It's difficult to get past what comes across as an attempt to analytically substantiate moralistic reasoning. The contention that it's scandalous to raise capital to support an "automated future" then a dotted line to transhumanism and then the conclusion "it's a sham" feels shoddy.

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned Golden Rice, developed in the 1980s, which offered similar nutritional benefits. Golden Rice failed to gain significant traction because of dogmatic opposition to bioengineered foods. Personally, I hope Golden Lettuce receives more pragmatic review and support.

I wonder if this is a cyber incident. Curious if any telecom folks know what the most likely explanation for an event like this would be, and what telltale signs/symptoms might first indicate this was caused by something nefarious.

Reminiscent of Snow Crash by Neal Stephenson; any chance you have read that book recently? If so, there is additional comedy in the fact that, perhaps, Stephenson's meme reappeared in your dream.
Re:Ask HN: I'm a non-technical CEO of 20M startup that wants to learn

Thank you all. To synthesize:
- learn what I want to learn, probably by speaking with team to prioritize
- leverage team + online to structure learning, starting high-level, 'courageous play'
- periodically look for current weaknesses, or future strengths, from [lack of] operational integration within company (likely a benefit of technical learnings)
Ask HN: I'm a non-technical CEO of 20M startup that wants to learn
I read HN daily, and feel a schism between non-technical articles and deeply technical posts. I want to bridge that gap. Where would you recommend I go to find stepping stones that would make the technical posts more accessible?Since I help run a growth-stage SaaS business, I have a true vested interest in growing my technical knowledge.
