Portugal is a market economy. A government party can have socialism in its name, that does not mean the government is socialist (like DPRK is not democratic at all).
This is also true for many other countries on the list.

>1 bushel of corn is about 370MJ. 1kg of hydrogen is 142MJ. So 2.3GJ of hydrogen makes 92GJ of corn. That’s about 3%, not 50%.

This was basically my point.

>50% from (FIXED) nitrogen is wrong, though.

Sorry, I wasn't clear. I was saying that 50% of the artificial energy input (i.e. excluding free sunlight to the plants) IS from the nitrogen, rather than farming equipment, transportation, etc.
Or a rich suite of linters religiously applied. Never save a file with red lines in flymake or the equivalent. Ed: actually, I am unsure if my current suite would miss required parameters. I tend to have defaults for all but the first parameter or two, so not a big issue for me I guess.

Depends on zoning laws in the area and how much residents nearby have a say in things.

In the US, there are plenty of cities where neighbors would block a modernist concrete house from being built because it "ruins the neighborhood character". And similarly, lots of neighborhoods are notorious for blocking multi-tenant housing because it's housing for poorer people--they'll rarely say it so blatantly, though.

As a junior, you really shouldn’t be constantly maneuvering around your immediate supervisor up the chain of command.

Either your supervisor is good, and you need to trust them, or they are bad and you are likely SOL. Ultimately an organization who is holding a junior directly responsible for high level project decisions that were made in concert with their supervisor, is a bad organization.
Correct, if you have a passport or other eligible documents that attest your right to work. Your SSN card counts as one of the eligible forms of attesting your right to work but not your ID.

Which is I think what I said. They still need your SSN, just not the card itself.
Are you referring to the mRNA vaccine platform? Could you point me to the mRNA vaccine application that was approved before covid?

MS/github may successfully keep this from gaining popularity through the usual means, but to me this is huge and should be huge.

If the interoperability mechanism is open, maybe gitlab can join it. That might have some decent effect.

3d printing needs this same thing. Or rather than some new federated thingiverse, existing git front-ends in general really only need just a little bit extra and they could support open hardware as well as they currently support software and even better than current hardware design sites. It's really just down to presentation. You can almost do it now in existing github. It has a 3d model renderer that can be embedded in your readme and even a stl diff viewer.

(Though, I consider stl's as compiled output and placed in release assets, not source, so an stl diff viewer essentially doesn't apply. I guess that exposes the problem right there. A code diff viewer is practical because the code itself is directly viewable and meaningful to a human. The source files of most cad and pcb apps is not, so you'd need 100 different renderers of 100 different commercial products to display meaningful diffs)

Depends. Do they have EU citizens in their database? GDPR is an EU law that applies to EU citizens around the world, including the US. If you are a non-EU citizen, you can't claim GDPR of course. If you are an EU citizen, you can claim GDPR regardless of the residence of the company AFAIK.

Enforcement of GDPR is a different matter. I am not sure whom I'd complain to, other than my representative in the European parliament. I could probably sue them though, if I found my data there and they refused to comply with my GDPR request.
Probably it's buried in a ticket deep in the feature requests lists and has zero potential revenue impact (or negative) so it isn't prioritized.

About 10 years ago, I taught myself web programming by writing https://dirtywalls.com which is still up and which occasionally I still see used by a handful of the folks I shared it with back then. Same basic idea: pseudonymous message boards attached to real-world locations, where you must be within a certain proximity to read or post.

The concept at the time was "4chan meets foursquare." and the inspiration was rediscovering some graffiti in a bar bathroom that years before had particularly tickled some friends and I. For awhile, I added new locations as I traveled extensively for work, so there are hidden little message boards around NYC, SF, China, Seattle, Europe...
My main worry with this sort of thing, is that if we start mandating legal liability, and security becomes a compliance line-item, then companies are going to start locking down everything they ship so they have a legal defense in court. The argument's going to be, "if we are liable for shipping insecure desktops then you shouldn't be allowed to install Linux onto them and then sue us when you get hacked".

Think about how many laptops ship with Wi-Fi whitelists with the excuse of "FCC certification". It doesn't matter that the FCC doesn't actually prohibit users from swapping out Wi-Fi cards; manufacturers will do it anyway.
No way. The letters/writing look exactly like mirrored GAN output. That's not what would happen with blur or stitching together (there would be no mirroring symmetry or all the '8' letters), or with synthetic 'machine teaching' datapoints either (as far as I've ever seen). Look at the cat StyleGAN sometime if you don't know what I'm talking about.

