The current president was elected in 2019, and I believe it was one of his "visions" to change chemical fertilizers to organic.

In the northern parts of the country, where the majority of rice farms are, a considerable percentage of people have kidney diseases that attribute to the use of chemical fertilizer.

There is a surplus of rice production in the country, so I don't think the reduced crop will make a big difference.

However, the state of tea farming is not the same. Price of Sri Lankan tea (Ceylon tea as it's commonly called) at auctions was slowly going down for the past few years, and tea estates expect the government to make an exception for them.

Since this ban was announced, the finance minister was changed to the brother of the current president (another can of worms), who might make necessary changes, exceptions, or probably just delay it to make sure the tea industry isn't disrupted.
Your idea sounds like a public university.

We could even collectively own it through our state government.
Before MangaDex we had Batoto (the old Batoto before some sketchy company bought the name), that was kinda of the same: serving high quality manga for most scanlators that wanted it (and also avoiding hosting pirated chapters from official sources, so kinda the same as MangaDex nowadays). As far I remember Batoto closed because of pressure from companies and also because of the high costs related to run the site.

So yeah, considering how fragile maintaining a site like this is, it is always a good idea to sync your progress in a third party so it is easier to migrate if something goes wrong.

> And while it works fine for reading, it kills any interaction with the hosting sites. No chance for monetization, socialization or anything else that can help sites survive long-term.

BTW, MangaDex doesn't have monetization because it is strict a hobby and also because it is a gray area to monetize about this kinda of work [1]. Also, their Tachiyomi client is official (MangaDex v5 API was tested primarily via their Tachiyomi client before they finished the Web interface).

[1]: both for companies (that has the copyright from the works hosted on those sites) and the scanlators (the fans that does actual work of translating those chapters). Sites that host those chapters and monetize are pretty much monetizing on work from other people.

I do a lot of searching for medical and pharmaceutical topics online, not out of hypochondria, but out of curiosity. (e.g. when they have an ad for some new drug on TV I just have to find out what it is.)

Bing and Google desperately try to put webmd, cleveland clinic, and other "authoritative sources" above Wikipedia, yet other than the prescribing information or a literature review from pubmed, I never find that kind of source to be more satisfying than Wikipedia. (For one thing, Wikipedia cites its sources.)

To clarify a bit...
42% of students graduate (undergraduate studies) without any debt.
And 78% of graduates have less than $30k in debt.

The numbers aren't great, but the majority of students finish with either zero debt or a very manageable amount of debt. There is a small fraction of students taking massive loans that skew the overall picture.

And bachelor degree holders continue to earn, on average, $1 million more than high school graduates over their career.

All that said, I agree college should be affordable without loans. Summer jobs, co-ops/internships, etc.

You speak like someone or something is forcefully preventing a girl from studying IT if she wants to. I like how feminists make it sound like they live under the Taliban. Give me one actual example of a girl that was prevented from doing what she wanted.... it's the opposite. Women are freer than ever to do whatever they want. Bad luck for feminist dogmas: it produces the opposite result of what they hoped for, and confirms the gender bias.

One of the reasons that you'd put /var on another disk back in the old days. Or /home, or wherever your web server stored its files, or your mail files...
It depends on what you're comparing it to. You can go to a trade school and learn contracting, or be an electrician, or an HVAC installer, and in your late teens and early 20's you'll make a lot more than most college grads. But unless you branch out into your own business your income is capped lower than a generic college grad's probably is. And importantly, those careers are typically hell on your body. I know we all like to talk about the dangers of sitting all day but it doesn't compare to doing physical labor for a living, by any stretch. If you have particularly onerous private loans funding a marginal degree from a for-profit institution, you might net less lifetime earnings than a very skilled electrician in an in-demand market.

If you're comparing it to unskilled labor, retail, customer service, or stuff like that, it's absolutely no contest you're still better off with the degree.

