> Are sure you know all that is being produced in indoor farms?

I don't understand what you're asking.

But regarding Growing Power, as far as I know it's a small-scale demo farm that is used for educational purposes that's mostly funded by donations and a hell of a lot of good will in the form of volunteers, free material etc. I mean just take a look at their donor-page [0].

[0] http://www.growingpower.org/about/funding/

It's not supposed to be taken seriously as a commercial farming project, if you ask me. And besides that, a lot of their farming is quite standard stuff, virtually only high-value crops (i.e. half a crop of lettuce that is 25 calories or 1% of your diet, but easily 10-20% of your food budget, and has relatively little ecological impact. I mean just take a look at Plenty's front page: lettuce and mint are front and centre, from a food impact point of view they might as well be producing spices. Not saying it isn't commercially viable, but they focus on a small part of our food chain). A minority is produced in anything other than typical greenhouses that have existed for many years and I'm not seeing staple foods like rice or corn produced this way. Things like the vertical farm by growing power are as far as I know just a concept, pretty similar to the other 1 million urban farm buildings created by 1 million clueless design students. (with all due respect, as I've studied to create an urban farm building myself in my own city!)
Considering that the US government has decreed that Bitcoin is an asset and capital gains taxes are due when they are sold/spent, I'm inclined to answer yes.
But Ethereum is not booming. Isn't it a consensus that it is mostly speculative and most of these ICOs are money grabs and no working products ever get released other than prototypes to raise money?

Yes the price has increased by 4000% in couple of months this year but most reasonable people agree it is a pure speculation / gambling.
not a lawyer, but i don't think you need a global government to have legislation covering contracts between two companies from different countries. I suppose the contract decides which juridiction will apply in case of trouble.

But if i understand your point, you see smart contracts just as some kind of tool that could be used in place of regular ones, whenever all the corner cases can be determined in advance and coded against, right ?

In which case we could have state decide which type of smart contract are legal under their juridiction and which aren't. If that's what you mean, that could be interesting indeed. I don't see how that would be applicable in practice : everything can be hacked or tricked, or fall apart, and human always are needed at some point in any autonomous system i know of.
Most likely the 55 day wait happened because the parents sought out alternative treatments afterwards. As it is very unlikely the original doctors suggested this treatment... there is no supporting evidence that HBOT helps with traumatic brain injury. Also as other's have pointed out in this thread, HBOT is an industry full of quackery with grand claims of curing cancer, treating brain injury, and cerebral palsy with little evidence.

So most likely the parents approached a university research group, or a research group was referred to them, and they did the study with the child at a later date following the initial treatment of the injury.
Second this. Usually very good critique of both conservative and liberal politics, sometimes inane.
Sure, the inmates may "deserve" to be in prison but they're also human beings and NOT slaves.

It is morally unacceptable that anyone can profit from slave labor in a free country. Moreover, it also hurts honest businesses who are required to pay their workers normal wages.

The quality of social interaction is very important. None of the relationships you described seemed overly healthy. The study shows that it was good, warm, reciprocal relationships that factored into improved mental health. I work on a trading floor as well, and while I do enjoy it, I put in lots of work to have healthy social relationships outside of work.

Well "supports" is a very broad term given that yubikey supports multiple applets (OpenPGP, PIV, U2F, static passwords etc.).

Do you mean this:

Then it's not clear for me how this works exactly.
From my perspective, either you have data and you have an idea what sort of distributions you're working with, or you don't, and you should fix that problem first rather than going down the theory rabbit hole.

With data in hand, a skew/kurtosis scatter plot is a good way to gauge the higher dimensional distribution of your data. Another option is to cluster the variables of the data set using something like HDBSCAN and color the plot points based on cluster membership.

If you have to go guessing distributions without evidence, you're better off choosing a low k student's T distribution (for robustness to outliers) or a gamma distribution (if you think your data might be skewed).

Under growing complexity, average understanding will decrease and tend to become centralized. How many people really understand the dynamics of Bitcoin's current scaling debate? In that scenario, you have a return to manipulation by special interests (in this case, "important" nodes like miners, exchanges, and wallets).

