Exactly this. But there are a set of people who enjoy or feel the need to engage in combat with other schools of thought, either as validation or because of genuine desire to proselytize; and there is a subset of those people that believe that everyone should be forced into a single arena where the strongest ideas will prevail and thereby clearly delineate 'right' and 'wrong'. One of the major advantages of the Fediverse right now is that trying to do this is harder, plus there already are such arenas in the form of Twitter and Facebook. To me the complaint about 'bubbles' is usually from these believers in the school of trial by combat that are frustrated by their inability to impose this philosophy on the Fediverse. Which means it is working as designed...

Why would the price of food from a 'vertical farm' (shipping container in a parking lot) go down relative to the price food from regular farms? Even if it made sense to grow using LEDs instead of direct sunlight, that could be done on rural land instead of urban parking lots. I don't think you'll ever get enough food grown in shipping containers in urban parking lots to be anything other than a curiosity for the wealthy.

These things are small by garden standards, let alone farm standards. How many people could one of these shipping containers keep fed? How many shipping containers would you need to feed a city of a million people?

Note that this study was not a placebo controlled trial, and it was not even based on data about actual vitamin D levels. Instead, it was retrospective analysis using instrumental variables. I'm not saying its conclusions are wrong, I'm just saying that IMHO it's not a definitive study.

Quoting the study:

"Although we will need well-powered and carefully executed randomised trials and a subsequent meta-analysis of the different studies to provide an accurate estimate of the effect of vitamin D on COVID-19 prevention and severity, we can anticipate the results of such studies by comparing individuals who are genetically predisposed to lower vitamin D levels with those who are not, based on the Mendelian randomisation (MR) paradigm. In a randomised controlled trial, we would minimise the effect of confounding factors by randomly assigning participants to a treatment group receiving vitamin D supplements or to a control group receiving a placebo and thus estimate the true effect of the intervention. In the natural experiment of MR, genetic variants predisposing the individual to higher levels of vitamin D are assigned randomly at conception, based on the genetic polymorphisms of their parents, in relation to other possible confounding traits. As genetic polymorphisms remain constant throughout life and the individual does not change their vitamin D intake according to their genotype, the use of this information can provide indirect evidence of causality.18 Here, using data from genome-wide association (GWA) studies for vitamin D levels, vitamin D deficiency and COVID-19 incidence and severity, we test whether genetically increased vitamin D levels are associated with SARS-CoV-2 infection risk and COVID-19 severity."

Show HN: s3viewer helps you to list contents of a publicly open storages
s3viewer is an open-source tool that can nicely list the content of different publicly open storage types and helps to identify leaking data. The tool allows you to view all the files in a given storage and download selected files and directories. The goal is to identify the owner of the storage as quickly as possible in order to report that data is leaking from it.

Supported open storage:

- Amazon S3 Buckets

- Microsoft Azure Blobs

- FTP servers with Anonymous access allowed

- HTTP Index Of / Pages (Apache/nginx-style directory listing)

Enjoy!

> This showed that pardons could both apply to actions which hadn't been charged and categories of people.

It doesn't actually show that because the legal effect of thar pardon has never been challenged. If no one tries to charge someone subject to a pardon, or that pardon recipient never offers the pardon against the charges, nothing is resolved about the validity and effect of the pardon.
I’m not sure that’s true. While almost all terrorist attacked have been committed by fascists, only some were by Muslims.

In fact, most recent terrorist attacks were done by white supremacists, the more common type of fascist.

I looked at the Jacob Blake video. You said 'He came at the cops with a knife.' If the video is accurate, then that is untrue. There was no provocation by Jacob Blake with a knife or any other weapon shown in that video. He was shot in the back multiple times while getting in to his car, and there was no knife in his hand when the trigger was pulled. It's possible that he may have possessed a knife or that there was a knife in his car, but there was no imminent danger to the police officer when the officer fired 7 times point blank.

That you can speak this untruth so casually is discomforting. You appear to believe the lies that are being spouted by someone who is attempting to defame Jacob Blake, without ever having evaluated the original video. If you had seen the video, you never would have made the claim that "he came at the cops with a knife." Who was this person that lied to you in this way? It would be useful to name and shame this individual or group.

Please watch the video, reassess your claim, and cast your doubts upon these people who told you this untruthful story.

XMPP was pretty successful in the 2000s. More than Matrix so far. There were missed opportunities but the main reason it declined was Facebook and Google decided closed was more profitable than open.

This is also quite readable, no arguments there! I personally think SQL is a great language for broad appeal. I understand why people don't like it - there are many funky aspects - but I also understand why it's become dominant. Because it's just so damn useful.

