Well all valid points I guess. Better than GM plants running loose, but if no seeds come from it and it's "closed-source" you are at the mercy of the supplier for the next year.
If the UK negotiate to be part of the EEA within 2 years of activating Article 50, then it will be a smooth transition.

The other unknown that parent did not mention is how hard will the EU make those negotiation. Everybody economical interest is that the EU accept, even politically punishing an ex-member for leaving is going to have consequences in the EU and internationally ( Eurosceptic movement have been boosted by the treatment of the people in Greece and other countries)

However, that's a bit similar that the whole referendum but applied to Europe in general, EU may well take crazy decision. See for example how Junker is talking about the UK as if it has spit in his face (remember that's a narrow victory for Leave mostly based on outright lies), then meeting the Scottish PM forgetting the referendum from 2 years ago and even saying the "Brexit will not be an amicable divorce" and anyone knows that amicable in the context of a divorce does not mean friendly, it is only amicable by comparison with the destructive mess of going through legal proceedings.

edit: The number of EU people living in the UK is more than 3 millions, that's more than the 7 smaller member of the EU, that's more people than the difference between Leave and Remain (disclaimer: that also includes me) That's what make me the most uncomfortable with Junker, he does not care about the people, he just react like a kid because the UK is making him look bad.

I hate so much when rational discussion is replaced with emotional manipulation and tribal thinking.

The original source of this comes from:
http://supportprecisionagriculture.org/nobel-laureate-gmo-le...

Which obviously is from an NGO created by the GMO lobby. They are free to expose arguments but ending in "we consider this a "crime against humanity"" is this fallacy:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Appeal_to_emotion

I am not against GMOs but either for it. In the end is going to improve lives, but in the process experimentation will harm others(like with X-Rays with pregnant women, nuclear radiation, substances that are mutagens).

People are dying in India for lots of complex reasons. It is not going to be solved because of "Golden Rice". India has very fertile land, when I worked there as a volunteer the problems came mainly from overpopulation, pollution and inequality in big cities.

By "overpopulation" I mean "people against people" fighting for resources. Like Buddhist against Muslims, Rich versus poor or poor against poor, like people cutting legs or removing eyes from children so tourist feel sorry and give those bastards(that legs cutters) money.

I wonder how many of those Nobel laureates have lived in India, are Indians or have worked with them. Looking at a glance the names it seems the list contains more or less zero Indians names, so they have total ignorance in the specific problem.

Talking about 2050...by that time nuclear war could had been destroyed the entire wold, the West could had collapsed because of derivatives and debt weapons of mass destruction financial instruments, we could be using nuclear fusion for cheap energy in order to plant on Sahara dessert or Australia, or just using LEDs indoors in order not to need GMOs or pesticides...

Generally speaking, cops won't bother you for jaywalking in the Northeast as long as you don't obstruct traffic. They'll sit and watch you cross against the light. As long as cars don't have to jam on their brakes, the cops won't bother with you. As soon as you cause a hazardous situation, you'll get at the least a tongue-lashing.

In the same vein, pedestrians in the city of Providence have the right of way at all crosswalks unless a walk signal is present, in which case the jaywalking rule above applies.
I always find term "PC" somewhat inaccurate as not many PCs are actually personal. "Home Computer" reflects the true meaning much more accurately.

Thanks :-)
Does anyone have a good replacement for this? I somehow missed the original announcement and am now realizing that I'm one of those (apparently few) people who actually does use the API.

The other issue is whether we can trust their studies. They're notorious about fraudulent data to push their agenda. I remember reading about all the bribery happening at every level thinking it's probably overstated. There'd be way more whistleblowers or something. Then I see something like the $10,000 policy referenced below:

https://www.bostonglobe.com/metro/2016/04/05/new-england-jou...

The original article I read on that said they basically couldn't find enough people taking less than $10,000 from the institutions whose science or products they were reviewing. I'm thinking, "Holy shit! Almost all the "independent" researchers are getting enough bribes to buy a car. How is their validation in any way trustworthy?"

