In fact big farmers are building the soil on their land. When you have a lot of land it is easy to do a scientific comparison of different farming methods and discover which yield better profits. When you have a small farm it is easy to ignore (if you want to) research. An extra $10 per acre over 80 acres is only $800, while that same $10/acre over 3000 acres is $30000. The $800 won't make the payment on the different equipment needed for best practice, while $30000 makes the payment and leaves a nice chunk on the bottom line.

The other part of the above is getting that extra $10/year in profits needs 7 years of investment, until year for you make less profit, and the next 3 years you are more or less even (obviously each farming practice has a different payoff period, the above example is for no-till). Again, big farmers have the money to spare to try the new practice and when they see results they turn more fields over to the new system.

The only time it pays in the long run to mine the soil is when the land will go to someone else in a couple years. A farmer who sees the big city wanting his land for a new development in a couple years should mine his soil. In all other cases farmers who care for the soil as an investment will make more money in the long run than farmers who mine the soil.
I think this is a really key point: on Android I have the option to install whatever software I like, from whomever I like. There are tradeoffs, of course, but I am free to choose between them.

On iOS, I wouldn't have that choice.
You won't be able to connect to a shared drive using AFP anymore, if you get the new file system APFS when you upgrade. Apparently you only get APFS if you have a pure SSD drive (not Fusion).

APFS and file sharing
- Volumes formatted as APFS can't offer share points over the network using AFP.
- APFS supports SMB and NFS, with the option to enforce only SMB-encrypted share points.

And to add to that, it’s only Uber, not app-hailed minicabs as a whole.

If TfL were banning all minicabs then I could see how a conversation vs black cabs would make sense. But this is just one operator that has flouted regulations other app-based companies have not. They will be more than able to fill the void left by Uber.
Like the other commenters here, I can confirm that the FileVault -> APFS transition went smoothly.

Isn't the fact that you can't pick a thousand random ants and trick me into thinking they're a colony evidence that there's more to there being a colony than mere imagination on my part?

Unless you're alleging that the ants conceive of a colony, the colony is a machine made out of pieces -- it's like saying a puzzle doesn't have a physical reality when clearly it does: a thousand random pieces don't make a puzzle, and that distinction lies in the physical reality of the system under examination.

In so much as it makes sense to talk about ants, and not clumps of mobile cells or automata of particles, it makes sense to talk about ant colonies. After all, it's the behavior of the particles that appears to make the ant an entity -- the ant isn't real, only the particle behavior.

Your point seems to depend on those entities which we can immediately recognize as entities being more real than other kinds of entities, but that has no logical basis and is an outright appeal to emotion.

It is mostly weight and pressure packing the soil too dense, and then getting tilled to expose it to air. The soil loses nutrients and the ability to hold moisture and organisms like worms, bugs and bacteria. The article describes these issues better than I can.

Crop rotations and other things matter but the weight and pressure are the biggest difference as far as I know.

Sure webmail had been out for a decade before GMail. But I believe the point was that Gmail was special in that it was a pioneering user of AJAX-style interactivity.

Pre-AJAX, web-based services were just a series of forms, and the interactivity patterns harkened back to "smart terminal" [1] form-based use for mainframes in the 1970s. I believe the user you were responding to uses "application" to mean something approximating the desktop application experience of the 80s or the current mobile app experience.

So the distinction they're drawing is about the kind of interactivity. Squirrelmail, et al, were a series of forms and pages. GMail didn't do a new page or frame load every time you looked at a new message. UI rendering and interactivity became client-only activities, with the server providing an API.

This is a suddenly, extremely busy area, in the form of web components. Using web components is quite easy from Angular already, and from several other frameworks including Vue. Web components is the standard in this area, I can't imagine an alternative would possibly get traction now that web components are here. I don't know what integration difficulty you're thinking of, but regardless, the answer will be to get the JavaScript from your web components on the page, in addition to the JavaScript from your main library/framework.

React has some irritations consuming web components in the current version (because it favors attributes over properties, which seemed like a good idea at the time), but in the next version that will be resolved also.

Some starting points:

Polymer - the upcoming version of that will be quite convenient to use with es2015 classes. Polymer is pretty much ready for production work today (including the new enormous YouTube revamp, which they are rolling out) but aimed at an older syntax.

Skate might be closer to what you're looking for today, although it also has a significant revamp in progress that changes lots of things.

I know what even a whiff of religion means for some people. But I have to say that I can't think of any charitable organizations I trust more than the churches in my area. I know some people think it's all jet-flying televangelists, but there's a number of non-denominational and Vineyard churches here that have open books for the hundreds of thousands they donate every year.

The main focus of some of these churches is to organize volunteer operations, staff community outreach programs, and building things besides new sanctuaries. No one is getting rich at these places, so there is little publicity. But I wish more people were aware sometimes, if for no other reason than to know there are positive places to donate your time and money if it doesn't rub you the wrong way.
Problems like these bear a lot of similarity to CS brain teasers, such as exchanging N items without using N + 1 slots. [1]

Ask HN: What sort of traffic can you expect from the HN front page
Hi all, I'm about to submit one of my apps to HN to get a bit of feedback. In the unlikely event that it reaches the front page, I'd like to get an estimate of what sort of traffic I might expect. Basically, I just want to ensure that my servers can handle it, hopefully with a bit of room to spare! Anyone have any data/estimates they're willing to share (even anecdata will do!)? Thanks very much!

