Yes, but does the reduction of the other cost win against the increase of cost of illumination? Do you have a table with an estimation of the cost in each scenario?

Some back of the envelope calculations: From [1] the cost of fertilizer is like $150/acre and from [2] you can get about 7 tons/acre, so it's like $40/ton. The numbers change a lot from source to source, so let's multiply that by 2, and we get $40 of fertilizer per ton.

So in the impossible best scenario where the indoor production saves you the 100% of the fertilizer, you save $40 per ton of fertilizer that is much less that the $3000 per ton of electricity for illumination.

In the current situation where it may take 10+ days to get a lab test (for non-governors), it is an issue. For a warehouse worker making minimum wage, 10 days of missed work could lead to financial ruin. If we get to a point where most screening is done via abundant cheap antigen tests and RT-PCR capacity is available for confirmation then this would be less of an issue.

My understanding was actually that antigen tests are far less sensitive relative to RT-PCR but have high specificity. If that's correct, then DeWine's false negative would be a relatively rare event. By the way this is an excellent podcast episode covering the topic: https://www.microbe.tv/twiv/twiv-640/
So it is a requirement that when you have a trademark, you must defend that mark. Oftentimes they contract a law firm specifically to monitor the trademark. If anything even hints at their mark, they file opposition. Filing opposition is cheap and easy.

How far they go from there depends on how strong their mark is and how strong they feel they have a case to successfully oppose you.

It costs very little to initiate an opposition just a little bit of time and $500. Many trademark filers drop the trademark at this first stage.

I don’t work on Rome and haven’t looked at their code much, but if I were to guess: performance and better error messages

If you can do the same work in fewer passes, it will often be faster

So instead of every file change, webpack runs its own parser, then Babel runs its own parser, then ESLint, etc — Rome probably just runs the parser once and sends the AST to other plugins

And then if you invest in making the parsing stuff really good, that makes the linter better, the Babel-equivalent better, etc
So which no-code method did you use?
ULA just launched the new Mars rover for NASA. I don't think SpaceX even has a vehicle capable of that... yet anyways.

Their website states and shows that face masks are items you can sanitize. They also have a testimonial from a health care worker that uses it for masks.

Yep! Lawyers basically just look for legal entities with money, and exploit the justice system to take as much of it as they can without bankrupting the source. Constant flow.

They’re like a tax paid by every person or company with a significant sum of money in America. Doesn’t matter if they’re right or wrong, grounds or no grounds, there will still be a team of lawyers on your side taking your money to “defend” you.

Does your lawyer’s $20,000 motion really have any chance of succeeding? Did he really have to pay that company $12,000 to convert all your files to TIFFs? Did he really spend 16 hours on that letter, or does he have 95% of it saved in a template somewhere?

At first you’re happy to have lawyers on your side. But eventually you realize even the ones defending you are in on the same game, and are just there to rob you.

Don’t ever tell anyone you have money or that your company is successful.

That depends on whether you're controlled by the Chinese state. If you are, someone might well say this. The root question is whether TT/BD is/are controlled by the state. Given the size of the company and the CCP drive to control "large" (a flexible concept - which intensified after Xi Jinping came to power - it is not unreasonable to assume the state has significant influence.

I have fried st hat have worked shift patterns (some 24/7, some more like 4x10 hours “unsociable”) for decades and are fine with it. I have one colleague who works 4-12 5 days a week for the last 6 years and wouldn’t change it for the world. Another does 11-23 or 11-19 3 or 4 days a week. Personally I get more done between 18 and 21 than most of the day, hence I work 10-15 then 18-21.

HN does seem to bias towards morning based extrovert urbanites in its group think. It’s nowhere near as universal as you might think.
The Ars article includes the CVEs.
It doesn’t, even the heavy isn’t enough.
the prevailing consensus esp in the JS world is that 1 tool should do 1 thing. This is fine under the Unix philosophy, but challenges arise due to the combinatorial explosion of config needs, bad errors, and overhead from crossing module boundaries. There are a number of attempts at challenging this status quo:

- ESbuild (100x faster than webpack in part due to focus on doing a single parse (but also shipping a Go binary))

- Deno

- Rome

As we consolidate on the jobs to be done we expect out of modern tooling, it makes sense to do all these in a single pass with coherent tooling. It will not make sense for a large swathe of legacy setups, but once these tools are battle tested, they would be my clear choice for greenfield projects.