WRT the MS specific language, my issue there is portability of knowledge. Someone with experience in say Oracle, 20 years ago, can reuse those skills with SQL. IMO, we need more common-language, independent-implementation tools like SQL in order to enable more people to code.
I had the same problem. After a couple of emails, I got completely ghosted. They simply do not respond.

Yes; automated approaches amplify bias[0]. Moreover, automated approaches launder bias; in the general population, people view computers and algorithms as "unbiased", so imagine biased results to be more accurate than humans, because a computer did them.

An app definitely can't reverse engineer the frontends for all these communication services. A skilled developer (or, more realistically, developers) probably can. They're not cheap though.
The intention was to build a media player based on a Chromium-derived web browser. Functionally it would playback content on Netflix, Hulu, and other DRM-enabled services.

The problem isn't the closed source nature of Widevine CDM, but rather that access to use it is rather difficult to come by.

DRM goes against the concept of an Open Web in which anyone can build a web browser without asking permission.

You just saw the checks and balance function today - the sitting executive used every trick he could think of to keep himself in power. He was rejected by Congress (the other arm, who he does not control), and this was affirmed by the Judiciary (who he does not control because of the lifetime appointments and other history, despite appointing a number of people aligned with his party to it).

In many countries he could have just insisted (or tell a crony he insists) and that would have been that.

How does your iMessage integration compare to AirMessage?

I've been using AirMessage for a couple months now on my new Android phone and it is about 80% reliable. Images and videos also take significantly longer to processes than if I were to use an iPhone.

I wonder if Beeper would be an upgrade over AirMessage or if it is essentially the same.
This is where e-farming can own its niche. Cut out all the agricultural overhead, grow what you need on demand at the site of the demand, perhaps at a premium quality for a premium product. You can't get more 'local' than that!

Respectfully, fuck off. This article cites the origin of the memo as the ACLU defending white nationalists' rights to protest in 2017. This is a hard issue. They're not saying free speech isn't absolute, they're saying they have finite resources and a number of civil rights they're trying to protect- and they're clearly outlining, explicitly, the right of hate groups to say their bullshit even when it runs directly opposed the ACLU's values.

I think the actual leaked memo is a phenomenal read and very well balanced. : https://online.wsj.com/public/resources/documents/20180621AC...

Excellent quotes from that memo:

> “although the democratic standardsin which the ACLU believes and for which it fights run directly counter to thephilosophy of the Klan and other ultra-right groups, the vitality of the democratic institutions the ACLU defends lies in their equal application to all.”

>We also recognize that not defending fundamental liberties can come at considerable cost. If the ACLU avoids the defense of controversial speakers, and defends only those with whom it agrees,both the freedom of speech and the ACLU itself may suffer.The organization may lose credibility with allies, supporters, and other communities, requiring the expenditure of resources to mitigate those harms. Thus, there are often costs both from defending a given speaker and not defending that speaker.Because we are committed to the principle that free speech protects everyone, the speaker’s viewpoint should not be the decisive factor in our decision to defend speech rights.

Considerations in prioritizing cases:

> Whether the speaker seeks to engage in or promote violence

> Whether the speakers seek to carryweapons

> The impact of the proposed speechand the impact of its suppression

> The extent to which we are able tomake clear that even as we defend aspeaker’s right to say what they want, we reserve our right to condemn the views themselves

I have a Nikon D5100, with the 18-55, 55-200, and 35mm lenses. The main advantage of a DSLR is getting low light exposures that are in focus, often without the need for a tripod. Looking directly through the lens helps eliminate distractions.

Anything more than 6 megapixels is fluff, unless you really like cropping away most of your image. Back in the day, I bought a Nikon D40, instead of the D40x because it had fewer megapixels (but the same size sensor, which meant each pixel on the D40 was bigger, gathered more light, thus was better able to deal with low light). I wore the shutter out after about 46,000 pictures.

Are you sure? Growing produce remotely has additional inherent costs that don't exist in vertical farms, such as wasted water, the need for very heavy machinery, the issue of transporting and transporting within certain timeframes. The last 2 problems include the cost of oil/gasoline, and the maintenance of a whole array of systems, from oil extraction pipelines to road maintenance.

This, to me, sounds like vertical farms in the grand scheme could be more efficient.
In that case, lets add the environmental and biodiversity costs of farmland.

California produces, by far, the most food of any state, ($50B for California, $27B for #2 Iowa)[1]. Texas produces, by far, the most oil of any state (1.8B barrels vs 512M for North Dakota)[2]. Catastrophic famine? The data doesn't support that assertion at all. Rude shock? I guess I'm more shocked at how much California feeds the nation, but is ruled by sparse smaller states.

No. It would be a loop/hyperloop type system you get into.
