Speaking as someone who provides services to the industry, your statement just isn't correct; as I originally stated it's a popular myth that is very different from reality. There are large corporations involved, but they come in at the points where inputs are supplied to the farmer and production is purchased.

Production is still operated by family run farms. It's so capital inefficient that no corporation would dare bother.
The guy above you edited his comment.
That nutritional argument seems very speculative. I don't know of any 70-year-old food that could be tested side-by-side with 'modern' food. And 'nutritional content' is certainly up per dollar, per man-hour. And its more available with modern refrigeration and transportation.

It seems overwhelmingly true that for most people, their food has improved drastically over 70 years.
IT'S A SCAM!
If you're going to split hairs on ethics, the real question is how much pain/suffering is involved. From what I've read, most scientists agree the neurological wiring to feel pain is not in place until past the point when nearly all abortions occur. If this was also true for the developing male chicks, I would certainly prefer that outcome.
Bitcoin doesn't appreciate on news. It's not a company and it doesn't necessarily have a product that is being constantly worked on. There is the odd software upgrade every few years but the core function never changes.

The value to which people are bidding is primarily 2 things.

1. Tolerance to threats, social or technological. This reduces with time.

2. Its increase in demand (yes, a lot of speculation) relative to the constant reduction of supply. I.e. scarcity.
I will take pure speculation over a stock ticker influenced by a CEO tweeting random shit.

We were in Caracas; so we were advised not to go into the city. It became a 9 hour stint at Burger King pretty much, which is enough.

If you look at long airports visits from a "survival" aspect, it's probably quite nice. Or at least compared to being on the "Alone" show; but certainly not something I'd recommend :-)

I work in games where we write c++ in a multi-million LOC base. Every developer in my company has a minimum of 12 cores, and 96GB RAM. All of the offices are backed by build farms on top of this. There are entire industries that rely on very high end hardware. (Of course we also rely on lots of windows-only software too, but that's only an issue once the hardware is solved)
>People seem to object to the basic idea of OCSP, which I think means objecting to the basic idea of app signing.

> Nothing's ever enough for vegans.

That's a weird complaint on a site about eternal disruption, eternal improvement of things that are basically fine already.

I'm an omnivore, and I'm comfortable with it. But that doesn't keep me from recognizing the ethical issues with killing and controlling other beings to survive. I really appreciate people pushing the envelope on this. If I could eat basically the same diet but have it all be from a replicator, I'd do it in a heartbeat. So keep pushing, vegans!
I certainly agree that white evangelical christianity in its modern (post-1619) incarnation is so completely entangled with american slavery that they’re indistinguishable.

I don’t agree at all that that statement or population is somehow emblematic of “the real religion”, because the unspoken priors there are precisely the sort of white- and christian- centric circular definitions that, for example, white american evangelicals believe and promulgate. It’s giving up the game before you even get started.

Tangentially, the sanctification of Dr. King as an american saint is part of an extremely long tradition of blunting the impact of prophets. If you put someone up on a pedestal you add them to a history that is done and somehow over and safe now. We remember “i have a dream” and tacitly conclude that the dream is realized now; we forget that King died largely hated and in the process of screaming against the war and organizing for (mostly white) trash collectors. And we forget that the work never stops.

To conclude more hopefully, though, I’d also say that people do keep the flame alive — and, i suspect and pray, we’ll look back at this year as a time when the embers were fanned back up into a flame to get some more work done at a great cost.

Booted Arch Linux 2.6.31 from 2010 on my ThinkPad X31
On Sunday, I found my old ThinkPad X31 in the basement and successfully booted Arch Linux 2.6.31 from early 2010. Web browsing was not so much fun, mainly due to the fact that many websites are served via HTTPS only, and Firefox 3.5.6 doesn't support the cryptographic ciphers from 2020. – https://imgur.com/IPWS2Ox

Then I've successfully installed Debian 10 buster: https://imgur.com/a/QvTA87C (showing i3 occupying 113 MiB of RAM)
Corbyn is on the left of most Labour MPs for sure, but I don't know if it'd be fair to call him "far left" when there are groups to his left.

There is an actual far left in the UK though, primarily represented by the Communist Party of Britain. There are other smaller groups too, mostly linked to the wider trade union movement.
I’m guessing it’s Estonia. It’s really ahead with digital governance.

How should I know, I don't know which country you are living...

Though, usually it's not laws which are meant to be understood by the animals. Those laws are about how humans handle and integrate animals in their human society. They regulate who can own a pet, what rights and duties they have and which rights other people around those animals have (landlords for example, or research facilities doing animal experimentation).

But usually you will not find a law that demands your cat to go to school, or wear clothes, or paying taxes, that it's forbidden to enter private ground, to steal or kill, and such things. As also anything like having any citizen-rights and duties coming with them. Majority of laws are written for people who are able to understand them and can follow them, not for those who are living besides us.
I think it’s possible with some tricks.