I am interested to hear more about Ruined by Design. I read the sample chapter on Uber on the website [0] after reading your comment. The author seems very biased against any sort of good that might come out of Uber. Is the entire narrative anti-VC and anti-SV and deems the issue a systemic problem, or does the author provide counterpoints and examples where good decisions are made and can be made?

MTK is open by default (no bootloader lock, easy unbrickable recovery), or at least that's what it was a few years ago when I bought one. Great for the modding scene, but probably not liked by the authoritarian-paranoid.
I think Rust can give the best of both, but in general I totally agree with you. IMHO, most people look to NIFs when they probably want to use IPC. Run a separate process for the computationally intensive operations (e.g. ./must-go-faster) and then let the operating system manage it. It's more reliable, probably faster, and easier to maintain that way too!
Thanks! I think that answers my question. Since kernel threads will likely have 64KB stacks or even more, this is still a huge win, even for 32-bit code I guess.
The above is an article about a famous and influential scientist, Margaret Mead. The article discusses the ways in which her sexuality and her relation with one of her students shaped her work. It is not a very good article and is not very rich in content - but there is nothing controversial about it and its subject matter is certainly of interest to HN. Many people on HN are interested in how influential scientists, technologists, entrepreneurs, artists, etc, changed their respective fields with radical new ideas, as Margaret Mead did. Furthermore, the article has received only few votes and does not seem to be on the verge of starting any flame wars. There is no obvious reason such an article should be flagged.

Note also that my comment is not going against HN guidelines that discourage the discussion of downvotes on comments, not discussing the flagging of articles. Read the guidelines carefully if you are in doubt.
We already use half of all habitable land for agriculture.

"The expansion of agriculture has been one of humanity’s largest impacts on the environment. It has transformed habitats and is one of the greatest pressures for biodiversity: of the 28,000 species evaluated to be threatened with extinction on the IUCN Red List, agriculture is listed as a threat for 24,000 of them"

Do we really want to keep eating into what wilderness remains?

Just because we "have" it doesn't mean we should convert it.

We already produce enough food to feed the world and likely won't have trouble producing enough food to feed the coming extra billions, but if we can focus on increasing yeilds and moving away from raising animals for consumption we can also reduce our footprint on the world.
Very neat concept.

Are you against executive orders in general or just this one?

Because surely one of the most popular social media platforms in the world, operated by the enemy, with access to troves of personal user data that can be used for election interference, blackmail, propaganda, etc. is a national security threat.

And yes, other social media platforms, including Facebook, pose national security threats as well, but it’s up to the elected officials to decide how significant the threat is, and when/if it’s necessary to take action. With regard to TikTok and WeChat, I’d say it’s long overdue, and I personally hope the list will be expanded to include all software and hardware operated by Chinese companies.
Well, Woz wired it. There was no software, right?
Is it possible that the administration doesn’t actually want to ban Tik-Tok but simply remove them as a factor for the election?
I'm not an expert in the internals of these things, but presumably Prettier, Webpack, TypeScript, Babel, Istanbul, and ESLint each build their own separate, private ASTs from scratch. Maybe a project like this could pipeline a sequence of ASTs one to the next, and skip some of that overhead?

Ask HN: Why are Amigas so inaccessible as a retrocomputing platform?
Since lockdown I've been playing around with a bunch of platforms that were around when I was young, but never really played with, I've made my way through the VIC, C64, Spectrum, and ended up around the Amiga where I got pretty stumped.

It appears all the software and firmware is super proprietary still, that seems a little bizarre, and especially weird there are no clean room implementations of things.

