I've always wondered what's going on from a technical side. Is it some sort of "signal delay adjustment protocol" that instead of speeding up and distorting the speech of the speaker like happens on video calls, these call center tech companies have chosen to just drop an entire second from the conversation? Or is it some other glitch?

It also has a decent rundown of modern American ones (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planned_community#Modern_plann...).

You'll have to use your own judgement on a case by case basis if they were successful or not and if they meet your personal definition of master planned.

But I found the lists a very interesting read.

And while you're right that the current market for these sea vegetables isn't massive, chefs are starting to work more and more with them which is shifting cultural acceptance.

Traditional seafood gets a lot of its "Fishyness" from the sea vegetables at the bottom of the ocean food chain. So you can create a lot of beloved seafood flavors just using sea vegetables. As ocean populations decline, traditional animal based seafood is going to get more and more expensive and I predict there will be a demand for a cheaper way to experience those flavors.

And as chefs get better at utilizing these ingredients and if more and more farmers and companies start to get involved with growing these plants, i'm sure industry marketing initiatives will ramp up just like you see ads from the "Peanut Growers Association".

But basketball seems the opposite to me. Analytics has shown that except in a few superstar cases, back to the basket isolation mid range jumpers while the rest of the team stands around and does nothing (IMO the most boring play in basektball), is a terrible play call.

Analytics has shown that the pick and roll is a fantastic play in terms of points expectancy and I find it to be a really enjoyable play to watch because it often results in dunks and nifty passes or acrobatic layup attempts.

Analytics has shown that faster pace, shooting earlier in the shot clock, and getting out in transition more often to be hugely valuable strategies, all strategies that I think are more enjoyable to watch.

The perceived value of 3-pointer shooting has caused offenses to spread the floor creating more driving lines and making it harder for defenses to pack the paint which has created more offense which I think most people enjoy seeing.

I'd love to hear what you think analytics has done to make modern basketball more boring.

So theoretically this will have a very similar nutritional profile to farmed or caught salmon. At least thats one of the goals of the lab grown meat sector.

It fact, it might even have a better nutritional profile because it won't be exposed to ocean contaminants like mercury and plastic.
