> There is harm in using to much energy, when we are on the brink of climate crisis.

I would argue that the only climate crisis that exists is a distinct lack of imagination. Nuclear Energy has already solved all of humanity's energy needs for decades and does so in a far more environmentally friendly manner than any renewable energy solution that currently exists.

> There is harm when people get swindled out of money.

Fiat currencies do not protect people from inflation. In fact, they're designed to enable it and systematically rob you of your savings and purchasing power without you even seeing it. Who's swindling who?

> There is harm with criminal organizations have ways to get huge amounts of capital.

Do criminals sometimes use crypto? Of course.

Do you know what they use far more of? Dollars, Euros, Yuan, Yen, and other fiat currencies.

Criminals get a lot more mileage out of fiat currency than moving their funds around on a public ledger.

I would argue that if the comercial software authors manage to convince someone to pay money for it, it means that someone is extracting some value which allows them to pay for said software. It also means that someone is investing time to learn, to install, and finally to use that product.
>If I am sneaking a payload in, and I have different exploits for different OS versions, I would exactly disguise it as spam.

Right, but the point is that GP seems to have been tipped off by the "sketchy links", rather than the spam itself, and that there are far better ways to compose your spam texts than ones with sketchy links.

>Pretending to be a busines, or a random person with wrong number, and then DELETING IT is a noteable indicator of compromise.

It depends on the nature of the exploit. I was operating under the assumption that "0 click" means the exploit gets run as soon as the phone receives it, which would allow for the exploit to clean up after itself without alerting the owner, unless the owner was staring at the phone the exact moment the message came in.
Any large communication platform has a choice: either accept some form of content neutrality or become a petty and chaotic tyrant constantly reeling from one public backlash after the other. YouTube made its choice. Now, random videos and channels get demonetized, content gets deleted for no reason and people covering basic news speak in code to avoid the wrath of the idiot AI. In the background Google publishes batshit crazy research papers that call automated propaganda "AI fairness" and relies on a horde of underpaid serfs bordering mental breakdown to make final decisions on content moderation. Welcome to the predicable future of your bad decisions.

The War Department did construct 10 ammonia plants which made precursors for explosives, which could also make fertilizer precursors, and they absolutely switched them over after the war.

But ammonia production capacity doubled by 1950, and that wouldn't have happened without a demand side to the story as well. It also turned out that farmers realized nitrogen fertilizers work really, really well.

I spent years "working on" (battling) our own company-hosted Atlassian suite. I'm a software engineer / architect and was thrown admin powers to get a project up and running.

It was constant a battle of "the critical basic feature you need in this micro version is broken" and other critical functions being hidden in random places.

I applied to their engineering team citing my experience and ability to help with a lot of these things, but never even heard a response.

Current alternative software suites I've seen are beyond terrible or generally non-existent / missing major features. I'm sure there's some "pretty SaaS solutions" out there from a startup that charges exorbitant prices, but I don't believe their back end or security are going to be any better.

I don't know if you've come across this video on HN before, but I discovered it here and it was an eye-opener for me. It's a guy called Gabe Brown who transformed his farm into one that needed no fertilizer by using no-till and rotation. One of the most compelling things is that he's no tree-hugger (he even has an uncomplimentary comparison with the soil from an organic farm) - his focus is squarely on profit, which goes up when you're not forking out huge amounts of money on chemicals. I thought I'd give it five minutes, then 2.5 hours later I realised I'd watched the whole thing.

> No using any "ask {specific person}" either

It's worth mentioning that the diagram is explicitly incomplete. The yellow endpoints are fixes but except for "END" the other endpoints are all either "unknown state" (i.e. "I have no idea what's broken") or problems that aren't addressed in further detail like "The issue could be with Kube Proxy" or even "Consult StackOverflow".

I'm not sure what a complete diagram would even look like but I don't think there's any way to infer complexity by looking at them in comparison.
> Would they continue to insist on the organic label if they saw these crates of rotting zucchini mush?

