The EU restricts agricultural imports, fixes prices and pays out massive subsidy for non-production via the CAP.

Perhaps market manipulation by the EU should be reassessed if the consequence is widespread and necessary use of illegal labour by some of the richest farmers in Europe.

http://www.europarl.europa.eu/atyourservice/en/displayFtu.ht...

Objectives

Article 39 TFEU sets out the specific objectives of the CAP:

1 to increase agricultural productivity by promoting technical progress and ensuring the optimum use of the factors of production, in particular labour;

2 to ensure a fair standard of living for farmers;

3 to stabilise markets;

4 to ensure the availability of supplies;

5 to ensure reasonable prices for consumers.

Ever heard of Amusing Ourselves to Death by Neil Postman?
A bit off topic: I watched a TV show, it was a competition for the best young chef. At one point they took the chefs out into the country side to cook somewhere, on the drive they got caught up in some sheep that were out in the road. All the chefs in the car looked around in amazement, one said, "This is where our meat comes from?"... I was just amazed. They had no idea how big a sheep is, or that it is a real live animal with feelings and a desire for food, shelter, comfort etc.

There is also a local farmers show where they let you come and see the cows. I love standing there and seeing the amazement in peoples eyes as they realise that cows are huge, smelly and hot. People touch them, they are fury and warm and nice. Yes, we kill them and eat them. There is a massive disconnect here. Urban farms are a really good idea.

Oh and third boring story. We had a friend over and we sat outside. We could hear the cows moo-ing. She didn't know what the noise was and was amazed when we told her. They moo because the farmer has sold the calves. It takes them days to mourn the loss. Drink up your milk.

[edit] I drink milk and eat meat. Not much, but I still enjoy both. I think the fact that as a society we 'hide' this from most people is wrong. Let people know about where their food comes from and let them choose.
I have been using Linux for a long time and while all the underlying criticisms of X and the desktop environments are valid I have to concede things have come a long way.

I think a modern Ubuntu 16.04 Unity desktop for instance is actually a bit of a revelation for long time Linux users because it just works out of the box. I didn't have to install a single package or fiddle with anything for a change. It's fast, smooth, robust and works exceedingly well out of the box and wait for this it's even a delight to use.

It's another thing I am a long time Gnome user and won't even have tried Unity because of the now I think inexplicable bad press Unity has got but it's been quite a revelation. I urge those who have not tried it yet due to bad press to give it a shot and prepare to be suprised.

I compare it to my Windows machines and OSX laptops and do not feel a particular difference apart from preferences and of course once you get into specific use cases like adobe apps or gaming there is still ground to cover. But for a general productivity desktop with full acceleration I think it's there in many ways. If you need a rich ecosystem of dev tools it goes to the top. There is of course always scope for improvement architecturally and other things and I think that is happening with mir, wayland and Vulcan.

I agree, if you want to learn something, you have to spend your time and focus on it. There is really no other way. I can accept it can be more digestible for many if it is packaged nicely in method X. Helping people learn is a very noble goal, but it should come with a fair warning there is no shortcut in understanding.

ClusterShell: scalable execution framework for large server farms
Don't remember where I've read this - maybe it was a recent HN comment - but it went like this: the only value of past atrocities is that they should never happen again. By being too serious about them, we're granting the much more significance that they deserve, which makes it more likely they'll reoccur in the future.

I find this an interesting point of view. That said, there's also the point to be made that portraying wars as glorious adventures, we're definitely not helping to raise a generation of people who want peace.

Come to think of it, it may be that we're not showing enough violence when making media about war. I remember watching "Saving Private Ryan" as a kid. The opening scene of the Operation Overlord shook me very hard. Since then, when I think of war, in my mind I have a picture of young people dying horrible, painful and pointless deaths, crying out to their parents and God as they hold their own guts in their hands. I think this level of graphic presentation may be needed to really drive the point home.
Neat, thank you for sharing :)

It's impossible to imagine the horror - even pondering the numbers of fallen in the first day throttles the imagination, let alone the horrific ways in which these men were murdered in swathes.

All the more tragic that many of these young men left their homes to see the world and experience the adventure of war. They had no idea what was in store for them.

"Acceptable Ads program" is a label that covers up the extortion of Advertisers & Networks. Also, if the USER were actually controlling/deciding what is shown and what isn't then i would have 0 problems with it. However, so far their practice of who/what they allow and what not is arbitrary at best. Im not talking about the automatic acceptable ads program. I'm talking about their closed-door deals that have been going on since 2015. Large sums of money crossed over to Eyeo's accounts from the big Google, Amazon, Microsoft, etc. to simply allow all their ads. Eyeo posted that they verify that these "agreements" are kept manually https://adblockplus.org/acceptable-ads-agreements
HA HA HA. Any reasonable person who has ever worked with ad networks knows that manually monitoring ads is impossible. When looking at their Team, they certainly don't possess the resources to do this manually. Basically, they accepted cash for ads.
Aside from all that, Adblock the plugin logs everything you do. From what websites you browse, to how long you spent on them, all the way to keystrokes. I heard they are even considering building a sort of Ad network since they have data on their users that NOBODY else can offer.
I get the whole blind fanboy-trust for things that you find useful, but i look at people not at products. And Eyeo has been fishy from the start. I have no doubt they will do whatever is necessary to increase monetization on their tool. The guys come from the Advertising Industry after all.

Seems like one of the auto-cancel scripts (probably one of the ones for fraud purposes) may have gone off the rails over the holiday. AdSense Ops is indeed global but presumably they're asking the PM/Eng team in Mountain View what's going on, since they wouldn't normally have too much visibility into these kinds of scripts except maybe some automated account notes the script leaves.

