> Growing things without herbicides and pesticides is very difficult.

And not what organic aspires to, anyway, it just involves a fairly arbitrary set of exclusions as to which pesticides are used, which exclusions have no particular correspondence to either human health or environmental sustainability.

“Organic” is largely marketing, but what the marketing appeals to is woo to start with.
I hope that they use spiders that trawl social media sites for political posts by prospective candidates to weed out the ones with erroneous and excessive political points of view.

Probably because many of them were former English colonies.

Companies like Momentus [1] are happy to sell you a tug that will turn a rideshare to a common orbit into your unusual orbit.

Global climate disruption denialists will turn out to have caused, collectively, more human suffering and just general harm than Mao's, Stalin's, Hitler's, and Pol Pot's regimes combined. Maybe, more than the sum of all despots in history, all the way back to the first towns.
Organic foods are normally grown with organic pesticides that still harm the environment, but since the pesticides aren't synthetic, the food still keeps the organic label.
Headline 2 weeks from now: Facebook now says as many as 1000 developers may have accessed user data improperly
I consider myself pretty progressive, but I find the idea of forcing companies to "open up their networks" distasteful and problematic. I just doesn't seem piratical.

I've said it a few times before, I don't think the problem is the carriers, its that there are no penalties for telling a lie on the internet.

This is where we should start to fix this problem.
On Jan 15, 2015 (aka Black Thursday), the Swiss National Bank unexpectedly floated the Swiss Franc. Some major, well funded brokerages nearly failed as a result of the huge price movements -- their small customers who made a profit kept the profits, but too many small customers ended up with negative balances, the brokerages couldn't practically recover the losses.
Uber is a good thing for mobility, and by association probably also a good thing for destination businesses like bars and restaurants. It's a terrible thing for traffic, the environment, and probably public transit. Whether you think it's a good thing for cities or not will naturally depend on how you prioritize these factors.
This thing is slated for possible production in Q1 2020. In the mean time, they are seriously considering producing their pre-production devkits for general availability in the Pine store, as they are rather easy to produce. If you are interested, send them a message. There is more details about PineTime in the latest update: https://www.pine64.org/2019/11/05/brave-heart-edition-pineph...

Also the wiki at the bottom lists the SoC Datasheet, specs, schematics, etc. You might be able to find a similar platform (nrf2840) on alibaba or something. I'll bet the PineTime people can tell you on IRC or Slack.
In the UK typically people only fix for a short period, say 2 years, if at all. The premium for fixing for 25 years is quite high.
Not an insignificant part of it IS because of Elon Musk. SpaceX has been crazily successful, AND it has a high churn rate, so the know-how gets spread throughout the industry in startups like these. The latter may be bad for SpaceX (arguable?), but I think it's good for the industry.
That's exactly what it means.

If there is enough to exchange for the price that is claimed, then a billionaire can't break the peg by exchanging out pounds and forcing their hand.

The gold standard collapse in the US happened when France thought they didn't really have enough gold to back their currency. They started exchanging dollars for gold and the US was forced to break the amount of gold they claimed dollars were worth.

What do you think is meant by destroyed here? How is a financial entity destroyed if they aren't insolvent?
> > Apart from the US, British spelling differences are mostly followed by other countries where English is the main language too.

> Probably because many of them were former English colonies.

The US was also a set of former English (well, British, most recently) colonies.
Without that monopoly, there wouldn’t be much of a market for inventions.
for a large number of reasons it's hella hard to make money in finance. you can make whatever the vanguard index fund makes "for free" in your pajamas, so in order to justify your existence as an org within a financial institution you're going to need to put together some returns that are, obviously, way higher than that. so out come things like leverage and derivatives (=> hyper-leverage).

and yeah, there are failures, and they lose their shirts, and the beat goes on. but you're probably not going to make very much money (=> last very long) if your rate of return is the same order of magnitude as the collateral you're taking out. it's just not worth it from the POV of the bank.
Using YAML for critical infrastructure specification is one of the stupidest things we’ve ever done as an industry.
Years ago I took a random day off.

