Pretty much everything you hear about "solving" the food supply is going to be lies and misinformation.

The people that know what they are talking about are already in the industry. You are not going to see their opinions because they are busy doing what they can.

The people who actually understand things not politicians, academics, or columnists.
Mostly good comments in here. My take is we have at least 1-2 years of global supply of most grains. This is a completely political problem; its not like we're getting 2012 US Midwest levels of drought in back-to-back years (now THAT would be a crunch).

Food waste is a problem, yes. Animal protein is not a problem. There is plenty of land in the US only suitable for grazing. Much better than that synthetic soup of Impossible Meat.

Food system has largely run on the JIT systems for decades that crunched the chip industry. We haven't had a serious shock I'd argue and I don't think this is one either. People recognize the JIT-ness and fragility of the system though and are (slowly) trying to backstop it. Will take a combination of distributed controlled environments for high value fruits and vegetables, _proper_ land use (high value crop land for crops; high value grazing land for grazing). This, currently, is dictated by the incentive structures in place with subsidies--which can be changed in theory.
That is entirely irrelevant to the point. All the money consumed by EU instutions is taxpayer money. Not a constructive comment.

So you are saying monogamy exists primarily because of jealousy and fear?

I wonder who would enter a relationship build on these foundations?

Can you explain why you think "loosing your partner" is bound to happen when they have sex with other people?

What about them falling in love with a co-worker (no sex required), dying from a car accident one day etc.?

How do you assume these things are less likely than when sex enters the picture?

Your emphasis on sex and what meaning it carries in relationships (particularly successful ones) seems to be be completely disproportionate to reality.

People in open relationships tend to give more assurance to each other.

Jealousy always exists. I can be jealous because my partner goes to her "girls night" and I don't get to spend time with her.

Why would I be more or less jealous than if she had a date that night that involved sex?

Once you think about this for a bit you realize that the choice/reasons for jealousy are mostly arbitrary/cultural and can be overcome. Like any bad habit.

As for access to sex: there are options for men to balance the sheet. Just take up some sort of social dancing; tango, swing, salsa etc. Or sport. Climbing gyms are playgrounds for singles.

And these options also open the door for "having sex with a stranger/recent aquaintance tonight".

If that is so important to you.
You sound like you don't know a lot of farmers then. Most farmers these days inherited their farms, and run it mostly the same way their parents did, with a little input from local AG programs. For the most part, farmers are some of the most conservative, stick with what worked in the past people I've ever met.

Joel Salatin talks a lot of shit about the typical farmer too, and with good reason. The difference there is that he's way more profitable than your average farmer on a per acre basis. He's documented everything he does at Polyface, and others have duplicated his success, yet hyper conservative farmers are still trying to farm the same broke ass way and complaining they can't make a living.
1) Societal stability

2) Most men are not capable of being promiscuous, even if they want to be

Software Engineering bootcamps are probably the best cost/benefits ratio programs that exist. There is a reason why that is, this isn't a walk in the park.

Should you be paid equal to someone coming out of uni? I don't think so, the ramp-up will be hard and longer for the bootcamps guys, but this will change as you gain experience, after 5 years the difference in pay should be negligible if you properly ramp up!
The OP is essentially correct.

I was definitely confused and assumed it was about 'looking like' randomness.

But I did a lot of double clicking of things, because I felt that in 'real life' you're not going to get 1 roll of each number, but odd things happen.

But this is a bit moot - the people clicking 'all the same number' have obviously come to some different conclusion as the others - i.e. 'all possible values are the same' and therefore.

So what the study is really 'testing' probably, is how people react to the question.

They really need to change the question substantially in order to get randomness.

I don't see any insightful aspect in the experiment or the debate.

It's pedantic -> some people read the question differently and do different things.
> Regarding the EU and costs : no-one there cares about cost.

They absolutely do care about stuff where ordinary people can save money, thanks to the EU we got a hard cap on CC fees (0.3%!) and free phone roaming EU-wide, for example.

Providing a basic computer software environment would save a lot of money for the population and especially it would also massively reduce electronic waste and lock-in effects. Windows 11 for example won't run on machines without TPMs enabled [1].

Guess you can say Newton has discovered gravity. Even though he concerned very much the affect or spook force over a large distance.

How? And it was now replaced with field. Hence he is wrong.

Should we say because Newton had the wrong idea and therefore he is not the one discover the gravity.
I snitch-tagged Digital Ocean and other VPS providers involved in the attack, but didn't expect much. They're much bigger than this: what's a big deal for my toy server is barely a blip on their radar.

And realistically, there's only so much they can do about someone running Tor exit nodes / an open proxy on their infra. Everyone in the cloud space has been fighting that off (and miners) for years, it's one arms race among many.

