The CEO of Vow, George Peppou, is taking a very different approach from these competitors. Rather than asking customers to pay $71 a kg for frozen shredded “chicken”, he says the company is embracing the high cost of cultivating cells by creating products to match the price.
“We selected going with these very high end products, very high end positioning … as a way of trying to shape and influence food culture as much as possible,” he says. While foie gras prices fluctuate significantly, at the time of writing Vow’s Forged foie was cheaper than the real deal.
I like this, just like how Tesla's first release was a roadster - it's not supposed to replace a Camry, why make a Camry with half the range and 4 times the price?
Start at the expensive end, match the quality and then work down.

I've read that enough youth are just taking the surcharge and loading on the chin that insurers have started to worry.
I'm not young, but I'm doing this.
My tiny ideological stand.
Me: Hi, I need some high quality components, you know better than office stuff, and I'm willing to pay a premium. Company: Great, we have a huge range. And as a bonus we've covered EVERYTHING in LEDs! Me: Err, can I get the good mechanical switches and silent fans without LEDs? Company: Ooh, that's a SPECIAL item! 3x the price!
The concept of direct brain interface is both exciting and terrifying.
We struggle to secure offline systems against determined attack, and my brain is not a test bed.
Back in 1909 The Protectionist Party and Anti-Socialist Party put aside their differences to take on the Labor party, which was seen as Socialist.
The founders wanted freedom (Liberty) from what they saw as Labour Union dominion.
Funnily enough, an actual Libertarian party has since popped up and the Liberals challenged their name with the AEC, which as I said is funny because the Electoral Commision correctly pointed out that if ANYBODY has an incorrect name, it's the Liberals.
It needs to be mandated that if you own a rental, it will have a battery and solar setup of a minimum size.
Otherwise renters are a key demographic that will miss out on this.

Finamp beta works with android auto (although I've experienced a bug when starting finamp from the android auto screen).
Hopefully the current Hackathon makes it even better: https://github.com/users/jmshrv/projects/5/views/1
Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony.
You can’t expect to wield supreme executive power just ’cause some watery tart threw a sword at you!
I mean, if I went around saying I was an emperor just because some moistened bint had lobbed a scimitar at me, they’d put me away!

If you "vibe code" your way through trial and error to an app, it may work.
But if you don't understand what it's doing, why it's doing it and how it's doing it?
Then you can't (easily) maintain it.
If you can't fix bugs or add features, you don't have a saleable product - you have a proof of concept.
AI tools are useful, but letting the tool do all the driving is asking for the metaphorical car to crash.