The Mach angle is going to be extremely tight, so the profile of a normal spacecraft design would look like a flat plate at that speed. Normally, the craft is designed with a body shape roughly matching the Mach angle, but that would make it look like a long needle and you’d never be able to spin that up.

So instead, you can use a hypersonic projectile to open up the pressure envelope in front of the payload. This would be a big chunk of tungsten in a tear-drop shape. In this case, the shape is not for laminar aerodynamics; it’s for keeping mass in front for positive ballistic coefficient, and maintaining the same shape as it erodes. This is required because it has to stay ahead of the payload. Of course you can also make a train of these increasing in width and spaced to match the pressure cone.

The calculation for how much energy this takes is the sum of: 1. Mass to orbit. 2. The atmospheric pressure times the atmospheric height times the area of the Mach cone. 3. Heat losses. We can compute minimum values for the first two to get an idea of how much energy is required. I’m not sure about heat losses, but I think it’s roughly half the energy budget.

Overall I’d naively expect this to end up being more efficient than carrying fuel to orbit.
Thanks for your comment! BAS is for sure not the silver bullet. But what other means do large organisations have to validate their security controls? I think BAS is not better than a team of penetration testers, but it is better than penetration testing.
Here's some data:
https://www.desmoinesregister.com/story/money/agriculture/20...

Its pretty bleak. Farmers that don't farm. Family ownership has dropped drastically. Most farm owners are 65 or older, half of that women that outlived their families and don't work the land any more. Most land in production is rented. Families that keep the ol farmstead do it for sentimental reasons and hire it out to a corporation.
Feeding food insecure (and worse) people around the world is very, very rarely about food quantity and is almost always about the logistics of getting food from where it exists in excess to where it is lacking. Fuel and labor costs dominate the equation.

Exactly. Censorship is never airtight, there are always some gaps that independent thought can slip through.
I, for one, was very interested in seeing the end of the Tucker Carlson story, and was disappointed when he dropped his chance to reveal his supposedly damaging information about the Bidens.

Why do you think the story was dropped? Personally, I think it's likely that said information was not actually ever damning, but I guess the Deep State could have gotten to Tucker, if that's your conspiracy theory.
I get a 404 for that page.
Yeah; that's really where I tend to give up too. If we can't start with accepting the others' right to exist and be treated with respect, there's no room to find common ground and actually build anything.

It's why I find it so interesting (and concerning) how people respond to, say, college, or urban areas, coming from rural and more homogeneous ones. Some people find themselves realizing that those who are different than them...aren't so different, and learn to accept and respect others despite those differences. Others resist, seeking out others like themselves, building a bubble to operate in, avoiding the 'other', and become even less tolerant than they were before (while also demonizing the 'liberal brainwashing' happening in colleges and big cities and the like, that they saw happening around them).

This doesn't just describe a purge where maybe the leaders of the Communist party are imprisoned by a military dictatorship. This is mass murder of millions. It is never necessary. Do what the king of France did and just abdicate and leave if you have lost power rather than engage in mass murder. Sure if there is a militia planning to attempt to overthrow you then have them arrested but don't kill everyone with views to the left/right.
How is certificate checking a terrible idea?

WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN ALL MY LIFE
The same logic applies to dozens of other cryptocurrencies, and new ones are offered every day. Any one cryptocurrency has a fixed base, but the set of currencies together expands every single day, brrrrrrrr.

To justify Bitcoin specifically you'd need to explain why it in particular should be the one-and-only (or at least, one of a fixed and finite set). A government could do it by fiat, and it wouldn't surprise me to see a government bless some cryptocurrency as its default transaction mechanism. A stablecoin could do it by piggybacking off a government fiat.

It's not impossible that the population as a whole could simply land on Bitcoin, much the way a government exists by the collective consensus of the people living there. But I don't see that as being very likely, since there are too many alternatives. It has the first-mover advantage and might just succeed, but I consider other cryptocurrencies more likely.
For short activities (less than a few minutes) I don't need the progress bar to be useful, I need it to be reassuring.

Any longer than that, reassurance comes from visual previews of what's happening, see vray preview windows for renders. Basically that feeling of shit getting done from watching laser and 3D printers do their thing.
I mean, if you're not running macos-specific stuff, then a top-end Zen3 box with a couple of 3090s in it is going to have more grunt than a 15k mac pro with a Xeon and a Vega II Duo.

I'm not sure what "it" is any more, but I think having modest amount of children is a good idea, and people from rich countries don't get to recuse themselves - we have such big carbon footprints. And appeals on behalf of unborn people sounds suspiciously like some of the dramatic appeals to emotion favoured by christian fundamentalists in the context of birth control.

"gross and immoral" is uncalled for, and a pretty toxic way to start a conversation.

And you keep saying users "expect documents" but where is that coming from? Most users on the internet today do not expect documents. I'd argue they don't really expect apps either, webpages live in kind of a world of their own.

