I think purpose is important, and creates meaning. I don't know if struggle creates purpose, but maybe it does in the sense that purpose comes from wanting reality to be different than it is, and I guess any way in which reality isn't perfect for you would count as some kind of struggle.
Exactly my point. A (properly designed) dsRNA only targets a single organism. It's not like an insecticide that kills everything, so is sprayed all the time. Other insects don't build up resistance, as it has no impact on them. If resistance builds up in the target insect, well, we're back where we started using toxic insecticides. Given the sequence is easy to change, resistance on a sequence basis at least is unlikely in the target itself.
Most supermarkets have pint baskets where you’re allowed to sample. Sometimes they have sampling and “pit” trays. So people do have a choice at least in some supermarkets.

The big issue for consumers (me inc) is shelflife. I want them to last more than 3 days in the fridge.

Seascapes and Rosas have a decent combo of shelflife and taste.
I had no clue that was primarily a Northeast Corridor thing. I wonder if this stems from being the region that invented the price tag in the first place. [1] Curiously Pennsylvania (primary concentration of religious group that invented the price tag, the Quakers) doesn't make that list.

That seems to me to fit with the characterization "neither low nor very high".
Not so high. Also, that includes younger people than a person with 3 kids, and people who chose not to attend higher education. Presumably the median for his age group and education level is higher.

I base my opinion on three court cases in the USA where evidence was borught to court that Monsanto knew many years ago about the cancer causing risks. on what do you base "this is simply a lie" ?
I have been on similar kicks for drawing similarities between the two, but it never pans out to anything useful. I.e how does this move the science forward?

I can play devil's advocate (aka classic hacker news' commenter) and say what about inhibiting neurons? Tonic neurons? What about the ability for the brain to do recall after hearing a name once? Procedural memory? Does the relationship you point out help you understand any of these things?

Although I have no evidence for it, living in rural America - I’ve noticed a similar increase in allergies and severeness in allergies increase the region. Personally, I’d like to see some meaningful independent research there.
Well unless you talk about city states, the vast majority of the population of any country is not living in any particular city in that state.

Salaries in the rest of the country are lower, so you'd be making a similar comparison with let's say $20K in eg Sheffield.

Obviously there's people living on that budget, but the point of the advice was to not break that budget, even if twice the amount were available.

Which even if you're very frugal you are unlikely to do. You're gonna think of something to spend that extra 20K on, and it's not dumb to spend at least some of it.

To me the advice sounds like "if you and your wife are partners in law firms, save half the money".

I agree with all of this and had similar marital benefits. It’s still a risky proposition.

When I hear about people meeting and being engaged a year later I just can’t fathom that working (I know it can and does, but I think it introduces a ton of risk).

Cooking is a basic part of human life and has been for millenia.

Comparing it to C++ programming is absurd.

Once the true costs of meat are priced in, people will figure it out. They're not going to just starve, chucking a few things in a pot is not some great hardship.

The viewpoint that cooking is some super difficult thing seems to be prevalent on Hacker News.

If anything, cooking vegetables is far easier than cooking meat, because it's difficult to get it wrong. Meat can go bad far more easily, requires cooking properly, etc. By contrast most vegetables can be eaten raw, or 'chuck it in a pot and boil it and wait a bit'. Add spices and oil. Done.
So ? if stealing means imitating how the existing technology and figuring out how it works then its a fast and efficient way to learn something.

Court cases are not good ways to determine science. In a particularly egregious case in the 1980s, for example, a jury returned a verdict for a defendant in which it was claimed that a head injury in a car accident led to lung cancer.

> One of the main problems and trying to solve at the moment is how to write mathematical notation using the tools I have at hand, which is a Mac, Sublime Text and DragonDictate for Mac.

Sounds like LaTeX should be an option. When I write LaTeX I use vim and the KDE PDF viewer Okular. When I save the file I let a script compile it and Okular automatically updates when the new PDF file is ready.

While I do all that with a keyboard, I guess it shouldn't be that hard to set it up with voice commands (judging from the video in the blog post). I don't know how PDF viewers act on a Mac, but using sublime instead of vim should be no problem. To speed up the creation of formulas you might want to take a look at this post (it uses vim, but maybe there are some good ideas you can make use of):

If you only look at wealth as a bunch of numbers on account statements, then yes, it's pretty unfair to feel responsibility thrust upon you for having a bigger number.