The prison industry is, overwhelmingly, not private. This farm in particular in run by the Colorado Correction Industry, a division of the Colorado Department of Corrections, not a private company.
I agree it's silly to see it plainly as socialism vs capitalism

First a lot of the technical details of either are sound

My primary concern with capitalism is the forced trade and value system it requires

I find it highly unethical that we protect a capitalist and their ownership rights, and do little to offer the same to the proles. Why should people be forced to trade their efforts? There is no divine right or mandate to trade. That's conceived by humans and the needs of trade discussed and planned by humans with human biases and goals

And then they talk about capitalism as if it's then just this colorless odorless set of obviously correct ideas

It's so plainly a system that has created extreme inequality by protecting conflicts of interest

The completely assinine notion the majority is somehow flourishing under this is absurd

Want to eat and explore human reality? Lick my boots 40 hrs a weeks

There is no defending such a system as ethical and moral in a country that talks so highly of freedom
You can't just look at who predicted it correctly lat time. You also have to make sure that they didn't predict that it would occur other times when it didn't.

Restrictions breed creativity, eh?

With the restrictions came huge increases in the stability and effectiveness of significant bank operations (e.g. clearing of over the counter derivatives, derivative reporting and all that).

This shouldn't be surprising.

But, it is interesting to see whether the restrictions have bred the stability that they were designed too, or if banks are just shifting risks to new areas.
According to BART it's due to insufficient train cars and outdated control systems. They say they're working on it.[1]

Wow. That is a beautiful machine!

And I hope I'm not going too far off the rails here (its where viewing this video lead my mind), but this makes me wonder further about what kind of technology we aren't aware of that was used by more ancient cultures. I mean, the Antikythera mechanism kind of blew the doors open for me when I learned it calculated the progression of celestial objects and other astronomical events.

It's possible, no? Probably not with a base of 2, but maybe with some other base or hybrid? We continually discover and get surprised by the skill of some ancient engineering (and the stunning core practicality of it at times).

In "Amusing Ourselves to Death," Neil Postman argued the opposite: In the 1800s, people would watch hours-long political debates for amusement and were much more politically literate (the book is more about the negative effects of telecommunication - most people know it as the inspiration for the famous Orwell vs. Huxley infographic).

The terms gamer and gaming community are used by people to lump anyone who plays video games into a small digestible nugget. There is no single gaming community and the sheer size of each of the countless gaming communities dwarf most other hobby or enthusiast communities.

Most people promoting gaming on Linux are so out of touch that they think having Tux Racer playable makes a Linux desktop computer a first or even second class gaming platform. Having The Witcher 3 or Tomb Raider on Linux is a novelty or a way to win brownie points.

I'm not a serious gamer by any means, my highest played game only logs 403 hours of playtime, I've see people with ten times that. With that in mind, none of the games in my top 10 list in terms of hours (~1800 hours) played are available on Linux.
It depends from what perspective you come at it, though.

The article makes the case that the "simpler language" is the one where a function can only call another function if it has been declared before. Then, the ability to call any function regardless of declaration would be seen as an addition to that.

But couldn't one make an equally valid case that the "simpler language" is the one where function declaration order is not significant, that unordered is "simpler" than ordered? Then, the availability of a "F was declared before G" relation would be seen as the addition.

After all, the only reason we intuitively feel there is an order to function declarations is because the computer program's representation in source code is linear text. But I'd argue that the more fundamental representation of a computer program is that of a graph. Or at least equally fundamental :) It's just that in practice, computer memory is linear, and so any representation of a graph structure will have an implicit order that we need to tell the computer to ignore. But mathematically this ordering is just a side-effect of computer memory, irrelevant just like whether '1' bits weigh more than '0' bits or not.
So you concede that it doesn't matter if you wrote over half the code? If only there were a mechanism for reaching that other code, so you could defend it...

I don't understand why everyone hates capitalism now. Its like "what the cool kids do".

A persistent campaign of propaganda aimed at capitalism. Because there are always either misguided "true believers" or corrupt glad-handers looking to exploit others for their own benefit, who are out there proselytizing for some socialist ideology and trying to tear down capitalism.
Doesn't this holds true of the other crimes we were talking about taking place on the dark-net as well? Maybe not at the same rates, but even weapon sells don't definitely mean someone is coming to harm by that specific sell.