I remembered after breakfast I had some old stock options that were never worth much and some stock I had been buying via an employee stock plan.

I knew the company stock was doing well so I log in and find that day the stock had jumped a fair amount.

It occurred to me that "I'm never going to see a return like this any other time and I almost forgot this was even here"... so I sold it all.

The stock sold at a penny or two less than the all-time high that it would ever reach.

That was a few months before everything hit the fan with the mortgage crisis.

I like to tell that story about how calling a high or bottom in the market is pretty hard and the only time I ever did it it was because I took the day off on the right day.

> Since part of the point of glyphosate is to reduce application of stronger herbicides that are more biologically active in humans, and those herbicides are generally neither known by name to consumers nor banned from agriculture, it's worth splitting hairs here.

I am operating completely from memory here so correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't this at least partially counteracted by having to use significantly more herbicide to account for its lower efficacy?

Xerox ended Fujifilm joint venture today and is already trying a new multibillion-dollar business. I had no idea they still had some relevant product in the global market. But it is very likely that these advances are more about a financial game of activist investors than a long-term plan.

Always amazes me how we're able to create things this small/thin.

That's a very respectable number, I'm curious how they simulated waste water and what the differences would be with real waste water.

Okay, hypothetically speaking, how’d you feel if the Chinese/US/insert-random-body here suddenly decided that mentioning EU text was against their own laws and would therefore be fined/punished/whatever?

For Americans, First Amendment protects telling lies (as long as there is no other crime such as fraud), so penalties for lying on the internet likely wouldn't stand up in court.
For individual issues it’s not one or the other, but collectively it becomes that way due to finite resources. In a finite economy wasteful spending ends up costing lives in the short and long term.

Subsidies rarely help people in the long term because the markets adapt. Increase corn production and prices drop to match, but now you need to dump all that food on the market. Worse this is directly resulting in increased obesity and related health issues.

"Engage", said Captain Picard from the bridge of the Enterprise. "But sir", Commander Data began, "this must have been part of something called the Borg."

"You know I didn't tell them that," said Picard, "I have a very hard time talking to them."

"The Borg don't know that they're being infected with something dangerous. And they're not too fond of it. There's a saying: 'Borgs eat Borges. Borges eat Borges.' They'll get tired of eating their own."

They all had an established director, producers, and/or actors. It’s a safe risk because studios (from this list fox (rip)) can either bank on the casting list/director history (baby driver, the Martian, arrival) or have it as their one “cinema” film for awards season. Theres a lot missing for 10 years of film that just didn’t take off.
Just like various chat bot incarnations, it's reasonably OK at generating generic sentences without real understanding. I tried several attempts with this leading fragment: "Is borrow checking unique to Rust? Probably not. But". The results are not pretty (the best one is as follows). Not impressed at all with this giant model :|

"Is borrow checking unique to Rust? Probably not. But the Rust library is written by and for Rust programmers, so if you're looking for a library that's designed for the language you already know, this might be your first choice.

Maybe someone should create a bit of a tech-oriented template for helping it happen - core element checklist and then ways to invite/entice the rest. Start with decent internet, get some keystone employers, operate out of a co-working space that also brings a cafe/bar to the area. Let the residents of a community vote for what they'd like to see added to the mix of businesses.

Then let entrepreneurs scour town lists for the need that interests them. "I want to paint houses. These two towns in my state need a painter." Or "I moved to this town with my partner; the community is begging for a small garden store - I can do that."

Not seeing a reason in this response for basic_${foo}, implying the existence of a ${not_so_basic}_string as was the original question. Sure typedef a template instantiation to get around language syntax awkwardness, that's fine. Why basic_string? why basic_fixed_string? Or is this just a curveball and it would have been better as

typedef _string<char> string etc

Or maybe not, I don't know what they had in mind, which is why I'm asking...