The moral dilemma that vegans/vegetarians face is at what size we consider them sentient. Does the same apply to the micro-organism that vegans consume everyday on their salad? Or they are simply not sentient enough because we can't see them with naked eyes?
> law-as-code is a bad idea because its "dynamic"/"always changing"

I don't think it was meant in classical terms of an SQL UPDATE. It was meant in a way that a new rule may affect the application of an existing rule. Academically speaking, it makes reasoning non-monotonic. This is exactly why https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Defeasible_logic is proposed.

> The second argument is an outright straw man fallacy.

I think they are trying to codify the laws in logic _without_ changes to the law.

[Edit] The journalist also failed to read up on the basics of deontic logic and defeasible reasoning: "The law says cars must drive on the left in Australia. But what if they have to cross the road to avoid hitting a child?"

> Mind experiment: In the last paragraph of dang's top post replace "communism" witch "nazism" and "Engels" and "Marx" with "Hitler" and "Mussolini". How would you feel about it?

Similarly to how I react to replacing "communism" with "[economic] liberalism" and "Marx" with "Rand" and "Engels" with "the Chicago boys". Unsurprisingly, changing the words in a text changes its meaning.

> There are probably millions of people in the USA who barely escaped with their lives from vile communist regimes and yet the idea of communism is still entertained as some misunderstood noble thing. Until there will be "Nuremberg trials" equivalent for communism such ideas will unfortunately continue to propagate.

What do you think are the ideas of communism and of Marx and Engels in general?
Well any old working directory that exists at startup is removed. So an attacker would not be able to create the directory before the user runs the program. And they would have to be logged in as the user in order to edit the pngtopdf.py file as it is created with 0700. Also, I would rather specify the actual bytes directly and force a lazy programmer to look at the ASCII table over using []byte(" "). These are just some of my after-thoughts.
I think it's premature to describe it as the foreseeable future where we max out the capabilities of microcomputers, machinery and optimise the distribution of all the world's resources to ensure there is absolutely nothing that couldn't be improved by using different types or numbers of machines or better computer programs or passing control to a different owner or simply mopping up the compounding gains from having more machinery and algorithms in production.

Sure, in a world where we've perfected everything. GDP growth will cease to be a viable goal (and probably we'll all be too well fed and entertained to care). But until we reach the point of using all our resources optimally, it's reasonable to assume expansion and better allocation of production is a sensible goal, and to achieve it economists are arguing against more short-term, mutable obstacles like human rules.

It's a bit like the probable existence of hard physical limits to human lifespan doesn't invalidate the field of medicine. Or indeed, the probability that we're
not smarter than twenty years ago doesn't invalidate the field of computer science's attempts to find more efficient ways of handling data,

I am weirdly obsessed with this. I am burning to see the next iteration of Apple Silicon devices with an M1X or M2 chip and more ports and RAM for higher-spec devices and new MacBook designs even lighter and smaller than the current Air (bring back the 11"!).

I guess I'm just caught up in the hype and excited about movement in the chip design space after many years of Intel stagnation. Zen and the M1 are a breath of fresh air.

Waiting to replace a 2014 11" MacBook Air until the story about Parallels support is clear and maybe new MacBook designs are available.

I also have a 2013 Mac Pro trashcan-style on my desk at work. Until recently it was simultaneously available in the inventory system and marked as EOL. I'm not sure if the 2020 6-core Intel Mac Mini would actually be faster - maybe. I'm only a part-time iOS developer so I keep trucking along with the 2013 model.
Whether these actually enable growth is debatable

I couldn't find any LCD panel that wasn't tiny or outrageously expensive. I only spent maybe 30 minutes looking, so it sounds like I may have missed some good possibilities (like Sceptre).
It just needs (a) enough time since the last crash and (b) some kind of announcement to get the speculative ball rolling. In this case it was the PayPal announcements. And I think a third factor could be day traders getting bored with the dwindling growth of speculative stocks like TSLA, NIO, etc., and looking to speculate on greener pastures.

This has happened a few times before, actually. Dogfooding is good, but not for status pages!

Cloudflare does it right for their status page (https://www.cloudflarestatus.com). They don't use Cloudflare itself for it (you can tell because /cdn-cgi/trace returns nothing), the actual backend is Atlassian Statuspage, their TLS certificate is issued by Let's Encrypt instead of Cloudflare itself, and it's on a completely separate domain for DNS purposes.

Oh, god. Stuck is not even close to define the joy of OSX. I've been "stuck" with OSX for 10 years and every time I tried the waters of windows or ubuntu again I came home crying.

Windows and Ubuntu not even close? Yes.
Personal opinion? Yes.
Hardware was crap for last 2 years and make me consider moving back to windows? F* yes!

But now with those M1 chips I'm already saving money for an Air (very very expensive in Brazil).
