This is like with handicraft vs. mass produced items.

It's trivial to make worse handicraft than mass produce, but handicraft makers realize that if they charge N times more they've got to add at least some value. They also focus in areas where it's possible to add value (no handicraft Android phones or Lego bricks).

So when you actually buy some handicraft item/organic food, it is usually different/better quality, not because this is inherent property of the production process, but because the price has to be justified.
I agree. But there are alot of posts in society that need to be manned. I don't see how that is solvable if you can't contact off duty workers.

Even if you have buffer extra on-duty workers you hit the long tail at some point. And I don't see how there could be standby extras for more unique posts.

I'll second the plausible suggestion that perhaps the name/marketing copy combo isn't as unpredictable as you might think. Corporate speak and company names are pretty formulaic. Try running the name and <article> through GPT-3 and see what happens (or GPT-2 here: https://bellard.org/textsynth/)

E.g., I just prompted GPT-2 with a made up company name that doesn't have any google search results and got a completion like this:

Does it have to scale? How much food do you need to eat?

100 years ago, 90% of people were spending 2500 hours a year in the actual fields that produced the food they ate. It hardly seems ridiculous that 90% of people could spend, say, 5 or 10 hours a year visiting farms they want to eat food from. That's probably less time than you spend putting gas in your car.
> Stop shaming kids for screen time and video games.

That's a preference for action, not an (even debatable) truth.

That's at least potentially a truth, but not all that controversial.
I entirely believe this but would add a couple of cautions.

One is that it likely goes both directions: there are likely stressors increased by both conventional and organic production (presumably different ones) Plant health is tied pretty closely with local ecology health and there is a lot of symbiosis going on.

Second is that you are not a weed or an insect or a fungus. Some plant defenses are quite enjoyed by humans (lots of drugs, caffeine, capsaicin, the flavors of most herbs).

It is the kind of thing where you can’t make a blanket generalization. You need specifics and weighed risks. An interesting opening theory but definitely not enough to base life choices on.
I've heard it argued that part of the problem with unvaccinated people is they take up hospital space making it less likely that others are able to receive important care. Does this not apply to obese people?

I'm not expressing an opinion on this matter, only pointing out that some arguments used against the unvaccinated also apply to obese people.

Maybe now, but when Kid A was recorded hardware was a little more limited. So you'd spend a lot more time hunting for what sounded like good samples than you would ingest everything and see what sounded good.

These days it's pretty trivial to do the digital equivalent of "jamming with your band mates" when it comes to sampling but in the 90s you had to develop an ear for it because the process of capturing a sample through to cuing it in your tracker was longer and a lot more painful than what we take for granted now. And you often had to create all of your own samples, there weren't web sites you could download these things from like there are today. Even percussion needed to be sampled if you weren't lucky enough to own a drum machine.

One of the reasons I got into circuit bending in the latter end of my exploration in music was because I craved that instantaneousness with electronic music that I had when jamming with my guitar.

As for Kanye, I don't pretend to be an authority on his music but the few tracks of his I have heard haven't exactly been imaginative when it comes to sampling. He has taken tracks that were already good, taken the main riff from them and looped that. So I'd argue the creativity in his music is the lyrical content rather than his use of samples. Whereas you compare him to Daft Punk, Fatboy Slim or Prodigy and you can see that lyrical content is less important but the sampling is really creative, to the extent that the samples they've used are often unrecognisable from their original source.

edit: There's a YouTube video of Norman Cook (aka Fatboy Slim) talking about sampling using his Atari ST and how he'd hunt records for good sounding samples.

Anecdotally, every person I know to have a circumcision performed on them had it because "it was normal" in the society, not for any religious belief. Not wanting to stand out is a good enough reason for many. In some places an uncircumcised penis is (was?) considered "gross" or "abnormal" and many parents just want to avoid that for their child.
No, I'm saying that the US also committed human rights abuses, so it's not very useful to look at human rights abuses as a measure of who's more evil. You have two tools, both run on linux and windows, so portability is not a useful measure of which tool is better, remove it from both sides of the equation and look at what's left.

