I would argue that the salaries aren't enough, but as long as they have freedom to quit and leave, and their children aren't beholden to their debts, it isn't slavery.
Temp controllers aren't a new idea, but using them in a large greenhouse limits you because the sunlight is heating the greenhouse in the summer and the glass is cooling it in the winter. You can't insulate this area, so you need increasingly larger heater or AC to effectively maintain a temp as the ambient temp deviates seasonally. I know high CO2 helps plants cope with higher temps and increases metabolic rate, but I'm not sure what its effects on secondary metabolites that produce the flavors are.

By only using 460 nm and 640 nm light you reduce unnecessary spectra for a chlorophyll b containing plant. Compared to other lighting sources which emit a broad specta of light, LED is much more efficient in terms of usable photons / kwH though it is likely still cheaper to ship from a freely lit greenhouse in a high light density area.

The selling point is the value addition of having a high degree of temperature and lighting control; and hinges on that leading to the additional production of certain flavors and nutrients that wouldn't be possible with less control.

Thanks for the video btw, it comes to the opposite conclusions about heat retention in closed vs open systems.

I bet if you peek your head in the kitchen of your top 5 favorite restaurants, you'll find someone on the dishwashing or cleaning staff who is an immigrant and signs over most, if not all, of their paycheck to a "sponsor" here who looks after them. Gives them a place to stay, helps them with language barriers, etc. Or if you know of anyone who has done a mail-order-bride-type thing...

While you may not interact with these people, I bet you see them in your day-to-day life.

I heard about it first while reviewing literature for some of my operations research classes. They were supposedly good heuristics for hard problems like scheduling and facility layouts, but of course I didn't really get in to that for those introductory classes. I wonder if it's really less scary (harder) than I originally thought? I can't seem to find good resources on them online though, as all the moocs and resources are still raving on about machine learning and data science.

I realize lots of people find things like guaranteed issue and the essential health benefits milquetoast compared to a single payer system, but it isn't the healthcare industry fighting to remove them, it is tax cutters.

(EHBs are maligned as government interference, but I really have trouble believing that people want to buy health insurance that doesn't cover things like hospitalization and emergency care. You know, the sorts of rare, expensive events that one buys insurance for. There's probably a little bit of room to argue about what the national baseline should be, but standardization is a positive government intervention to make it easier to select a policy and to make sure that the policy will actually cover care)
I have tried that but was coming up with things to generic and more names that where just nouns than a names that could be noun or verb.
Agreed. Japan is the size of California, demographically dying, and can't even feed itself as it's a net importer of food / energy. It's also basically a protectorate of the US.

Globalization, the rise of China, and the dismantling of the West's manufacturing (and now intellectual) supremacy in exchange for quarterly profits is a real problem.
As far as I understand it, with bridged networking you're basically sharing the network device -- your VM has it's own stack down to the MAC address. So as long as your network device is still online (in the sense of being enabled in Windows and having a cable attached), packets for a particular MAC will travel to the right network stack.

This is probably useful from the VirtualBox manual:

> With bridged networking, VirtualBox uses a device driver on your host system that filters data from your physical network adapter. This driver is therefore called a "net filter" driver. This allows VirtualBox to intercept data from the physical network and inject data into it, effectively creating a new network interface in software...

I'd try it, it wouldn't be hard to reverse.

While the historical record is clear that Grant freed a slave named William Jones in 1859, Grant's father-in-law, Frederick Dent, died in 1873 at the White House (Grant was president at the time).

So what? There's no merit badge for making hydroponics work for all the plants.

Like, if you can make it work for just one plant that there's a sizable market for, like say, tomatos, that alone is enough to sustain a huge industry. Like, if you then extend it to other crops, that's cool I guess, but there's no economic need to. In order for your thesis that this is all bogus and useless to hold, hydroponics has to be industrially infeasible for ALL plants of any market value.

It makes sense to start out with high value density crops like herbs or something (and it seems the Newark facility is starting with leafy greens for that reason)

That's only part of the equation. The real issue is that the US elites are going to have to trade some of their profit margins - based on global expansion, market access, lack of tariffs, US military protection of trade routes, etc. - for gains going back to the rest of us.

The charts are clear. US capital owners have done quite well. The rest have not. Either something gives or the guillotines become fashionable again.
Oh, I was splitting the two of the top genes within the pool and giving each other half of their respective genes and inserting it at the bottom which is why the ones that look closer to the goal are at the bottom. I added a sorting feature after the creation of children to fix that!
we could as a society pay (women) people for emotional labor and for taking care of children and elderly.

This tends to not work. Paying people to care often means paying people to pretend to care. This often goes bad places.

