Should be read as...

> Arvind Krishna: "I will make sure your career suffers"

Probably not going to attract a top tier of talent with that attitude. And do all IBM's customers happen to be in NY around their headquarters? How does he expect that to work anyway?

Comment A review: yes because it doesn't taste like meat (Score 1) 282

Here's a review for people who haven't had one yet...

I have tried the Beyond Burger both as purchased from the supermarket and in fast food chains and restaurants. From the supermarket, I noticed that it didn't really cook like a burger. My wife and I definitely had to treat it more like hash browns rather than a meat patty which had enough fat to keep itself from sticking. I think out of the entire pack of four patties, we got one good one and three which turned into hockey pucks. It didn't really taste like meat either, neither of us could identify what it actually tasted like - just that it wasn't bad. It wasn't good either. I suspect the marketing really hurt it here. By associating it so strongly with "meat", when it doesn't taste like meat, it's a huge disappointment.

Figuring that it was just us, we ran out to a fast food chain to try their beyond meat hamburger. This time we could identify the flavor: Both sandwiches we ordered tasted distinctly like carrots. This is through all the other stuff Burger King throws on there. It was definitely carrots. It had some nice char, but it was carrots.

Finally we tried the Dunkin' one. They were using it as a replacement for sausage in their omelettes, so it wasn't bad. At least the carroty taste sort of blended in better with the egg bowl rather than being front and center for "this isn't beef". It was definitely within the realm of something you might eat and not notice the substitution if you were a bit openminded about what a breakfast bowl would taste like. The problem here is really that the veggie taste, which is OK in this format, just seems silly. Why not order it with extra veggies or no meat at all and stick to less processed options?

Comment What is ethical (Score 1) 513

Noone is going to buy it simply because guns are a mechanical thing and adding batteries to them is a bad idea. Just look at how many people can't keep their cellphone charged and that's the obvious reason not to do this. But more seriously - who decides between a band of rapists and their would be victim? Is it ok for the rape to happen because the victims life wasn't in danger? Is that somehow the "best" outcome? Is it a mass shooting if some young woman shoots three rapists? And how is the AI going to judge the intent of the people not holding the gun? Skynet sometime soon?

Yeah so their side of the story is that the guy was being selfish and trying to get sweet sweet movie and media deals while leaving the rest of the moderation team out of it. when the mod team formed a corporation to hold the intellectual property jointly, he refused to join it and held onto the domain. In response to him being a greedy fuck, they created https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fpatriots.win%2F He did end up getting some media attention, but he's pretty much the Simpsons Comic Book Guy: https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fpatriots.win%2Fp%2F12hR7Ve...
