Shot on 400,000 feet of film, with three movie directors and 300 actors, it is probably the most expensive TV series ever made south of the Rio Grande. HBO executives wouldn't release the exact cost, but said that one episode of Capadocia costs about the same as 250 episodes of a typical telenovela - which are shot on video, in studios and with a few on-salary celebrities...
...technology to produce in vitro meat is almost in place, says Mironov, but "there are bottlenecks" in the process - namely scale and cost. Given the current technology, it would cost $1 million to turn out a 250g piece of beef. The problem boils down to producing a cell-culture medium in large enough quantities at a low enough price (it's the same problem facing tissue engineers who are attempting to grow artificial organs for human transplant). So, two weeks ago, an international group of experts assembled in Norway for the first In Vitro Meat Consortium symposium to talk about...

One potential solution, which Blaze and Bowling Jr. suggested, would be to give inmates a barbiturate that would be lethal but painless rather than the three-drug combination.

Universities should make an effort to shoulder the burden of copyright costs that hike up the price of textbooks...
...about “enhanced interrogation techniques”—known more colloquially as torture—in itself stands little altered by these developments: It was clear long ago that torture produces little or no useful information while at the same time coming at a great cost to America’s moral authority in the world, also leaving captured American soldiers at greater risk of mistreatment...
