None of the states listed in the article are major agricultural producers!

You’ll be glad to hear that some of what used to be “fringe” thinking is becoming mainstream.

Cover crops, for example. They have been proven to dramatically reduce pesticide and herbicide needs over time (which will help pollinators greatly). Illinois, Iowa and Indiana have been piloting programs that reduce crop insurance rates for farmers that use cover crops. Once the value was proven, farmer demand exceeded the acreage the pilot programs could offer. So now, for the very first time, the USDA is putting this in place for the entire country (this fall).

There is hope.

Neovim adopted it as its modern scripting language alongside Vimscript. And it now has at least two interesting scripting languages that compile to it, Fennel and Teal. So it's got quite a community of Neovim plugin developers writing Lua and these languages that compile to it.

Well, I love Wim Hof breathing (and it helped me when I had Covid, and helps with HRV and energy levels), and now take Vitamin D, glycine, Zinc, and other stuff that seemed to help me a lot. On top of that, if you've ever dealt with any chronic illness (GERD in my case), you'll find the wealth of anecdotal, n=1 info posted in HN comments is much, much more helpful than anything you'd find anywhere else. I'm sure I'm not alone in this. There are some discussions you could have on reddit, or any other site, but the discussion quality would be 5-10% what it would be here, simply because of the different audience. People here tend to have more life experience, and I'm grateful for the scraps of wisdom that get shared in non-tech conversations here.
> config database would reject

> router would reject it.

Any of these hardware could have bugs, if one of them announces wrongly it will be propagated wrongly by all other ASes peering with them and to the next level so on and on. That is the point, at this level it is possible to fuck up globally.

> peers would be told "add filters so you only accept these ASes from these routers".

There are hundreds of ISPs , all of them peer cannot directly with each other. Routes are propagated downstream and upstream it is a web of networks running on trust.

While filtering is built into most implementations ( sadly not the protocol itself), practically ISPs have no easy way to determine which AS can actually originate which other AS'es traffic, so they don't actually implement a lot of filtering. Remember traffic can have more than 2 hops. Effectively that means you would be routing traffic for AS 3/4 hops away. Neither you nor your peer would know anything about it or whether you can trust it etc.

Even if some ISPs do drop/block the announcements, unless every single AS also implements the block there won't be an impact. Traffic would route through ASes which don't have filtering and announce the routes incorrectly . For example say AT&T blocks an incorrectly announced FB route, but British Telecom does not, BGP is designed to assume that FB has lost peering with AT&T and route all traffic for FB via British telecom.

If filtering was robustly possible we wouldn't have periodic BGP hijacking incidents as we do whether accidental or maliciously. The famous Pakistan Telecom Youtube hijacking [2] or as recently as April-2021 [3] or incidents over the last few years usually authoritative governments (such as China/Russia etc) but with impact well beyond their networks.

> The due diligence process is designed to ensure the last one is ferreted out.

That's the stated purpose, yes, but the author implies the due diligence process is made to be intentionally painful and drawn-out to gain leverage over the acquisition target, and to dig up dirt in the company. At the end of the process, the new leverage and new dirt is used to try to aggressively re-negotiate the deal. Most companies don't cave to this, so most deals don't go through.

Presumably, this guy short circuits the process by just low-balling right off the bat then moving on if they don't accept, which saves both parties time and money.
> Before you said we were talking about society. Society doesn't care about people's hobbies.

Society is built out of people; people are in large part built out of their hobbies as kids. TL;DR: You're wrong.

My kid has had a laptop for school work since he started högstadiet (9th year), and is addicted not to Fortnite but, uh, "CS GO" I think (though on another laptop)... And (despite my occasional attempts to impart some knowledge) he knows fuck-all about what we would consider basic computer usage. TL;DR: You're still wrong.

Blue light carries the most energy, so I imagine filtering it out has the greatest effect compared to those other mitigations.

TechCrunch strikes again!
Have a baseline of competency. Be the person who can talk about things and sound knowledgeable, while also being able some of it, whether or not you can perform at the right level. Figure out how to do the latter very quickly.
No, but they're selling remote wipe to large enterprise customers on worker's device's, spying on workers privacy and selling that info to management, adding DRM to excel spreadsheets - but they just can't figure out how to have multiple customers editing the same document without losing data.
That's not fair. A lot of companies start off not caring about security because they just need to ship and grow. They add security later after they get owned or when they need to take on the type of customer that also genuinely care about security. Maybe they didn't care before and they care now. That's allowed.
On a note related to eye strain, but unrelated to blue light: the best solution I've found for eye strain is to wear reading glasses (or if you are near-sighted, glasses with an additional diopter or two) even if you don't need them. With the correct SPH value, the screen will be at optical infinity and your eyes will be fully relaxed.

Another pro-tip unrelated to the article: if you like to read at night in bed but find LCDs/OLEDs bothersome, I recommend trying red-on-black text. Particularly nice for glasses wearers who are bothered by chromatic aberration.

