> There’s a cognitive bias where if you tell a certain kind of person a negative story about an environmental issue they will believe it, regardless of its content.

Having been an environmentalist and activist this is contrary to about 18 years of personal experience. If anything it seems to be a mental manipulation that rationalizes such a claim as it somehow seems to not affect them personally 'right now' that it must not be so bad.

> If you read the article, none of the quoted sources say anything about depleted soil. It says it in the title, that’s it. Bait.

I read it, and this was actually about par-for-the-course type of 'journalism' of what was being written at the time--I spent much of my time trying to understand the correlations between diet and maladies like cancer, diabetes, and heart disease and found very little that went in depth as their simply wasn't much published research on the topic.

It was also written several months before I personally would dive head-long (I did a horticulture apprenticeship in Europe, and went back to the Culinary industry focused on Farm to table concepts) into the DEEP implications of how a broken food supply has damaged Society after having spent time in diagnostics and completed an undergad in biology.

> It doesn’t seem to have much at all to do with the soil quality going down over decades and more to do with industrial food distribution.

Actually it does, albeit very superficially, and its advocating for organic practices as a way to overcome that.

Selective breeding and hybridization is nothing new in Agriculture, what is new is this broken International food supply that can only exist because its highly subsidized which in turn suffocates the smaller more resilient system.
It was the former's catastrophic failure under the logistical stress of COVID that many people suddenly saw the value of such a model in masse as CSA memberships sold out in record numbers all over the US, as did meat-shares. All while major Ag corps and Food Corps had to let fields rot and had their animals culled.

I only wrote this because in my my other tab I was reading this article [0] about the decrease in the average height of school children Worldwide due to poor nutrition in school meals--a system where much of the government subsidized, poor nutrient food ends up, at a large markup no less. As the increase in obesity along side it, which is in part a byproduct of processed and nutrient deficient food that messes up with the body's innate satiation feedback system.

The study also coincidences with the take-over of many small farms by large Agra/Pharma corps (1980s) and the wide usage of things like glyphosate resistant plants as staples in processed food. I highly recommend the book 'Harvest of Rage' as it explores much of what had become of Rural America since that take-over and the political climate that has come from it--crystallized by how demagogues like Trump come into office and have the ability to radicalize such a significant amount of people in the process.

It's not what OP meant at all. He's asking for a license that lets regular devs use your project freely, but require fortune 500 like companies to pay.
Trump's character flaws are clearly existential and deeply problematic, I think to any mature observer.

Not only is he a brutal narcissist who cares only about himself, he's willing to throw a democracy away for his vanity and power.

My articulation is more about 'mass perception' not so much what he actually is.

Clearly Bill Clinton is a good man, so are McCain, Romney, Obama, even Bush etc..

'Understanding Trump Support' is hard because what 'smart people see' is something completely different than what the plebes see. They think he's a genius, brilliant businessman, and probably don't realize how powerful his negative language about migrants etc. really is, they just don't understand what statesmanship actually is or how important that it is that he is a role model as well. I guess it's one of the more obvious problems of raw populism.
> It's all too easy these days to have a clear intention only to be sidetracked by the whirlpool of apps and services clawing for our attention on our devices.

I have to admit I'm a bit baffled by these remarks. It is very easy to have a "apps and services"-free experience: just kill notifications. Why would the paper make a difference? It's not like your "attention-clawing" misconfigured device is not still at your reach.

That said, I am a big fan of "digital writing" ever since tablet PCs were a thing, and I have yet to find anything that even approaches the convenience of pen and paper. In fact, my current preferred "digital writing" method is to use one of these digitizing pens, with my favourite tech being Anoto's/Livescribe (if only the company was not actively user-hostile).
Its not true though, as if it was then they wouldn't spend loads of money where they can still advertise.

But they do (and they sponsored F1 for a long time after most advertising was banned) so advertising must have some impact on their sales.
Here's my own research:

https://gitpay.me

Doesn't appear to be too popular: "We paid $2547 USD in bounties". And no wonder it's not popular: https://github.com/gitpay/website/pull/4

https://issuehunt.io

The docs are pretty thin, so it's not clear if it's possible for devs to attach a price to feature requests themselves.

It seems to be a side project of the people that make Boost Note. The top project has gotten $7,858.50, but it's actually their own project BoostIO/Boostnote. I get that "we made it for us, but you can use it too" vibe from their site, which may be why there doesn't seem to be much ongoing effort to promote the service.

