What about chirality? I mean this in several ways. First we are not doing atomic assembly or molecular kitchen here.

Which means the atoms of single nutrients transform into molecules by biochemical processes.

Second, those structures are involved further into transporting nutrients around the plant during growth.

Third, the structure of the soil with a healthy network of fungi and soil seems to be important. Or at least that is the way plants have evolved, even if it seems chaotic and inefficient (like photosynthesis).

Fourth, with wine people speaking of the Terroir, which determines the complex interactions of soil, geography, temperature, sunshine, weather and whatnot else to produce that one specific taste. Why wouldn't the same be true for other plants and products thereof?

Fifth, if it would be sufficient to give them just the 18 common nutrients, light, water and heat they need, why can't we have them massproduced in the most efficient way in growhouses via (say) Aeroponics, where their roots are in no growth medium at all anymore, just sprayed with a fine mist which contains all the necessary nutrients?

Sixth, science is the process of understanding what happens by modelling, until further evidence necessitates revising of the model.

If one does not completely understand how the interactions between https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhizosphere & https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mycorrhiza contribute to taste and nutritional value of the harvest,
pointing to big-AG instead, that isn't scientific either, only dumb commerce.

Seventh, I'm not saying I know it, or others do, it's just that we all don't really know so far. While you pretend to.

Do you really think all the posters in this thread complaining about taste are suffering from some placebo/nocebo effect? Dancing their names under the full moon, or what?

Man, you are so killing my nerves!
You do realize actual patients got completely wrong results on their blood tests, thereby potentially jeopardizing their ongoing treatment for pretty serious conditions? How is it a "non-violet" crime when we're talking about potentially killing patients due to fraud?
Some people on Animal Cross for the Nintendo DS were able to mod their towns like crazy, then some people had cheats and kept them to themselves, I was determined to figure out how they did it.
Like many here I want to dig the spirit of this but I am confused about the concrete steps / tools they're describing.

It always seemed to me like ultimately the problem with getting free of the big web would be the physical infrastructure side of the equation.

The modern web does feel controlled by information age rentiers but growing up in the 90s that always felt like an unavoidable given to me.

I was under the impression that the freedom of the web lay in the freedom of information and the subsequent empowerment of individuals to maneuver through and undermine larger systems of power.

Google "federal sentence table". The "no criminal history" thing is directly expressed on the chart (she'll be sentenced from the first column); each cell in the table is a range of months, and the first-time mother thing might get her the lower end of that range. The crimes she's convicted of are so severely sentenced that it's hard to see her not getting double digit years.

With all the charges grouped, including the conspiracy charge, we'd be looking at an offense level around 35 --- 168 to 210 months.
The article you linked was extremely short on details and mechanisms

In the paper that the article links about mutations in an HIV patient (https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2021.06.03.21258228v...)

There is a figure 1 and the left side (A) which shows a maximum-likelihood phylogenetic tree. If you examine this tree, you can see that the highlighted piece is based off a recent (to the HIV patient's case) variant.

On the other hand, the linked article (https://bprice.substack.com/p/lab-leak-20) has a tweet by Jonatan Pallesen showing a tree for Omicron. This tree shows that Omicron is based off of a variant from a surpringly long time ago. This alone is bizarre.

That combined with the lack of silent mutations is extremely suspicious. I'm not saying this is concrete evidence or anything, but its very strange and doesn't appear to line up with a natural course of evolution
Probably for the best back in populations of close to 0 community incidence, low acquired immunity, and prior to the vaccines being available. Better to have a few hundred (few thousand?) people incorrectly spend time in quarantine, than to have community spread results in people/businesses being locked down.
I agree the application should not have done this.
On the other hand I also agree indefinite block time is not a useful definition despite being correct in theory, perhaps a more pragmatic one would be some time / compute unit percentile? So a consistent 100ms close call which is proven to be a bug won't get lost in definition.
There were actors you'd recognize the names of, but not sure they would qualify as A-list (at least at the time it was recorded). I'm just not able to recall who they were. That was 15-ish years ago, and it was only a story told over a lunch. Not something that made it to long term memory.
> oatmeal and fruit

