Corn and soybeans are most definitely rotated. Peanuts are a common nitrogen fixer and Alfalfa is great too.

>This crop rotation benefits both alfalfa and wheat/barley/corn. On the one hand, cereals tend to decrease the development of weeds, leaving the field free for the alfalfa cultivation. On the other hand, there are findings suggesting that corn following alfalfa yields approximately 10% more than corn following corn.[1]

I have this feeling like 30% of the time on HN and never know how to articulate it. I was online in the 90s and never expected to see so much widespread support for curbing free speech.

It's like the Russians won.
"Cue your ball in the center as often as you can. Don’t use something hard to control unless you have to." [edit: referring to too much english on the ball]

this was a nice life lesson for me, learned while playing 3-cushion in college. the KISS principle was something i'd heard of before, but sometimes only experience can knock sense into you.
Based on how well it appeared to work they definitely "threw it all together".
When you factor in the extremely small percentage of aspiring football players that will actually make it big, coupled with the now extremely clear effects of CTE... I openly ponder: What dollar figure would you require to willingly participate in a repetitive action that is known to cause long term brain damage (and essentially, brain death given CTE)?

Yeah, you might have a better quality of life (money wise) temporarily, but I would argue the horribleness one with CTE experiences at the end of their life outweighs that temporary benefit.
Hey Guys, to widen the discussion and make this more searchable, I'd hope for your feedback here for the whole community: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20966349
That sounds reasonable if the absorption rate is not uniform. Any source for this?
Someone else in a separate comment chain in this thread posited the same point (that fact checks happen more often for right-leaning videos than for left-leaning videos). I asked for data to support that assertion but wasn't provided any. Do you have data to support what you are inferring?

But nudging TDEE by 10 percent over the course of a year has a HUGE effect on body composition. Even 0.01% does.
I heard a story once about a (then) young man. He was newly married and playing Monopoly with his sister and his new wife. He was losing, and he decided not to play the game anymore. He communicated his decision by literally flipping the game board off the table. Little houses and hotels ricocheting and skittering all over the room.

This was years ago. I believe that the man now has anti-depressants to help him control his emotions a little bit better.
I just played around with git-bug a bit ... I like it! It's kind of what I had in mind but I was going to create a BE compatibility mode. What it does do differently is stores the bugs in the reference tree so that no files are added to the project (well ... the ones that are added are in .git). Bugs and comments are committed and show up in the tree so I'm experimenting with how to run git log (aliases) without them showing up).
Not all sugar is the same. Fruits are extremely healthy for you.
Thanks for the thoughtful response.

I don't mean to imply that there's a conspiracy here. What I mean is that I think the Plan 9 heritage is clouding strategic decisions around the Go toolchain. What may have been the right decision to get a new language off the ground is not necessarily the right decision once the language is widely popular and stable.

> Migrating Go today to LLVM would of course be a big, time-consuming zero-velocity project; you'd want to be really certain that the payoff would be worth the effort.

A big project, yes, but it's happening! [3] If a few engineers working on gollvm for a year or two could improve gollvm to the point that it made the average Go program run 20% faster, I'd think that would absolutely be worth it to Google.

> GCC is not an easy project to deal with, either. For decades, its internal intermediate representation was undocumented and intentionally obfuscated to ensure FSF/GNU control over backends.

Very true in general, but the Go team has been lucky in that GCC core maintainer Ian Taylor has been a member since the early days. Gccgo has been a spec-conformant Go compiler since 2012 [2], and so nearly all of the GCC-integration bits have been in place for seven years. As a result, it's far more a matter of staffing the project so that the Go frontend's inliner, garbage collector, and escape analysis can reach parity with gc, rather than dealing with GCC/FSF politics.

> You can browse the original commit here. That stuff has all been rewritten in Go.

Yeah, I'm familiar with the lineage. I don't know that I'd say that it's been rewritten in Go, though, as the toolchain and runtime were converted fairly automatically with a "c2go" tool that Russ Cox wrote [0] around the Go 1.5 release. Have you looked at the resulting code much? Some of it has been rewritten to be idiomatic Go, but a lot of it is still very clearly C code that has been automatically translated [1]. See also the fact that go/src/runtime/runtime.go, go/src/runtime/runtime1.go, and go/src/runtime/runtime2.go all exist—a consequence of the fact that runtime.go, runtime.c, and runtime.h all existed in Go 1.4 [2].

