You're going to need a citation for the statement that organic farming releases more greenhouse gasses. That would be a deeply un-intuitive finding, and even with that citation I would want to scrutinize it carefully.

Organic farming builds soil, where chemical farming strips it away. Organic farming has no dependencies on fossil fuels, but fossil fuels are used to create the fertilizers that chemical farming depends on. Any analysis of the comparitive greenhouse gas emissions needs to include a full lifecycle analysis of the fertilizers and pesticides used in conventional industrial farming. And I really, seriously doubt that will find lower greenhouse gas emissions in chemical farming.

As for habitat loss - organic farming done right provides ecosystem services. Not as well as fully wild habitat, it's true, but it's not totally dead space and does support the ecosystem. Where as conventional, industrial farming is worse than dead space - it creates a death zone where anything that goes there dies.

So even if organic farming is a little bit less space efficient, on total it is better for the ecosystem because it provides positive habitat, as opposed to the negative habitat of conventional farming.

I would also challenge your assertion that its less space efficient, since there have been other studies that have found it can be equivalent when done right and given the right conditions: "Under certain conditions—that is, with good management practices, particular crop types and growing conditions—organic systems can thus nearly match conventional yields, whereas under others it at present cannot." [1]

We've also spent a lot less time optimizing organic farming on a large scale than we have conventional industrial farming. So there are likely substantial efficiency gains yet to be found. I don't think you stand on firm ground declaring that organic farming is worse, environmentally, in the long term. The harms of industrial farming are extensive and extensively documented.

I had the same dream but gave up on it quite a while ago. I think the only reason it worked at the time is because there was nothing "better" to compete with.

However, as awful as they can be, I'm starting to appreciate some of the content creation platforms (Roblox and TikTok specifically). My 5 year old has pieced together some things that really embody the hacker spirit and legitimately made me say "how the fuck did you do that without any help?"
Electron is popular because it makes cross-platform desktop apps easier, or because developers have existing JavaScript code that they want to share between a desktop app and a web app.

I would say that if you just wanted to spit out a Windows application, and you already knew the technologies, WPF or Winforms would probably be better (despite the fact that WinUI is the new hot stuff).
You can have best of both worlds with container OSes like Bottlerocket.

In any case, in you have a web API written in Java then you can connect advanced monitoring tools like JDK Flight Recorder and directly affect the system via JMX beans.

So it is more a matter of tooling maturity than anything else.
Yes, this is like that time that the government banned asbestos and destroyed the residential development market.
I would say economics is more like historical studies. It is not trying to predict anything, it just give you some tools to learn from the past.

It is not supposed to be a crystal ball that you can see thought the future. Actually, I am not sure if such thing actually exists, but probably a physicist can prove that.
It is a combination of factors, but the primary determinants are the mineral composition and the organic and biological content. It's more cost effective, though time consuming, to make soil in place than it is to strip mine it and transport it.

Meat Atlas: Facts and figures about the animals we eat 2021

This report was produced by Friends of the Earth Europe (based in Belgium) and Heinrich-Böll-Stiftung (a German political foundation).

Here is the press release about the report from Friends of the Earth Europe.

Europe must curb meat industry to halt climate and biodiversity crises:

https://friendsoftheearth.eu/press-release/new-meat-atlas/

Whether you are a meat eater or not (I'm a meat eater), there is no dispute that industrial farming has given us an insatiable appetite for cheap meat in Europe and the US. An appetite that shows no sign of abating.

We're conditioned to believe that current meat consumption levels have always been like this thoughout history. But we are eating more meat today than in any other period of human history (at least in the West).

If even climate change can't change our meat consumption habits, what will?

Note: See page 13 of the report for a chart showing Meat consumption by country, per capita, 2017 which is captioned: "A general rule: the richer a country is, the more meat its inhabitants consume. But other factors, like climate or religion, also influence per capita consumption."
> Phosphate mining makes a giant mess.

