That study seems to have many deficiencies. First, it is a county analysis. If you look at the distribution of farmer's markets, it seems to follow the population density of counties in general: https://www.census.gov/library/visualizations/2010/geo/popul...

Secondly, the data comes from the USDA which seems highly dubious. For example, Armstrong County in PA has "0" farmer markets for the purposes of the study even though they have 120 farms with direct sales. Even a cursory Google search for a community inside Armstrong has a farmer's market three times a week: https://www.farmersmarketonline.com/fm/KittanningFarmersMark... . The data and methodology of the study is clearly flawed.

Finally, "living in a county with a farmer's market" is not really a measure of accessibility. Just because you live in a county with a farmer's market, it doesn't mean you can get to it easily. Even a neighboring county might be more accessible.

Overall, the methodology of the paper is highly dubious. But even if the point remains "farmer's markets are not accessible for many Americans", the takeaway message is not that farmer's markets are a pipe dream. The takeaway should be that the focus on globalization of the agricultural supply chain in search of the cheapest food has put us in a precarious spot as a species that many people can't participate in sustainable food because the roots of society has relied on access to cheap food from elsewhere. It's a red flag warning to change our policies, not a sign to give up.

To the other people who down voted my original comment that the solution is easy. It truly is, we simply need to pay more for food. We need to actively choose a more robust system versus the cheapest. I would never ask the government to subsidize farmer's markets, but simply removing subsidies on existing products that would double the cost of specific food items would go a long way for aligning the market to start to grow more stuff locally. We won't solve any climate issues by spending less money.
The "hold-your-offline-device-hostage-until-you-attempt-to-connect" pattern. It goes something like this:

When setting up a new unlinked kindle device, Amazon tries to trick you into connecting to the internet by showing a wifi setup screen that cannot be skipped. The only way to skip it is to supply the device with bad credentials and let it attempt to connect and fail. Only when it fails will it allow its owner to skip that step.

Microsoft has also started employing the same strategy in windows 10. Within the first year of setting up windows 10 locally, the user will be presented with a screen they can't dismiss until they link their local user account with an online microsoft account. Again, the workaround here is to let windows try to connect with bad credentials. Once it has failed to login, it will allow the user, a child who urgently needed to get to her online classes in my case, to skip this step.

Words can't describe the contempt I have for companies who engage in these patterns.

I was curious about the following comment on SMT in the post:

>"From a hardware point of view, implementing SMT requires duplicating all of the parts of the processor which store the "execution state" of each thread – things like the program counter, the architecturally-visible registers (but not the rename registers), the memory mappings held in the TLB, and so on. Luckily, these parts only constitute a tiny fraction of the overall processor's hardware."

Is each "SMT core" then just one additional PC and TLB then? I'm not sure if "SMT core" is the correct term or just "SMT" is but it seems like generally with Hyper Threading there is generally 1 hyper thread available for each core effectively doubling the total core count. It seems like it's been that way for a very long time. Is there not much benefit beyond offering single hyper thread/SMT for each core? Or is just prohibitively expensive?
I'm not sure I understand the math in the thread that arrives at 8.75% inflation (or 8.75% off).

160 / 140 yields 14% increase in price per unit, and (1 - 140 / 160) yields a discount of 12.5%.

But also, this isn't necessarily an indicator of inflation simply due to debt financing / monetary policy -- recall that in the early days of the pandemic, there were severe shortages of paper and cleaning products (TP anyone?). If inflation were in fact in the double digits, I'd expect to see it across the board (e.g. in the price of eggs / milk which you can't play as many games with).

Most people I know don't mind reading a journalist that is open with their biases as long as that journalist is objective when it comes to facts. The problem in today's media is that biased journalists ignore facts or just outright lie when the facts don't jive with the narrative they are trying to push. Its one thing to report on a story and spin the facts in such a way that correlates with your perspective and entirely another thing to conceal facts or invent your own. Most legacy "journalism" has devolved into a toxic brew of woke hot takes and the uncritical, anonymous dissemination of intelligence agency assertions.

The Guardian was mentioned above, and is an excellent example of this. The Guardian never made much attempt to hide their social and political biases in the past, but it was still a widely respected and credible newspaper, even to those who didn't necessarily share the same perspectives. Unfortunately, The Guardian, like most other legacy news outlets, went off the rails at some point over the last 5 years. They stopped reporting the news, and starting inventing it. Anyone following their coverage of the Assange saga saw numerous examples of this such as the, "Manafort met Assange in the embassy" fairy tale (including details like what Manafort was wearing to make the lie extra convincing). The problem is, it never happened! Yet still, 4 years later, it sits on their website, no retraction, no correction. The credibility problem is real.

I believe the issue is that the range of activities you can engage in is effectively limited to the roundtrip range of the vehicle since there is such a high refueling time.

You can charge a Tesla with a standard type-2 quick charger (if you have an adapter for the J-1772 or CCS cable), but you can't use the supercharger network to charge a non-tesla BEV, AFAIK.

In the Boeing case, outsourcing is likely a problem not because of the geographical location of the engineers/developers, but the cost-centric mindset that drives such decisions with utter disregard for technology and technical expertise.

