Well, taste is subjective - nutritional value less so.
Apple does know better than the vast majority of its users. It's why I buy, and properly configure, iPhones for my senior citizen parents.
At least you had the right to resell CDs. Something lost even in DRM free online services. Cannot even give (transfer) a copy of the digital thing they bought to someone on the same service (ie they have it on their account, you now don't). The change to digital distribution has destroyed customer rights.
In the US, companies optimize for what they can industrialize and ship out to an entire country regardless of locality. And customers want is changing pretty quickly. But for me, the “standard” grocery store produce aisle hasn’t changed much at all in the last few decades - mostly just organics that again are optimized for national supply chains and away from taste.
What do you mean, "citation please"? Things are permitted unless forbidden by law, so it's up to you to quote a EU-binding law that forbids Tor. I can't prove a negative.
Almost tasteless cucumber is great!

Especially for kids. In summer, my kids ask for a cold cucumber instead of a can of soda. I guess if the cucumber was too tasty they wouldn't really like it as much. It's "chewy water", just like watermelon but without the sweet.
6 feet. 6 feet is approx 2 meters, which is about the distance you need to keep for COVID-19. That alone is a valid reason to keep your distance; we don't want those who are counting votes to become ill (or worse), thereby slowing down the progress.

I'm a regular counter in Dutch elections, and observers should not interfere with counters (such as photographs, talking, noise, etc). It gives them unnecessary stress which reduces their output. Leave these people alone, let them do their job.
For those from not-CA, from the California State University website talking about the requirement:

“The one-course requirement will be implemented in the 2023-24 school year to allow time for faculty on 23 campuses to develop plans and coursework that best meet the unique needs of their students and communities. Grounded in the traditional Ethnic Studies discipline, comprised of African American, Asian American, Latinx and Native American studies, the requirement can be fulfilled through a broad spectrum of course offerings that address historical, current and emerging ethnic studies and social justice issues. The requirement advances a unique focus on the intersection and comparative study of race, ethnicity, class, gender, sexuality, religion, immigration status, ability and/or age. CSU courses on Africana literature, Native Californian perspectives, police reform, disparities in public health and the economics of racism, to name just a few, would meet the new requirement.”

I've been playing a board game daily for the last two weeks. As part of this game, a player has to draw one out of six unique cards. In the last five games, I've repeatedly drawn the same card. This is a real example.

There seems to be some common ground (even if soil is in dispute!) on high yield dilution though. The abstract states:

Contemporaneous analyses of modern versus old crop varieties grown side-by-side, and archived samples, show lower mineral concentrations in varieties bred for higher yields where increased carbohydrate is not accompanied by proportional increases in minerals – a “dilution effect”.
If you augment your skybox with distance information, you can fake some of the parallax locally. Might be convincing enough for the split second needed?

That's kinda true. Alternative, if you personal life style allows for it, you may start growing your own tomatoes -- you might not get them all year around that way, but the taste difference is so worth it.

And in the end, you gotta eat something. I suppose instead of not eating anything healthy at all, the more prominent strategy seems to have been to accompany healthy produce with super-unhealthy condiments (basically, loads of sugar, salt, and fat) to make it tasty again. That's probably the more worrying consequence, though.
as DJT demonstrated so gracefully with the whole russia there is a gulf of difference between proof and conviction ... Also can we all just level with the fact that both dems and repubs are sore losers .
Mathematically, the extension to 3D is trivial. Computationally, the difference is enormous. You're moving from O(n²) cells required to fill a space to O(n³).

Rendering also becomes significantly more complex, as you wouldn't be able to see anything interesting if it remained fully opaque.
I'm amused how people considering raising or lowering the seat a lot of work. I don't understand why it is an issue. You should anyway close the lid when flushing to prevent toilet water and fecal matter from spraying around.

These are war numbers to me, as Italian

Rome is the same size of Chicago and had 11 homicide in a year

Italy has 60 million citizens and there were "only" 276 homicides in a year, Los Angeles is a 5 million people city

If I had written "Marak doesn't want to prevent big companies from using their code [...]", the gender-neutral "their" could have refered to the companies' code, giving the sentence a different, incorrect meaning. I would have had to completely restructure the sentence just to avoid the sin of accidentally misgendering someone; instead, I placed a "(?)" after the pronoun, to be on the safe side.
Could you elaborate on that? I couldn't find anything from a few Google searches.
Do pesticides and herbicides reduce soil quality? The article says avoiding them is beneficial but it's not clear why that is.

