How dare you take away my right to be outraged at tech giants....

Parents algorithm always works, the one described has a massive failure mode - people slowly learn that they are likely to say 7 and self-censor by picking another number. Or maybe in a different culture the distribution changes (say China and the numbers 4, 8).

They explicitly state that they don't really know how it affects proteins, only that they are changed in "complex" ways.

Here is one example of a protein change which is deadly: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prion

Except this presentation explicitly states that they don't really know what it does to proteins, only that the changes are "complex".

And you can turn your argument around. Why everytime "science" is involved, the immediate presumption is that it's safe, especially when it's done for profit and when we know you can pay to get whatever "science" you want. Remember the many studies funded by the food industry that showed that sugar is perfectly safe and that fat is the dangerous thing?

We've been eating heat cooked food for millennia. We know it's more or less safe, and we have evolved suitable enzymes.

We've never eaten stuff which went through such a high pressure process. This is not your average pressure-cooker, look at the numbers.

We have no idea what eating this stuff does long term, just like micro-plastics for example.

Yet people here seem to be cheering and jumping head-first just because it's cool technology.

You know the old saying: I would never fly in a plane designed with software using floating point.

I think it needs an updating: I would never fly in a plane with software written by $9/hour coders.

This airport legendarily had all the lights on at night despite nobody being there for months because they couldn't figure out how to turn them off.

I was shocked when I recently learned that the vast majority of Europe is at a higher latitude than New York.

The way maps are usually shown makes you think New York is up there with Sweden.