That's a good point, I've only ever used small 1x10 and 1x12 combos (Fenders). I've wanted to try a 4x12 Marshall stack for a while but have yet to find the opportunity.
Think of proof of work, where you create loads of hashes for each challenge that comes in, once people came along with ASICs they could create so many more hashes in the same amount of time! The chances of finding a proof with an ASIC is directly correlated with how much more hashes you can create than a CPU in a given time. With proof-of-space you are storing the hashes on disk. The more hashes you have stored the more chance you have of finding a proof. You can delete those hashes at any time if you would like (to use the space for some other purpose) and the only effect is that you will just be lowering your chances of finding a proof for any future challenges. You don't have to be connected to the network all the time, however you will only have a chance of winning Chia while you are connected to the network.
The positives of this approach:
1) Once you have plotted you drive and the plots are farming you use very little electricity (many people farm with Rasberry Pi's)
2) You can utilize unused storage on drives you already own and then as you need that space for some other purpose you can delete the plots.
3) Your chances of wining are directly correlated with your share of the network space ie. someone who plots twice as much has you has on average twice the chance of wining a block, no more, no less.
4) Building a special ASIC for proof of work serves no useful benefit beyond what it was intended to do. Whereas if someone was to build a cheaper more efficient form of storage, well that would be a benefit to everyone!
I used to have a model 3; I used to live in a suburb with a garage, and we moved into downtown Chicago. We ditched the Tesla simply because we didn't want to have any car at all.

To that end, if you're urban enough to not need a car, the point is moot.

In my humble opinion, being urban-yet-still-needing-a-car-but-not-having-a-garage is an orthognal problem: we should put more effort into public transit or bike or walkability (e.g., more compact neighborhoods, with no street parking), with the end goal of reducing *all* car ownership.

For road trips, level 3 charging *for teslas* is truly, truly excellent. About a year ago we traveled up to Michigan's upper peninsula, which at the time had no superchargers, but we were able to trickle charge off of a power socket on the porch of the friends we were visiting.

We were planning a trip to family in rural Virginia before the pandemic struck, and we could either trickle charge off 110v outside their garage, or we could have backed the car up to the window outside their laundry room and used the 240v32A socket for their dryer.

There's plenty of options for charging an EV, especially if you're willing to tolerate minor inconvenience. It is something you should know about, and plan around, definitely--but with the amount of effort Tesla is putting into expanding the supercharger network, and with the gradual rollout of more and more public level 2 charging, it's not nearly the issue I think many people make it out to be.

Life, including spaceflight, would be pretty much the same as it is for us. Since the entire solar system would be moving, the relative velocities of the planets and moons would be the same as in any other solar system.

The rest of the universe would look quite different, though. Stars "ahead" of the solar system - in the path of its motion - would be noticeably blue-tinted and clumped together. Stars behind the system would be red-shifted. There are some great visualizations at [0].

try as I have, I can't imagine how Apple wouldn't sell more servers if they bought Ampere than the entire generic ARM server OEM industry can collectively. By generic, I mean to exclude custom silicon per AWS, Azure, et.al., but I'm tempted to think that the only reason why there's been nothing from Apple in the server category, simply because they're quietly waiting for a good candidate for acquisition to emerge. Ampere looks very interesting at the moment, but combine the Ampere chips with proven track record of optimisation and integration with the OS, and fast forward a few years to a time when we're more accommodating of vendor OS control in exchange for getting back some independence from the cloud hegemony players, oh, why not sprinkle over it all some fairy dust from a reincarnated Web Objects offering, and checkout process management provided by Apple, and I can just about see the next two decades of extraordinary growth that's presently challenged by the sheer scale of Apple's business, coming to fruition in ways that we'll be mostly very happy with for giving us all jobs back that are dying out in the white heat of today's oligopolist clouds now gathering and blocking the sun.

In an effort to not repeat some of the great comments already, I think it would be beneficial for you try to find things to do that don't involve your phone.

Try to find something to do that you find more interesting than being on your phone, sports (Running/Cycling), hobbies, walks etc.

I'm as guilty as anyone for looking at my phone too often, its usually only when I have nothing better to do, because of that it makes it worse.

"Making that discussion off limits internally could ensure that inequality in profit sharing becomes a structural feature of the company."

They didn't really indicate why the end is sealed with a fluid as opposed to something physical. I suspect it's because flowing ink with a solid stopper would create a vacuum and quickly cease to function. A stopper is fluid and so can flow along with the ink. The space between the stopper and the shell is probably vented.

The hard part of fixing it can be that the manufacturer used a range of sources for each part. The parts are available, but it can be difficult to tell which easily available part is the right one. This is only a problem for fixing a single device - if you fix many, then you likely have multiple parts anyway.

Right to repair. Hasn't happened because it's not a right yet.

Alternatively maybe anti trust, since using your monopoly on hardware to get a monopoly on software which is the essence of anti trust anyways. Hasn't happened because anti trust enforcement is really weak. Probably also doesn't force documentation.

Alternatively copyright and patent misuse, which is using your government granted monopoly on creating the exact hardware (copyright), or some of the features in the hardware (patents) to get a monopoly in an adjacent area (running software on that hardware) voiding the copyrights and patents. Hasn't happened because while the law exists (in common law) the courts apply it very conservatively. Also probably doesn't get documentation, just the right to run things on it.

Alternatively an interpretation of the quid quo pro of intellectual property (i.e. you disclose something in exchange for a temporary monopoly) being interpreted more strongly, such that you have to disclose the details of the internals to get intellectual property rights. Hasn't happened yet because today the quid quo pro isn't interpreted that strongly.

Yes you absolutely want to be farming with spinning drives for the better price to capacity ratio as you mention! (Hopefully in a few years this will change and SSDs will overtake spinning disks in this metric)

The most efficient way to start your farm is to build your plot with a temporary drive (an SSD) and then move it to a destination drive (Spinning HDD) where the actual farming takes place.

The building of the plot is what does heaps of writes and reads and puts the wear on an SSD.

You absolutely can plot directly to Spinning Disk however it is slow and you will really be trashing the heads if you try and plot multiples to the same disk.

The solution is an enterprise SSD with proper endurance. If a consumer SSD doesn't state it's TBW then you can be pretty sure its not very much.
