It was obviously about the James Webb Telescope.


FWIW I've only seen that abbreviated as JWST


Yeah I use B2 with rclone (https://rclone.org/) and it works great.


Most of them do, I believe.

I know MN and WI do.



It's kind of blowing my mind how different the prices are state to state. $900 for a family plan in New York? I pay $1600 in MN for my family plan in MN.


It’s the same cost in NY. The “$900” figure given elsewhere is either outdated by a decade, or the plan is heavily subsidized by the employer. $1,600/mo is the minimum a self employed family would pay.


I can't speak towards repairablity and legality, but I know cars are safer now than they used to be back when they were made of steel, because they crumple which absorbs the impact of crashes. Rigid steel transfers the impact to it's occupants.

I'm eager to see how this thing performs in crash tests.


Ah that makes sense. I'm interested to see how it performs there too


Modern satellites (included Starlink) are much better at this than they used to be. However it'd be nice if there was some treaty, agreement, or body that defines and maybe enforces proper retiring of satellites and management of space debris.



Yeah I always wondered if you could ever get accurate enough measurements from cameras and position of stars at night or sun during the day with an accurate clock.


Agreed. I'm in the middle of moving our code base over to the plugin above. I figured the Typescript + Decorators Component API was a dead end, so it'd be easier to transition from the plugin to Vue 3 when it eventually came out.

It's been a breath of fresh air when working with typescript.


It integrates just fine with old Vue 2 components. So the transition is very simple, much like Typescript.

I don’t think most people critiquing the new composition API have really tried it. This is not something you can get a good sense for just by looking at RFC API style docs.

It encourages better modern JS and simpler code which really matters in large projects. This brings Vue closer to simple JS functions instead of giant magic-y options interfaces, while still being fundamentally the same with templates/computed props/lifecycle/etc.


Yeah "Better for people" could mean that it's better for people's environment due to lower greenhouse gas emissions.


Poe's law in full effect, I'm genuinely unsure if this is a joke. "Better for people" reads to every layperson as "good for you".


Also Beyond meat's main product page (https://www.beyondmeat.com/products/) literally says "better for you": "Imagine your favorite meaty dishes like burgers and tacos delivering the juicy, delicious taste you know and love, while being better for you [...]".


Does it, though? I would assume they would say "Better for you" if they meant it was healthier, and "Better for people" if they meant it was better for humanity as a whole.

I guess it could be read either way, though.

edit: although looking at the actual pdf, it says "better for people and the environment", which hurts my interpretation of the wording.


I'm with tshannon, unsarcastically. It might even mean better for people morally, without affecting the person physically at all.


My point though is, if that is what they meant, there is an obvious difference between what was said and what they mean in normal interpretations, and I'm almost inclined to believe it's purposefully deceptive.

There are much clearer ways to state that, like "better for the environment".


Yeah it's extremely weaselly no matter what. It doesn't make any particular health claims, plus it says they "looked for" such ingredients and does not claim that they found them or used them.


"Better, for people!"


To Serve Man


It says "Improving Human Health" in the leftmost graphic on https://www.beyondmeat.com/about/, and they list specific medical ailments under that. Only a lawyer could try to make the argument these weren't pitched as better health options than burgers, and even then, I would not want to be that lawyer.