It looks like there are red flags around Bountysource:

I did notice that on wikipedia but statement like "voluntary identity card schemes. These include ... Sweden" and it lost the sight of the forest for the trees.

If you can't go to the doctor, can't buy products in stores that have an 18+ requirement, can't vote, can't drive, can't travel, can't buy a train or buss ticket, can't get social security unless you fight with bureaucracy for several years and still likely loose, can't have an bank account, can't buy a card at a swim/gym, well, home much of a voluntary scheme is that? I guess there is voluntary, and then there is voluntary. In a similar way its voluntary to have an bank account but you can't pay rent, get social security money, get paid (by most companies), buy products in what seems to be the majority of stores, or travel by buss/train/plane unless you got a bank account. It is voluntary in terms that you will not end up in jail if you don't have it, but living without is made extremely difficult.

It is interesting that in UK, the requirement for ID card during elections depend on where you live. Northern Ireland must have it, while England, Wales or Scotland do not require it.

Going back to the Scandinavian countries, Norway which do not have an national identity cards do still require a photo ID when voting. Instead of a national id card they use their passport, driver license or banking ID, in which case one of those serve the purpose of authentication.

There is a global config and a user-specific one. So every user can install (without root) their set of packages and their PATH will be changed accordingly.

You probably tried to add firefox to your local one - which should be good enough. I wouldn’t really want a program to auto-update the global configurarion.nix
> Simply going for a 15-minute walk every day is a step in the right direction for beginners.

It is that, but that’s all. I’ve realised lately that it really isn’t enough.

Until earlier this year I was cycling about 15kms a day in the natural course of going to work, and climbing perhaps 30 flights of stairs a day in the natural course of living on the 3rd floor. Then I moved house, and I no longer do either.

I do, however, still walk a decent amount on the flat. My phone says I average about 7km/day (near enough 10,000 steps).

It’s not enough. It’s taken me a while to realise it, but I’m pretty sure that my current lower back issues are basically a result of stopping the cycling & stairs. I can’t prove it of course, but it makes a lot of sense. All of my glute/hamstring strength has just gone.

Starting tomorrow I’m forcing myself to ride about 15kms a day (~5 days/week), with some sort of an incline in there. I’m lucky that I enjoy this; I was luckier when it just happened as part of my day without me thinking about it. Making myself do it is going to be a lot harder. I need to figure out a way to “science the shit out of it” so I can at least gain motivation from the fact that it works (assuming that it does).
> Reason being is that they are picked when they are green

Is that really true any more? The supply chains are incredibly fast now and I can't imagine there's enough time for this process to take place - even tomatoes from southern Spain are probably on shelves in a few days. It's not like shipping bananas from the Caribbean. I think it's more that the watery tomatoes are the varieties that grow the fastest and offer the best margins at the lower pricepoints.

An increasing number of tomato imports are coming from the mega greenhouses where they are harvested red and can be packed on site. This one is Dutch [1], but I remember hearing that they're building some in the UK. Clearly they're never going to be the same as growing them in a garden in Sicily and leaving them to ripen for a few days in the sun, but not bad for mass production, available year round and much, much better than the tomatoes in the supermarkets a couple of decades ago.

> So, grow your own tomatoes - it's surpisingly easy - and the taste is amazing.

I've been trying for a few years. It's been fun and the varieties are way more interesting, but I'm not in danger of flooding the market.

Isn't the whole point of the "Small Claims" court, to be simple and not require a massive undertaking?

Also, the discrimination thing is a result that I've not (personally) heard anyone mention before.

Government is just another group of people. We currently have few statesmen in politics, only people afraid to loose control and this is a symptom that has haunted us for over 30 years. Any cooperation with the EU on these issue should be denied. Many people are way ahead of constitutions and democratic legitimacy.

UV radiation from the sun also effects the taste; It brings out the 'nightshade' flavor.
I'd go as far as saying that the term "free software" is a complete an utter fail. In my mind "free speech" is speech that is entirely unrestricted. Almost all FOSS licenses come with "restrictions", such as you must leave the copyright notice in place, you must add the "PROVIDED AS IS" spiel somewhere the end user can read it, you must release your derivative work's source code under the same license etc., so it is by definition no longer "free".

WTFPL is probably the only real "free" license.
>Ask yourself: do you have a choice? Are you really able to buy all products for any meal - really, any meal - that they were not treated with pesticides?

Yes, absolutely.

It would really depend on what you consider "a pesticide" and if organic alternatives counted and if at that which ones, regardless it is still quite possible, you just have to understand where your food comes from.

