I take a very different stance on GMO products than most people I've talked to. I am a support of GMO products and think they are critical to protecting the food supply. I also think that any GMO food sold should be required to release the genome with a FOS license. I think that our food supply is a common heritage and rights to use and work with it should not be restricted to a few corporations.
They phone home (to Google Analytics) by default: https://github.com/Homebrew/brew/blob/master/docs/Analytics....

It's pretty ridiculous. They're giving Google a map of everything individual users install. The only reason it's "anonymous" is that they're relying on Google to throw away personally identifying data before Homebrew sees it.

It's unreasonable to demand that a new solution be "equally simple". History is full of simple solutions that aren't good enough that get replaced with more comprehensive yet complicated solutions. HTTPS isn't as simple as HTTP, C++ isn't as simple as C, democracy isn't as simple as monarchy, the courts aren't as simple as mob justice.
Similarly, I live in VT and have small food producers and farmers all around me. These products are also available in grocery stores, but when you can qualitatively observe the differences between the land and growing practices of GMO farmers and organic farmers, the choices are not presented in such a flat way as when lined up on a shelf.

GMO doesn't really do anything that nature can't do.

Any risks in GMO could also arise naturally via evolution.

If evolution could produce super plants, then it would have done so.

Good spot. A lot of my skepticism of this industry revolves around the repeated, rampant careerism within it.
I'd argue that you could learn to read code carefully, understand what it's doing, and write good code without losing the convenience of syntax highlighting.

Unless the color scheme you were using really was so garish that it hindered your ability to improve your skills as a software engineer, in which case you could probably find a more subtle color scheme that would give you the same benefits as turning it off did. I've heard great things about the solarized color schemes. I use wombat myself.

I'd add WiFi to the list of wireless technologies Apple is too incompetent to implement properly in their laptops along with RF and Bluetooth, but it was already on the list for a few years now. These are the kinds of problems I wouldn't expect a cheap netbook to have, let alone an extremely overpriced, pseudo-pro Apple product. It's finally obvious to everyone (I hope) that Apple's engineering and product design has fallen to shit. I'm sure they will continue to make profits selling their current mediocre and future garbage products, but it's clear to me that Apple always was and probably forever will be Steve Jobs' company. It might survive without him, but it will probably never thrive again, just like it never managed to thrive without him in the past. They had a great ten year run in the laptop field and for that I'm grateful to Apple, but it's clearly been time to move on for a few years now (just based on the declining quality of their software, software which they were never good at writing outside of OS X up to a few years ago). RIP.
Has there ever been a company that built this kind of hype over years and then in the end actually delivered something truly revolutionary? Judging from companies like Cuil (not sure if the name is right), Segway or Color they will fizzle out once their product gets on the market, if ever.

> If inflation is 20%, and you're earning 3% interest, your losing purchasing power.

Yes but I think the point the person you're replying to is trying to make is that it doesn't matter because the inflation rate is not dependent on where you put your money.

Shouldn't the comparison be to the interest rates and risk with comparable places to put/invest your money? I suppose if inflation were extremely high or low compared to interest rates then it would affect your appetite for risk vs interest rate, but I don't think that's the case here.

The sources mentioned in that article are ALA, which have conversion rates to the desired DHA/EPA that vary greatly between individuals [1]. Typically, something like 5% of ALA is converted to EPA and even less is converted to DHA. It's better to eat the preformed DHA/EPA rather than relying on the conversion.

My understanding is that this is partially due to different pasteurization processes. Organic milk is heated at a higher temperature and for less time, than the pasteurization process used for non-organic milk. This carmelizes the sugars in the organic milk, making it sweeter. The process is also the reason why organic milk lasts longer on the store shelf.

We don't require you to take ownership of any directories that already exist when macOS is installed (i.e. `/usr/local` subdirectories but not `/usr/local` itself). Regardless of whether we should have picked another path, changing now would require rebuilding all our binary packages and that's a lot of effort with little return and almost certain breakages.