Hate to break it to you but fruit is not far removed from sugar. Oatmeal is further but it's still carbs.
Not what I said. I said Nukes. There is a huge difference. Nukes can only be used to blow up stuff. But the other things, while they can be used to do harm, their capacity to harm is orders of magnitude lower than the capacity of a Nuke, and, at the same time they have very practical uses that we depend on. So I can assume you will likely use a knife to cut bread or a gun in self defense, but I can't think of a common peaceful or legit use of Nuke.
But people are already gaming the system, and on any search from product reviews to code snippets, I see SEO-optimized spams populating the top results. Good content creator don't have the time or the technical inclination to reverse-engineer the ranking algorithm (or to brute-force by creating tens of thousands of sites and see what sticks in a giant multivariate test).

Knowing the actual rules might give them a fighting chance, since the bad guys already know these rules anyway.
For this to appeal to an average person I think youd need some $20 device that works out of the box as a server.

Connects to your wifi like your smart tv does, and then does some black magic to get around the NAT issue to register a subdomain that you can use.

The device provides a facebook or twitter like UI to set up your site.

Even then Im not sure how you'll get people off social media onto this as it is still less convenient unfortunately.
Show HN: Choose which search engine(s) you want every time you open a tab
For some context, this browser extension allows you to search different/multiple search engines every time you open a tab by clicking on which ones you want to search and then typing the query you want to search on all of them. I constantly found myself needing to switch between search engines/websites to get the best results for a subject or find what I needed to look for in a store. I think SEO is partly to blame for these inconsistently bad results across engines. As a result, I typically went from Google to DDG to blog post to X thing I needed. I could have just found the X thing I needed if I just went straight to the source. Unfortunately, I cant just add BestBuy or Wikipedia as my default search engine, I can't search both at the same time, and I don't need them to be my default search engine every time. I spent a few hours making it about a year ago when I was in HS but then decided to overhaul it not too long ago and make it something I could use daily. It is the first project I have made and open sourced, so don't grill me too hard. Any contributions would be appreciated.
as I recall several Canadian journalists wrote books on it. It was also extensively covered in the western provinces' newspapers and national papers (the globe and mail, etc) at the time.

Why does your having different priorities mean that she got bad advice? It sounds like you're at different life stages and have different risk tolerances. That's natural and doesn't make either person wrong.

Elizabeth Holmes found guilty of defrauding investors
Adding one more clarification in case someone reads this text wall:

The "requests" I made was rather harsh, e.g. it might be impossible to check nextstrains's sequencing sources, if this is a real manuscript revision. I honestly probably won't question as harsh if it's a writting for a different topic.

However, given that the author is trying to illustrate a not-very-likely scenario, which being, not only that there's a major lab leak, but also someone has engineered a not yet fully understood non-trivial virus genome to alter its function as desired (note that COVID doesn't have a well established animal model. It would be hard to test a engineered virus even if it exists. In this case, would you assume that it's continuous lab "leak" and only the omicron strain was a success? And if yes, how could all other strains went undetected at all in the past 2 years?), I think scrutiny is justified and should be expected. It is against several odds and you really need some strong evidences to rule out other possibilities.
Nah, 'intentional destruction' just doesn't have a very positive connotation

I didn't talk about restaurants/cafeterias, I mentioned diners and street vendors for a reason. Specifically these places feature solo cooks who cook complete dishes to order within a few minutes by using a griddle or wok. The only significant amount of time required here is the chopping of the raw ingredients, which they do beforehand so the customers can get their orders in 5 minutes. At home that might take up to 20 minutes, depending how much you need to chop. There are plenty of different dishes you can cook like this.