No, in comparison to many other mining activities, it's a much smaller size of a mess.
Pinephone and Librem 5 have that.
Clean NFTs on Tezos
A bit off-topic but why does the Mozilla Foundation have researchers looking at this sort of data (I've been donating assuming I was supporting Firefox which frankly is the only thing I care about from Mozilla).
In your second link there's Power @ iso-speed comparisons within TSMC's nodes and TSMC has 3 revisions of their N7 with 3 different power usages. Presumably, Intel can do similar things within their generations too.
I bought it from pCloud, and the person I replied to also said in another reply that he was talking about pCloud, so I think we both have had the same experience and it should be ok to name names as one person could be lying but if 2 people who never met each other say the same thing I guess that would make it at least believable
Same here. Except I'd also like to add in the extra problem of "stability" - or lack thereof.

I had them on ethernet. Disabled wifi, verified they're getting enough power. And between 18-30 hours of operation, all the nodes will go unresponsive. A serial cable shows the machines up, but they lose all network connectivity.

There's nothing in dmesg. The networks are just dead.

It's not worth enough for me to troubleshoot them. They're terrible hardware platforms, badly supported, and garbage to use.
It must be a serious indictment that an active genocide causes less fatalities than the war in Iraq, then.
There are other microkernels to chose from, like QNX or INTEGRITY OS.
This is so true. I'm Black and attended one of the worst performing elementary schools in my city for the first four years of school, which gave me an awful base for my math learning when I was finally transferred to a much higher performing school in a Jewish neighborhood on the other side of the city, not to mention high school and college. Only when I started working in programming did a lot of algebra and trig click (probably helps my first junior role threw me in the deep end working with linear algebra and trigonometry in animation and was lucky to have a senior around who chose to take on a mentor role). Math in public schools is basically magical spell incantation and it appears to most kids that you either have "it" or you don't. Math is a subject I believe requires long-term work that doesn't easily fit into the grade pass/fail structure of school, but then again a lot of aspects of mass education are fundamentally broken.
You mean an EU funded email service that said “by default” we don’t log complied with EU requests and started logging!?

Better rabble on HN for a few hundred comments, this is outrageous.
Can someone add some context to this? I have never heard of this channel and a link to a screenshot of a generic message from Google tells me nothing.
Pretty sure the magic is that you turn on the device and you can immediately type code.

You can load and run, of course. Those are the first commands, but then you can also try print etc.

If the raspberry pi didn't open into a linux prompt but a python REPL and you used python to load, save, run, I think it would have the same programmer nudge effect that the 80s machines had.
I always got the impression that many of these systems were designed to push workers to near breaking point on the assumption that there would always be others to replace them.

I am curious whether job satisfaction is actually down or whether people just now have a path to leaving.
Calling ivermectin horse dewormer is like calling penicillin cow antibiotics or fish tank saver.

It's in significant use in humans.
That shouldn't be an issue because nobody should eat fertilizer! It's plant food, not people food.
Also, in my experience in the US - Data Only SIMs tend to only be available if you have a primary 'regular' account with the carrier.

I haven't had too much luck just being able to get a stand-alone data sim from Verizon, AT&T or TMobile...
Prevent droplet spread.
I'm not sure I understand your comment, this is exactly what I spent hundreds of hours of my life trying to do. Was I unclear that my entire educational career was being the person who got through to students that traditional education was giving up on?
Rareness is relative--there weren't a lot of books, but there weren't a lot of people who could afford or read them, either. So an old book was just an old book. Printing was increasing the number and affordability of books, so saving an old manuscript may not have seemed a high priority. Possibly the rest of it was already lost/damaged.
I didn't read it as denigration, it was a legit point. We make inferences based on the type of discussion.
One could argue that we've decoupled ourselves from natural selection in significant ways by moving toward more egalitarian societies where huge numbers of people who would've been shut out in our more brutal past aren't shut out any longer. Non-humans don't have anything comparable in terms of scale.

Alternatively, it could be viewed as more of a reshuffling, where selection will still take place in the long run but with very different pressures.

The way I see it, none of us asked to be born, so if we really are trying to be 'fair', everyone should be granted a base level of material support regardless of their ability to contribute. I also think all of us would be much better off we collectively valued happiness more than material wealth. There is definitely a place for incentives, but when those come with the baggage of class warfare, past a certain point they become more destructive than constructive on aggregate.
I hope you are not talking about people. We break bones, bump our heads, or lose too much blood and we are out of commission.