> Another interesting question: is it possible to buy anywhere (even on the Internet) non-GMO corn?

Say you're a farmer in the midwest, here's a place to buy non-GMO seed corn to grow on your farm:

https://www.alseed.com/product-category/corn/viking-conventi...

Non-GMO corn is common, the supply chain is very aware if the product is GMO or not.

>You know, the original one, created by nature which were possible to have 200 years ago?

No such thing. Corn/maize has been manipulated by humans for millennia, the wild relative is essentially not recognizable as anything other than an ordinary wild grass species.

VAT is a regressive tax - because poor people have to spend almost all of their earnings to survive - they pay VAT for almost all of their earnings.

On the other hand rich people spend less than 1% of their earnings - so they only pay VAT on that 1%.

So, effective taxation caused by VAT is VAT rate for poor people and less than 1% for rich people.
Couldn't agree more. I worked 2 years 100% pairing, it's just too much. I also have some mildly introspective personality and the extra overhead of communicating every single word typed not only interferes with my deep thinking, but would make me feel exhausted by 4pm, instead of my normal capacity to work long hours for quite a few days before starting to realise I needed to rest.

If you ever consider making a short demo video for this, I'd be eager to see this in action.
This is wrong. If someone works a day job, they won't have time to work on their OS projects. Corporation should pay contribution to the OS projects they use to make billions/year. We should have license that requires only high income companies to pay for usage.
I haven't watched a lot of things the past 10 years. A couple movies with friends, but I can count those on one hand. I don't really miss it. Some friends find t weird and try to push recommendations still, and I thank them and tell them I'll put it on the list. Then I promptly forget what they talked about, but they seem to have been satisfied with this. No harm done, right?

On the other hand, they seem to be all about audio books while I tell them they are not the same as sitting down with a real one. They tell me they don't have time for books, and listening to them while working our, jogging, cycling is how they 'read'. I don't think they are getting the same thing out of it that I do actually reading the physical book in a single tasking way, but then again, I shouldn't be bothered by other people's habits.
It's both. Again, from my own perspective - I know some friends groups where someone saying "dude, Mark has a beemer! And it's a 320d!!!" Means that Mark is now as popular as a highschool cheerleader girl. He will be invited to more parties, to different employment opportunities(even if those opportunities to me and you would be probably a bit "sketchy"), it just makes you popular, and popular people often(but not always) have it easier in life. Again in the same group of people, if Mark wants to do "business" of some kind, people will automatically respect him more and care about his opinion, because clearly, a man with a BMW, an iPhone(fake, but no one knows), golden chain and signet(also fake), must be at least moderately successful - how else would be come to own these things if he wasn't?

And no, I'm not being sarcastic, this is literally how people think.

And also, I think a form of this also exists in the West - I've heard many times that if you drive say, a Ferrari, people will approach you and literally ask "hey, you're successful - how can I get to where you are?". Sure some will be hateful, but some will be genuinely intrigued how you came into possession of this wealth and how can they replicate it.for themselves - they respect you despite knowing absolutely nothing about you, purely because you drive a fancy car. Again, not universal, but I know it happens. Same principle applies to that fake iPhone.
Apple doesn't love you back. Amazon doesn't love you back. Any company that seems oh-so-awesome, but makes their software proprietary, does not love you back.

You are never going to fix the problem of centralization of wealth if you keep thinking that is a matter of "unfairness". (Much like Socialism and central planning), as long as people give in their freedoms to big central entities for the immediate benefit they offer (shiny hardware, low TCO, whatever) economies of scale lock-in and then it becomes almost impossible to get these entities back under control.

As long as there are people that think that it is okay for us to spend our resources creating private software we will get companies exploiting trying to extract value from software developers, and especially so from those that work on FOSS
There must be a way to expand the GPL to allow for dual licensing contributed content.

You could also share revenues, to incentivize developers to join.

I'm not sure how that would be possible in an effective and transparent way though.
Sony Japan ‘has been sidelined’ from Playstation 5’s launch, a new report claims
>Take a book out of Eddie Hall's playbook who says the exact same thing... And he's literally the strongest man in the world.

Robert Oberst, another WSM competitor also says the same thing and talks about it on the Joe Rogan podcast (#1321 I believe). To quote:

"I went from football to strongman, and in football we never did deadlifts. It was all hang cleans and power cleans, which by the way, quick little tip: if you’re deadlifting to be a better deadlifter fine. If you’re not, (you’re) doing that for deadlift’s sake, don’t fucking do it. The risk to reward ratio is a joke."