Sure, but on an evolutionary scale, humans and other dependent species have time to catch up to the changes. That's not true for changes wrought from GM.

It's a security risk. Having user access to /usr/local allows me (or, more to the point, an attacker running as me and not root) to surreptitiously replace system binaries, some of which may be run by other users. Some of those other users may have access to parts of the system that I don't have. Some of those other users may even be running as root.

/usr/local/homebrew/bin. Or even better /opt/homebrew/bin. Or even better, a path that is set in an environment variable.

You need to consider real returns only if the inflation rate varies between things you're looking at, i.e., across countries or time.

Yes. The difference is between applying and producing pesticides.

Several GMO crop strains are specifically designed to produce pesticides or fungicides themselves, which offers more powerful effects and saves the effort of applying those chemicals to the growing plants. This is generally valuable for crop yields and profit margins, but it's appreciably different from external application.

The main concern is that producing these pesticides/herbicides inside the plant may include the chemical inside the parts we consume - you can't just stop application prior to harvest or wash off the surface before consumption. There's a lot of conflicting data here: the GMO designers have generally concluded that the chemicals are only produced in leaves/stalks and not the edible parts, but other studies have suggested that the chemicals might be getting passed on at levels which could be relevant to pregnant mothers.
We don't really know the full long term effect of non-ionized cellar radiation. People only started carrying always on smart phones everywhere we go fairly recently.

The people who hate radio waves would also argue that cell phones haven't been unequivocatively proven safe over the long term.
One-size-fits-all caps usually don't make you sick. The bar (and corresponding regulations) is much higher when you're selling food, especially if you're claiming it replaces all other food and is somehow also good for various medical problems.
These are the exact reasons. People act like GMO means we are uncontrollably mutating crops with potential dangers involved with "playing God"... We've been using radiation and selective breeding to alter DNA in the past. It's slower and riskier than GMO.

Monocultures, super-weeds/pests, and potentially political/economic issues (Im not a fan of Monsanto controlling all of the seeds of the world) are the real issues, not "we dont know what we are doing to the plants!" We know now more than ever.

I forgot them on purpose because he's talking about the Internet, not networking, not BBSs (which AOL and Compuserve were just big versions of). AOL and Compuserve eventually made themselves just another part of the Internet, but before that, they were really irrelevant in relation to the Internet's federation. In fact, other than AOL being an ISP and a gateway to the Internet for many, the actual AOL service was completely irrelevant once Internet connections came along.

It depends on what you're using the crickets/insects for. When we humans eat corn-fed meat sources, you aren't exactly getting a burst of nutrition for the same reasons you point out. You're still getting the fat and protein from the meat. I'm guessing the same is true for commercially-raised crickets. The point is that the crickets are not the only thing being consumed, they are being used for their protein and fats while other parts of the diet/meal add necessary nutrients.

because we crack down on and have to on companies selling food products when people are getting sick. look at all the recalls companies do with just possible contamination.

the professional food industry knows damn well there are no acceptable risks. if people are getting sick entire batch numbers are yanked from retail.

the one time a big company purposefully ignored resulted in jail time for executives from Peanut Corporation which knew they were selling contaminated product. As in, people are getting sick and they did not pull it
Yeah, that's kind of the situation I'm in. So for any given package it's a crap shoot whether or not it will work. (And if it doesn't work, uninstalling it can be a real problem!) Hence my continued mixed feelings about homebrew in general.
Hi, I developed uThreads. I looked at lthreads quickly, and it seems lthreads only maps multiple coroutines onto a single pthread (N:1). Although, it adds the possibility of running multiple pthreads, but each pthread can only run their local lthreads (using M threads that do N:1 mapping). However, in uThreads, uThreads can be multiplexed over multiple pthreads (thus M:N mapping).
Also lthreads scheduler is based on epoll/kqueue per pthread, and uThreads is using run Queues to manage uThreads which has less overhead. Per pthread epoll/kqueue can mean better scalability for large number of threads in comparison with uThreads that is relying on a single poller thread. But since the poller thread and synchronization is very low overhead in uThreads, the scalability is not an issue (Experiments to up to 16 threads show that uThreads scale very well).
Although lthreads provide compute boundaries and async IO to move lthreads over other pthreads, but this process seems to be very expensive. uThreads does not provide these features, but it provides more flexibility and control to the developer by providing migrations. Developers can use migration at any point to move the uThread to another set of kThreads to execute tasks asynchronously (By defining Clusters of kThreads, e.g., IO cluster or Compute Cluster).
I have two reasons for avoiding GMO:

Flavor

Local small farms don't embrace it.

If local farms did embrace it, I'd still be stuck with the flavor problem.
The Risk to Civil Liberties of Fighting Crime with Big Data
I am listening to you and your concerns. You are afraid that what we don't know could have disastrous consequences for us all. You want to see it demonstrated that serious people are taking these real, serious concerns seriously. After all, taking people's concerns seriously is the best way to make people feel validated and thus you can calm their fears, right? We all know that taking arbitrary concerns seriously never validates them.

> (1) are banned in the EU for human consumption, a reasonable choice I think until we have more data.

Seems very reasonable. How much data is enough? How will we know when we've got so much data that we can start just ignoring those who call for more study as unreasonable? When they're convinced, perhaps?

> (2) is a much lower risk than most would thing. But it is one of those things where the naive/amateur answer is far from reality, and that naive answer is scary. (Like nuclear, or more rules vs more responsibility.)

Seems reasonable. How do you propose to address these unknowns? And are you aware that non-GMO plants can product dangerous super species we can never get rid of? Purple loosestrife comes to mind.

Having listened to your concerns and seriously pondered them, all I see is fear. Unbounded fear. Nothing in here leads me to think these fears will be calmed by study. The nature of science is that there's always another unknown to point to, and GMOs are seen by many as inherently scary - unlike safe, cuddly natural plants, obviously.

What I see is people who have a fundamentally emotional position and think that study will validate them. They will continue to want more study until their fears are validated, and every result that fails to do so only feeds their fears.
Happens to non-car updates as well I think.

Of course, I would agree that free trade and no protectionism is not good for every single person all the time - just in the same way that people whose jobs are automated, or simply do not exist any more due to changing demand, often find it difficult and hazardous to adjust. Sometimes people do get a bit carried away in presenting free trade as a winning proposition for all individuals all the time.

But the primary counterargument is that attempts to restrain free trade generally a) reduce overall output and productivity b) give domestic producers a captive market and no incentive to improve c) incentivize smuggling and corruption in getting around barriers and d) cause local industry to fall behind and inevitably be overtaken in global markets even with domestic supports.

On the free movement of capital, one notes that the US, for example, has a large "trade deficit". But what does this mean? Essentially, that US consumers are net exporters of dollars in trade for foreign goods. But where do these dollars go? Well, they come to the US as part of "capital account surplus" - that is, the movement of capital investment into the US. While the immediate impression is of "industry moving overseas", the US is in fact an enormous net destination of capital investment. ( http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_otfwl2zc6Qc/TMybFmTdp1I/AAAAAAAAOm...) If they restricted the movement of capital, it would mean shutting out incoming capital investment, not keeping it from leaving.

So what happened to manufacturing? In a word: automation. The US manufacturing sector is at an all-time high in terms of value produced, but it's quite true that it employs fewer people than it did during its heyday. Manufacturing didn't decline, it's just that people don't work there like they used to. ( https://www.aei.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/mfg1.jpg ) This is what's felt as being "without manufacturing", but really it's just the automation of manufacturing, just like the automation of farming. This is overall a positive process, increasing productivity, but in the short-to-medium term it can be painful.

Not OP, but I get the impression a lot of anti-GMO folks think that GMO crops are synthetic, irradiated, mutant organisms when in fact they are still just conventionally-grown, chemically-organic plants.

In other words, nutters think GMOs are Spiderman when they're actually just Batman.