What you are talking about is a war-based society, a fault-tolerant system, with lots of redundancy, that runs through conflict and chaos. The last two decades were an experiment in that one.
Correlation is not necessarily causation.

Anti-vaxxers and government mismanagement long predate online trolls.
I had a hair on my phone, and I tried to blow it off while wearing an N95. Nothing. Even air itself is substantially slowed through an N95. It's the difference between sucking a viral load at full speed into your lungs, and having it crawl through a barrier at extremely low speed.
Most definitely, which is why seeing all the help wanted signs and stores/restaurants only being open for 8 hours a day makes me happy.

The 1AM $5 burrito or 11PM Walmart run was always predicated on those workers not having an option to be home with their families.

I am curious if we will see more price differentials for services during evening/overnight/weekend/holiday where we previously did not.

Chevy Bolt fires: GM should respond with radical openness
That's what I immediately thought, "How convenient, a photo that suits article's the narrative: that all young men are NEETs (not in employment, education, or training). I suppose they couldn't have shown a productive young man as it would be antithetical to the author's thesis.",
Is that related to the (old) Swedish jet fighter Draken? It has a lovely design, quite iconic.

I think one factor in people quitting their jobs today is the increased savings rate over the pandemic https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/PSAVERT. Many people have saved up so much during the pandemic that they are no longer living paycheck-to-paycheck and are not willing to trade their time for a wage. Maybe this is a short term phenomena and people's saving will go down and they will start living paycheck-to-paycheck again and they will be more willing to to trade their time for wages.
B1062 is the serial number of a particular booster that SpaceX has in its fleet of boosters. So "the same physical thing", as in "we are flying the plane with this particular tail number"
Don't think the russian governments really care, they want to focus on the east like pretty much every power center. Except European leaders that are going herp derp and give that piece of the pie to the US, kind of like how AUS is doing economic suicide that last push needed to slash its neck is China stopping its Iron ore imports.
Wait a minute, C# doesn't compile that long :)
> There's only so many times advertisers are willing to have their brand shown next to child pornography (ie, reddit's former /r/jailbait) or hate speech.

I’m not sure advertisers care about this as much as people claim. YouTube’s censorship really ramped up in 2017 after Trump was elected, and was fairly limited before then. I don’t think they had trouble with advertisers before then all those years. I could be wrong - have any sources that could help?
Soon, Firefox will have a greater version number than Chrome (currently 93).
We need learning certified but not controlled, both in cost and required general learning.

2 year associate degrees from community college are very affordable and cover the general education. Even those going into other work could afford that and their employer could offer assistance if not. If for example, the cost of a 2 year associates degree was $5,000- $10,000. That would make college affordable, but we as a society would have to recognize that as more than it currently is recognized for.

The 4 year degree is meaningless now. It doesn't even translate to a useable skill most the time, but it's become the bare minimum.

Then if certificates of specific skills...say "certificate of statistics" which could just be 3-5 classes on statistics were added for those who could afford it, that would bring down the cost.

The idea of "going to college" and moving on campus is not an economical decision most 20 years old are prepared enough to understand. There appears to be too many people losing from that bet.
Congratulations! You've solved the easiest part.

Now get back to us in 5 years, when you'll have managed to build a comparable audience just by using SEO.

Author Beware however has an extremely long track record of calling out fraudsters. Any author who reads a warning from them would do well to take them over the word of any fraudster.
Yeah, as I said elsewhere this is a reasonable request. I was writing in a moment of passion very late at night. I am supposed to do a variety of "real work" today but I'll see what I can gin up.

The things I listed are "the sky is blue"-type claims to people who do evolution stuff.
You can always run a host yourself and pin it to your own host.

The main reason we chose a host-based architecture instead of a pin based architecture is that we saw on IPFS that having people pin their own data resulted in really poor uptimes, a lot of file rot, and it also substantially reduced scalability and increased fetch times. And after all of those tradeoffs, the vast majority of accessible content on IPFS is hosted via a pinning service anyway.
>Your reply reads like a 'complete agreement' rather than a disagreement

Wrong, there have been a few soft forks already. You seem to not know the history of bitcoin or what makes bitcoin bitcoin. You need to do some studying before discussing this topic.
> Hmm what the relation from cooking gas prices to organic farming?

