Agree. In this regard, think about how procedures changed following Chernobyl, or consider how the various "Broken Arrow" events (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_military_nuclear...) have influence nuclear policy.

Can you expand on how this would come to be, in practice?

Valid. Different messaging for different markets perhaps!

I think the best angle is the one given in the title: 90% less greenhouse emissions, 99% less water, and 93% less land.
This is an approach that provides compelling meal options in a manner that scales much better than our traditional livestock methods.

Not OP, but I've gone through the E3 process a couple times. First as a change of status, second as a new applicant. You have to prove two things: 1) the job is a specialty occupation, and 2) that you possess the necessary skills and qualifications for the position. The rest of the application is a walk in the park.
Regarding the general perception of E3, I've found that very few people in the U.S. know about the E3 visa class. You may need to educate your employer a little.

IMO, there's room for both approaches, perhaps with the exclusion of the most the irrational situations as you describe. It's unreasonable to expect engineers to bring battle-tested solutions to the table 100% of the time.

While drones are indeed still susceptible to a multitude of bad weather scenarios in the air, they do bypass several major scenarios on the ground that frequently interrupt supply lines like flooding, fires, avalanches, etc.

The parent comment didn't make the case that the CEOs of these companies are Republicans - they were referring to the beneficiaries of the lobbying.

Definitely agree with that. Was looking for a page in the overview section, to drop a link, but that entire topic seems to be gone?

Scala still has several differences to Java including a stronger type system, traits, pattern matching, and implicits (love them or hate them.) Java is definitely closing the gap on some of the functional aspects though.
Edit: Where did the basic docs on type bounds in Scala go?

This construction makes for a nice undergrad talk. Back when I was in college, my math club held a "Brisk walk through Topology" lecture and was able to pull a fairly large audience from both the Math and CS colleges.

You may run into issues if the petitioner is the same as the beneficiary.