It's extremely painful to see people defending or justifying Uber's actions on HN. You can absolutely find Uber useful, and if you do and you are a Londoner, you can contact Uber to ask them to revise their policy when it comes to collaborating with the police in case of sexual assault instead of defending the indefensible.

There is something very wrong with a community where people think Uber's actions are normal. It's extremely unsettling.

Uber has always been an "HN favorite", but there are limits... Some comments here are just insane and completely out of touch with reality, or just don't take sexual crimes seriously, which is even worse...
They are willing to cooperate with the police. They just don't file the complaints themselves. I would say this is reasonable since it is the policy at all companies I have worked with as well.

Any charge of employees doing criminal acts are reported by those who see them. If no one else at the company sees it, then it is left up to the alleged victim. They company does not want to be seen as attacking it's employees based in hearsay.

In Ubers case these aren't even employees so they are left carrying hearsays to the police against third parties.

Magic: The Gathering: Twenty Years, Twenty Lessons Learned (2016)
The state has a different concern: making sure you have enough to eat. One crop failure and people starve to death. We as a society have chosen to solve this problem by subsidizing farming ensuring that there are more crops grown every year than is strictly needed. As such farmers plant more crops than people will eat. This ensures that in bad years there is still enough food.

You can argue that there is a better solution to the problem, but don't argue against subsidizes without a different solution.

You got downvoted for the hyperbole, but there's a lot of truth to this, in my experience. I don't think this is limited to big shops, either. There is a psychological phenomenon where people tend to place more value on things that have cost them more; I've experienced this myself when I've purchased a new vehicle—all of a sudden, it's the best vehicle on the market (it must have been, since I made the decision to buy it). The same thing happens with large business contracts.

As an in-house employee, it is incredibly frustrating when a vendor is automatically more credible than me, even though I've spent years building knowledge of my own company's business and systems. But I have experienced this both at my current 20,000+ employee enterprise, and a previous company where there were 5 employees.

So you really believe that physical coercion to marry high-status males is caused by (i.e., is an "outcome" of) the practice of polygamy? Forced polygyny does not just happen, someone has to have the power to force it. That someone exactly he who benefits from the practice: high-status men –
by definition, the patriarchy.

Is being physically coerced to marry someone worse than being economically incentivized to? Of course, I'm not arguing that. Is being formally ostracized for refusing to marry someone of high status worse than being informally ostracized for refusing to marry someone of low status? Yes, but by degrees. Yes, you can replace formal ostracism with informal ostracism by normalizing monogamy, but it's still going to happen so long as a patriarchal power imbalance remains in place.

(Doubt that informal ostracism happens? Women who choose not to marry have historically been excluded from mainstream society in western society. Hence the trope of the isolated spinster/widow, and the prevalence of prostitution as a means of earning for women who choose to stay single.)

Google absolutely sells access to "digested" user information. While your first sentence is technically correct since they don't directly give anyone the data, it is misleading at best.

One problem I see this solving is passing ENV vars between developers. Teams I've been on usually kept them in a google doc or emailed/slack'd them around. If I was on vacation when a new API key got added or an old one changed, sometimes I'd have a difficult debugging day ahead of me.
But why the focus on the jacquard threads? If it is just the cuff, why can't we just wear a bracelet or something similar? When I first say them introduce this, I thought there would be more tech built into the jacket itself, but it looks as if the cuff is the only important part.
Speaking confidently could also be seen as removing uncertainty and focusing a team to move toward a goal. One of the more interesting things I learned from reading "1776" was the difference between the confidence George Washington projected, and the uncertainty in his letters to friends.

The difference lies in how the leader 1. Recognizes a need for change in direction/vision and 2. Accepts ownership if the vision needs correction.

It takes a leader to confidently provide a vision and execute towards it. It also takes a leader to quickly notice a need to change course, own it, and keep momentum going.
Those scenarios are exactly where I still like using a pebble watch. At least for the music control scenarios I usually don't need to look at the screen.

What does 80-100% even mean, though? The CPU cores are merely one component of the CPU 'package'. The GPU on most Intel parts consumes way more power than the CPU cores when running flat-out.

Even just within the CPU cores, different ops consume vastly different amount of energy while still 'maxing out' utilisation. And we haven't even considered accelerator hardware within the CPU which is totally independent of the CPU cores but can still consume a large amount of energy (e.g. H.264, AES).

Intel no doubt calculate a maximum power consumption figure where every bit of hardware on the CPU is consuming as much as it can. It'd be utterly meaningless -- probably on the order of 100W for a 2-4 core laptop part or 400W for a server part.

You can design a computer to handle those figures, but you don't want to. So TDP reflects intended usage rather than peak demand.

If you're a 'prosumer', you're presumably smart enough to size your power supply and cooling appropriately. TDP is not the number you're looking for.

It's weird for most people. We're used to cross-language wire protocols. OpenTracing is different.

An analogy is SLF4J for Java logging. All libraries, etc use the same interface and the final user determines the backend: java.util, Logback. This makes sense if you have many authors of libraries with a cross-cutting concern.

This really makes OpenTracing half a dozen different standards, one per language, with common semantics.

Should it be about a wire protocol instead? Discussion at https://github.com/opentracing/specification/issues/34
