Yeah, they kind of blow past light sheet microscopy, but I'm optimistic that this can still be quite useful. There are brain banks with already donated brains that we could use to learn about diseases, and I imagine many organ donors would be happy to have their brains sliced up for science.
Mozillas effectiveness at diverting/absorbing/stopping other community initiatives that could actually impact google - worth the dollars from google's point of view.
People usually overestimate what they can do in a year and underestimate what they can do in 10 years.
Perception is reality. This is true of how you see the world and how people see you.
Convenience is like sugar - it is sweet and addictive and adds less to your life than you think. Finding ways of doing things that build connection to your community rather than cut you off (Prefer farmers markets to grocery stores and grocery stores to meal-delivery kits) will give you opportunities for meaningful connections every day.
Oh, and try mushrooms, but take them seriously and have a guide you trust and respect sit with you.
https://signal.org/android/apk/ and it appears to work without Google Play Services (though push notifications drain more battery iirc because they can't use the google push notification service)
I mean yes, but Signal needs to grow up and decide if it's going to find a way to play ball with business, or stick to it's ideological purity and weird cryptocurrency experiments (I use Signal solely for all my messaging now).
Supposedly Signal received ~$600k in donations in 2018 while spending ~4M in infrastructure costs[0], so OP is suggestion they do regular revenue generation via in-app features and whatnot instead of cryptocurrency stuff.
From Bacteria to Back and Back follows a similar path and was a worthwhile read for a layman like myself. It emphasizes the evolutionary fitness of ideas as well as biological evolution.

More rich people in and of itself is not a bad thing, and as you say, having a baseline level of wealth in a nation leads to huge quality of life improvements.
Sure. You want businesses you deal with to make profit, otherwise they won't be around to do business with in the future.
In industrial supply chain, if you have two suppliers who are each charging the same price and you know that one is making higher profit margins, go with the one with higher margins - they're more likely to be stable.
Some profit is useful for saving as a cushion. But in general remember that profit is money that the business literally didn't find a way to spend, to the extent that they're willing to throw away 20% of it as tax.
I'd rather deal with a company that ploughs surplus back into salaries or R&D or even charity than squandering it as profit.
Cows should still be treated humanely and only have one bad day (when they're slaughtered) since they're clearly capable of suffering, but ignoring the difference is a little dishonest, intellectually.