> why not GPT-3?

I can't run GPT-3 locally on my homelab. I also wanted to use GPT-2 _specifically_ because its responses are not totally human. This helps put it in the uncanny valley much like /r/SubredditSimulatorGPT2.

> why do this at all?

Science isn't about "why?". It's about "why not?". Artistic expression like this is much in the same way.
Pasture is not just where animals are held. It is land that grows plants eaten directly from the ground by animals, i.e., grazing. So if pasture land isnt suitable to be crop land, then animals fed by grazing pasture is efficient. And according to my reading of this industry website, nearly half of livestock calories come from this:

https://www.sacredcow.info/blog/qz6pi6cvjowjhxsh4dqg1dogizno...

I think you are talking about fodder i.e., crops grown for animal consumption on land that could be used for crops eaten by people. But the above link says only 8% of livestock calories come from fodder. Another 14% come from grains and other food that could have been eaten by people. But altogether this less than a quarter of the calories livestock consume.

The remaining ~30% of calories feeding livestock come from eating stuff generated by the agricultural industry as human-inedible byproducts, chiefly the crop residue left behind when crops are harvested.

Would great appreciate corrections or clarifications if I’ve misinterpreted the above.

No! Of course not.

But they should _obviously_ be able to dictate which power utility companies used to charge the car. Nobody knows what ampere or frequency non-Tesla electricity comes in. Only Tesla knows how to delivery electricity properly. /s
Golf courses, anyway, have no legitimate reason to continue being allowed unlimited irrigation.

Dual-use agriculture + solar PV farms should get priority for water. PV can seriously cut evaporation and water loss while also providing power for (eventually) desalination or (immediately) to displace fossil fuel use.

By recent report, almond and pomegranate orchards were being irrigated primarily via stolen water. Cutting that off should be high priority.
Hasn't drought in the American west been a constant for at least the past 1500 years? Like, that's the origin story of most of the native groups - "everything died so we traveled through the hellish lands of death until we reached a place with water". Those that lived in the area throughout that time (like my own ancestors) left almost no history for obvious reasons, but it's pretty sure that they lived without most of the trappings of what present-day humans think of as civilization, like fire, clothing, or agriculture.
If have one those, without the 4k screen. No complaints so far, even GPU heavy games like the early versions of Battletech worked fine, battery life under gaming conditions is somewhere between 2 and 4 hours. Non-gaming around 4 to 6 hours. With the Intel GPU deactivated, getting external screens working while the machine was in hybrid mode was too much of a pain. After all I wanted it for the nVidia GPU.

No one forces you to use their product and given Linux and GNU's raison d'etre and success it's hard to imagine any commercial product ever could become a monopoly in devtools.

So after that I'd look at: historically has a venture capital firm ever funded innovation? And I think the answer is yes.

So worst case they have a spyware product you don't need to use. Best case they actually innovate.

I'm cool with letting that play out.

Not that I think this thread on HN or my opinion makes any difference to what these companies do/don't do. :)
Hey You, Yes You, Disable Git Hooks
Currently not hiring (will hire in the coming months again), but I run a small UI/UX design agency where we help B2B software teams design cleaner & more user friendly products [1].

A 4-day workweek is a core part of our culture. It dramatically increased productivity, increased energy levels and reduced overall mental pressure. The way we make it work is to not have everyone be away during the same day.

It’s really surprising that not more companies have 4-day work weeks.

If you’re an employer and you read this, just give it a try. All your concerns are most likely just limiting beliefs.

The limited liability of corporations is not on crime, only on financials claims corresponding to the assets of the company, so that the personal assets of a company owner are not on the line for creditors claims. :-)

Otherwise, managers of a company, could do criminal activities like for example commercialize medical products for one purpose, but that were not medically approved for what they are being sold for and face no time in jail, just financial penalties...No...hold on..wait a minute!!

I have a 2 year and a 5 year old. Screaming tantrums are exceedingly rare, and when they happen it is usually because I have failed as a parent with basic things like forgetting snack time, or they didn't get enough sleep.

The original rationale for Thanos made a lot more sense: he simped for Death, like the concept of death was a woman in the Marvel universe. He thought half the universe's souls would make a perfect offering for her and would impress her enough to make her want to be with him.

Maybe it is the right call from the EU. I don't know honestly.

BUT for a fact it seems the EU is just capable of doing antitrust over fb, google, msft, apple and so on without creating such companies by it self... So maybe over regulated?
Well that echoes my complaint about a big chunk of the left throwing the word "capitalism" around not being really interested in what capitalism is, how it works or having a very moralistic view of what it think it is ("the reign of money", allright, what is money ?)