I'm mostly baffled because the platform looks great, it's almost the ideal thing I'd like to play around with, and there's basically a huge barrier to entry :(

What happens to "6 7 8" in a mapping from (e.g.) a straight minor to a pentatonic scale?
It depends on what programming language you'd like to work in and what exactly processing means to you. Are you interested in audio analysis or writing programs that generate audio like a synthesizer for a DAW? For audio analysis I'd recommend essentia a C++ library with Python bindings. For writing plugins, I'd recommend you take a look at JUCE, which has a decent set of tutorials on their website. You'll notice that C++ is pretty standard in industry because speed and hardware access are important. If JUCE is the sort of thing you're looking for, I'd also recommend the Audio Developer Conference talks on Youtube.

1. Talk less, listen more.

2. In the listening, include listening to yourself. Do you repeat yourself (verbatim, or patterns) in ways that will quickly or eventually bore those you talk with?

3. Engage in low-stakes interactions. Join a softball team or running group or work at a dinner program, so that you are around other people but the focus is not about being around other people.

Anyway, that's how it looks to me.

> When I think about attitudes towards food, I find it weirder that when we eat pork but are happy to throw away all the offal, cheeks, neck, knuckle, ears, ribs

Recently on a different discussion board some guy mentioned that he wanted to thaw the fish and left it on a counter instead of in the fridge - after some time he noticed that apparently a fly left eggs on small part of it, after he saw that he threw it into trash.
There were various reposnses from "ewwww, you did it right!" to "it was perfectly fine to cook"
One of the responses which I remembered was: "you just wasted life and death of this fish"

These are very simple words and seemingly obvious but it caught me by surprise a bit and I noticed that not always I'm thinking about my food like this. In a world where food can be highly processed, where a fish, chicken, pig can no longer resemble living creature but just some meaty pieces it's easy (and comfortable!) to skip, ignore the part that it was living being.
I played a bit with this thought in my mind and went into procrastination area - is it "fair" to use life and death of multiple animals and plants to sustain, propel myself and then do nothing productive with this energy?
And then we end up with flat design and as it is the smallest amount of work, it's where the design gets stuck forever.

They don't run 100% on renewable electricity. They offset their non-renewable by buying RECs, which allows them to claim they are 100% renewable. RECs work by allowing you to use non-renewable energy (from the coal power plant that is local to your data center/business). Then, you buy an equivalent number of RECs from somewhere else (could be an entirely different state) and you are allowed to claim you run on 100% renewable energy.

See: https://www.google.com/about/datacenters/renewable/
"In 2019, for the third year in a row, Google purchased enough renewable energy to match 100 percent of our annual global electricity consumption". They are not running on renewable energy, they are simply buying RECs. Albeit, one can argue that is better than not buying RECs, but it is misleading to claim they are "running on 100% renewable energy"
The environments can be compartmentalised and sterilised between crops; if it's a sealed environment and the only inputs apart from the seeds are sterile (via UV treatment of water, for instance), there's far less risk of disease, and by carefully controlling the handling of the seeds (and ensuring that there's a reasonable degree of genetic diversity amongst them) that also reduces the risk of widespread crop failures. It's also far easier to monitor and continuously test crops in a controlled environment like that, and it wouldn't need to be just a few massive factories; there could be a large number of smaller ones that were geographically distributed.

F droid isn’t a business, it’s a non profit. The amazon app store is mostly for fire devices. On non-fire devices:

> The Amazon App Store is not limited to just Fire devices. While it takes a bit of work, the App Store can be installed on most Android devices and provide users with an alternative to the Google Play Store. However, the process requires you to enable the ability to install apps from unknown sources, which is highly discouraged by Google.

I’m sure the Samsung app store is a similar story on non-samsung devices.

Outside of games, there aren’t really any app stores on mac/pc, because you can install anything you want. It is the security model of phones that makes app stores a thing in the first place.

A proposal to allow multiple app stores seems like a proposal to make apple alter its security model. Alternate app stores on android involve circumventing android’s default security model.
