signals from the eyes (real-time) cannot be affected by past experiences (i.e. interpreted)?

If that’s not what you’re saying then I’m not sure what your opinion is, feel free to re-state it if you want to have more pointless discussions ^^

bl0rg··on Younger Dryas cosmic impact of 12,800 years ago (2018)
The water erosion hypothesis is not supported by enough evidence.

A strong piece of counter evidence is that they have dated the temple near the Sphinx (built at the same time according to both pseudo- and real archeologists) and it corresponded perfectly to other estimates.

The technique they used is called thermoluminescence dating and is incredibly interesting in itself.

One is allowed to hold right-wing opinions.

Wouldn't that make the word "see" essentially useless since we cannot know what we've seen?

"I saw a cow outside" - "No, you perceived a cow. You have no idea what you saw because you cannot access that information."

Does this seem like a good definition of "see" according to you?

huh, I always thought it meant "Lets greet the man"
bl0rg··on ACLU: “Elon Musk's Decision to Re-Platform President Trump Is the Right Call”
Of course. How is this relevant to whether it's "right" or not?

Awesome.

Agreed but chill dude, no one needs to suck anything.
bl0rg··on Elon Musk owns 9.2% of Twitter
*couldn't care less. Unless you mean that he could care less, implying that he cares somewhat. Perhaps even a great deal.
bl0rg··on Show HN: The Billion Dollar Homepage
I have no idea.

But the system is certainly conducive to "pump and dump" - whatever the NFT equivalent is called. A malicious actor can just artificially inflate the prices (by trading between different accounts, no money switching hands) and sell whenever a moron comes along and places a bid.

Happy to be proven wrong.

bl0rg··on The universe has already made almost all the stars it will ever make
Tech moves so fast now. While I don't believe we'll be leveling off anytime soon, it's worth considering the possibility of it.
