I'm not aware of any such authority. And maybe worse, I doubt that there could be, at the national level. It's not just that designations like "USDA Organic" are gamed. Stuff is just too complicated, and there's inadequate data.

Over the past century, the chemical industry has commercialized numerous novel compounds, maybe 10^5 to 10^6 or more. Although there's been some toxicity testing, of course, we are basically living in the only large-scale, long-term test.

Anyway, to be safest, your best bet is growing your own food, or buying from trusted local producers. And yes, I realize how impractical that is for most people. But no matter where your food comes from, it's arguably safest to eat as low on the food chain as possible.
one incident of manslaughter by one of their officers

If you're referring to Oscar Grant[0], the verdict was involuntary manslaughter, but I thought it was clearly murder (with, perhaps, questionable sanity) -- Grant was fully subdued and not resisting when he was shot.

Ironically, the sentence of IM plus the gun enhancement meant more prison time than Voluntary Manslaughter alone would have.

There are always arrogant egomaniacs who think they know everything and can do better (aka teenagers).

Society benedits from having these people around, for when conditions change, and traditional ways don't work any more.

So the extraordinary thing was extraordinary times.

(Other questions: why them and not some other teenager? And how did they transition to conventional business, structure, funding, regulations?)
Swathing is definitely still used for alfalfa and grass hay. It may be called "mowing" or just "cutting hay"; it's definitely not chemical desiccation.
If I knew then I would be in a pretty powerful position :)

But at least some starting point: exploration-exploitation is basically chasing something with a better outcome, for example, if I'm working on some project, I might look at random websites for hopes of finding something useful for that project, on the other hand, curiosity would be me just looking at things that are "interesting". Right now in RL artificial curiosity research we use novelty as a heuristic for "interesting" but we haven't really solved what "interesting" is yet I think.

So, essentially, the pull request process is useless. In fact, even changing a typo could be seen as a substantive change since it may not always be 100% clear what the correct change is. For example, in the Colored Object Restrictions Act 2018, Section 12.3.7 it might say "It is not permitted to have purple colored caqs within the city limits." could be talking about 'cats', 'cars' or maybe 'caps', and although it's obvious a typo has slipped through, these possible fixes all have very different meanings. And in the cases where the typo is obvious, and there is only one possible interpretation of the text, it doesn't actually matter and the change wouldn't have any impact...
A injected script element was last I checked the only way to send a piece of data to a remote server on a third party domain without a preflight OPTIONS request.

Less round trips. Less bandwidth.

For more reading look here:http://dev.housetrip.com/2014/04/17/unleash-your-ajax-reques...

But in general here's what is wanted.

- No OPTIONS request

- Third party domain.

- withCredentials - pass cookies in the request.

The best option in this case is actually a injected async script element.

Thanks. Shorter, and more to the point, than my answer :)
The DNA usually isn’t completely sequenced. Instead, they look at specific regions of the genome called short tandem repeats, or STRs. Each STR consists of a short pattern of a few bases that repeats over and over. The theory is that individuals have different numbers of repeats—you might have ten repeats of AATG at the TPOX locus, while I only have nine. Individually, this doesn’t tell you much, but if you combine information from multiple loci—six repeats there, seven here, and four there-you can rapidly find profiles that are unlikely to belong to more than one person. This works best if the set are statistically independent.

Still, one can be (un)lucky, or the statistical models could be wrong—maybe the number of repeats is different in a sub population or the STRs aren’tstatistically independent.
It seems like there are different messages for different audiences.

The appeal of a trustless network is stronger in places with a history of surprise currency and banking-industry failures-- no one person can crash the system by fiat. OTOH, the use window is small-- situations where the currency is being undermined but electric/networking is reliable enough to do a large scale backup Bitcoin economy are pretty narrow. Venezuela might be the poster child for this.

For another audience, the thought of "geographic independence" was appealing. It would cost the same and take basically the same time to pay someone in St. Petersberg, Russia or St. Petersberg, Florida. Really, this is still a space that conventional banking has been troublesome with. Things like the SEPA network help, but there are still loads of cases where it's cheapest to put cash in an envelope. Unfortunately, Bitcoin as-is is still pretty slow and expensive for that.
Ranching is way better for natural habitat than cropping. Cattle in the North American prairies graze on native grasses where on cultivated land (in Saskatchewan, for peas, wheat and canola) all native grasses are ripped up for crop and riparian and wetland areas are destroyed to increase acreage.
> This is worse because the market not only has no way to price these cost but it is _blind_ to them. That you don't realize this means you think 'free markets' are 'magical'

Not the guy you're replying to, but you're wrong. This isn't a debate about effectiveness, it's about whether the tax is a free market solution or not. No one is arguing that the market isn't blind to it; this very well could be a case of a market failure and a tax may very well be the correct solution, it is not however a free market solution. A tax is government interference in the market and is by definition not a free market solution.

China / US / Europe are not good proving grounds for Bitcoin. Those are large single markets served by a single currency. Southeast Asia on the other hand, is fragmented across 10 financial systems.

What Bitcoin offers, that centralized payment systems cannot in Southeast Asia; is the prospect of having an overlay on top of the local financial systems that is open and interoperable by any startup looking to provide local solutions to the payment puzzle. A wallet app developed in Vietnam for example, can easily receive Bitcoins but cannot easily receive Rupiah.

The only requirement is to have proliferation of Bitcoin-fiat exchanges across the region so people can jump in and out of the Bitcoin ecosystem when the need arises. This part of Bitcoin development is not rocket science, just requires time and hard work.

Markets exist with or without government, governments make markets more stable and handle cases of market failures, and markets do fail. But under no case is government intervention a free market solution. Lack of government does not abolish rules or property rights, it just changes how those things are enforced as it leaves everyone to defend their own property and it leaves enforcement of rules to private security forces.