I had to stop there. Especially watching Monsanto's games with seeds and such plus history of hiding health dangers of stuff they intend to sell with bogus studies. I don't trust GMO's or about any highly-profitable thing coming out of such organizations until I see what they do to a lot of people over a long period of time.
Actually, no, I've never used C# except for a few minutes and only one time. I have more experience with the syntax of Scala and Rust. Between the two, I found Rust's more appealing. I like that enums serve a single purpose and can't be inherited.

Currently, the best you can get for iteration of Lists and Hashes is to do each-ing the way you'd go about it in Ruby, except that the language currently lacks iterators.

That's not to say I don't want iterators. But I've spent a huge amount of time of this release in making sure that all of the built-in classes get dynaloaded so that memory usage stays low. Now that everything's getting dynaloaded properly, I've less of a problem with doing iterators.
I do not agree at all. What is so hard about for loops? I do not agree that using the native-to-the-platform looping constructs will create as much code as half a megabyte. I'm looking at it right now: the full build of Lodash is 503KB. That's also half-a-meg of code that needs to be parsed by the JS engine. And nothing else you said has anything to do with site performance. Do users care if it took you 10 seconds versus 11 seconds to write a particular looping construct? Do clients care?
There was a huge amount of discussion of the actual post yesterday - but I dunno where it's gotten to. Somebody must have brigaded it.

You could add it as a fin, like BMW antennas. LIDAR is expensive and mechanically unreliable: you can't steer light electrically, so you need either a spinning motor or a phased array (under research). And isn't really needed after optical, radar and sonar.

I mentioned Ramda without having used it very much and I didn't know about the frequent API changes.

From my personal experience, I got very good results using LiveScript with its default Prelude.ls lib. LS supports nearly all FP-related constructs and syntax known from many other languages, and Prelude.ls, while smaller than Ramda, is quite complete, too. That's not for every project, though: introducing another language is a bigger risk than introducing a single library.

But I think would be solvable via regulation, not to mention that this is a different discussion entirely.

I don't think they are necessarily behaving in an irresponsible way, though. They are evaluating G.M.O.s with regard to health, safety, nutrition, poverty/famine and so on - not with regards to social and economical consequences (which I think would fall more within the purview of policy and regulation).

Ultimately, this issue is highly politicized, and the debate (including the comments here on HN) is often fraught with personal opinion.

I don't think that everything has to occur naturally for it to be good. There are plenty of deadly natural things. Arsenic is natural, hemlock is natural. We have been influencing the genetics of plants and livestock for millennia through selective breeding. If you have a good gene that can be transferred to a food crop and there are no patent restrictions I think we should do that. Roundup ready is definitely a bad one.

A "good" modification would require:

No patents

No suing farmers that grow your seed without a license/purchase

No boosted tolerance to plant poison

No convenient requirement that "improvements" rely on additional product that the company sells (eg roundup)

As stevedonovan says, the 'Spike' |> Cat is probably contrived. The feature probably exists for the sake of things like

It's a little jaring that it has both Cat(arg) and Cat.new(arg) syntax. But I wouldn't want to judge that without learning about the semantics that it emerges out of.

> "Asian, Jewish, or Mexican after 1 or 2 generations ..."

African-American's after 1 or 2 generations were slaves, after 15 generations were still slaves, after 20 generations didn't have rights, after 23 generations are over-policed and incarcerated at rates unprecedented in developed countries.

Maybe there is a difference between descendants of slavery and those who came to America voluntarily, with every legal protection, and without the assumptions that come with a 'black accent' or being from a 'black part of town'.

The Broken Window Theory will find crime in places with broken windows. Like going through your innocent looking girlfriend's phone - surveil, search, stop and frisk any neighborhood and you will find what you are looking for.

Please keep in mind what won't show up in crime statistics because they weren't illegal:

Kidnapping 12.5 million Africans, enslaving them, raping them, taking their children, hanging them, burning their homes, terrorizing them, denying their right to language/religion/reading/home ownership/voting/education/use the same classroom, swimming pool, water fountain, bus seat, restaurant, hotel as white people, and being forced to live in the "'black part of town' is always some rundown ghetto compared to the rest" otherwise known as segregation.

The solution isn't adoption by middle-class white families but by treating black people fairly before the law tells you to do so.