Of course there are also plenty of other dishes that require a longer time to cook, but that's beside the point. The original comment was complaining that it takes "7 hours a day" and causes burnout to prepare a variety of meals that aren't packed with sugar. This is an absurd statement that at best adds nothing to the conversation and at worst discourages people from attempting to develop simple, healthy eating habits.
I claimed that it's not new to American Law, citing the text of the US Constitution as evidence. I kind of don't know what it is that you're trying to argue; I think it doesn't have anything to do with what I'm saying.
And.... it turns out that fat is totally harmless. Saturated fat, anyway. What we were blaming on regular fat turns out to have been caused by sugar and trans-fat. Trans fat, or hydrogenated fat, was finally (almost!) banned in the US in 2017. (Although you can still buy Crisco!) Trans fat was invented in the 19th century as a way to get people eating cottonseed oil margarine. When fat got blamed for what sugar was doing, they pretended hydrogenated cottonseed oil, and later other hydrogenated oils, were not at fault.

Even people who have learned that sugar is poison often still believe there is something wrong with fat.

Eggs have plenty of cholesterol. But there is nothing wrong with dietary cholesterol. Your liver makes it for you all day long. Blood cholesterol measurements are about markers for circulatory disease that is not caused by cholesterol.
> aggressively cancelling shows

Ha, that is so true. Netflix is infamous for this. It’s to the extent that I cannot start watching a Netflix production unless I know it’s finished or if it’s a big hit from day one (so I know it won’t be cancelled, like The Witcher). It’s odd, because Netflix’s reputation for prematurely cancelling content without resolving their endings has extended to beyond just youth-dominated social media. For example, my parents of all people who cannot use a computer nor the internet, don’t like investing in new Netflix content because they’ve been burned too many times from incomplete series. That’s just like me. It’s sad because Netflix dared to create decent and interesting content, but now it would be hard to escape their infamy.
Whether or not it’s “abstraction” really depends on who hears it. I don’t think it’s cool but maybe in a slightly more fuzzy area as to if it’s a lie.

Surely there would be a contract with the military if that was the claim and surely these investors did due diligence and audited the contracts, nobody would ever get wrapped up in the hysteria and hype and burn a billion dollars…
The CPU cycles are being used mostly by the Synaptics touchpad driver, Microsoft Telemetry, and Microsoft Defender. However, I will say that I was mostly looking at my CPU usage right after starting up Windows - after I gave it some time to settle down, it did indeed drop to 3%-5% CPU used - so, I was mistaken!

For me, I'm not looking for happiness at work. I look for meaningfulness. Contribution. Participation in society. Challenges. I'm not so sure I'm 100% into logotherapy, or if it is just the Protestant work ethic, but I can't spend all day chit-chatting like some of the other workers because that is not what my life is about.
to be honest, high level semiconductor lithography would be similar to manhattan project complexity. It could be done, but there's a reason nobody but ASML makes these.
What if everyone who knows how already works for ASML? Then starting up a competing corporation and sniping talent would actually slow down recovery. I'm sure the cost-benefit-analysis has already been done.

Once they are below the frost line, and levelled, there should not be any need to re-level them. For a small structure, lay in 4x4 beams, then build a simple frame over top of that and you'll be golden.
Too many redundancies and buffers have been removed in the last 20 years chasing "just in time" and "lean" and other various ways of outsourcing your responsibilities for input materiel to improve (local) efficiency. The system became more fragile, and then a large shock occurred.

And yet it’s still a waste of time. What we call nuclear waste is simply fuel for a type of reactor that we haven’t built yet. We could keep extracting energy from it until it’s not radioactive any more.

What part of my comment implies that I didn't read "I'm not saying you can't get pains from a keyboard"? Answer: none of it. Perhaps you should read more carefully yourself before accusing others of not doing so.

> the author isn't positioning himself as a dogmatist using the mouse

I never said that he did.

> He is calling Unix users who don't use the mouse dogmatists

He is not. The actual article reads:

"It seems as though an irrational fear of the mouse dominates amongst Un*x dogmatists".

This observation also isn't relevant to my comment, so I'm not sure why you're bringing it up.

My point stands - you absolutely are a rebel among Unix-users to use the mouse.

Your mocking statements like "Hahaha, like you are some sort of brave free-thinker for using the mouse!" don't do anything to improve your arguments that are mostly lacking in support.
Dell and Oracle, etc
The issue is their content is actually a very poor point in differentiation. I watch a larger amount of TV than I'd care to admit, and honestly Netflix is awful for content.