Organic practices -> Lost productivity per acre + increased costs per acre -> Loss of export profits -> Currency devaluation relative to international currencies (USD, EUR) -> Increasing prices of imports

All of that process is plainly stated in the article.
I had a fantastic experience at college 25+ years ago. I went to a small liberal arts school, learned how to read and think well. I really appreciated that experience.

When I graduated with my degree in philosophy I went on to run a small climbing gym. I was able to jump into software development during the first internet bubble, where start-ups needed warm bodies who can learn quickly. Fortunately, I had scholarships and graduated with minimal debt. So...it all worked out pretty well. I'm not sure it's worth taking on crushing debt for that experience without a guarantee of a job.

That said, not every person is wired to go to college. There are plenty of trades that can foster the some sort of collegial experiences, if you find the right the person to train you. There are very thoughtful craftspeople out there.
Remember when posting the lab leak hypothesis on Facebook would get you banned and now it's, as best as we can figure, the most plausible theory?

Quick tip on moving Canada Geese out of the way without aggressive behaviour (from you or them): lift your arm up just above your head to make an "S" shape and pinch your fingers to make a goose "beak", then move your hand horizontally in a back-and-forth motion. The only threat geese seem to understand is a larger goose and they are "programmed" to back down when encountering a much larger goose (i.e. you). If you are wearing a black long sleeve shirt, the effect is even more apparent, and the geese will run away and bow their heads as a sign of submissive behaviour. You can even make your own "hissing" noise and the geese will scatter very quickly.
Note that this will not work if a nest is being guarded, or if there are goslings. In those cases, it's best to just avoid the geese, if possible.
FWIW, archiving repo2docker-compatible git repos with a DOI attached to a git tag, is possible with JupyterLite:

> JupyterLite is a JupyterLab distribution that runs entirely in the browser built from the ground-up using JupyterLab components and extensions

With JupyterLite, you can build a static archive of a repo2docker-like environment so that the ScholarlyArticle notebook or computer modern latex css, its SoftwareRelease dependencies, and possibly also the Datasets can be run in a browser tab with WASM.

I'd like to see a database benchmark ran instead of a software build.
Yeah, I'm not even sure how that would work? Like, if my department goes with a particular textbook, or a certain number of classes all use textbooks from the same publisher, then sometimes we get discounts on things like solutions manuals or custom editions, but I don't know how a publisher would pay a particular professor for picking their textbook.
Cool, do you have a github repo to star?
I don't understand this part. ProtonMail does not offer a burner address service. Are you referring to the ability to create aliases on a ProtonMail account? If you are, that's possible with most other hosts too.

A proper burner address service would be SimpleLogin or Anonaddy.
You said the proof it is a 'hit job by the media' is because the medication is 'being actually studied right now by Oxford Uni'
It seems to me that content neutral (neutrality? neutralness?) and copyright violations are there in order to build eyeballs and brand. You use them for growth.

Once the size is there, you curate. Profit becomes the issue and the tendency is to simply become cable TV with thousands of channels.

I wonder how you could architect video access for content that gets peoples' knickers in a twist but is still legal. There's loads of single points of failures still. TV settop box access, smart TV/Roku access, the difficulties and expense in storing and serving up video, etc.
I'm going to go out on a limb and say any organization that dedicates resources to fighting "misinformation", in this current political climate, definitely deserves some skepticism and speculation. Are there plenty of falsehoods swirling around online? Absolutely. But keep in mind that "misinformation/disinformation" is increasingly being used in a partisan fashion. Sometimes rightfully so, sometimes as a rhetorical trick.
It appears to have been banned when the author offered an illegal sweepstakes.

Contests and sweepstakes are carefully regulated in America, with slightly different regimes in all 50 states. You should not run one unless you have gotten legal help with it!
So now we're against paying people to be on the front lines of political battles? In that case, someone should put some legislation in place to stop unions from paying their members to participate in politics.
