Nope, farming using land has free energy (sun) and more room (with nothing else to use it for). As such, its scale and efficiency will always compete well with vertical farming which has considerable more overhead.

I was able to find the video which triggered the suspension. Google didn't help me find it, by the way. Strictly speaking, he doesn't call for violence but instead tells people to go home in peace.

What he does say is that the election was fraudulent. This seems to be the illegal utterance. And by "legal", I mean a rule laid down by the relevant authority.
I see a lot of speculation here about something like an unknown toxin being the cause. Is it possible that societal and cultural trends are driving this change? In other words, the emotional quality of modern day life. Perhaps another explanation is simply just evolution. After all, what does physical prowess really get you nowadays compared with even 20 or 30 years before?
They definitely have a cohesive identity and are even organized in defined specialized identities like militias and Proud Boys. These are domestic terrorists and they attempted to overturn the fair and free elections in this country based on outright lies with NO evidence to support them and also kidnap and murder civilians, law enforcement and anyone else who stood in their way.

I and others have been following their discussions online and its clear that while not every single individual at the domestic insurrection at the US Capitol on January 6th seeks to murder and cause mayhem, many in the hundreds and thousands do. Many beyond that seek to downplay the danger and provide apologia for the criminal actions of terrorists they at least partially sympathize with.
Have you read through the comment thread? Did you read the article? Most everyone is in agreement that projects require a lot of cleaning & wrangling and a lot more -- the point is that data scientists are generally not doing that stuff, they expect academic-quality, pre-processed, pristine data, so it's data engineers who are stuck preparing the data, and who are in high demand.

Everything the court has done since Marsh v Alabama has walked that decision back, and I think you'll have a hard time finding legal experts to back the interpretation that Twitter owns the obligations of a public square.

There's no "claim" - those donations and the records of the foundations are a matter of public record.

Also, completely liquidating and giving away his assets would result in a large payout once.. and then nothing ever again. You need money to make money, so holding onto some to appreciate in value (investments, interest, etc) results in more money being donated over a longer amount of time.

Sure, HN moderation comments only apply to the very narrow confines of HN. It's hard enough to make a dent within these narrow confines—why would we waste energy trying to affect anything else? Someone trying to plug their roof in a rainstorm can't keep the whole neighborhood dry.

> I'd appreciate "even more so" over of "not exactly", as this confirms the point: Unix programming means to use the C library, even plus a bit (superset).

Your claim is wrong, on a factual level. "The posix programming interface" is not "the C library". So no, not "even more so".

> Unix programming means to use the C library, even plus a bit

This was not what you claimed, and it is entirely possible to write a C program that only uses the POSIX specific functions and avoids any of the functions in the C standard library. It won't do much, but it will run to completion.

Landmark Worker-Classification Ruling Is Retroactive, Supreme Court Says
Microplastics in most water supplies, hormones in most meats, and the western diet in general being high in sugars and simple carbohydrates seem to me to be the most likely culprits. It's also possible that other sources of pollution, for example pesticides, pay a role in it but that's something I know less about.

Good luck getting anything done about the ubiquity of endocrine disrupters in our food and water supply though. The lack of an acute effect and the difficulty in even assigning causality for something like this makes regulatory action pretty difficult.
Dangerous to use if you're not careful. I guess that is one of the many downfalls of not having secure defaults. Taproot and Schnorr are slowly coming to bitcoin. But would this blog post even exist if they had used a coinjoin/payjoin or lightning?
The main arguments are proportionality and enforcement. Facebook probably had more violating content in total but out of a much much larger pool of content. In other words, the percentage of violating content on Facebook is still much smaller. Likewise, Facebook still makes efforts to moderate and police content.

Pointing to the large size of ToS violations on Facebook and concluding that Facebook is a dangerous platform is akin to pointing out how many Honda Civics and Toyota Corollas get into collisions and concluding they are dangerous models of cars. They're perfectly safe cars there's just a lot of them on the road.
Np. There is a common trend in the industry where a company hires on a data scientist, doesn't know the data prerequisites (specifically labeled data), the data scientist struggles, after a while the company fires the data scientist. This leaves the company with a bad taste in their mouth. In recent years I tend to get hired on as a specialist to help fix this. (And yes, I've been the first engineer hired on too.)