Probably. They feed their kids “organic” because they believe it will give them a competitive edge. Not because if concern for people who can’t shop at Whole Foods.
What I see is that if a difference is indeed found, there can only be two reasons for it: Racism or sexism.

Computer science or video games are an example. The demographics allegedly show very prevalent sexism here that is allegedly responsible for said difference.

The self-reflection about how other fields have similar one-sided demographics with the opposite sex isn't interesting on the other hand. On the contrary, that realization is ignored, because it would endanger the sexism story. A look at the pipeline is also just ignored, even if demographics are one-side before discrimination even could occur.

I don't believe that some people believe their own conclusions though. The bad thing is that states and governments now try to correct something that is based on false assumptions. This is nothing else than totalitarian and absurd behavior.

It's absolutely true that you can't keep farming the same soil year in and year out and expect it to produce. This is why crop rotation is done and why fields are allowed to remain fallow from time to time. It seems to me that these concepts are bundled in the term "long-term sustainable farming."

Book recommendation: The Wizard and the Prophet: https://www.amazon.com/Wizard-Prophet-Remarkable-Scientists-...

It’s a history of the step changes in ag yield due to (generally “non-organic”) optimizations, and two scientists’ competing visions of what things we should be optimizing for (feeding hungry people now, food security, “naturalness”, long-term soil health, use of chemicals, energy efficiency, aesthetics, crop diversity, etc).
Interesting. Probably it's different now. We use both SSO and TLS and TLS is on by default now. May be they changed their plans since you spoke with them.

Yes, there is, you rotate your crop with legumes. There are also crops that gather stable phosphorous and activates it, but those tend to be long-lived and thus bad for rotation.

What I don't get is why the focus on fertilizers? There may be some wisdom on not spraying random poisons on the stuff you are going to eat¹, but the worst you can get with fertilizers is soil salinization, and this is perfectly avoidable on any place that isn't a desert already, and there are ways to avoid it on deserts too, just a bit more expensive.

1 - So there's a reason for a poison by poison discussion, the overall label of "organic" just poisons the discussion.
I remember being fooled by the whole "We're Swiss, isn't that great?" marketing at the beginning. It was disappointing, to say the least, when I learned that Switzerland is part of the N-eyes agreement(s).

Truth is that Email is almost a dead protocol now, anyway. As much as that hurts me to say. It was never able to meet the moment- PGP is complicated and easy to mess up, it's pretty damn hard to host your own Email server and not end up in everyone's SPAM or blocked, and if they person on the other end is using GMail, your shit's being read, analyzed, and archived anyway.

Email is going to be a business-only (as in "companies"/"corporations"/etc) protocol soon.

Remember, versioning rules are like D&D. The purpose of the rules is to give you a framework to operate in that is easily understood in the vast majority of situations, not to comprehensively define every aspect. You don't get any rewards for following the rules, after all. When things get weird, you just ask the DM, they make a ruling, and then you keep the game moving forward.

There's always going to be corner cases. Fortunately, there is always a person available to act as a referee.
If you look closely, I didn't assume natural numbers, I stopped at Peano axioms. Stopping at set theory would have been reasonable but it would have added a line at the end about sets that wasn't describing numbers per se.

Not just no company: no person can make such a promise. There is no one who is outside the reach of government power, should a government develop sufficient interest in that person's doings. The only way to really avoid this is to remain completely anonymous throughout the development process, and that's a tall order.

You may look at, what appears to be an upcoming trend, of people hosting free software as services for others, or open VPS'es, alternative small-scale cloud providers. They are set up to uphold different values than the 'capitalist machine' (ethics, sustainability, energy-use, privacy, etc). And various ways to organize + monetize (where decent wage is often the objective, not maximimising the bottom line).
Men want to be wanted, and women generally don't want to be with a lower-status man than themselves.

What proportion of women tend to date men who earn less than them, are shorter than them, have a lesser degree than them? Not a very big one, and men know it, so they steer clear of those women.