I'm not claiming government intervention isn't good; I'm simply arguing you can't call it a free market solution, because it isn't. Taxes are not free market solutions.

Like the 2014 Farm Bill? I farm outside of the US, but from an outsider’s perspective that seemed like a huge change.
Canada, EU and the U.S. all have massive agriculture subsidies.
This article was actually about Canada, you realize?

The EU subsidies for Iberian fisherman to allow them to catch and catch regardless of economics have been the prime mover in destroying fisheries up and down the North American and African coasts. It was, and is, one of the worst environmental crimes of the last century, perhaps only matched by the EU subsidies for diesel vehicles that have contributed so much to climate change and point-source pollution.
And there are definitely no 6000 square mile farms in saskatchewan.

Not counting overtime, holidays, benefits, or pension. $150K represents the median cost to employ.
In my country, there are no lawyers in small claims court, so there'd be no attorney fees. The only cost other than time is usually the amount of money charged by the bailiff you hire to deliver the Summons or whatever the document is called.

So if a client refused to pay you $3000, you take them to small claims court for $3500 or whatever (you have to convince the court that these extra charges for the bailiff fees, your transport to and from court, etc, are just).

Dang are you okay with unsubstantiated opinions with oblique references?
No. While it may be the most market friendly approach, it's not a free market approach. There is not de facto free market solution, it's entirely possible the free market has no solution; that does not make the best available solution a market solution.
I like to imagine that someday, somehow this HN thread will be referenced in an article somewhere. The irony would be satisfying.
>Everything related to food in the US is just a total disaster.

The US has the most plentiful and cheapest foods. It supplies its own population with food so cheap the prices have to be supported. And, even with that, there is enormous surplus. And, on top of that, the US is by far the worlds largest exporter of food. As well as the world's largest supplier of free food for relief purposes.

In light of that, your comment seems odd.

To go with the above example of c# vs f#. I find f# far easier to understand because the compiler enforces a strict top down compilation order. Combined with the encouraged basic type system (records and DU) this enforces a very rigid design structure that is easy to understand.

Compared to that c# is a ball of wool where not only have you to follow all strands but also understand when something will happen.

At this point, I would recommend choosing to treat the {akadns.net, microsoft.com, microsft.com} TLDs with general distrust. Also in the report:

I'm not sure how to react to the observation of the usage of "microsft.com". I'll admit my instinct is to perceive this as, at worst, a rather clandestine attempt at circumventing basic DNS black-holing techniques--in which case, well played MSFT.

Now if you'll excuse me, I have some firewall policies to update.

The real problem is that these publishers actually provide real value that gives them leverage over the industry. If they didn't, it'd be pretty easy to destroy their grip over academia. The idea that after 23 years of internet they've maintained their position via smart deals is ludicrous. They've maintained it because of useful curation.

If there was a way to open source curation and not lose quality, I can't imagine anyone would disagree with that - even the people who work at these organisations.

Unfortunately, what you end up with is arxiv, while very useful for sure, has no curation.

Everyone just keeps bleeting - we want free! But they don't bother to think about how to do actually do it. How to ensure quality curation remains which is absolutely so critical to the advancement of science.

> The only requirement is to have proliferation of Bitcoin-fiat exchanges across the region

No, that's not the only requirement. Other requirements include teaching large numbers of nontechnical people what the heck a cryptocurrency is, how to get and secure a wallet, how to get an account on an exchange, how to convert Bitcoin to and from their local currency, why they can't carry Bitcoin around in their pocket like cash, and who they should talk to if their Bitcoins get stolen or their exchange gets hacked.

Or, they could just get a WeChat or Alipay account, which are going to be available in southeast Asia pretty soon. Boom, done.
The advantage is that code run through WASM is fast, sandboxed and platform-independant. Nothing else is capable of giving you all 3 of those features.

Embedded scripting languages (JS / Lua) are platform-independant and sandboxed, but much slower than native code.

C is fast and small. It can be very carefully sandboxed by the OS (eg iOS apps) but the sandbox has historically been very leaky. Also binaries must target a specific hardware architecture.

The JVM & .NET environments are platform independent, but their heavy reliance on garbage collection slow them down. They also both have large runtime environments which makes them more awkward to embed. I wouldn't want to embed the JRE inside the linux kernel or in a web browser because its so big and it has such a terrible security track record. But WASM would work great.

What other technology would be a good fit for making mods for a multiplayer game? Java? Too bloated. Lua? Workable but slow. C? You can't ship 3rd party mods safely and even if you could they would need to be recompiled for every platform. But WASM will work great. What other tech could you use to run a user-supplied filesystem driver in-kernel? Everything else is too slow (lua) or too unsafe (C).
The terminal has its own advantges. But surely it's subjective.

Coming to your use-cases:

> use the Finder to browse ... which gives me preview, etc.

Preview is not available, and there are other emerging file managers which agree that preview is redundant for a fast workflow. People may not want to have a jumpy experience to preview a 8K res image all the time. And that image can be compromising as well. It's easy to say make it optional, but it adds tons of deps on other tools which `nnn` doesn't want to bear. It integrates with sxiv, so you can open a dir of images in sxiv and browse at will.

> renaming a bunch of files in a directory

`nnn` supports in-place renames and it integrates with `vidir`, which allows you to batch rename in vi, exactly the same thing which your favourite utility does. I mentioned this earlier but it got lost among other responses. Probably you haven't read the features section or given `nnn` a try which is why you missed `vidir`. I recommend at least a quick at the features list. If you want to try it, `nnn` is available on Homebrew.