- Disney has Star Wars, Marvel, Pixar, and a long tail of childhood classic films.
- HBO has Warner Brothers, DC, Cartoon Network (including a nostalgia back catalog), the best TV shows made in the 00s, and a long tail of adult films.
- Netflix's largest successes in the last two years are Tiger King, Squid Game, The Witcher, and a long tail of shows cancelled after Season 1 and short-run miniseries.

At this point, Netflix is a last-resort source of entertainment for me, even after (ad-riddled) YouTube. I mostly only use it to watch their weird reality shows (Blown Away, Sugar Rush) and check out shows friends recommend. I suspect even Paramount+ has a larger selection of TV shows I'd like to watch compared to Netflix.
I could go on, linking to abundant examples of CBC savaging all parties but I’ll sum up your take with one summarizing word: bullshit.
And the reason not all of these spread fast is obviously that one mutation (or combination) impacts the spread rate more than the 30+other mutations in isolation...
Although after enough conversations I've found this too needs spelling out in plain English...
Of course prior host immunity drives immune escape, but this isn't isolated to vaccination and is expected with natural immunity as well. New variants are impossible to stop.
> It would be a real coincidence of the Disney-fueled Mickey Mouse copyright extensions got it exactly right.

There have only been two copyright term extensions in the US that have affected Mickey Mouse, and only one of them could even remotely be called "Disney-fueled".

The Copyright Act of 1976 changed the term from two 28-year term to one 75 year term. The Copyright Extension Act of 1988 added 20 years to that.

The second one is that one that might be called "Disney-fueled".

The 1976 Act was probably supported by Disney but that didn't matter. It had widespread support and very little opposition. This was because it was widely believed that the 1909 Act was very outdated and needed a major overhaul, and that as part of that overhaul the US should align itself better with how copyright worked in most of the rest of the world. The term changes were part of this effort to align with the rest of the world and pave the way for the US to join the Berne Convention.

AWS has a free tier that lasts for a year. I actually used it to get hands-on experience with enough services that I was able to get my AWS Certified Solutions Architect, Cloud Practitioner and Certified Developer certifications. I easily spent 60 hours creating and deleting services and it didn't cost me a cent.

I don't even know how you'd accidentally get to thousands of dollars accidentally unless you were doing something more complicated like setting up an autoscaling group.

Spin up a t3a.micro EC2 instance and run it as much as you like - it's free. If you go into it (as I did many years ago) thinking, "Let me just spin up a 16 core server with 128 GB of RAM" because that's what you'd set up in your on-prem data center then of course you're going to have a big bill.

But that's not what cloud is about. It's about resources popping in and out of existence for the minimal time and resources needed to accomplish a task.
Yet, it causes fatty-liver disease, also called metabolic disorder, on its own. And, the secondary effects -- heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure -- are products of liver disease, not weight gain.

You have one of the most wonderful looking blogs I’ve ever seen!
Not exactly how it works. There are lot of brilliant people working on lot of good stuff, very few get funding to do meaningful work. The job of someone like Holmes is to bring that funding.

Holmes was an agent to energize the industry in the sense that she was instrument to attracting a lot of new VC investors willing to throw money and experiment with new tech like this . I doubt she personally claimed to have invented anything new, even had Theranos succeeded her claim to fame would be only building the organization that enabled such innovation and not the innovation itself.

Even though Theranos failed as firm, a lot of smart people got funding to work on interesting projects while there and potentially either developed or started developing products because of holmes being able keep them and Theranos funded. A lot of new people are getting funding, because Theranos and Holmes opened this industry to VC funding when it was not traditionally so.

To your example, if you falsely claim to invent a warp drive, raise a lot of money, hire a lot of smart people who do interesting work while working for you, eventually fail as company and those people go on to build parts of the drive partly with experience they gained in your research. This kind of research was not well funded before you, Likely without you this would have never been a VC funded industry don't you have some hand in that ?