I did some searching around and finally settled on rsync as a backup system about 5 years ago, and I've been happy since. I don't understand the fixation on finding the lowest price solution - pay more, get more. With rsync you get their in-house hardware and engineers on the support desk. I use it to back up my FreeNAS ZFS shares, which is dead-simple process, and a bunch of web servers. Getting historical snapshots is genius. I also love being able to use any SFTP client I like instead of some dedicated client or a web interface. My data is not available through a web page - that's exactly the way I like it. Bravo Rsync, keep up the good work.
Does anyone know how much we can absorb? Like if we can only take in 1 out of the 50, then I don't care if its down to 10. Anyone know the science on mineral absorption?
I agree. I mean to say if we restrict to exclusively signaling wealth, rather than other things.
Plausibly, if what I want is "start a kubernetes cluster with an ingress and a database", that's portable to every cloud provider. However, with terraform, you have to write platform-specific code to do this that isn't portable between providers.
I agree with your analysis and think this is a helpful way to think about what has and hasn't changed.
Partialrecall - my concerns are my own but the point I was attempting to make has nothing to do with what you're talking about. All of which I agree.

My point is the body is very complex and any attempt to simplify it is doing a disservice to anyone listening to you.

I was overweight for 20 years and lost the weight by calorie reduction. It works - clearly. But in a forum reserved for educational discussion I'm not OK glossing over the complexity of the body because it's true in the general case. That'd be as sinful as saying quantum physics is wrong because newtonian is generally the deciding set of rules.
Hi, made an account for this reply.
I have no idea about DW but I would strongly advise you to take The Guardian with a grain of salt. I’m a (non-US) veteran and from my own personal experience (and personal biases, mind you), The Guardian is way off about its reporting. Will often (as most media) present a certain bias that just makes it impossible for me to trust them on any other subject I’m not involved in. In British journalism, BBC is better imo. However, a bias still exists. NYT’s investigative journalism is also not bad.
Addressing the Guardian, I’d say their biggest issue is failing to address previous events that led to the current action. A (fake) example would be: Taliban deployed IEDs outside of a school zone, US retaliated and killed four combatants and two civilians in a drone strike. The Guardian’s headline would be: “US drone strike kills six, two of which civilian”. Is it wrong? No. Is it provoking? Yes, at least in my eyes. The rest of the article would probably discuss the US drone program or the specific event, rather than the chain of events as a whole. The IED incident might not be reported at all prior to the strike. Both the headline and the article itself have a disastrous impact on public opinion.
In all of them? I doubt it. I can believe that some software patent somewhere have a clever idea that is not described elsewhere -- but I still have to find such patent.

Let's take for exa/mple first google hit for "software patent", which for me is https://patents.google.com/patent/US6353926B1/en "Software update notification".
In my opinion, it is completely useless.

- It has nothing particularly innovative. It describes a specific Windows update mechanism in needless details -- while it is a solid design, most engineers, given the same problem, would come up with similar design. I know I did, and I did not know anything about OSD, CDF or windows update subsystem at all.

- It does not present information clearly. The text is hard to read and needlessly complicated. There are better sources of information about this topic -- I am sure there is a MSDN article and a dozen of blog posts which describe this much better.

- It did not even motivate the inventor! I am almost sure that whatever motivation Microsoft had for promoting Open Software Description standard, it was not to get this patent.

So what good is this patent? As far as I can see, there is no public benefit at all. The only value is for Microsoft, so they can threaten others and stifle competition.
I think we can put the "racist" card away since DeepIn secretly collected analytics about their users without telling anyone.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deepin#Reception
Yea the RBAC part is tricky. I think you need PAM or some sort of agent on the hosts to do that if you need individual user accounts (vs "principal" accounts that map to server groups like "frontend", "backend", "database"). The latter isn't a terrible option when you use certs, fwiw, since you can still get good audit by encoding the actual user in the certificate, which gets logged to `auth.log`. Still, not ideal for everyone.