Similarly, most men prefer to date women shorter than them, who earn less than them, etc. Why? I'd guess because most men like to feel like they're providers and protectors, and most women like to feel provided and protected for by their partner.

In summary, Sri Lanka has been facing an economic crisis and is struggling to pay for imports with rising exchange rates. One of the effects of this has been a push to reduce dependence on foreign imports across many sectors — including fertilizer.
The choice of "content neutrality" is pretty much keyword also for:

1. constantly reeling from one public backlash after the other

2. advertising dropping you due to controversial content

3. government coming after you for controversial content

Why would any AI be considered creative? Most AI is just brute forcing the problem.
If the bug wasn't documented and the user effectively relied on "undefined behavior" I don't think it constitutes a breaking change. Like if a function called with certain parameters causes an unexpected crash, and a user decided to use that to quit the application, you can't reasonably be expected to maintain that behaviour.

If the bug was that a well documented function actually behaved differently than was expected but still consistently (like a string function that was supposed to return a number of characters but really returned a number of bytes) then yeah, that's a breaking change.

In practice the line can be fuzzy of course, but I find that it's not usually to hard to decide what constitutes a breaking change and what doesn't.

Crafting “Crafting Interpreters” (2020)
I don't recall what kind of coverage NPR had over the Iraq war; maybe it was generally favorable. But it would surprise me if the station were "in favor of" it full stop. It's certainly possible to find critical pieces from the era by googling.

Voice of America and Radio Free Asia are governmental agencies; NPR is a private non-profit organization funded by advertising, donations, grants, etc (but not directly by the federal government).

You say this as if human beings are entirely unfamiliar with the use of facades in everyday life (need I mention most women's familarity with "the nice guy"), more so in those domains where power and position are at stake.

A spurious signal at LHC (that disappeared in later runs) that spurred a cottage industry of arXiv submissions trying to explain it. Authors, mostly grad students, quickly submitted hundreds of low quality articles trying to get in on the "discovery".

Unfortunately no. I wholeheartedly agree with you on this.

> As far as I know the fundamental points of the bell curve (of which only a small bit relates to race) are nigh-universally acknowledged by people in the relevant fields to be true.

AFAIK this is really not the case. I've seen a survey (which I can find now :/) of people working in this field and there's actually a clear division between the conservative (genetics first) group and the liberal (society is key) one.

> (of which only a small bit relates to race)

It's not that small, and when you dedicate an entire section of your book to this particular topic and you keep using mainly openly racist studies as a reference, it's unlikely to be an accident.
This is a common misconception by Westerners who know virtually nothing about modern China. The CPC has around 100,000,000 direct members, and a domestic approval rating of around 90%. The CPC is popular because under its leadership China has seen the biggest economic & geopolitical resurgence in human history, while reducing poverty and containing pandemics and other threats. Pretty straightforward.

Easily digestible quotes from Western pundits who have probably never even visited China are not a substitute for having the barest understanding of modern China.
The fact that the video did not play made me think it was a joke.
Yeah, I understand that it was illegal in Switzerland, and the Swiss authority was not a passive participant, but your wording 'unless you commit a crime in Switzerland' implies that the crime itself is committed in Switzerland, not that it could be an action contrary to Swiss law in any cooperating country.
One thing that's worth talking about is the approach that the government took. The sudden ban on a vital component of their agriculture (non-organic chemical fertilizer) had some bad non-obvious impacts.

A better strategy towards the shift to organic (regardless of how you feel about the move itself) would have been to impose an ever increasing tax to understand the long-term impacts of moving away from something their economy heavily relied on.

Also, to the degree that college is used as a signal of intelligence/skill, it's a waste for individually and collectively. You could just have the college entry exams and hand out diplomas for those, and it would be nearly as good.
How would you set it up? The decentralized world doesn't really have a great system for curation at this point (unless you can point to a counterexample!), and so I'm in favor of any sort of playing around with decentralized voting/curation until we find something that seems to be working well.