One half of your point is that the US government is too incompetent/malicious to actually care for or remunerate its own residents, even as the richest country in the world. I can’t wave that problem away, and it contributes to my point about the dire state of American infrastructure.

But separately, as much as I respect the right for someone to their property, I think we as a society in the USA overindex on that personal right vs the public benefit and the health of the community as a whole, hobbling forward progress.

Just like the other commenter talked about Europe, I’m living in Japan currently - a far older country with far more people per sq foot who had to be relocated for the very thorough transit system here to be developed, with far less resources than the USA had when it was being built out.

The result is not that you end up with housing shortages, the effect is instead that transit dramatically increases the amount of viable land to live on within a reasonable commute to the city, creating cheap housing surpluses - provided that incentives are set up properly to encourage that housing production, as opposed to the USA’s hopelessly restrictive permitting/zoning + the incompetence of government to efficiently utilize land at transit stations + the unwillingness of the govt and electorate to allow private enterprise to do it instead (as it extremely profitably is done here in Japan).

That’s why I can get my current 1 bedroom apartment 15 minutes from the center of Tokyo for $600/mo here, a literal impossibility in even 2nd or 3rd tier American cities like the one I grew up in. And no, I’m not living in a shoebox or a soulless high rise, I live in a vibrant walkable neighborhood of low rises - since the combination of transit development, small (re: proper scale) streets and unrestrictive zoning means that a high quality of life is accessible to far more people.

Not to mention that if American cities were willing to deprioritize cars a bit you can probably get a pretty good system going almost entirely built on streets that are way wider than they need to be/evicting cars from those thoroughfares... glad to see baby steps in NYC and SF to do it a little, but at this rate it’ll be centuries before anything significant happens.

If Infura was compromised tomorrow, it could cause a bunch of damage to Ethereum ecosystem, it wouldn't even remotely be structural. You act like Infura owns 50% of the mining power. It's just one aspect of Ethereum layers which is dominated by Infura.

But if you keep creating these arbitrarily created measures, you can just as easily say "Bitcoin is centralized because bitcoin domain names and subreddits are owned by a single entity" (and this single entity managed to dominate the block size debate).

If Chinese firewall goes up tomorrow, bitcoin would suffer a big damage. If Congress passes FATCA/FBAR reporting regulations for crypto, sanctions on China, bitcoin would suffer a big damage. But the idea is that none of these things would kill Bitcoin, and that's the main thing.

You're calling Ethereum a 'centralized blockchain' because you're trying to cognitively justify against the vastly superior feature set of a competing blockchain.

Ethereum fanboys do the same when they've to argue against scalability of TRON/EOS etc or other chains.
Well then, the problem is baked right into the first amendment. (But aren't most lies a kind of fraud?)
While autonomous cars might be able to reduce traffic, they cannot eliminate it entirely. There is a limit on the number of cars which can drive down a road in a certain amount of time. If more cars wish to use the road than capacity allows, then there will be traffic.

That can only be solved by increasing capacity, either with more lanes or more roads in the same direction, but this is typically not feasible.

FCC approves T-Mobile and Sprint merger
From the snippets in the release notes:

```

function dispatch(x: string | number): SomeType {

if (typeof x === "string") {

return doThingWithString(x);

}

else if (typeof x === "number") {

return doThingWithNumber(x);

}

process.exit(1);

}

```

It's very embarrassing in my opinion that they haven't done anything yet against having these horrible kind of type checking; comparing against a string that has the type name? "string", "number"? it's completely ludicrous.

I will not take this language seriously until this is fixed. (For sure it's still better than JavaScript, but that's about it.)

I guess they the proponents kinda mean that (agricultural) chemicals be near their natural concentrations in arable lands. So there are going to be chemicals naturally, and harmful ones, but in normal non/not very harmful to humans concentrations. And of course earth is made of chemicals and “organic” chemicals (gotta use quotes so as to not confuse with organic chemistry) are also harmful (if they were not, they’d be of little use against pests).