If you remove human rights abuses from the side of Taliban, you get a bunch of people defending their home lands. If you remove human rights abuses from the side of USA, you get an empire willing to violate the sovereignty of an entire nation because it's government didn't cooperate enough with them in chasing down one outlaw. Compare those two and decide who's more at fault in the war.

Applying the same procedure to the case of the Arab-Israeli conflict is left as an exercise for the reader.
Yet another in a long line of articles that denies via omission the existence of any European culture prior to the Victorian era, and entirely ignores eastern Europe and Slavic people.

It should be plainly obvious that mothers needed to carry their babies in Europe just as anywhere else, and that they probably didn't use baby strollers since the paleolithic. A quick search confirms this:

Such a tradition of babywearing in Europe continued through the early and middle ages [..] In 1733, William Kent invented the first baby stroller. The stroller was initially reserved only for the highest social strata - https://love2carry.com/history-of-babywearing-in-europe-%E2%...

But the use of carriers in Western societies fell out of style beginning in Victorian-era Europe when baby carriages became fashionable. - https://www.sapiens.org/culture/babywearing-culture-mainstre...

How to understand this piece from a motivational point of view? One can hardly consider this anything more than an exercise in state-sponsored propaganda (dw is state financed) and disinformation.

There is no point of inventing the wheel for this now model of modern media. T. Sowell identified the pattern (framework) of how elites (anointed) operate. There is not attempt to use facts to make a decision about reality, facts are only valid as far as they support decisions already made. Those who support the anointed in their quest of forcing their model of reality onto public (to validate their own view of themselves in the world) are given special state of grace (given voice, prestige, and some money).

* This is not an argument for/against modular n.r. -- that is far more complex issue, and touches on IAEA rules, lost knowledge from the major players in the sector of technology, etc. This is just an observation on the "news" piece itself.
Since then we've learned two things.

The first is that inflation isn't the demon it was historically made out to be. Hyperinflation is bad, but some stable and predictable <10% annual rate of inflation mainly hurts people hoarding cash, which is a dumb thing to do in general. But if you have a moderate rate of inflation and just stop accumulating new debt during a boom, the old debt gets devalued over time, and then it's always "better" to only pay the interest now and pay the principal tomorrow (i.e. never).

The second, specific to the US at this particular point in history, is that the dollar is such a strong reserve currency that the government can create trillions of dollars out of nothing and still not get hyperinflation. The risk of this is that you go too far and people stop using it as the reserve currency, but apparently that risk isn't worth the trillions of dollars in "free money" you get by discounting it.

If you use Facebook the old fashioned way (an actual network of friends) it's probably very pleasant. If you start joining "Groups" which are similar to subreddits, it's the most toxic thing I've seen. I never really was a real Facebook user with a network in the first place, but one day on a whim I went to the FB site where I still had my account and decided to join some random suggested groups. That's where it becomes toxic. Everything becomes incendiary things about the US president and usually further devolves into trolls saying openly racist things, there's no moderation and it's a real cesspool. And I'm talking about groups dedicated to hobbies and cartoons.

Yes. I am passionate about a sport. I manly follow that sports' athletes on Instagram. I take a look daily while on the toilet or idle and get tired of it after some minutes. The same goes for Reddit, I just follow a couple of niche subs and enjoy using both platforms. No politics and no "serious" topics.
At least in the US there are ~75 USDA accredited certifying agents [1] and my understanding is that some of them are perceived as being more stringent about cracking down on fraud. For example, I've got friends who will only pay extra for organic if it's explicitly Oregon Tilth because they no longer trust a generic USDA Organic label.

I'm also curious if label fraud is any more common with organic certification compared to other food labels.

For example I recall articles about a study that found 20% of fish was deliberately mislabeled: "Cheaper, less desirable fish were often sold in the name of more popular fish. Particularly concerning was the report's finding that some substitutes were fish that contain higher mercury levels or come from less sustainable fisheries."[2]

More generically, "economically motivated adulteration" is estimated[3] to impact 1% of the global food industry with examples given such as sweeteners, oils, seafood, juice, and spices.