This is one of a handful of problems we're working to solve / streamline for an SSH product. We might even open source this bit, but not sure yet. If we don't, it still probably wouldn't be $hundreds/$thousands per month unless you have a huge org. If you're interested at all I'd love to talk more about this -- what your requirements are, whether you want hosted/not hosted, whether you want to pay at all / how much you'd be willing to pay, etc. Easiest thing to do to stay in the loop is send us your email at https://smallstep.com/sso-ssh/ by "requesting early access" and we'll reach out to schedule a convo & keep you updated as we make progress. Or just watch our blog! :)
I tried a sleeper bus in China and to be frank I was scared to death the whole ride. Now traffic in the US is safer but by no means perfect. It just takes one idiot to take out a bus full of sleeping passengers. I don't think I could sleep.
> at what point does...

That really depends on the economic and other consequences of flipping the table. Dies a single, albeit large, bad actor like China warrant a table flip? What proportion of mail comes from them and what from developed nations with whom we'll need to come to new agreements, drastically increasing the friction of overseas shipping to everyone involved?

I'm not sure this is the wrong move, in fact I think it might be the right one, but that's my gut. It doesn't seem like a real economic impact analysis has been done though, and that is problematic, making this seem much more politically motivated than from a position of careful consideration of what's in our best interest.
As a trained philosopher, I'm inclined to be as charitable as possible, and even though you make a valid point, yours is quite a weak argument. For example, I'm not a soldier, but I can still posit that engaging in combat with non-military civilians is not morally justifiable.

I can make these kinds of arguments by analogy or generalization. So I hope you can see how (and more importantly why) we can think about morally-difficult problems like abortion even though we're not women, war even though we're not soldiers, etc.
Tbh I think the truth is somewhere in between and much more complicated than it is usally painted especially in the anglosphere (which has turned extremely tribal in the UK and US over the past decade).

She apparently got her first contact with climate groups through a writing contest where she wrote on climate change/climate politics, so her motivation was prexisting. Whether they use her or she used them (or it was some kind of symbiosis or a cold blooded deal) would be hard to quantify objectively, especially if she has similar political goals than her, so I'd be careful with assumptions, especially if they make you sound like you go for an ad hominem attack. I remember myself als a 16 year old, I was definitly not unpolitical, quite the opposite and manipulating me into supporting something I didn't like would have been quite hard back then, maybe harder even harder than now.

Of course viewing her as a lone wolf is completely nuts and I am quite sure neither herself nor the people who started the school protests in her wake would subscribe to that notion (at least I heard it beeing discussed by some Fridays for Future kids in Germany). This is obviously a media narrative by journalists who got carried away. On the other hand claiming that she is "pushed around by faceless actors" is also a bit bland. Firstly if these actors weren't faceless but well known they wouldn't have to rely on somebody else to push messages out, secondly I'd argue that this symbolic action is far better than the alternative (something like flying drones over Heathrow Airport to get media attention), thirdly if "faceless actors" in the background worry you, there are much much better targets to attack (e.g. the UK prime minister, industry lobbyists in the US, etc.)

The topics she is speaking onare certainly not the ones that have a incredibly powerful lobby behind it (in terms on lobbying money spent), so if we speak of "creepy faceless actors" behind her, you can assume the actors on the opposite site are tenfold as creepy and faceless, certainly profit from discrediting the person and there is historical evidence that they exist, profit from it and use their influence.

All that aside. The future generations have a valid moral argument. We have known about global warming since half a century and did nothing – the opposite, in the wake of neoliberalism that followed the fall of the soviet union we made everything even more about profits than before. And now we are like that procrastinating kid that pushed homework away and tries to do it while the steps of the approaching teacher echo through the hallway: the only way to get out of this seems to break our own hand to be sent of to the nurse. From an outside perspective this is totally irrational behaviour unless there is proof that the reality looks different altogether. But there is no such proof, which is why the persons are attacked instead of their ideas. Not liking somebodies moral standpoint is a very weak defense when they stand for the wellbeing of many future generations and the survival of mankind.
I'm a doctor and I don't know what "step" is, so I guess it's region-specific. I do a lot of skin work. The difficulty with dermatology is that lesions can look very different in different people. It's kinda lucky that many rashes do okay with steroids, but many don't.
Or just comfort. They're definitely marketing it as a luxury option, at least in comparison to a regular flight or a regular bus.
Let's imagine a game with the following payoff matrix:

C D
C (5, 5) (1, 7)
D (7, 1) (0, 0)

If your opponent is defecting, you get one point and they get seven. If you defect on top of this, you both get zero - but everyone cooperating gives you both five points. Credibly threatening to defect, even though defection harms you, is the only way to convince your opponent to move to cooperation from defection.

