Here in CO at least it's 100% a water rights thing. They're afraid of downstream lack of water if everyone is collecting their runoff (and afraid that the smaller farmers won't need to buy as much if they're collecting their own).

I've been thinking of long term memory as hashmaps, with the values themselves being multiple specific neurons firing and also at a specific frequency, which would be easier to store in great abundance to reuse resources.

the keys being just a bunch of pointers somehow. neurons could also have modes to being part of the key storage, and then switching modes to value recovery

I think the ship has sailed on this being drawn out. Since this post is flagged and unlikely to get further attention, I will indulge a bit more nested discussion than I would otherwise, though.

I think you mean, "accusation". Google is accused of having bias. Evidence would constitute something that shows that the accusation is true. Since we are already parsing a headline, I'm going to have to be pedantic that "evidence" has specific meaning. It has common meaning, too, but I think I can lean on the president's own words: "All very illegal" puts this firmly in the judicial context. If the accusation was made under oath, under the penalty of perjury, then it could be considered evidence.

Let me tell you this: if technology is a growing field and is difficult/increasingly requires specialized education it is going to have young and educated people on the whole. Furthermore, it has more immigrants and is more urban. If you correct for those factors (and a few others) you are going to find that tech is more conservative than you would otherwise expect. And tech demographics in SV is different than in Austin is different than in Minneapolis. On the whole the differences are much smaller than most people would believe.

ps - while I disagree with you, I don't appreciate that you are being downvoted. I upvoted all your replies to try to counter that, and I would appreciate if people would resist the urge to reflexively downvote opinions they disagree with (which discourages discussions like this, which in my opinion, has been perfectly cordial)

Kiwifarms, as someone else pointed out, is primarily a gossip site that also really enjoys doxxing pedophiles and zoosadists. It has roots in trolling, but these days it actively discourages harassing subjects on the grounds that these people don't need to be prodded to be entertaining, they do that themselves via their own terrible behavior.

It tends to lean right as a general rule, but the members are all over the place politically and ideologically, and where they congregate differs hugely depending on which thread you're in.

In short, it's a site full of shitty people sitting around laughing at even worse people.

>Industrial farming is the reason why you’ve never gone hungry before.

Depends on where you live (and most of current living where one can't make food and wouldn't survive a shortage has been enabled by "industrial farming" and other developments - e.g. enabling deserts cities in Nevada).

In my case, we have had hens, pigs, turkeys, olives, grapes, tomatoes, cucumbers, watermelons, oranges, figs, corn, berries, potatoes, and several other fruits and vegetables besides at the house at home. And this wasn't uncommon in my between ~150K strong place of birth (now I live in a much larger city), almost every family had such.

>In the good old days there would be a bad harvest every so many years and a substantial fraction of the population would starve to death in the ensuing famine.

We've had techniques to survive bad harvests, including long term storage, canned goods, saline storage, dried goods (from nuts to figs and salami), and so on, for millennia, and I don't remember any famines in my here parts (much less a "substantial fraction of the population starving to death"). Then there's always trade, which we also have had for quite a while.

The worst famines are not caused by bad harvests, they are either due to political reasons (from the Irish potato famine, to the 80s Ethiopian one, both caused by bad policies) or poor distribution/inequality (while food exists).

As a modestly successful inventor, I get buttonholed all the time by people wanting advice about their ideas. Some may even be unique, but it doesn’t matter. Uniqueness is far from the major factor in doing something successful with an idea. Yes, the axiom is an intentional exaggeration—cold water in the face—to get their attention and refocus it.

> Here in CO

Spelling out places might be helpful in a forum that is global. To me, CO means

* Colombia, the country. I don't know much about water rights, usage and distribution there.

* Colorado, the US state. Certainly a place where water rights are a hot topic.

* Central Oregon, where I live, where it is also very dry and water makes or breaks farm and ranch operations.

* Province of Como, abbreviated CO on license plates in Italy. Water isn't quite so contested there as far as I know.

Are they really obligated to offer unlocks now? I stopped getting subsidized phones 5 or so years ago (and it seems carriers mostly don't offer them anymore anyway), but I fought tooth and nail with multiple carriers to get my paid-for device unlocked, and usually the answer was "piss off".

You say yourself that checklists are great, and it is proven that they save lives. So if there is fatigue in using them over and over, and they are not perfect, well... get over it? Sure i can understand that it's boring to go through the same checklist 5 times a day, but come on, there are lives at stake here.

> It's also curious that copyrights use the language of rights, which are typically thought to be inalienable, yet are transferrable as economic assets in ways that most other rights are not.

As far as I understand it, the word “right” used to simply mean permission granted from some higher authority— “The duke has granted me the right to hunt in his forest”. The idea of inalienable rights came about much later (the Enlightenment?), as permissions granted from some authority higher than all earthly governments.

When someone questions my work, effort or results from what I feel is an illegitimate place (ex: they're just trying to score easy political points) I find the easiest way to resolve the situation is to ask them to take on some non-trivial component of the work and share it with the audience at a future date. Nothing shuts down jerk disrupters like the potential of performing hard work.
The AWS Baseline
Assuming $0.25/kWh (a very high electricity price), that's $0.90 per kiloliter (264 gallons). No one's going to die of dehydration at those prices, though sanitation may become expensive in poorer areas. (With the obvious public health implications...)

At that price greywater reuse and low-flow everything become obviously worthwhile. It boggles my mind that the average American uses 100 gallons of water per day, but that's partially because of how cheap water is.
To add to that, who are tired at the end of the day in a healthy physical way and most don't have problems with their sleep.

I believe this was reference to an old quote on HN when Dropbox was introduced.