And yeah your last bit there seems like the typical HN "let's reinvent this thing that already exist but 'from first principles!!1' but forgetting all the reasons it exists in the state it does now." Public colleges have too much overhead but some of it is justified and necessary to ensure licensing, credentialing, etc.

I don’t think Munich is a good example. From what I know things were working reasonably well but Microsoft muscled their way back in with a lot of money and lobbying. If anything Munich is a warning that businesses will do whatever they can to obstruct progress if it doesn’t make money for them.

If there was a broad movement towards organic farming I would expect a similar thing: corporations will put out a lot of propaganda and buy off politicians to stop this.

I live in a red state and my experience is the opposite. I suspect it might be that when your view is the majority in your area, you're more inclined to shut out opposing ideas as "fringe". It's the "I don't know anyone who voted ___" effect.
What these men don't understand, and nobody is telling them directly, is that college is how you essesntially conspire to manage (extract value from) the people who didn't go. College education is a tribe initiation, and you are in or you aren't. The pretenses and pretexts of subject matter and socializing are secondary to this one big thing.

Everyone who graduates knows this, and this is the quiet part most won't even say out loud to themselves, and so we hear it's for other reasons like knowledge, relationships, and the experience. We will deny it and even gaslight people over it, because it's our source of social power, but for young men who need the concept framed concretely, this is the real choice.

What these young men need to be told is: the way the world really works is, there are people who graduated, and people who didn't. The latter almost exclusively work for the former, and the former find each other so that they can assign them to manage the latter on their behalf. Further, the former work together to ensure that they do not work for the latter, or have any accountability to them. As an individual non-graduate, you will always be working against a literal conspiracy against you. The exceptions who appear to "break through" and succeed, mainly exist and have their stories promoted to preserve the invisibility of the ceiling and keep you running on hope.

Sure, you can make "six figures" (the stupidest euphemism for 100k that is the very bottom end salary of membership in the current elite) in a trades job, but what you will not have is opportunity. Salary means nothing if it is not supported by opportunity, autonomy, leverage into assets, and transferrable social status to your kids.

The result is predictable, where they're having their countries, political levers, cultures and opportunities taken from them because they didn't realize they needed defending.

If you have decided not to graduate, welcome to the underclass. They'll tell you that you do it to yourself, and you'll probably never understand.

I'm surprised that Firefox has recently slowed down on the WebAssemply implementation. Especially thinking about the tools for developers to support WASM debugging with DWARF.

Unfortunately the only one solution is to use Chromium based browsers and install a plugin, that itself has some limitations (like dwarf file cannot be larger thatn 2GiB).

Sorry for a sad note in front, I'm happy because of the release!

They hilariously managed to roll out yet another UI revamp on top of the UI revamp that broke extensions without actually fixing extensions. Of course the revamp is worse, Windows 3.1-style 3D bevels on bookmark icons now (while ignoring the total waste of screen space from the bookmark grid layout, of course). Mozilla's death spiral is obvious because it's clear all the smart people have already left the building

edit: defending this a bit since it seems the negativity isn't warranted. The build that broke extensions and rearranged the entire UI was pushed as an automatic update with no warning. The last update on the AMO blog about this state of affairs is from 8 months ago. This was a huge breakage done without warning and nothing seems to have been done to resolve it in the interim.

If you're just tuning in, addons were about 80% the reason to use Firefox on mobile at all. Now there is a committee to approve which extensions are permitted on mobile to "protect the experience", when previously open ended access to extensions literally was the entire experience.

> justice, equity and redistribution are essential to climate policy

> we must abandon economic growth, which is the basis of capitalism

I've worked in environmental sciences, and am in the political sphere, and I'm really shocked at seeing an IPCC report attached to what looks like clear leftist propaganda, identifiable by its vocabulary, being upvoted on HN.

Clean energy and less waste is the future. Economic growth is also the future. These can coexist. Attaching this all to communist talk-points around "redistribution" is so 2021 far-left, it's really jarring, and would be humorous if not frightening.