While it's a challenge to defend the actions of the US Government, there are some major differences between a state actor committing aggression and acts of terrorism.

Can you think of a few?

(Terrorists intentionally bomb a civilian building with a day care containing children in it)

State actors: Declares war by ~committee, funds war by acts of Congress, continues to reauthorize war with acts of Congress, operates one or more hierarchical organizations that screen for mental illness and unfortunately brutally teach compliance with authority instead of creative problem solving, must comply with international (human rights) laws for treatment of humans including prisoners of war during declared wartime, (Edit) include Ear Protection

Terrorists: The US was not considered a state actor in fighting for independence.

And Peacekeepers? Nonviolence is not a normal human response: Peacekeepers train to hold the line without firing, and to deescalate tensions in order to find Peace

There is one important practical criterion, which is whether you can change what some instructions do, without redesigning the layout of the CPU.

Both ROMs and PLAs have a regular array structure, where you can change the stored bits with some minor changes in one of the masks, without having to make any changes in the layout of the CPU.

So the most useful definition of whether an instruction is micro-programmed or hard-wired is whether the method of changing what it does is by changing just the values of some bits in a table or by redesigning some CPU part.

This is the right definition from the point of view of the CPU designer.

Application programmers tend to partition the instructions of the modern CPUs in hard-wired and micro-programmed based on whether they execute in a single clock cycle or in multiple clock cycles, but in old CPUs it was quite frequent to have hard-wired instructions that executed in multiple cycles. Modern CPUs have much more available resources, so now it is normal for any hard-wired instruction to also be a single-cycle instruction, but there is no logical necessity for this.

An extra complication in many modern CPUs is that even if most instructions are usually hard-wired, there are also means to intercept the decoding for any opcode and replace the hard-wired operation with a micro-program, in order to be able to correct any dangerous bugs.

> I feel that those that actively participate (commenting, posting, responding, reacting) are more affected and more caught in the feedback loop. Those that more or less passively read these platforms, rarely interact, and largely work to keep "perspective" seem to have less of a tough time on it and allow it to impact their outlooks and moods less.

I agree, and I also think it matters what you read. If you're constantly reading political punditry, vapid clickbait stuff that constantly reminds you that there's somebody richer and more beautiful than you, etc., consumption alone is detrimental.
I am not on social media (I tried it for a year, then quit), and sometimes I find it weird why people treat it like a big goliath dystopian thing which will consume your entire life if you aren't careful.

It's not impossible, or even that difficult to leave (or not join) in the first place. You won't have convulsions/palpitations/stuff you get when you try to quit the genuinely addictive stuff. For sure it's a lot more convenient if you want to chat with people or see what they're up to, but life is not impossible without it. In fact passively quitting has made my life a lot easier; my time isn't wasted watching ads.

I wish people didn't put social media on such a villain-pedestal it doesn't deserve. I think that's one of the problems why people don't quit: avoiding personal responsibility into something that's said to be difficult.
Seriously. Do people forget the rhetoric around Mandela and the ANC during apartheid South Africa?

It certainly depends on the university/school. I saw the writing on the wall in 2010 and left a nine year career in the university behind. The focus was to "get asses in seats" (the president's words, not mine). Then on top of that certain segments of the faculty had become intolerant of certain student groups and would frequently punish students for their world views, even those that are now classified in higher intersectional categories. Yes this is all anecdotal, but we're seeing it play out with our own eyes in public now. I give to my alma mater but less so than to charities and institutions of which have missions that are clearly and plainly defined. I don't think the entire university model is corrupt or broken but we have to be careful.
I have received anonymous security notices that suggest we should send money to the "researcher" who wishes to remain anonymous. While I appreciate receiving information on security vulnerabilities, if the person who contacts me remains anonymous then I consider their communication to be a threat and extortion.

If anyone wishes to report a security vulnerability in good faith, and they hope for remuneration of any sort, then they need to identify themselves unambiguously.