Sometimes credibly threatening to perform an action involves actually following through with the threat.
I believe Facebook is censoring the existence of molemen located deep within the third layer of our hollow earth.

I am correct, because you cannot find a single video on Facebook which posits the existence of said molemen. Therefore, Facebook is censoring those videos.
Solution looking for a problem to solve? I have seen VR demos at SIGGRAPGH and film festivals the past 20 years without seeing the 'killer app' yet.
I've wondered about this too. I have no idea why people never discusses it.

I suspect it's an Illuminati secret.
I don't think this is new or that unexpected, but it should be talked about. We use to breed plants based on both taste and size, taste being altered significantly by mineral contents. Currently, we mostly only breed plants based on weight, taste doesn't factor into it, and increasing sugars and starches increases weight far better than any mineral count. Heirloom plants are generally considered luxury products and since they don't have as large of yields, aren't a good competition against commercial plants, despite the fact that most people agree heirloom plants taste better and usually have higher mineral counts.

Now I don't know how much the the growing medium effects this, our topsoil is getting thinner and is fed primarily on 'purified' artificial fertilizers, and heirloom plants are far more likely to be home garden or 'organically' grown, but im willing to bet plant genetics play a much bigger role in mineral contents than anyone wants to admit. It would be another hit to the idea that current farming practices are sustainable long term and nobody wants to admit that.
Ask HN: Why is there no secondary market for computer parts?
Don't know why you were downvoted. A sedentary lifestyle is a health risk, and all engineers should 100% learn ergonomics (balance your body, don't force it to keep position)

I expect there are jobs that are "medium duty" that are actually health-enhancing. Somewhere between back-breaking labor and sedentary engineer.

I think a better analogy is the way GPU calculations are done, as the calculations are done in parallel but the process is ultimately sequential: move data from CPU RAM to GPU RAM, calculate in parallel on GPU, move results data back to CPU RAM, operate on the results data on the CPU serially.
why would that be any easier in a dynamically typed language?
"it’s often much easier for the programmer to write independent threads, each dedicated to its own part of the larger system."

oh, if only it were true...
AKA our brains are hyperthreaded. The observation doesn't seem that salient.

That said, I believe the article to be incorrect. Our brain does do various sorts of parallel processing (visual cortex, keeping your heart beating, maintaining sense of balance, etc). It's just that the cores happen to be more specialized.
I don't think I'm your target audience. I like thinking about what to wear. (I'm female so maybe HN will forgive me for being a bad technologist stereotype in this way)

What I would want would be if I stumbled out of bed, said "where the (expletive) is my warm but super short dress" and Tony Stark's butler made it fly out of under the five cardboard boxes it has somehow fallen behind and went "Dear lady, it is freezing outside. Would you like cheeky printed tights or lace ones with this? Your favorite leather jacket is probably piled up under your Macbook."

Alas, I do not have a robot butler, and so I am seriously considering sticking RFID tags inside my clothing so I can have an app that tells me whether it is, in fact, hung up somewhere and I'm too sleep deprived to see it or I forgot to do laundry again.

Interview with Edward Snowden
To my surprise I have heard, of Princeton in particular, that football is very important to alumni. When I visited, there was certainly no shortage of athletic swag sold across the street from campus.

They are in the Ivy League, which means they don't give out athletic scholarships. They would be crushed by any D1 team.
And, yet, the alumni (many of whom are deep-pocketed) care.
"Luckily, the hack would be difficult to launch, as an attacker must have access to the phone in question. "

Wow, it's almost like there's demand for a high-speed, non-driving land route between LA and SF. If only we had a fixed route land vehicle that could provide a smooth, direct route that had enough space for people to do things like sleep, rest, and use the bathroom.

Maybe I'll call this idea 'a high-speed train' and propose that California build one between LA and SF... oh wait.
The actual cost to ship a package isn’t changing. Just who pays. Previously it’s all users of the US postal service, whether they are involved in shipments from China or not. It makes enormous sense to charge the person who is actually benefiting and not everyone.
i don't think the act of defining a term for later usage in an argument can be described as "no true scotsman", which is typically a mid-argument dismissal of a counterexample that contests a generalization.

to be such they would have had to (for example) been in the midst of debating the topic, and said something like "but a real abortion..." where their operating definition of "abortion" was effectively changed.
Maybe it's a proof of concept/test and more will be planned if successful?
