I think this "Roundup is a dangerous poison" was a propaganda meme that came out of the need to demonize US agribusiness in Europe. It's a kind of social activism protectionism. I would not be at all surprised to learn it was sustained by funding from ag interests in Europe.

OF course Roundup is not a dangerous poison. This is simply a lie that is repeated over and over by the dishonest and the gullible.
I’ve got to ask. But did you consider your parents rich or just just upper middle class. I have a few rich friends and nothing like what happened to you would ever happen to them. First, they would not need to ask for money. That comes from a trust where they get an allowance.

I had one friend who feigned being broke because he would spend all his allowance before the next disbursement arrived. And would borrow money from friends.

In each case their job was assured. they were graduating into the family business or to manage its wealth. Or start their own business with financial help from the trust.
Interesting, so because a nuclear ramjet runs closer to the line there’s less time to make adjustments and control things to prevent RUD. I guess that makes testing all the more difficult/dangerous.

Thanks for such a thorough explanation that I could actually follow! Much appreciated.

You're already eating dsRNA. Plants have microRNA precursors and viruses. We eat plants.

Roundup is a synthetic herbicide - that they both could be used in agriculture is when the similarity ends.

I live in Denmark where about 60% of the land is used for agriculture. I’m also a fly fisherman and entomology is almost a natural side effect of this hobby. This summer I’ve seen the best mayfly and caddis hatches that I’ve seen in several years. This is totally anecdotal and there likely many other factors, but increased organic farming and possibly already the ban of neonics could be showing its effects.
Will check that out, thanks
MFA - what you have.

I personally prefer this golang library to generate my OTP codes https://github.com/pquerna/otp as it's much faster than running a python script.

My personal computer is the 'what I have' to do the second factor of authentication for most sites via a shell script, followed by xclip (linux) or pbcopy (mac). I prefer this over browser extensions using javascript to paste in your OTP code for you.
So you mention "generally achievable" and then bring up London in the same sentence? Really? Vast majority of British people don't live in London. It's like saying that home ownership is UK is unachievable because no one in London can afford to buy anymore. Which is true, but it has nothing to do with the rest of the country.
Ask HN: What was your Barcelona coding bootcamp experience?
Hi,

Has anyone attended a Barcelona-based coding school/bootcamp? If so, which school was it and how was the experience? I would like to hear from someone who has actually attended one to help me choose between them. I've looked at the ratings on SwitchUp[1] and they are basically all 5 star, so I'm not sure how reliable that is.

Here are the schools that I was particularly interested in (but recommendations of others are welcome):

* CodeOp

* SkyLab

* Le Wagon

* Barcelona Coding School

Thanks!

The article does a horrible job making the case though. It makes the case for prime video, which is exclusive to prime and therefore incentivizes you to be a prime member. Then it tries to connect a Bezos quote about the Golden Globes to an award won by “You Are (Not) Small”. But how is “You Are (Not) Small” driving prime membership? It is only available in paperback and hardcover, so it is not part of prime reading or amazon first reads, which are benefits of amazon prime. Sure, it may be included in a Prime Book Box, but that is squarely an Amazon publishing program that solely deals in books and is just cobranded with prime.
Since neonics have a half-life of ~30 days when exposed to sunlight (unclear if that’s continuous exposure or what), it could be that we see some statistically significant improvements sooner than the 1000 days.
I make about £40k a year which is neither low nor very high by British standards and we could survive on my salary alone. Take home per month is about £2300, the mortgage is £700 a month which leaves plenty of money for bills and food and other expenses.
Wow. This is ridiculously derailing the general discussion, but I don’t know whether you can PM me an email address or something, but when I get back to Stockholm tomorrow I could photograph and send you any number of images showing this happening.

It does indicate both how blind Swedes are to the faults in their own country, and how passionately defensive they are though.

Edit: This doesn’t seem to me to be highly relevant to the general discussion on shrinkflation, but to avoid the very active downvotes I’ll post to imgur tomorrow evening (when back in town).
I’m not sure “good” is the right adjective to use here.
why hasn't it aged well? re: c#, afaik LINQ would solve this particular problem, so perhaps the solution wouldn't be as verbose nowadays. but other than that it still rings true – I miss Haskell when doing Python and keep coming up with weird hacks to shoehorn functional stuff into it (ask me about the time i used async/await to implement something like do-notation...) which probably makes me a "worse" python programmer, same as TFA
Antibiotics are used to treat a specific infection. You don't take a pill of antibiotics every morning with your coffee.[1]

Insecticides are usually applied pretty indiscriminately.

I think that's quite a difference.

