Just use the search term "blended" and "vegan" and you'll find a ton

Don't be a douche, it was a good analogy.

I know it's probably a custom order, but don't they have a cast which is more similar to the end product that they can use, saving them time by skipping a few steps?
Care to explain?
A lot of snobbish comments here IMO, coming from Europe I'm getting an image of the Midwest as a place where 99% people work in agriculture and don't know how to read or write.
Not Germany.

I don't think "Parable of the broken window" captures the essence of our economy, it only mentions the handyman receiving 6 francs, and not him paying his suppliers, them paying their suppliers and so on, his tools, his rent, his taxes, etc.

Re:Cards Against Humanity is digging a hole in the earth on Saturday November 26, 2016 @10:34AM (#13044033)
I think the interesting thing about this is to think how weird our economy functions, because at the end of this, all we will have is a net gain for the economy and an empty hole.
Re:Visual Studio for Mac Preview on Wednesday November 16, 2016 @01:14PM (#12969681)
But don't you need Xcode to build stuff for iOS, macoOS, etc.? How do you integrate the two and is it worth it?
Is that netto amount?
It is, but honestly most of HN is r/iamverysmart

Internet and the flood of information. Vegan population soon reaching a critical mass(every friend circle has a vegan). And then when people have someone next to them who is vegan for x+ years and healthy they will think it's a maintainable lifestyle. Also, anecdotal evidence, just a year ago a vegan post on a forum (i.e. Reddit) would get downvoted into oblivion and posts like 'bacon tho' upvoted, when today, more often than not, it's the opposite

Because feeding meat to 9 billion is unsustainable and the only reason we are able to do it now is because of the huge subsidies. It has terrible environmental effects and it's morally wrong since the only reason people still eat meat is the taste and tradition. I expect a huge paradigm shift here. For more information you could watch documentaries like Cowspiracy and Earthlings.

Veganism becoming mainstream, shunning people who are not vegan

Like the people who clean your buildings, so I can assume companies will stop using cleaning services? If some job needs to be done it will be paid.

No, because the floppy is on 1% devices and the usb is on 99,99%, not really a fair comparison
Re:How to Create More Women and Minority Tech Founders on Sunday September 25, 2016 @10:27AM (#12575457)
Not sure how to feel about this, are there any laws that prevent minorities and women to become tech founders? Just don't discriminate people and that should be enough. As accepting only white males into certain programs would be considered racist, so is this IMO.
Re:iPhone 7 on Wednesday September 07, 2016 @03:50PM (#12446838)
Yeah, that would be the case, if it only were not for the dozens of just touchscreen phones before the iPhone came out. IMO, this could be the beginning of the decline of Apple (since smartphones make majority of apples profit)
