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.

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.

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.

Note that I am not concerned about the fact that the project was started by one person, nor am I dismissing it altogether.

The author of this project is most definitely a smart and capable individual. However, at some point this project will reach a point where it requires more work than one individual can achieve, hence the question regarding official support - is there any financing, plans for new contributors, etc.

Will Lightbend be supporting this project in any way?

The reason I ask is that I see on GitHub that you are the only contributor so far. This project is quite a large commitment for a single person, I'm hesitant to play around with Scala Native without knowing more about future plans for support, milestones, etc.

Having said that, this project looks awesome. Nice work so far!

I agree that the current graphs from Spotify don't support this. They do seem to show a one-to-one mapping between events and messages emitted. Given the comparison in my GP, I think that client-side message collation/aggregation would be a natural next step.

Note by "queuing and batching" Spotify may be aggregating events client-side. Given that messages are priced in 64K increments, it would be most cost efficient to to get each message as close to 64K as possible.

i.e.

  # serialized: 1 message, 1 op
  publish("['foo', 'bar']")
  
  # instead of:
  
  # a) 2 messages, 2 ops
  publish("foo")
  publish("bar")
  
  # b) 2 messages, 1 call, 2 ops
  publish("foo", "bar")

I wonder if withholding pricing information is simply a negotiation tactic that exploits the sunk cost fallacy. If not, funnel conversion rates should be invariant of the stage at which pricing is disclosed, right?
