Plant-based meat substitutes are becoming increasingly popular as the quality increases and costs fall. You can even buy an Impossible burger from Burger King now. This situation has clearly caused some alarm among meat producers, and they’ve dug up some old pseudoscience to try and convince people that meat substitutes are bad for them. A livestock trade publication called Tri-State Livestock News (TSLN) has resurrected the claim that soy causes feminization in men. Don’t clutch your pearls — there’s no . The covers several points, none of which are free of spin. Veterinarian James Stangle complains about protein measurements, GMO status, and more.
It’s something of a minor miracle that the internet has expanded to cover the globe without being chopped up into incompatible blocks that can’t talk to each other. Russia is taking a significant step toward doing just that, though. Russia’s Ministry of Communications confirms the country has , known colloquially as Runet. Russia has been vague on exactly how Runet operates, but experts believe it would be similar to the systems already in place in countries like China, Iran, and Saudi Arabia. Authorities claim the test went as expected and regular internet users didn’t notice any disruption in services.
Ever since Intel announced Xe, its next-generation graphics processor, there’s been speculation and discussion about what kind of GPUs the company would bring to market. Ice Lake’s new GPU is an important step along this path, with its substantial performance uplift and Gen 11 graphics. There have been rumors that Intel’s next-generation 10nm CPU, codenamed Tiger Lake, will have 96 EUs — and a new bit of information suggests at least one model of Intel’s upcoming dGPU will feature that many EUs as well. Hot Hardware this data via Twitter user Komachi. Komachi found the following document on the European Economic Community (EEC) website:
CES 2020 is fast approaching, and manufacturers often like to have a few surprises in store. There’s a rumor that Intel will unveil a new laptop cooling method at the show, with cooling performance gains of 25-30 percent — though that may only be in comparison to existing fanless designs. According to : Traditionally, thermal modules are placed in the compartment between the keyboard exterior part and the bottom shell as most key components that generate heat are located there. But Intel’s design will replace the traditional thermal modules with a vapor chamber and attach it with a graphite sheet that is placed behind the screen area for stronger heat dissipation.
Gearbox President, CEO, and all-around forgetful person Randy Pitchford got into a fight with the head of Microsoft’s Xbox division over the meaning, nature, and current applicability of Moore’s Law, including whether or not it still exists in the first place. Merry Christmas. Let’s get to it. First off, Xbox lead Phil Spencer tweeted about how the slowing down of Moore’s Law meant that software innovations like variable rate shading (VRS) are going to be important in the next generation. DF does good work. As Moore's law slows and our perf ambitions increase it leads to design innovation.

Video gaming is basically a giant bag of tricks designed to simulate the real-life environments around us. As such, developers have had to create methods of simulating ideas like weapons fire and hit effects. There are two main methods for doing this — hitscanning and projectile ballistics. Over at Gamasutra, Tristan Jung at the two methods, comparing and contrasting their implementations and why developers use them. Hitscanning is based on raycasting, which fires a beam from the muzzle of the gun and measures if it strikes anything. If the engine determines that an object was struck, it reports a bullet impact.
It seems like there’s a new data breach every month, and people are rightfully worried.

Approximately 7,000 years ago, a group of ancient humans built the first-known seawall in an attempt to keep rising tides from innundating their village. It’s the earliest known structure of its type and it shows how Neolithic communities attempted to adjust to the massive sea level rise kicked off by the ending of the last Ice Age. The wall is , a settlement in what is now Israel that existed some 7000 – 7500 BP (Before Present). A number of Neolithic settlements have been found submerged off the coasts of various countries — the earliest human settlements were often near both oceans and rivers, and older settlements are found farther off-shore than later ones, illustrating how sea level rise at the end of the last ice age impacted human settlements.