What's interesting is they tend to struggle in two different ways: 1) The data scientist that is gung ho about infrastructure work, jumps in, and then ends up doing a bad job, because it's not their strength. They end up getting let go for not being ideal at that work. 2) The data scientist who struggles with the idea of infrastructure work at all, jumps into other roles they're good at like data analyst work, helps the company in that way, but ultimately because they did not push to get an infrastructure engineer hired, they end up let go as well.

Me, I go out of my way to get an infrastructure engineer / data engineer hired early on. Also, I have worked as an engineer, so I tend to do a lot of the "hard" stuff most software engineers struggle with early on, if applicable. Eg, at one job I wrote a compression format to reduce battery drain on our devices that were collecting data.

Most data scientists struggle when it comes to CS/engineering skills (4/5th of them), so it's not uncommon for them early one while the pipes are being built to do data analyst and BI work. BI work to automate reports, which management loves, and DA work to show some amazing future service the company might be able provide to its customers. It's selling the sun and the moon really, but it gets management inspired, and helps them know what data to collect. It's not unheard of to need a minimum of two years of collected data before building a model that can be deployed becomes feasible. This can be hard on the data scientist, because there is a lot of down time before that. Many get fired during this time even when they're doing a good job. They have to wear multiple hats, but it's analyst roles (like BI work). Technically a data scientist is a kind of analyst, not engineer, so it makes sense that wearing multiple hats for them tilts in the analyst direction, not the engineering direction.

I've been writing code since I was 8 years old, so I'm one of the unusual ones that tilts in the engineering direction, but I think it is unreasonable to expect that from the average data scientist. Let them do what they do best, and hire someone else who can round everything out and you'll be in a good place. Unicorns aside, you'll need a minimum of two professionals for a data project to succeed.
> If you feel you have to tell me that your family is full of holocaust survivors before you tell me you're involved in a software distro, something is very wrong.

Let me put it another way: You are insinuating that I'm a nazi sympathizer. That is indeed very wrong, and the statement above is directly related to the insinuation I was responding to.

Please state your insinuations out loud. Then get fucked.

Edit:

> EDIT: Seems I can't reply to Ori directly so here it is: No I'm not insinuating you're a Nazi sympathizer. I wouldn't. If I thought you were I'd come straight out with it.

Great. You're implying something you don't even claim to believe. Take some responsibility for your words.

If you think the accusations are "ridiculous", why are you doing your best to amplify them?

You are being incredibly slimy.
Robert Reich's book, The System did a GREAT job explaining this. He talks about how Trump was the only one even pretending to listen. Now, hilariously, instead of taking his lead the liberals have decided to call 1/2 the county raciest and sexist.

I hate Trump and always have, but I see what he did and why it worked. I also see why insisting that 1/2 the country only liked him because they are raciest is just making things worse. LOL, this country deserves to fail.
Sure, but depending on what you’re doing, “quick” might be years. You can get a PhD in understanding the theory, a PhD in designing fast numerical algorithms, or spend many years becoming a strong software engineer. I think the willingness to learn a diverse set of things is much more important than learning narrow areas fast. The short length of a bachelors usually isn’t enough to get this diversity.

I've tried a few of them and always end up a bit disappointed since you have to spend a ton of time being very specific with the task, otherwise the person on the other side inevitably does a mediocre job at best since the incentive is to do as many task as quickly as possible, since they're paid per task
Not to mention the dark pattern of giving data scientist candidates an unsolved industry problem as their interview take-home task, and then telling them to only spend 4 hours on it. Data science hiring often feels like a competition where the winner is the one who has the most free time and willingness to do other people's work without compensation.

It's kind of a fucked up field right now.
> Producing more crops in less land is not really more "efficient"

I'm open to different definitions of efficiency, but this isn't really in question. HOW they are getting that efficiency (more fertilizer, etc.) we can agree/disagree. But they are more efficient in the most basic sense possible [more production, less land].

The official "Multi-Account Containers" extension does that. Honestly I don't understand why it's not built-in, because as you mention without it it's hard not to "leak" outside of the containers.

With it you can associate domains with containers and tell Firefox to always open them in a container. It will also automatically un-containerize if you follow a link to a third party domain. Basically how I expect containers to work.

I wasn't responding to long form critique. I was responding to several disjointed, self-righteous platitudes strung together.

Not to single out the commenter above, as it's a common phenomenon.

