Have you considered something like https://github.com/hickory-dns/hickory-dns? Not that everything has to be built in Rust.

"With novel technologies like precision fermentation and vertical farming, we could further shrink our “foodprint” by at least three quarters, thus freeing up more space for nature to flourish."

That is just silly speculation. For example, vertical farming may just be a vehicle for impact investors in silicon valley to diversity their portfolio into the new hot mega trend of saving the planet.

Its hard to justify a high-tech intensive verticle potato farm as net effective than just having half the mouths to feed from a traditional potato field.

Evolutionary adaptation takes a while, so its not nice to change things fast.

Is this person an economist or something?

So when they calculate differences in environmental barriers across continents, it seems important to take water ways into account, which would lead to eurasia having an upper hand over at least NA and Africa. I'm not saying that Diamonds original argument holds, and its great that they try to test the hypothesis.

It's a lot of exciting new problems to handle though. How do you conserve biomass, preventing it from rotting without using excessive energy. Kelp is high in iodine, so for human consumption how do you get it out? Labor is very expensive, so how do automate seed production and harvesting? And how do you find a market and ship the product there?

Please eat fish that is pelagic such as herring and sardines. Otherwise long-line fished cod and salmon are fine as well as farmed fish.

Often these bubbles are depicted as hype cycles, where you have inflated expectations of a particular technology, which show disappointing real world performance leading to a dip in confidence where ultimately a long term productive solution emerges.

Another way to think about this process is to take an evolutionary approach to technolgy development. Initially there's a lot variation of various firms trying to solve a particular problem, each with their own solution based on more or less novel technology. The issue is the selection phase where the technolgy competes in the real world and compete not only against other technological solutions but in a sociotechnical system including e.g. regional institutions such as local culture, regulations, politics, markets that are often aligned with the existing industry. Ultimately one or a few solutions are retained and integrated into our collective infrastructure and provide a consistant solution to the original problem, and in a capitalistic model - profitable returns.

Eating chicken or some other meat is not better than eating fish.