Because of the holiday I doubt anyone is in MTV to formulate a fix & response fast enough as it would likely involve corp comms, PM, PMM and other teams (besides eng to actually fix the issue). No excuses for it, but I'd be surprised if it wasn't being worked on now as surely someone probably had to come in last night to begin the triage.

Take away all the flash ads, the ads that start music (!), the ads that start video (!), and I will not block the site.
Stop splitting articles in 1000 pages because you need to cram more ads in and I will unblock the site. Stop pushing useless overlays and pop ups into my face and I will turn the adblocker off.

My first visit to a website is always with the adblocker disabled. The second visit depends on what ads I see the first time. Unsurprisingly I turn on the adblocker 95% of the time.
I prefer using CSS for my styling and javascript for my functionality, as God intended. These examples could be educational for getting a bit more out of your CSS while keeping only the pure functionality in javascript. Too much styling-related stuff seems to be sneaking into code these days. I like my concerns separated.

Logement: le carnet numérique soumis à un appel à projets
I've seen that Brexit tweet about the Yougov poll on distrust before.

The context it misses, is that this poll was taken in the middle of the campaign, when people already knew that these groups disagreed with them. There's no consistent way to say "I trust economists/Obama in regard to Brexit, but I also know that economists/Obama think that Brexit is a bad idea, and I think Brexit is a good idea." The easiest thing to give way in that narrow situation is trust but does that generalize?

I have my own opinions about what's driving Trump and Brexit, but I'm wary of people forcing their preconceived notions onto this issue.

For example, Nate Silver's 538 pointed out early on that Trump supporters are relatively rich. In the Brexit campaign, working-class Labour supporters who may be in the process of switching to UKIP are focussed on, yet the vast majority of Conservative voters, generally thought of as the party of the rich and selfish, and that has ruled the UK for most of the last 3 decades voted Brexit, and yet no-one wants to talk about that for some reason.
It's not radical. Given the fact that with 1 metric ton of soy I can produce several tons of soy milk that has better protein and micronutrient content than cow milk. Same can be done with peas.

With 1 metric ton of soy, I can't even feed these 40 cows for two weeks.

It's extremely inefficient system that I'm quite surprised the industry is still standing. Probably due to all tax incentives and brainwashing that cow milk is somehow necessary for human survival.

Guys, this article was written somewhere in between 2002 and 2005 (based on the author mentioning bitkeeper being used for the kernel). Someone edit the title to reflect this please.
My reasoning is that CSS is not a language, it's just a configuration file.

It doesn't have a console.log, but it has `background: red`.

JS as a language and as such ( especially it's callback / event-driven nature ) makes it harder to debug.
List of Mac Keyboard Shortcuts and Keystrokes
I think you're wrong on both counts. Specifically:

1. It doesn't have to be writable for everything. The $HOME/.config gives a nice abstract separation of what's "mostly readonly configuration" and what's not. (home files, runtime data, etc.) While it doesn't buy anything right now, just separating the configs into a hierarchy allows us to do interesting things like system-wide notification/approvals of .config writes. It's not impossible in the flat world of "all dot-files live in $HOME", but it could make generic solutions easier.

2. Windows registry is just one implementation of an idea. While it cannot provide more protection than files at the moment, it does have ACL capabilities, so there's no reason a different implementation cannot extend this idea to checking process identifiers in some OS-specific way. For example imagine linux registry as a dbus service which can have calls filtered at selinux level. You can access /usr/bin/foo settings, /usr/bin/foo can read those settings, but /tmp/malicious/foo can neither read nor write them, even though it runs as your user.
So, the opposite of alchemy then. Cool. Will now read the article to see how they did it. Oh.
I agree that the user controlling which were "acceptable" is a good idea, but that's basically whitelisting. My first thought was to have a crowd-sourced list of acceptable ads, but that's pretty easily gamed. Then, it becomes a race between the adblock developer and the people trying to disrupt the system and that's a lot of work just to decide what's acceptable.

This is exactly why I slowly shifted my amazon purchases to their prime-now app.
With that service, Amazon seems to only offer the most successful, products in each category, significantly reducing the burden of choice it puts on me.
It also does not include products of third party sellers, which decreases the risk of accidentally buying knock offs.
The experience of buying e.g. Apple accessories on Amazon's main website is horrible, on prime now it is effortless and safe.

>however they could be moved out of the way of the hurricane and moved back afterwards.

This is fairly impractical. It is one thing for an individual moored structure to be moved from the path of a hurricane (e.g. a moored semisubmersible, as is done in the Gulf of Mexico), but an array of dozens of unwieldly floating wind turbines is something else entirely. Removing each would require several vessels and several hours for hook-up and seabed disconnect(once removal vessels are on site, which could take quite some time). Then they'd have to be towed slowly to safe waters, and somehow moored again or towed around continuously.

I.e. X11 working in same way as Windows, OS/2, BeOS, MacOS, OSX, etc.

No, it's not. OS X has GUI isolation, an application cannot read keystrokes or read other application's contents, unless you explicitly give permission to do so. This is the reason why applications that can do more, such as Alfred, require you to explicitly enable these rights in the Privacy section of the Security & Privacy prefpane.

Windows also has GUI isolation (UIPI), but it's a bit murkier. As far as I understand, lower-privileged applications cannot read events from higher-privileged applications.

A fun exercise - while you might not _need_ JS, it's still the best option in a lot of cases.

Cheque writing software, written in COBOL.

Got the work through a family friend, it's his business. I had to learn COBOL (managed through Visual Studio these days thank god) and have ended up contributing to the main application, converting Microsoft c++ and c# examples into COBOL, e.g Gdi32 printing, windows forms, wpf and so on.

Luckily as it's Managed COBOL and based on .NET you can call classes written in C++/C# so I've been doing that where possible!