[1] At least that's how they are supposed to be used. In agriculture (again agriculture, is this a pattern?) they are used indiscriminately in many parts of the world because it enables animals to be kept in insanely crowded conditions.
>Our stomach pH is very low, comparable to carrion eaters and some carnivores.

Hmm... this is how you get into an argument where people talk past each other. You may be correct when it comes to that little nugget of information, but when it comes to the larger context, that piece of information will not make sense to someone who has other contradicting pieces of information. ( for example a vegan who thinks that humans ought to have huge canines to be a carnivore).

Anyway it's unfair of me to critique your style/content of your argument without offering an alternative. How about this?:
Ask the person who is into the 'plant based' belief to conduct an experiment of eating only meat for 2 months and then report the results. i.e if both of you agree that most 'science' and 'research' is flawed. Of course it goes without saying that you too should have performed this experiment on yourself.

Side note - I have been carnivore for 6 years ( 99% of my diet is red meat, eggs and dairy ).
That is absolutely not feasible right now.

To start with, many cities have no fly zones around their airports that already cut down on who you can serve. Then there's the fact that you need a sizable drone to carry a payload big enough for meals. The bigger the drone, the bigger the landing zone you'll need.

Flight times are heavily limited by batteries which means you'd have to swap batteries frequently. Then there's the fact that you'd need someone to pilot them, at least for the landing part. On top of that drones would be heavily limited by the weather.

And all that is not even getting into liability and FAA regulations. There is no way Uber or anyone else is gonna be air dropping food deliveries without charging a pretty big fee and even then there'd be a lot of limitations.
False equivalence.

> One problem with reducing meat consumption is the general low skill level for cooking. Vegetarian food can taste better than meat dishes but you need skill and good ingredients. I have mixed feelings about Beyond Meat: my wife and I love the hot Italian sausage and burgers, but it is really not that healthy.

What? I make stew of any legumes and it does not require more skills than cooking meat.

This is SHIT.

No one in HN can be bothered re-writing it so it's not BS badly written anecdotal evidence?

It doesn't even seem to state what it actually is CORRECTLY.

Which I thought involved fluctuations .

"which states that when a phenomenon evolves very slowly, as a general trend, with important fluctuations from one year to the next, the fluctuations hide the trend and what is seen as normal is modified from one year to another."

But it's all made up anyway as far as I can see.

People get used to things, yep, we know that.

Define it more tightly and have some proper examples if you have something to add to what we all know.

A similar thing happened to a local "celebrity" (guy in their 30's films himself on the bathroom with underage girls, wiping their asses; or kissing underage kids in the mouth), and YouTube does absolutely nothing, even after he was criminally investigated for possible sexual harassment (aggravated for commercial purposes).

EDIT: It seems YouTube did close their channel, after the criminal investigation. This should really be the opposite.

> Meanwhile, a good lentil stew is a much more involved project. Much less home-made veggie burger patties which have dozens of ingredients and elaborate preparation processes.

Really? I never thought that to be the case. To me, making a stew of lentils is just as easy as cooking meat. Sure, depending on the type of lentils it may take longer, but then there is red lentils which takes 20 minutes of cooking. It really is simple, I do not see why people make it sound like as if it was magic. Also... what do these meat eaters eat their meat with? Or do they eat meat on its own?

That seems fairly high for the UK. “The median annual income in the UK, according to the most recent Annual Survey of Hours and Earnings, is £28,677 for full-time employees.” 1.4x the median income is comparable to many dual income families in the UK.

Investors have been massively wrong before on all kinds of things which has led to market crashes. So the fact that some investors believe Uber will become a strong, profitable business in the foreseeable future doesn't count for much.

The market is not perfectly rational. It's vulnerable to hype and there's a lot of money to be made by exploiting that hype and selling before the bubble bursts.

Not that we do nothing. We can ban pesticides, return back to heuristic based agriculture where mistakes are localized and inventions are robust and of limited scale.

Pesticides are mostly used for crops that humans do not eat directly. Food safety was never about beans or sweet potato or other efficient plant sources of protein and calories, it was about wheat, soybean and corn.

Their introduction, just like the introduction of GMOs is a result of a livestock agriculture lobbyists that made sure to increase yield of meat and other animal based products by promoting the use of aggressive compounds. These products are not a strategy for food safety but for luxurious and wasteful eating.
I've seen "it was ever thus" serve as a rationalization. I'd have liked to see an acknowledgement of the question of rightness of power; otherwise, I think it just reinforces the default. Even (in so many words): "perhaps it's neither fair nor optimal for society that you have so much power over others, but, given that you do [then all the stuff about responsibility]"

Hilarious quote. Imagine opening a bank that lets you get free unmetered cash at ATM's, on the theory that it will be like free drinks refills at restaurants, because how much spending money do you really need? Except "ooops, it turns out people really like money."
The wording is a bit tricky, so one has to pay attention. 1) they are talking specifically about neonicotinoid pesticides and 2) this is because this is one of the pesticides that are known to have a disproportionately detrimental affect on bees.