But that's an abstraction and a distraction from the truth of the matter: wealth is capital. It's access to means and it's ownership of resources and property and everything else. It's one thing to be bullied because you drive an expensive car (as a teenager) and take luxury vacations to private islands. It's another thing entirely to be heir to a huge corporation, let alone a petro-state like Saudi Arabia.

With the twin spectres of climate change and trade war (escalating into armed conflict), there is a hell of a lot of responsibility placed upon the elite. Frankly, I'm not shocked at all that people are overwhelmed enough to abdicate. The question is who will step and take charge? The current crop of candidates do not inspire confidence.

I get your point but equally the point of programming languages is to abstract away the harder stuff. The question is just how much abstraction developers want between the code and the execution.

Customers in many cases don't have the information to know the potential long term damages of buying the $4.50/kg tomatoes. It's insane to put that burden on the end user as opposed to the tomato grower. How in the world is the customer supposed to know what pesticides are used and what the damages could be?

Trying to flatten all these problems into the failings of individual customer decisions completely obfuscates the actual cause of these problems. Which is generally an economic system that puts private profits above everything else.

This programmer can't code with taking the constraints of the program's environment into consideration.

After learning an unrelated programming language he isn't able to write idiomatic code in a different programming language with a different paradigms.

That's like being depressed when wanting to curse in English as the Russian curse words are much better but when translating them into English, they lose a lot of their appeal.

This programmer should learn that you shouldn't fight the basic premises of a language. That leads sometimes to ugly code but this often is still the best you can do within this particular language.

Also the next programmer to maintain this code will be much happier.

That’s actually very clever.

I am a long term PHP dev and my thoughts are:

1) This approach will not work in the long term. Over time, various gotchas!, weird behaviors, and other glitches will creep into each side; eventually these will lead to different public libraries that seek to mimic behavior of the other version. Tutorials will sprout across the web, but only work for one version or the other.

That is, it It will just lead to more confusion. One code base always please.

2) This FAQ ignores general evolution in the wider programming community. Modern language design, at least for web development, seems to be moving to the features discussed in P++. see Typescript, Flow, Python. I think PHP internals should either choose to be purposefully different (e.g. Go is still resisting generics), or keep up with the Joneses.

3) I don't think this letter accurately reflects the path of a fork. The reality is either:

- one or the other would clearly win in under a year (or less), in which case most contributors, frameworks, and library maintainers will move to the winner

- The communities split roughly evenly; some frameworks + libs go A, some B. It might leave each side short-handed initially, but in the long haul it will bring forth devs more interested in the "vision" of their path
There are much better labels than "organic" to indicate flavor. "Heirloom", "local", "in-season", "small plot", "not greenhouse grown", "small", "picked ripe", "picked today" are all labels that are more likely to indicate flavor than organic, IMO.

But the best is to find a producer or label that prioritizes flavor.

Organic produce has monopolized the premium section of supermarkets. Without organic, supermarkets would find some other way to sell higher margin produce to less price conscious consumers. That dimension would probably be taste (or locality, which I have another rant about).

> if our universe has been created by an advanced civilization for research purposes, then it is reasonable to assume that it is crucial to the researchers that we don’t find out that we’re in a simulation.

Not necessarily. If we're in a simulation, then perhaps it's one that's a young superbeing's primary school science fair project, designed before they've learned much empathy.

If we're a child's school project, and we realize it, perhaps our best bet is to display some conspicuous redeeming value. Or at least be interesting.

The acceleration needed to get press coverage? Absolutely not.

The other qualities of a good EV? Absolutely yes.

Having driven a Tesla Model S for several years now, I have to say that it has the best low-speed handling of any car I've ever driven. You can control it's motion very precisely in the 0-5mph range (far better than any ICE I've ever driven), and "autopilot" can do most of the "bumper-to-bumper start-and-stop" grunt work for you. Of course none of this makes for a loud press release, so it rarely gets mentioned.