Which leaves me wonder what the point is. If you are generating GAN images per CIFAR or ImageNet class, you know what the label is and don't need to label it. Perhaps they just generate lots of images to fill up the pipeline for the CAPTCHAs, to avoid reuse which could be exploited by spammers, when they have too little paying work?

> They have the option

That option is to lose their slot, if they lose their slots, they will probably lose an entire hub on their network that they can not regain.

It's not like you can just buy these slots back. In fact, slots are valuable for the simple reason that they can not be bought and sold. (unless airlines consolidate, and even then these transactions are heavily scrutinized)

You're basically saying it is better for them to tank their business so another airline can steal the slots from them.

And do you know what the competition will do? They will keep that slot at all cost regardless of whether their planes are full or not, because this is how airlines maintain their network.

Please consider familiarizing yourself with airline network operations before speaking authoritatively on the subject.

To generate a list/dictionary/geneator from an input iterable, you use a comprehension of the appropriate type.

To iterate through it without doing one of those things, you use a for loop.

I used to listen to Libertarian talk shows back in the day. Those people thought all laws, regulation, and taxation were violence (they only work because government will point a gun at you and throw you in prison). They're not exactly wrong, but I no longer find the argument very persuasive.

Indeed, and it points to why there are multiple languages, because features that eliminate one class of mistakes can make it harder to eliminate another class. For instance, a mistake might be a spelling error in an identifier, or it might be a program that does completely the wrong thing because it was too hard to read, or that does nothing because it took too long to write.
> you're never going to be cost competitive at a smaller scale for corn/soy, but you have to accept the market price, which leaves a razor thin margin (if any at all).

You don't really need to be able to compete if you aren't looking for a massive exit, though. My ~150 acres (most of it rented, no less) of corn/soy/wheat provides enough for me to live off of comfortably enough. For about a month's work a year, that's wonderful in my mind.

It seems you're just getting caught up in the capital building frenzy that I talked about earlier. If you want to have the huge payday when you sell then you take on huge debt, grow to massive scale, use all of your income to service the debt and then you're sitting on a fortune at retirement. This is what attracts most people to farming, seemingly you included, which is fair.

If you are content to stay small you can avoid the debt and what the big guy is giving to the bank you can pocket and live well off of. That's where I've settled and it works fine. I won't have the huge payday later, however. It's a tradeoff.

I love the idea that Hackers is actually self-aware, but I think it’s more of a ‘The Room’ situation; where retroactively we can view it as a comedy and find some appreciation for an otherwise almost inexcusably awful piece of film.

But as a guy who draws, it feels like unnatural when it over-extends.

Either way good luck !
From my experience with the Snap Store on Ubuntu, it is always terrible.

- Most software is stuck on an older version and lags behind the latest release.

- Sometimes software hangs when installing. Gets stuck on 95% and stays that way, with no way to get it fully installed.

- Some of the comments on software are un-moderated and you read people trying to push a political agenda saying things like 'This software is Marxist because it's free'

- The Software Center is buggy as hell and constant error messages popup when trying to install software. (Yes I've done the update/upgrade ritual before installing anything).

- Most software is lacking screenshots. I like to see what the UI looks like before I install.

- I often encounter the software I want flashing for three seconds on the screen, and then disappearing for no reason. The search functionality is broken.

When they're veiled bomb threats against schools, yes. That gets media and regulatory attention that kills the brand - again, as YikYak quickly found out.

Again, the idea that keyword filters can handle this is silly. It was silly a decade ago. The big social networks have invested enormous time, money, and effort into increasingly sophisticated AI... and the result is people still get incorrectly and absurdly flagged for innocuous posts while clearly offending ones slip through.

Yep, and GBA uses the DMG/GBC's Z80 for extra audio capabilities. Unfortunately Nintendo gutted the Z80 except for audio in the DS. If they had left the full Z80 it would have allowed the DS to play DMG/GBC games we could have a handheld (n3DS) that could natively play every Nintendo handheld game ever made.

The n3DS is still a dreamy piece of hardware.