It’s the HN equivalent of “less space than the Nomad, No Wireless. Lame.”
Of the top of my head:

Global flood covering all the land (no evidence, but it would leave evidence if it happened); the number of species that actually exist versus the described size of Noah’s Ark (ever been to a zoo? The bible describes the Ark as about the size of Berlin Zoo’s bird house); Luke chapter 2 says the census that makes Mary and Joseph go to Bethlehem was when Quirinus was governor of Syria and Herod was king of Judea, but Herod died 9 years before Quirinus took the job (also the Romans didn’t require people to return to the place of their birth for a census, because that’s a really dumb thing to do); and the total lack of evidence for the events in Exodus, when they should’ve been really obvious in the records and graveyards.

There are others, but I’m not a biblical scholar and don’t care enough to look closer.

> Why would anyone pay $9.99 a month for Dropbox when you can pay $9.99 for Office 365, get the full office suite for six users with 1TB of storage each?

Dropbox's entire business relies on reliable file sync. Microsoft on the other hand, has OneDrive as one of many services. If I'm setting up cloud services for businesses that need years of guaranteed service with little change and good customer support, I know Dropbox will be there. Microsoft on the other hand... not so sure.

Remember when OneDrive offered "unlimited" file storage then took it away 1 year later?

The OneDrive client sync (until maybe the past year) was extremely slow and unreliable once you hit 100k+ files. Dropbox was the only one that would get the job done.
Many of these devices are unlocked in bulk and sold overseas. This deprives them of the payments that they expected for fronting the cost of the device.
Counterpoint: carriers don't always make it easy to unlock your phone even if they allow you to do so as per the contract. It can involve lots of back and forth with clueless monkeys in their customer service department.

There's also the issue of legitimately buying/acquiring a phone, finding it to be locked and having no idea which carrier it is locked to nor how to go about getting it unlocked. It isn't an easy process even if everything is legitimate and the phone was acquired legally and not stolen nor its IMEI/ESN being banned anywhere.

The truth is, phone unlocking is designed to be a shit-show on purpose and practices like these are just a natural consequence of that. Make unlocking straightforward and user-friendly (or just don't lock phones to begin with) and the market for these illegal things will dry up significantly.

I won't say it's not challenging, but bear in mind that while the plasma is at high temperature, it has very low density. The atoms are moving really fast but there aren't many of them. Consequently the amount of heat is comparable to fossil plants.
Those both seem like implementation issues.

> So a plant is actually bad at photosynthesising when it’s warm and there’s the most sunlight?

Yes. That is one of the big reasons why it is difficult to grow crops in desert regions even with irrigation.

> Why?

Thermal properties of chemical reactions. There is a very narrow range of temperatures at which the chemical reactions needed for plant life and growth can occur. The space of possible chemical reactions are limited by the availability and distributions of various elements and molecules in the environment that the plant has available, so there is not going to be a magic evolution or breeding of heat-tolerant crops that will violate these chemical constraints.

> Wouldn’t this mean greenhouses are BAD for plants?

Greenhouses are not "tropical desert hot houses." They are used to boost temperature in cold climates for the specific crops that are grown. Tomatoes like 25 degrees Celsius, but, for example, lettuce will not grow if it is above 21 degrees Celsius.
Woah bad math on my part. This is a good point, and changes my view on the viability of rainwater collection.

Why I Am Not a Physicalist
Hang on. I think you're missing the point. It's not about how "if you've read one, you've read them all". The fact that MacBeth is another way to tell the Futile Struggle Against Fate story doesn't in any way diminish the creativity or power or uniqueness of the work. The point is that if it's not an archetypical story it won't resonate with the human mind, and the writer will fail.

We tell the same stories again and again because there's a finite set of stories that engage our mind, whether we like it or not.
I read a while ago that Samsung’s TLC erase unit size was 3MB, so I like aligning to multiples of 12MB. This covers 1.5, 2, 3, and 4MB. No one will miss a few megabytes, and you’re pretty much guaranteed that things are aligned, no matter what the underlying format is.

Opioid Distributors Propose $10B to End State Claims
It may be easier to understand the point being made here if we consider what it means to be entirely absent these grammar. AIUI, but can't come up with a concrete link on the Internet quickly, Koko, the gorilla that knew some ASL, tended to speak in sentences like "Koko koko cup cup cup koko koko want want want cup cup cup", if they were transcribed literally. With such utterances, there is no way to distinguish between "Koko wants the cup" and "The cup wants Koko", or even "Koko wants the cup to want Koko".

There are animals that have demonstrated some "semantics". There are parrots that do better than Koko with spoken language, but still do not produce anything like the grammatical constructs humans do. Everything I've seen out of parrots could be covered by memorizing a handful of grammar constructs in a very brute-force manner, and they have no deliberate ability to combine them.

The core point is that to distinguish '"A dog bit my friend" and "My friend bit a dog."' requires grammar, which so far as I know as one who tends to pay attention to these things, is not a thing that animals have ever demonstrated a deep understanding of (if there are animals that could distinguish that, that is probably their maximum limit) and certainly never demonstrated production of. (Or, at the very least, we've never decoded and proved is speech, if you're thinking of whales and dolphins and such.) If you produce and understand speech as the Koko sentence above, you can't distinguish those two sentences. It's not about whether changing subject and object makes a "different sentence" by some metric, it's about whether the animal in question has a well-defined usage of subject and object as distinct grammatical categories at all.

For example, in my sentence "The cup wants Koko" I used earlier, it is invalid, yet everyone here reading it has at the very least the same understanding of why it is invalid, because what it says and the grammar of why it says that is completely clear to us.
