The real benefit of artificial non-descript meat sausage will be ending overfishing? I'm assuming you mean when they come out with artificial fish meat, but I can't find any mention of that in the article.

There already are artificial flavors, even artificial meat flavors. McDonalds french fries are sprayed with it. The reason he wants to make this a burger isn't because they've made artificial cow, it's because the artificial meat has the consistency of ground beef at best.

It most certainly is. Vegetarian bacon, while good, does not taste like bacon. And bacon with all the fat removed does not taste like bacon. It may be good, but it's not bacon.

Don't worry, when costs go down there will be plenty of marketers giving it plenty of 'appetizing' names. Let the scientists stick to the science.

If they hadn't made this judgment, would there be anything stopping you or I from legally attaching GPS devices to government official's cars and recording their movements?
They should overturn the ruling and make it fair game for anyone to track anyone else. Then we can make google maps mashups for tracking each other and government officials.

I can't tell if you're being sarcastic, but if not, why then would they regard their formula as such a secret that the only two people allowed to know it may not fly together in case the plane should go down? As a diversion form their business practices?

There is a huge difference between a permit and an agreement with the DEA.

"In fact, the United States (and most other nations) expressly prohibits the sale and trade of coca leaves. In order for Coca-Cola to continue to exist in its current form, the company has a special arrangement with the Drug Enforcement Administration"
The article makes it seem as though Coca-Cola has an exclusive arrangement that involves funneling leaves through a chemicals company. It doesn't mention anything about Stepan being the only chemical company that can process the leaves for other reasons.

So coca-cola has a legal monopoly on the use of an ingredient. Seems like pretty unfair business practices to me.

Sure, I guess if you fundamentally misunderstand MVC but not in the real world.
You don't have render your view on the server, using a js framework is perfectly fine in MVC. There are plenty of rails plugins to make this even easier and I whole-heartedly disagree with, "Rails-style MVC frameworks have a horrible routing solution for RESTFul JSON APIs". Rails has simple routing that works great for restful resources and auto renders json that can be easily overridden.
Having a unified/standardized REST interface for web services would no doubt be nice, but it's existence has little to nothing to do with MVC.

Cheesy opinion piece by a dude who doesn't seem to have even read the legislation. Plus, why is it written in the 3rd person?

don't think it touches vendor prefixes.

it's pointless to blame anyone else but ourselves, the web development community
I disagree. To me this is a complete failure of the W3C do do 3 things:
- Come up with a solid plan for the deprecation of vendor specific tags.
- Convince browser vendors to follow it.
- Move fast enough with the CSS spec.
None of this is good for consumers, the only way the airlines make money off insuring things is if we loose more of it in the long run, and none of these expenses are large enough to justify the payment. Just like the service plans at best buy.