Most commercial cattle aren't pasture fed, they aren't free ranging it in a field eating whatever they forage. Hobby and small farms, sure, but the operations that raise the most heads the cattle generally spend the bulk of their life standing in a dirt pen (a feedlot) eating from a trough. They're then fed a mix of corn, soy, ruffage (grasses).

Here is an example of a feedlot https://www.bilaterals.org/IMG/jpg/33a3ab67aa6bbe3184c0441d2...

Ask HN: How to Publically Ask for Job Recommendations
I am starting to take seriously finding a new job but don't want to rock the boat at my current place of work unnecessarily.

I am obviously going to be applying directly but I wanted to tell my LinkedIn network that I was at least open to new roles to see if anyone had anything. The problem is if I post anything, it'll be seen by my manager. We're connected on LinkedIn and Twitter so if I post anything overtly about searching, hell know and may cause issues I don't want yet.

Any advice on how to go about this? I don't care if my manager knows I'm unhappy, we've talked about it at length. I'm just not wanting everyone to know I've got one foot out the door in case there isn't anything better at this time.
It speaks directly to the point that "they" decide to waste money and then turn around and get it from the taxpayer. As long as "they" is the EU, they cannot decide to get more money from the taxpayer. If "they" waste it, "they" have to cut it somewhere else in the budget.
IANAL but this is my understanding.

Sites that use "By using this service, you agree to X." do not hold up in court almost at all.

Sites that use "By checking this box, you agree to X." there is some semblance of a binding agreement but there's a lot of wiggle-room in court. User doesn't understand, wasn't made clear, wasn't actually the user, etc. can all be argued.

Sites where you sign your name in some way, shape or form, tend to be treated more fortified - a la Docusign, which employs an extensive set of protections against forgery and cases of misunderstanding. These cases probably couldn't be argued in court on the premise of sort of 'unintentional' agreement like the prior two could be.

This of course extends to written documents.

Unless you're signing NDAs with a checkbox (which would be kind of reckless on the issuer's part), then NDAs hold much more weight in court in most cases as there is very little ambiguity as to whether or not the signee actually meant to sign it.

Some employers are actually far-sighted enough to spend money training their employees.

So e.g. you hire a bunch of fresh graduates who've learned some programming maybe Java and Python, and maybe have other expertise you value (e.g. maybe they're aerospace engineers and you write control software for jet engines) and you spend money hiring somebody capable to stand at the front and teach them how to write C++. It's their job to learn this, so you can do it pretty intensively, e.g. lecture slot / exercises / break / repeat.

C++ is a big sprawling language, but you can make a good start on them in two weeks.

You've presumably worked somewhere with at least some onboarding or spin-up time. Somewhere you weren't employee #1 and responsible for buying your own stationery and cleaning the toilet ? What did you do on day one? Fire training? How to use the CI system? Anti-bribery? Getting your photo taken for an ID badge? Maybe some "easy" first tasks just to learn your way around the systems?

If you have a job where you turn up on day one and are just as productive as a long haul employee, I have terrible news for you - you are the most replaceable person in your organisation and you are going to get fired.

Also have P15 from work and trackpad is terrible. I think it's a P15 thing as my P53 works well.
When my wife and I had our second kid, we moved into a new small (28 indentical homes) housing development (in the US). The builder had owned the land for a long time and bought it for a very low price, so he priced the houses below market value. The school system had recently been highly touted. Everyone who bought a house had a young kid or was about to have kids, valued education, and had similar interests. We all bonded and had great block parties and other shared events as our children grew up. But like you mentioned, these types of experiences are rare.
> its not like we're getting 2012 US Midwest levels of drought in back-to-back years (now THAT would be a crunch).

I got a shiver down my spine just reading that sentence. Please do not tempt fate. We just had the hottest year on record. I expect we'll break that record in the next few years again. Drought is depressingly likely.
Last time I got a new laptop, I simply ordered a Lenovo Thinkpad (X1 Carbon, not Extreme) with Linux pre-installed. I am past where I want to tinker to get the hardware and software working together, but do prefer Linux as my daily driver. I haven't had any issues with it, but I also got a relatively simple setup. I've ordered a Linux pre-installed Dell in the past with similar fine results.
> its not like we're getting 2012 US Midwest levels of drought in back-to-back years (now THAT would be a crunch).

That's very likely in the current climate change scenario. Look at what's happening in the American South West right now. Lake Mead is currently at unprecedented low levels with no evidence that this will change course any time soon. It's possible within a decade there won't be enough water to run the Hoover dam. That's something no one would have taken as a serious risk 10 years ago.