"A lot of people are not going to like that I’m saying that. (…) If you go to any NFL gym, any college football gym, any athletics where people are actually getting paid and it matters what they’re doing, they’re not deadlifting. They’re hang cleaning and power cleaning."
My single access frontend is the transmission-qt client. I can recommend it wholeheartedly.
It really feels like Facebook is making a mistake here. Most people who are into VR are relatively tech savvy and probably not that keen on being forced to tether to Facebook as a company. I don't think you'll be alone in your decision to look at other VR solutions.

It's a shame because I wanted to get into VR at the beginning of lockdown and everything I've read about Oculus seemed positive except the facebook account.
Nice hack. Is there a ad-blocking youtube app i could use with this?
It would still be criminal on the grounds of breaking the bodily integrity, which is an infringement of someone else's life and health, which is normally considered more protected than privacy.
> by making async lifetimes correspond to ordinary C++ lexical scopes ...

That's the easy part and typically not entirely what you want. Suppose you have some fibers you launched via a parmap. Most of these will end more or less at the same time, but some will be laggards and these need to be tracked in some way. That tracking typically happens outside of your current lexical scope as they might not influence the success of the composed fiber.
Yeap. Commercial licences encourage fragmentation and often abandonment. If you're going to go open source, go GPL its the best way to ensure long-term success.
> 4. Dual license it as GPL and commercial and:

This works if your product can target big corporations. They are unlikely to intentionally misuse the license; and would pay licensing fees for something that can be freely available online. There are several companies doing this already.

You just need a few contracts to cover a software engineer salary. So unless you are after maximizing profits, you don't really care about the dudes who are using it commercially for free.
I had one. Currently it's not possible due to size constraints but, evolving something on a big canvas is completely different even when compared to pen and paper.

However, I put pen & paper above whiteboards so, I'm not missing it as I guessed at first.
Stop putting the seat up BEFORE you pee, just for a few days, and she'll stop complaining when you leave it up AFTER you pee.
In a way the dual licensing could do exactly that, it's just a manual process, and not "automated" by the license.
That's not running in the browser.
But in most cases injury has nothing to do with the movement. It’s load or workload.

I’ve been lifting for 2 years and have not experienced any long lasting pain and have not been injured. My progress is slow, 330/225/360 S/BP/DL at 220 BW (gained 30lbs) but I’m not in a hurry. I’ve been doing round back deadlifts for a while now (my spine has completely lost it’s natural lordosis due to a lifetime of sitting, my lower back has a slight rounding that I just can’t force into extension, my discs are completely fine and I have gained 2 inches to my height since I’ve started training) and have never experienced any back pain.

People start obsessing over their progress and start doing too much, either load or sets.

My well-being improved by a lot. Sitting for 8+ hours a day stopped being an issue and all the weird pains I had before disappeared.
Can anyone say what the meaning of the prefixes are:

This is a terrible terrible idea. To understand how large the 10 least populous states have a population put together of about 9 million people. The 10 most populous states have about 179 million.

What you are suggesting is that we weigh small state voter as equal to 20 large state voter. That isn't an "equal say" its tyranny. To put it in perspective you are suggesting that say Wyoming and Vermont whose population amounts to a million people out to be able to out vote Californias 40 million.

This is in fact such a terrible idea that were in implemented it would be in and of itself so terrible that it would sufficient reason for the dissolution of the entire union as rich populous states rebelled and left. You would do less damage to the union by picking a state with a map and a dart board and nuking it.
This 1000x.

I used to work at a company that pivoted into "growth hacking" and it seriously made me sick how at the end we had 1500 freelancers being paid peanuts to write about subjects they had minimum knowledge about, using other similarly shallow articles as their only reference.

Today I can't search anything on the internet without coming across those. It's always the same: a shitty Wordpress blog and a 1500-word article with 1% of the depth of a Wikipedia Article. And some people have the gall to distrust Wikipedia when believing those.

We have 50 websites for lyrics and guitar tabs but they are 10% content (and it's always copied from somewhere else, or each other) and 90% advertisement.

If you look for software you're are either gonna get legitimate companies (Download.com) trying to inject you with install-spyware, or piracy blogs trying to infect you with legitimate malware.
Apple already evades use of GPL3 software, so GPL currently does solve the problem. You can also dual license, like mysql, if you want to provide non-GPL use.