Climate change is a serious issue, almost certainly the greatest issue of this century, and politicizing it into some communist arc is the absolute worst thing one could do to help enact change. It only sets us back.

Revolutionary Access to Intangible Asset Data of Fortune 500 Companies
Hey everyone! As the title says, I made a [financial data web app](www.trackerelite.io) that empowers the next generation of investors.

For example, We democratize intangible asset data via our web interface. You can access our data on B2B Rights, Brand, Relationships etc that can be protected by Intellectual Property and that drives stake holder Value.

I started working on this a few years ago, with the idea that Intangible Assets are the next generation of stock market data. Our platform which is in beta, solves many issues for us and for other people investing in today’s culture. It’s personally has helped drive my portfolio up 700% in the past 3.5 years.

I am curious to hear any feedback on the idea but also what we can implement to make the app more useful.

Re: No mutability

Algo 101 (hash, skip list, btree, merge sort) is a thing. Doing so cache friendly is a thing. Knowing that for small N a linear scan may be faster than a AVL/Redblack tree is a thing.
How is one seriously going to skirt this? Containers need mutability.

Re: Atomicity failure:

Starting with Hoare, popularized by Meyers, combined with aspects of specification side by side with code (ADA, Spark, Frama) failure atomicity is better construed as: post-conditions cannot be met because pre-conditions were not met. Failing to meet pre-conditions is undefined behavior. Going the other way, programmers who don't have a function / class / scope contract have failed to even engage the issue. Claiming no mutation I think is a bit broad, and a bit tangential in the same way that exceptions can be in this context.

Embedded Finance Solutions – What Are They? Definitions and Examples
My complaint about "organic" is that it's a case of jumping to conclusions, and I fear that this is far too complex an issue for that to be a successful long-term strategy.

Organic is typically understood to mean avoiding the use of things that aren't considered "natural." Which, in turn, tends to mean avoiding the use of both chemical and genetic engineering.

To me, the idea that the most environmentally friendly agents for use in large scale agriculture just happen to already be sitting around in nature seems quite extraordinary. To take the case of pesticides and herbicides, I'm certainly no biologist, but the general pattern I see is that that nature provides broad-spectrum, non-specific poisons that kill relatively indiscriminately. And the only reason that these agents don't tend to cause a lot of damage to ecosystems is that they tend to be used in the way nature intended - that is to say, on a very small, non-industrial scale. Think "poisonous animals only using it for personal protection," or, "clove oil mostly only being found inside of a clove plant." I can't see any reason to see why we should just assume that taking these sorts of toxic agents that evolved for very limited use cases, and applying them over countless hectares of cropland, is actually a good thing.

I also worry about just accepting organic agriculture's lower yield. Less yield per unit of cropland translates into more cropland being needed to feed the humans. Which, in turn, means more habitat destruction due to human activity.

Versus, if you allow engineering into the equation, you can start to try and engineer things to be less harmful when used at an industrial scale. A pesticide that is engineered to be as specific as possible to only the pest in question. Or, let's dream big, some sort of precision agriculture fertilization system that can dynamically reformulate the fertilizer being applied to meet the soil needs of that particular corner of the field.

None of this is to say that mainstream agriculture is automatically better than organic. More that. . . well, at least in the USA, the organic program is organized under the United States Department of Agriculture's marketing division. Which is very good at marketing. They've done an excellent job of convincing American consumers of a false dichotomy that the organic program is the sole standard bearer of environmentally friendly agriculture. And that's a shame, because some foregone conclusions about what it means to be organic have therefore trapped people who want to be environmentalist into a local minimum that probably isn't nearly as environmentally friendly as they could be if their options hadn't been artificially constrained by a paragon of crony capitalism.
We pay well, but not Google or Apple well. Not being a huge tech shop, we don't have a lot of H1-B opportunities laying around, which means I mostly deal with domestic candidates. I'll get candidates, for sure, but it can take awhile to fill roles.