There is an aspect of farming that is not discussed much in popular articles which is that of the timing of application. I believe that this is a concrete deliverable that both saves time and money and is feasible.

I went to an English boarding school long enough ago for the intent of that system to still be to train the officer class of the British Empire. But not so long ago that it was actually practical for any of us to realistically be colonial administrators.

This piece reminds me of that education. We were in the middle of the feminist and multi-cultural ideological revolutions. Being culturally aware; not insisting that British culture is superior to everyone else's, was both socially mandatory and against the dominant narrative of the school's educational message. It made for interesting confrontations between the institution and the students and staff

Britain had lost its empire, and the institutions that were set up to administer that empire, and train the administrators of that empire, were failing. Are still failing; though the UK's latest PM is an archetypal product of that system, he is being parodied for it rather than respected for it.

I wonder if America is going through the same thing? For decades the USA has been utterly, unshakably confident that its values, its culture, are superior to the everyone else's. Now... not so much?
Yeah but when faced with the choice between the tomatoes that were $8.50/kg and really nice but would go off in 2 days, vs. the tomatoes that were $4.50/kg and still nice and red and lasted a whole week but were pretty tasteless, you bought the latter, didn't you?

This is very true, common with e.g. cheese where the pricier cheeses are often per 100g. Still easy to compare but somewhat shady.
This argument always leaves me scratching my head. I can’t see a difference between arguments for our living in a simulator and arguments for George Berkeley’s Idealism. It really seems as if the simulator theory is an atheistic rediscovery of theism, with the word “God” scratched out and the word “aliens” or “future us” written in. And if so, there’s a very long history of philosophy and theology—Descartes’s Meditations come to mind—that can help inform our questioning and experimentation, not to mention ease (or redirect) our fears.
I think you've touched on an important point here: Not only do we demand perfect looking produce, we demand it out of season, and we demand it to be shipped in from all over the world on a daily basis.

The reason we use pesticides is because farmers need to increase yields to meet demand. But what if we didn't demand asparagus in winter. What if we didn't demand apples in spring? What if people in northern climates didn't eat pineapple or coconut or bananas regularly? What if we bought food from the store that had bruises or imperfections?
So don't live in London.

I'm moving out because it's an inheritance society. You need an income of more than 150-200K to buy a family home that isn't crap by the standards of anyone outside of the bubble.

It really is that simple. London is closed to newcomers. Go and have your fun as a youngster - but setting up there is daft unless you're an entrepreneur and will actually make big money.
> If there is some invisible but safe-for-us chemical that increases yield

In fact increased yield is also kind of good for the environment because this way agriculture needs less space. (Speaking of deforestation because of agriculture...) But still, insecticides, fungicides etc. have been used far too carelessly in the past and of course it takes years or sometimes decades to see the effects...
Uber isn't Facebook or Google, though. Plenty of Uber drivers work for more than one company, and there's nothing to stop a new arrival from poaching a ton of Uber drivers, as long as they give the right incentives. Facebook was protected by network effects, YouTube by the large video library. From the end user's point of view Uber has no such protection.

I just want to share an anecdotal story with regards to "tasteless" produce from super markets.

I used to absolutely despise eating salad, I never knew why but I always just thought it was boring and I'd rather eat anything else; However, my girlfriend and I wanted to buy produce that wasn't wrapped in plastic so we started to shop at a local market held each week.

There we meet a Tongan farmer who grew everything using traditional methods, the biggest difference he said was that he used absolutely minimal irrigation (unless absolutely required due to drought at planting) and he also said that what made vegetables bitter was pesticides and it turned people off them (so I'm assuming he dind't use them). He said that the lack of pesticides and excessive water is what made his stuff taste so great, and his groups had to be a little tougher to survive so he believed they were healthier crops.

Anyway the guy was legit and he and his wife often held weekends where you could visit his farm and see everything, it was real deal.

The main point I wanted to make was that, while we were being produce from this guy, I noticed that I actually loved eating the salads, like became quite addicted to them, he even sold the flowers from all the vegetables and told us the best nutrients are found in the flours, they were delicious. Ever since we moved away and no longer had access to this guys produce, I went off them immediately again. I really dislike standard supermarket produce.