So not that depleted soils don’t deplete vegetables, but the soils they found were not depleted. I wonder if they were focused on the same soils
True, but that's orthogonal. You could still set up double-blind studies comparing taste, I think.
The left have been opposing voting requiring identification (on the grounds that it discriminates against those without it) for years. Even if they brought in national identification, they wouldn’t make it necessary for voting.
Brilliant. The rubber sheet model of warped space has always bothered me.
I originally wrote that bit of code for a code screenshot, and actually thought it would work since I heard Python had added support for Unicode variable names. Shortly afterwards I realized it was invalid, but people seemed to like it so I kept it around. I probably should change it so people have something to copy/paste though...

It is very easy but more costly than a recount to verify the integrity of an election.

Auditing relies on the assumption that real voters can be linked to attestations and the aggregate of attestations can be linked to the aggregate of votes.

In Australia when you vote in person your named is checked off on the electoral roll. This is an attestations. When you submit an absentee ballot you also fill out a form. This is an attestation as well.

The audit does a full recount of attestations and votes and verifies the totals are the same. Duplicate checking is also performed on attestations.

Furthermore, the attestations are randomly sampled and the real voters are interviewed to check if they actually voted. In the case of absentee ballots the details on the form can be checked as well. The random sample is performed so you have an ‘acceptable’ level of fraud and then you sample enough ballots such that if you were higher than the acceptable level it would be likely to sample a fraudulent ballot.

This process breaks down a bit at this point because of the issue of false positives where the voter cannot be contacted. However, with more work from the auditor it is often possible to distinguish between the voter being uncontactable and voting and the voter not existing, or being uncontactable and not voting.

Because the audit process establishes a trail from real voters to real ballots it is very difficult to commit electoral fraud.

There are some forms of electoral fraud this audit will not detect like bribery and coercion. It also doesn’t prevent substitution attacks where someone destroys real ballots and replaces them with dodgy ones.
Here's how fucked up we are by COVID: all I could think of when watching demo video is "why are they hugging", and "why aren't they wearing masks". This will take time to undo.
You seem to miss the point - they do not have the same date of birth. You're oversimplifying the situation and potential of fraud to satisfy your Democratic bias.
In a way, I would say I do - but not to a point where I buy completely untasty stuff just for the nutritional value. But I love it when I see, say, a beautiful cauliflower that looks fresh and tasty not only because I'm looking forward to the pleasure of tasting it but also because somewhere in the back of my head something tells me "that's good stuff".

However, of course I'm just assuming that something is actually nutritious. You're right that I don't actually know that, and that kinda is the point of the article, right? We have all been taught that veggies are good for you, bla bla bla, but in the light of the article you can now at least wonder to what degree that is still as true as it was some years ago.
If a publisher is found to have published a book without license, would it be reasonable to find all who bought the book, break into their homes, take the book, and leave in its place the purchase price in cash?

If not, then why is doing the same, but on a computer, remotely reasonable?
That is higher bandwidth, but for normal chat apps I would expect randomly applied compression in transit breaking things. Email could work though? And if you’re generating the JPEG or PNG yourself, you can put the cypher text in at whatever level you like, including highest entropy bits of the compressed data.

You’d have to be very careful to seem “normal”, as carelessly doing that can change the entropy in a detectable way even for the least significant bits — the least significant bits saved in something like JPEG is not the sensor noise, it’s the smallest stuff that humans pay attention to.
I think there's also a genetic component. I planted Roma seeds from a store bought tomato, grew the plant, and they still didn't have much flavour compared to any other garden tomato I've tried.
Seriously? I am blind, and I find this article pretty pathetic.
If you dont attempt to interact with your environment, this is no challenge. I know people who have done a similar thing for 24 hours, however, they went to the uni cafeteria and even tried to prepare food at home. And guess what, they didn't write a "rich kid is having fun" article about it.

This is a clear case of aiming far too low. Next time, try for real.
I am not really happy that a string of words which have an understandable meaning ('open' and 'source' leading to 'open source') has been hijacked by some foundation. I mean how would you phrase it if your customer wants to source to be open, but without the freedom of redistribution (because he doesnt want to pay for it).
passmark shows about a 25% perf increase between R5 3600 and 5600x... the R5 3600 was available at launch at USD200 and in dropped to as low as 160
https://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu.php?cpu=AMD+Ryzen+5+3600&id...

25% perf increase is no doubt absolutely great but doesn't justify the price premium of 300USD... esp for a mass market, workhorse CPU

I upgraded to a 3600 after 10 years. Zen3 is the last gen CPU that'll work on my B450. I'll easily wait for a couple of years for the zen3 :)
According to that document, they only take action after four weeks of no response from the original owner.