This looks nice, at least in terms of design. However, there are some red flags:

1. No "about us" or team. No LinkedIn page for the company showing where in the world it's located or who runs it. We'd never put private data in a system without having many guarantees that the company is legit.

2. Still beta after 2 years?

3. No pricing details

Also, somewhat unrelated: I thought this was some new product from Atlassian. If Atlassian wanted to sue, I think they'd have a case -- consumers could easily be confused.
This actually isn't anything new. Growing up, one of our neighbors in exurban Philadelphia commuted into New York City for the week. I think that's probably the more common situation. Doesn't work for everyone of course, but traveling somewhere and staying there for the work week is a pretty common pattern for a lot of consulting roles, for example.

It's difficult to say if there will be a financial crisis, but multiple current economic indicators are not predicting one any time soon (meaning in the next 6 months).

This isn't counted in those indicators, but also S&P 500 earnings are predicted to go up a lot by December 2018, according to S&P Global. Credit Suisse's Global Wealth Report predicts a 5% annual increase in wealth among all adults globally in the next 5 years.

Houses in major metropolitan areas have gone about 6% annually on average, counting recessions and popping of bubbles. Timing the market could help but it's very difficult. I predict they will keep rising at a 4-7% rate for the next decade, but I could be wrong. A recession is possible but I wouldn't delay buying a house right now. But I would definitely buy within your means and don't expect prices to rise, because the future is very difficult to predict.
Your comment contains a germ of why communism is a failed concept: "Hard work." Hard work does not imply valuable work. You've conflated the two, as have all the thinkers you cite.

If you want proof that "hard work" isn't necessarily "valuable work," simply start digging holes in your backyard. It is hard work. At the end of the day, though, you'll have constructed nothing of value (unless you appreciate the value of holes).

But, as you see, value is a subjective concept. Communism believes it to be objective. But what's valued in communism is simply the biases of its architects. Resources, then, aren't allocated through an objective pricing system weighing conflicting values, but through waits, favors, loyalties, and fiat. Eventually, the system becomes so corrupted it fails.

We've objectively seen the failure of the communist system across cultures over the last 100 years. By now, there should be no doubt about its inherent ills.
This. It seems like the commenter who posted this point lacks some fundamental knowledge of how the brain operates.

For all he knows, it is conscious. But the time scale and size limit it's faculties to a degree [to put it mildly] far too removed from the ability of our senses to perceive.
I think it is quite difficult to let complete strangers to your home without any help from technology. I don't think this app would need any rocket science, but I would guess that a simple way to verify who you are dealing with and make that public ("John Doe is joining our board game night today") and some kind of scoring system ("John Doe has wanted help x times and given help y times and on average people do not seem to think he is an asshole")

But I think the crucial point is that if you want to fight loneliness, it is difficult to do that if the lonely one is made to think that he is now getting something because he is lonely. That will instead make him feel worse. It would be much better to tell to the lonely one that hey, just you, I would need your help. (Complete amateur psychologist writing here)

I profoundly belive that people who do science must be atheists

That is simply false. Just look at the history of science - just a few examples being Francis Bacon, Robert Boyle, Newton, Kepler, Leibniz, Euler, Faraday, Maxwell, etc. who were all Christian.

Cuba is comparatively an incredibly poor nation that has missed many advancements of modern society in recent decades. Wages are dirt low, access to the internet is low, and from what I gather, access to modern anything in general is challenging. There are no great advancements coming out of Cuba. I don't consider that a success, I consider that a failure. I don't want to stop progressing or move backwards into a deep maintenance mode as Cuba has.

And that's just the economic side of things.

This opinion is based totally on "The Big Short," so take it with a grain of salt:

It seems like the people who can predict a crisis correctly are the ones who actually do the legwork to verify the ground truth, in detail, when everyone else is just trusting conventional wisdom, the executive summary, and their current profit numbers.

However, the person who predicts the next crisis is probably going to have to be looking under different rocks than the people who predicted the last one.
Your adoption of a vague, hand-wavey, nonsensical tone as a performative critique of the article was not lost on me, well done.

I've taken this as inspiration and a challenge to be more thoughtful and creative with the style of my arguments.