Voluntary segregation is a two-way street. When black people move to white neighborhoods, white people don't have to move.
I've found that when I've been stressed out or overly busy, it can take a while to adjust to a more relaxed rhythm. At first I just want to slack off completely. After a couple of days, this gets boring, but it takes longer than that for my motivation to come back.

> I'm willing to bet there are people over 65 doing all those things much better than you are currently able to.

Of course this is true, but my chances of being fit enough to engage in those activities at 65 go down with the passage of time, and from many factors outside of my control (accidents, major illnesses, something else...)

But there's a more subtle point. By the time I'm 65 I may not want to surf or mountain bike, but I do now.

I need to retire the 20 year old me, the 30 year old me, the 40 year old me .... so that I can enjoy some freedom at each stage of my life.

By the time I'm 65, I literally won't be the same person anymore.
I think you would be giving the Court too much credit for putting that much thought into their decision. And I think even more important we know how good the FBI is at "cyber" that there would be no issues in attribution of traffic to an IP address.

I agree let's not bash GMO on principle. But Golden Rice is not the silver bullet it's billed as:

> Golden Rice showed that beta carotene was produced at consistently high levels in the grain, and that grain quality was comparable to the conventional variety. However, yields of candidate lines were not consistent across locations and seasons, prompting research direction toward assessing Golden Rice versions such as GR2-E and others. [1]

Let's keep researching (whether GM or not) ways to make crops more nutritious and higher yielding (search dilution effect e.g. [2], [3]), not just more herbicide resistant. Let's get the cost of GM research down so that we can end the terrible business and ecological practices surrounding GMO.

While I agree that Greenpeace is not helping here, this article is too friendly to GMO. Ignoring Monsanto in an article about GM is totally disingenuous.*

Right? It seems trivial to tweak the judges statement:

"In today's digital world, it appears to be a virtual certainty that computers accessing the Internet can—and eventually will—be hacked."

To apply to houses:

"In today's mechanized world, it appears to be a virtual certainty that houses connected to the earth can—and eventually will—be broken into."

Thus, warrants need not apply for search and seizure in houses. QED.

I read the transcript of that video. He seems to be making conclusions about the Review of the Balance of Competencies between the UK and the EU that 1: the report itself doesn't make, and 2: I find very easy to disagree with (after reading a sample of the report myself, which is extensive).

The depth of his analysis (which goes no further than the Working Time Directive!) is about consistent with most self-proclaimed experts on Law that have never practiced it themselves. The same goes for his impartiality.

For instance, his conclusion that the UK is sovereign because parliament ultimately decides what the UK courts do is nonsense: what do you think would happen if our courts started ignoring the rulings of the ECJ?
That's highly unlikely.

Deaths aren't the only incidents you'd report in a drug study. Other adverse events are important, too. Tesla's one-in-130M-miles number isn't dealing with the fact that there are likely to be many, many more near misses, non-fatal accidents, times the car can't handle stuff and hands over control, etc.

With a proper trial, Tesla would have to document and report the number of times the radar missed semi trailers, the number of times the driver had to disengage and brake sharply, etc.
There is no commercially grown GMO wheat. I have no idea where you heard this nonsense. And within different non-modified wheat varieties, gluten content varies greatly. Ex. Hard, red winter wheat has more gluten and is often used as bread flour. There is no incentive to breed wheat for higher gluten content anyway.

Seralini and his "studies" are highly discredited. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Séralini_affair

The study you refer to, "rats fed with GMO food had developed tumors that were as big as their original size" used Sprague-Dawley rats, typically chosen in lab studies because the breed is known to quickly develop massive tumors regardless of other factors. The results in this study were not statistically significant, and were drawn from a sample size way too small, on a type of animal that is known to develop tumors on its own.

Furthermore, the numbers in the study actually showed that male rats who consumed glyphosate in their drinking water (because simultaneously testing multiple variables on groups of like 5 rats makes sense, right?) actually lived longer than those which did not, and all rats in the study grew massive tumors, even the control group.

If you're going to base an opinion on "science", please make sure you actually read the study and have enough knowledge to determine whether it's bullshit or not.

Thanks,