I think the term "free software" is a marketing failure because you'd always have to add "as in free speech, not free beer".

Emotional distress seems pretty normal after your house burns down and there's plenty of people in our community with hobbies that would be considered odd. Naming suspects in these cases seems so weird from a non-US perspective, there's not even been a court case.
As somebody who has switched to Linux-only (desktop+servers) years ago, seeing how ransomeware gets "ported" to Linux makes me overthinking my backup system.

Has anybody experience with immutable backups? This is so important, because many ransomeware codes attacks backups first.

I think offline backups on write-once media are the safest. A DVD-RW is the only thing I can think of, but this is quite elaborate and doesn't seem contemprary in 2020. Do I miss something?
I really missed your point a bit.

But i watched a documentary about the US, where Children's under 12 are not allow to play outside without supervision, they get picket up by the police and the parents got big problems.

Here, they run around the hole day in the forests with Swiss or Scout-knifes and lighters and some sausages in the backpack. It's just terrible to think that your children's are safe because they sit hole day in their rooms and play games.
Can confirm. Does this also apply to canned Tomatos or are those allowed to ripe on soil, because damage didn’t matter? I think they taste better and I’ve Heard- than many top chefs prefer them over “fresh” tomatoes for cooking.

You can't have your cake and eat it too. If you want usage, you can make it MIT and then suffer while they capitalize your code (as they are with in their rights to do), or if you want protection but low usage, make it AGPL or proprietary even. I don't really see a scenario where you have high usage, high protection and also high profit from you selling your product, unless you are good at marketing and selling your product.
Let's take that and ask: this status that having a beemer gives you, do other people care? Or is it status in the owner's eyes?

From another direction, how would an average citizen C of your country size up another person D who's bought BMW? Would C actually think significantly better of D?

I went to a school where there was a large mix of wealth, some kids were extremely well off, multi-millionaire parents, and bought new (expensive and high quality) clothes. Quite a few others bought from charity shops (often of necessity like me). Not once in the years I was there did I ever hear any reference to clothes, or any measure of a person related to their clothing. It was all down to the person you were and I don't imagine our school was any special in that.

Is status in the eyes of self, or others?

I checked the 2 salaries posted in my city [0] [1] and they seem a lot higher than the local market.

Hell they might even spend time and money trying to salvage reputation even if they got gains hurting it in the same way that microsoft tries to paint itself as an ally of open source.
Well it kills some living organism. These don't develop. It has a result on environnement including soil. Now it's it measurable everywhere? No.

There are a couple research papers and video documentaries that compare on the same area, sometime same hill, the difference in soil: one was marking as the only difference was treatment or zero treatment. Difference was around 5 inches / 15 cm higher soil in non treated parcel...

Now this is exactly the kind of question where everyone is going to find examples that suit their personal view, even with studies backing their point. It so much depends on region and soil, treatment, measurability of molecule effects etc...
Yes I see now, it does seem to not sit well in many cases. Thanks for clarifying :)

I don't believe table salt added to cucumber, tomato, or anything else is bad for most people. Likewise certain fats in reasonable quantities is probably quite good for you. It's also delicious. I would say that dousing anything in syrup, ketchup, or any standard salad dressing with sugar is a bad idea. Even honey is questionable.

Soil is alive, and plants have various direct and indirect symbiotic relationships with things in the soil.

Application and especially misapplication of various treatments (add fertilizer and fungicides to your list) can easily do significant harm to the soil ecology, which in turn causes get need for more or more intense treatments.

The easy answer is “never” the better answer is “smarter”.
Wow this is something else. I thought we had it bad in Scotland, but this sounds worse.

In Scotland there are quite a few places where the council use a different tenement flat numbering scheme from the post office. Edinburgh council for example https://www.edinburgh.gov.uk/downloads/file/24357/statutory-....

> It is recognised that Edinburgh has a unique character which also translates into the flat numbering systems used.

> The rotation of the internal numbers follows the rotation of the staircase, with the highest number being located at
> the door furthest from the last riser on the stair.

But the post office (by default) uses a simple numbering scheme, which is the de facto standard even though the "legal" address is the one set by the council. Absolute nightmare.
I recommend the book "Deep Work" by Cal Newport. It makes a very compelling case about why the ability to concentrate during long periods of time is critical to create meaningful work, and it gives more detailed (and better) advice than this post
The source code has to be provided. From this, one can easily generate a diff. The only thing that such a clause will do is having to inform the original maintainer of this.

But I don't think that such a clause is a good idea: very often these internal modifications are not of the required quality. Also, I can easily imagine that some projects might drown in low-quality upstream pushes.
Well, colour me shocked!!