There was nothing muddying about my comment. If someone has an issue to take up with a particular writer and their treatment of a subject in an opinion column that is one thing, but that's not what was happening. What I was pointing out and opposing is the treatment of "MSM" as "fake news" and "propaganda"[0] as a whole. So, unless recipes, arts columns, news reporting, and travel writing are also all "fake news", the NYT is not "fake news".

Media literacy always has been of severe importance, and it really begins with a base level literacy and handling of the language and context the writing comes from. Picking out a couple of opinion columns and using them to brand an entire field of work and study as "fake news" is problematic.

Frankly, the problem seems to stem with many people misreading Orwell (or not at all before raising his name as a moral objection), and not even taking a moment to read that they're browsing the opinion section before they've decided to take off with outrage.

I never argued with their opinions. I countered their understanding of the functioning of North American media with illustrations.

[0] When this word is pegged in next to "fake news", one tends to understand, given the context, that the meaning was idiomatic in the anti-journalism sense and not the larger meaning of the word.

whole point of testosterone, being tad reductionist here, is, atleast in the wild, to make you alpha male - agressiveness to defend.

and if you look at 1900s, it was mired with geopolitial conflict, probably causing men to lead universally aggressive life.

If you believe the status-quo is taking you to the dark ages then it's not very crazy. And for the more rural portion of America that seems to be the case.
I'm going to pretext this with saying I can't like or dislike the US policing system, because it doesn't affect me directly. I can only comment on what I've been seeing through media/social media/etc.

It's tough. People are emotional. People are going to make mistakes. Sometimes mistakes are more likely to present themselves when faced with certain situations.

Just like people aren't perfect, police aren't perfect. Whether it's truly the belief of hundreds of thousands on the left, or if it's just the usual social media amplification of minority opinions - the general rhetoric of the rioters (separate from protestors) is "all cops are bad", "defund the police", "cops are pigs", "kill all cops" etc.

When you're the very people that are tasked with "maintaining the peace" and there's thousands of people rioting (leading to in one case that I know of, the abandonment and eventual burning down of a major precinct), of course there's going to be situations where police make mistakes or act with their emotions - especially when their superiors (chiefs, government officials, etc) are condoning and debatably encouraging the protests/riots with their statements/rhetoric.

Likewise with the other side, there are several videos that were circulating online of hundreds/thousands of people rioting in city centers and you have the select few "ruining" it by lighting things on fire, throwing improvised bombs/fireworks at officers, shooting and killing officers in broad daylight while they're sitting in their cars on break.

Of course officers tasked with riot control are going to be a bit more heavy-handed in how they react. Likewise - of course rioters are going to "take it to the next level" - it's an arms race that nobody can win.

It's frustrating to go and look at it from both sides and how pig-headed (ha) both of them are. There's absolutely ZERO compromise on either side - and I have no concrete idea/theory what has happened in modern society to promote this division and one-sidedness.
Moral and legal are different.

I think Sci-Hub is ethical. I'm under no illusions that this somehow makes it legal.

Sci-Hub explicitly bills itself as a "pirate website." Twitter's rules explicitly ban both copyright violation and illegal activities. Therefore Sci-Hub is violation of Twitter's rules.

Twitter may well be very selective in their enforcement, but the fact that Sci-Hub is violating Twitter's rules is not in doubt, is it?
This is a huge mischaracterization. Depending on the season and crop, migrant day workers in our area can pull $25-26 an hour. And there are fewer workers turning up every year to do it, so the cost is going up.

One of the issues in our area is how expensive it is to get enough labor for farms, so farmers are switching to easier crops to grow.
Small farming is a decent side-gig. Like rental properties, you can earn a good hourly rate on your labor with some capital investment. But the return on purely hands-off investing is minimal or negative.

I know a few people that run small, ~5-acre farms that grow soybeans or corn. From what I gather, they work the equivalent of a few weekends over the summer and earn a few grand an acre after costs. The gotcha seems to be equipment; it's so expensive that one would need huge tracts of land to cover the costs. One guy I know paid someone a % of yield to handle the plowing/harvesting. While my cousin keeps an old, depression-era tractor going and uses that. I imagine some might just lease out the land and collect just enough to cover property taxes.

This seems like a pretty common setup in the midwest. If you travel down some rural back roads, you'll come up on small 2-5 acre plots surrounded by houses. More than likely, these are owned and managed by someone nearby as a side hustle.
A good starting point for an honest discussion on the topic