---

On the subject of this article: does anyone have a translation of the study itself? While I'm not at all surprised that there is no retinal damage, I'm very surprised that they found sleep was unaffected. Blue light does more strongly activate ipGRCs, after all.[0] And that clearly suppresses melatonin.

I'd also like to know if by blue-light blocking lenses the article means the ones that block "high-frequency blue" light (Zenni brands these as "Blokz Blue Blockers") which are probably useless because the violet/UV light they block aren't actually produced by most displays, or if they mean the orange-tinted glasses that obviously cut into blue light.

I wonder if it's a way to decrease brightness while maintaining better visibility.
If you’re lucky enough to live in an area where halfway decent reporting happens then maybe subscribing to the print edition makes sense.

I definitely would if there was actual value to it beyond reprinting AP articles I already read online two days ago because the local Newspaper itself is actually owned by a national media entity and contains maybe a page of news that actually feels locally informative-as was the case living in SmallTown USA.

Now, living in one of the US’ largest cities (Chicago), online community ‘zines’ tend to be more relevant to my block, whereas the city paper is pretty much only good for “the mayor upset a percentage of their constituency, and the Bears are still trying to figure out football”.

Every now and then there will be something truly informative for me as a citizen, but independent local reporting when done well and with care and vigor will always replace a physical paper from the traditional local entity for my consumption habits.

(That said newspaper crosswords are still for completely random and absolutely nonsensical reasons a magically anachronistic experience)
The human eye has quite a lot of chromatic aberration, and if you basically get rid of the blue it makes it a lot easier to focus on distant things.

My vision is perfectly corrected for infinity when I have my glasses on under normal conditions, but at night when my pupils are wide open, I simply cannot focus to infinity at blue wavelengths.

After you read about the Amoy Gardens and SARS1, you will no longer think of it as hyperbolic.

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/16696450/

>Abstract

>Recent investigations into the March 2003 outbreak of SARS in Hong Kong have concluded that environmental factors played an important role in the transmission of the disease. These studies have focused on a particular outbreak event, the rapid spread of SARS throughout Amoy Gardens, a large, private apartment complex. They have demonstrated that, unlike a typical viral outbreak that is spread through person-to-person contact, the SARS virus in this case was spread primarily through the air. High concentrations of viral aerosols in building plumbing were drawn into apartment bathrooms through floor drains. The initial exposures occurred in these bathrooms. The virus-laden air was then transported by prevailing winds to adjacent buildings at Amoy Gardens, where additional exposures occurred. This article reviews the results of the investigations and provides recommendations for maintenance and other measures that building owners can take to help prevent environmental transmission of SARS and other flulike viruses in their buildings.

Just in case you missed it - high resistance connections particularly harm high power applications where the total power loss at the connection is proportional to the resistance multiplied by the current squared.

When you are operating near the threshold for the maximum allowable current draw on a single circuit (nominally 15A in USA), this additional power loss can make your device or product fail certification.

This feature is called self cleaning contacts. It is a well known technique in the connector world. Which this tuber is not a part of.

This comment isn't constructive at all. Keep it on topic and don't blame the messenger.
IIRC there have been court rulings that using someone else's data but in your own structure (e.g. someone else's geo-referenced place named but structured into your own map; or someone else's database of phone numbers but structured into your own phonebook) is perfectly legal, and not a copyright violation.

The decompilation process didn't result in C source code that exactly matches the C source code that Nintendo wrote. (For one thing, the identifier names are different. Probably they use different-but-equivalent control structures in places. Intermediate variables might be introduced that didn't exist in the original.) And as such, that code isn't something Nintendo owns.

This is why the Oracle vs. Google Java lawsuit had to be about header files that were copied verbatim — because Oracle had no grounds to stand on for suing for infringement for the reverse-engineered-and-rewritten implementation code.

(Note that Nintendo could in theory have patented some of the high-level process stuff going on in their code; but that's rare and unlikely enough in litigious America, let alone in Japan.)
Software is becoming less and less of a tech industry and more and more commoditized. Very little innovation in the past 5-10 years. Very few successful companies during that time have come about by having incredibly innovative and novel technology - almost all are simply using run of the mill, commoditized technology to solve business problems that they have large domain knowledge of. Given this, it makes total sense that having detailed esoteric technical knowledge is no longer the path to success in 2021, and ultimately, hacker news has always been predominately about one thing - how to get rich. The best methods have simply shifted over the last 15 years from being a tech genius to being technically-proficient domain knowledge expert

Not really, a court case only deals with the charges the accused would be on trial for. While it's possible that they'd try to pull out another witness like Thordarson to try and claim he has a history of hacking, anything they had actual evidence of him doing would be a new charge.

>You can't have an unfair trial unless you have a trial.

You absolutely can. Prosecutorial misconduct in the pretrial stages can cause there to be an unfair trial before the trial ever begins. Things like the instances of misconduct mentioned in my previous post, which you should condemn and contact your representatives about already.

This is a standard of US law. As an easy example, an improperly acquired warrant can cause an unfair trial causing a case to be thrown out.