Furthermore, the history of paid work suggests that the unpaid labor of mothers in the family is the critical thing and we shifted "jobs" (gender based work) around to make family life still function while freeing up men to go do paid work in order to benefit all involved parties. Until around 300 years ago, most people were literally and directly working to put food on the table. Men hunted or raised crops. Women had vegetable gardens and did the cooking. Women did the sewing to provide clothing. Etc. Money was generally in short supply.

I write at times about such things on my blog. I hope we can find better solutions than what we are doing now. But your position is not really all that well thought out or researched. Reactionary stuff of this sort is not helpful. It tends to just entrench the problem.

On top of that, if screeners can't tell the difference between legitimate devices and bombs in a carryon, why would they be able to do any better for checked bags? Bombs in the cargo hold are still bombs.

One explanation I'd heard was that checked bag screening areas are more secure, while for carryons a rogue gate employee could wave through a suspicious laptop without any further backup checks... or even a rogue food-service employee could smuggle something in and hand it off to a passenger. But that could happen with any 'container object,' not just laptops. And it's hard to square that a ban expanding to major European airports.

The main alternatives, first and rest, don't work as well in my head.

I mean, car and cdr give you the structure:

struct List {
Atom car,
struct List* cdr
}

Which also explains why an empty list, '(), is nil.

rest sort of implies the next memory section of the list will always be a list. But that's just not the case with a cons cell.

It is a little odd compared to many modern languages, that a data structure is so exposed to the programmer - but it needs to be. Almost everything you do is impacted by that structure, (well, compiler optimisations aside).

It did catch me by surprise when I first came to the LISPy side of things, but once I understood the basic idea of the structure... There wasn't anything left to understand. It explains half the syntax by itself. Why functions are always the first item in a list, for example. car is a cheaper lookup than cdr.

If instead, we weren't dealing with linked lists, but everything was a vector, with a known size, I could see first and rest as making more sense.

We have resisted adding features to Cargo that would make it better for end-user distribution, and the RFC for "cargo install" made it explicit that it's a non-goal. It's for distributing stuff for Rust developers, like additional Cargo commands, not for general end-users.

I dunno, I can get tomatos in season for like a buck a pound, and while I haven't bought boneless chicken breast in a couple years, it was findable for like $2 or $3 a pound. Milk is like $3 to $4 a gallon, and eggs can be had for $1 to $2 a dozen. Parsley and cilantro for like a buck or two, but you can't always find good quality for both. Whatever, I use them interchangably so it's fine. Potatos and onions are always dirt cheap everywhere, well under $1 a pound. Kale is cheap but I don't remember how much because I discovered I like cabbage even better, and they practically give cabbage away.

These are the prices I get from going to nearby fine fare / key foods type places in the Lower East Side, and they're pretty much the same prices I remember seeing in NJ and Arkansas, with some variation. Individual supermarkets do vary a lot though, so if you don't have a bike/car and just go to the one that happens to be closest to you, it may seem way worse than it actually is.

I don't know if real estate makes a difference. The dollar pizza places stay in business somehow, making it up on volume. Suburban supermarkets seem to compensate for their cheaper real estate by wasting way more of it, with huge stores with tons of aisles and 100 brands of each kind of product, and then 4x that land spent on parking. I wouldn't be surprised if such a facility spends the same or more on their lease as a random C-Town in Brooklyn.

Also, I kind of agree with a lot of other stuff you said, just responded to what I found interesting to respond to :)

Riffing on the "Apple trial balloon" feedback:

>Vindicated whistleblowers should get a raise and a promotion. Instead they are the subject of prolonged acts of revenge.

I absolutely agree with you, but there's a bit of a nitpick to be made here--but an important one:

From Google: "A whistleblower (also written as whistle-blower or whistle blower) is a person who exposes any kind of information or activity that is deemed illegal, unethical, or not correct within an organization that is either private or public."

Whistleblowers by definition do not need vindication.

If China ever becomes as rich as Japan, i.e. GDP per capita becomes equal to what Japan has now, then China's GDP will be 52.6 trillion USD. The US has 18.6.

Sorry, I didn't mean to imply that cargo was the primary distribution method, merely that it was one and that cargo has gone well beyond being a build tool.

> then a lot of the work you did was wasted.

Unless you get enjoyment on some level from the financial security of having a bunch of money saved (i.e. you sleep better at night because of it). It's like purchasing insurance - if you never end up using the insurance, that doesn't imply you made a poor decision (wasted money) in purchasing it.

Likewise, knowing that an expensive medical emergency could come up means that having considerable savings is an appropriate response.

Or you could take the opposite view and arrive at the same conclusion - if you have a healthy lifestyle and expect to remain healthy, you might predict that you'll have a long lifespan, making it prudent to conserve your retirement savings by spending it at a very slow rate.
