Ask HN: What is your backup plan for laptop if you have windows 10 laptop?

I have a windows 10 laptop and am pretty concerned the unstable updates will one day break my laptopI want to have some backup planLike Alternate OS Any CD or Pendrive which can just boot into a OS when windows breaks?But i don't see a clear plan available for this. Because when i had a alternate OS installed my previous windows update ruined it and made it inaccessible.Given its a 1000$ device...

A brain is not equal to a computer or a processor.

You will never get the answer if you look at it from a narrow minded perspective.

A brain is equal to billions of processors connected in a highly naturally efficient network functioning almost effortlessly.

Something along these lines seems like a plausible comparison to a brain.

What is a brain is not equal to a processor but a neuron is equal to a processor?

>> Cultured meat production requires a preservative, such as sodium benzoate, to protect the growing meat from yeast and fungus. Collagen powder, xanthan gum, mannitol and cochineal could be used in different ways during the process.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cultured_meat

This is what wikipedia says.

They are all bad for health and simply used to extend the life time of a product beyond its natural lifetime so that the seller does not loose the money and with no other healthy intent.

15 grams or not. Why eat it when there can be better choices.

So instead of working on improving this process we are totally jumping ship to a artificial process? So basically we have given up on such a simple task of raising good cattle which our ancestors have been doing for centuries because some scientists found some cool trick to multiply cells in the lab and are looking for ways to push their cool inventions on the masses to feel good and important?

Poorly growing cattle is a real problem, The more people stop purchasing such products and move towards responsibly sourced and grown chicken or other animals that provide meat this problem can be solved. But why not work towards such a right solution and look for shortcut and artificial solutions like lab grown meat.

How can a lab grown meat and a animal that naturally grow be one and the same?

My answer too is No. I am just concerned poor materials being introduced as food in the image of doing good which may mislead many who don't look deeper.

What gives you so much motivation to be that data?
Re:Ask HN: Will you ever eat meat that is grown in lab? on Tuesday April 10, 2018 @01:30PM (#16803209)
Just wondering what could be the reason many think lab grown meat is a food when no other food falls in that criteria. Haven't got any convincing point yet. Only some distracting ones which become clear on the second read.

Is there any other lab grown thing that we have eaten?

Re:Ask HN: Will you ever eat meat that is grown in lab? on Tuesday April 10, 2018 @11:20AM (#16801995)
What is meat? Can you please elaborate?
Re:Ask HN: Will you ever eat meat that is grown in lab? on Tuesday April 10, 2018 @11:18AM (#16801972)
Are you in the lab grown meat industry?

Don't lions eat meat?

>> long term health effects

Does it mean 100 years of data. Shouldn't we see 100 years of data before we decide on whether something is safe to consume. I am sure we have 100+ years of data that consuming naturally grown chicken meat is healthy.

Re:Ask HN: Will you ever eat meat that is grown in lab? on Tuesday April 10, 2018 @11:13AM (#16801930)
The whole process is artificial.

What if we stop eating chicken and then they go extinct?

Would those who caused this by switching to lab grown meat feel bad about it?

And if they go extinct then is there any net benefit in we stopping to eat them?

Re:Ask HN: Will you ever eat meat that is grown in lab? on Monday April 09, 2018 @02:51PM (#16795821)
Any idea why they wont have any disease? Because they are not even a living entity. they are just a non living thing, like a stone or sand or plastic or shells in the ocean. Would humans be inclined to eat a non living thing? As a living being i think we should be eating other living beings, like a vegetable or organic salmon...

If we can easily believe that eating lab grown meat and real living natural food is same then why don't we believe fake news as real? They also sound real, they also have words, they also have websites they also appear to have likes...

This effort to make the boundary between nature and artificial disappear isn't it like making ourselves disappear, are we humans not natural beings?

Re:Ask HN: Will you ever eat meat that is grown in lab? on Monday April 09, 2018 @02:48PM (#16795794)
Raising an animal and growing a piece of meat is entirely different things, they don't compliment each other.

Raising an animal is giving it natural food and let its different organs do its work and let it grow into full animal by using natural processes that has been happening for ever.

Lab grown meat is using artificial process to force some flesh to grow which we recently assume have figured out n force ourselves to believe its authentic, This is something that we have found in last few years.

Why would anyone believe a noob tech when there is a grandiose nature in the picture.

>> like with normal chickens you have no idea what exactly what they ate, or how they mutated.

like with lab grown chicken you have no idea what chemical process got misunderstood/ abused, what particular pound of meat did not go through all the process, and how the human error got over looked, and what decaying factor is involved in this...

How come in the same species one crowd can be thinking organic/ natural/ home grown food and other crowd can be thinking lab grown meat...

What if all the lions in this planet think I couldn't stand killing a deer?
Re:Ask HN: Will you ever eat meat that is grown in lab? on Monday April 09, 2018 @02:32PM (#16795636)
Don't you think a lab grown meat is something that is 100% antibiotics?

It is odd how one says Yes without a doubt to something that one eats, but also is aware of being unaware of its health effects.

It is very scary though...

Don't you think we should eat something that is guaranteed to bring good health to us...

Re:Ask HN: Will you ever eat meat that is grown in lab? on Monday April 09, 2018 @02:30PM (#16795613)
Why settle for the at least? when we can have the perfect one.

I think there are things beyond just craving, Y isn't it about eating the most healthy food?

If we care so much about "an animal being killed" then what to do to tigers and lions and other carnivores.

I think a lion eating a deer feels more natural than a man eating a lab grown thing.

Why this much push into loosing our nature? Apart from capitalism could there be any other reason?

Re:Ask HN: Will you ever eat meat that is grown in lab? on Monday April 09, 2018 @02:25PM (#16795568)
So basically you would prefer to eat any artificial thing which matches the taste and nutrient or a natural food?
Re:Ask HN: Will you ever eat meat that is grown in lab? on Monday April 09, 2018 @02:23PM (#16795556)
If it's not slaughtering animals then its not meat.

Its like suddenly some one comes and calls some thing meat n then we order 2 of those.

Vegetarian is a reasonable alternate if we don't want to slaughter meat. Meat like tasting vegetarian alternate is also reasonable. But lab grown meat is the most unnatural thing. How does eating a thing which is 99% unnatural constitute as eating food. Its just eating a thing.

There is a crowd which wants to avoid as much artificial things in food and eat natural food and there is a crowd which wants to eat 100% artificial thing like lab grown meat.

I wonder which crowd will win in the end.

If you have ever tasted Ladoo, I am sure you will upvote and share it shamelessly to as many people you know and even those you don't and do your deed to pay credit to the most delicious yumminess you have always craved for.

And if you haven't tasted i would sincerely recommend you to give it a try in some good quality shop and don't forget to thank me if i am the one introducing you to Ladoo for first time irrespective of what Google decides.
