Nutritional decline of actual fruit and vegetables or the nutritional decline of food as is consumed by humans?

I'm not sure where you got your numbers from, but as the owner and operator of multiple EV's and a powerwall, they sound way off to me.

But beyond that, there are big distinctions left out of your theory: for instance, that the F150 is selling for 130-145k unless you happen to be friends with a ford dealer, and that the powerwall's value is primarily derived from grid peak time cost savings, not just emergency backup.

Unless you plan to charge and discharge your car's battery daily, by, i suppose manually flicking your main breaker over (is that even legal?) you will not see that value returned with your truck.

This may be progress, but I don't see how it eliminates the "paradox". The claim in the "paradox" answer is that when you switch envelopes, "A" is not one of the possible outcomes. If "A" isn't a possible outcome then it shouldn't show up in the expectation value.
Structurally, in modern society, it is becoming increasingly difficult to thrive without a smartphone on either iOS or Android.

You can exist, but it's a much higher burden than most going through life even with the cheapest Android smartphone. (Luckily there ARE lots of fairly cheap options)

I wouldn't call it as foundational as water, power, heating, fire protection, or healthcare...but the analogy to phoneline connectivity becomes more and more appropriate.

This is not the fault of Apple or Google, but it is a reality. Arguably they don't actually want it because what comes next will not be favourable to them. If mobile OS access is as required as a phone line in the modern world, then you can't treat them like Shopping Malls, but rather Bridges across a river that divides a town. You don't want private companies deciding on the tolls and policies for crossing that bridge.

We either shift more towards the open web as you suggested, or we regulate Apple/Google.

That precisely what's wrong, because A is not the same quantity in both "A" part of the equations.

The right formula is changing either the 0.5A by A or the 2A by A.

Try with A being a real like 100 usd numbers to see it.

Basically you can't have "two realities" in the same equation. U havé to pick one.

EDIT - old but seems like a decent review: https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/soil-depletion-an...

To recap, there are declines up to 30% in certain nutrients for certain vegetables. This seems to be mostly down to farmers choosing varietals that grow faster and handle transport better over time.

Personally it's still my opinion that this is no big deal. Even if, say, oranges are lower-quality than a century ago, they are now cheap, easy to obtain and available year-round. You might have to eat four oranges instead of one for whatever nutrient allotment you desire but...that's a heck of a lot easier than it was for our grandparents. As long as people aren't eating mainly combinations of flour and oil, they'll be fine.
SmartGit supports it too but I find that even with access to it, its less useful than with something like P4 simply because git style ends up using more branches and locks don't work across branches.

Looking at “double-precision GFlops” columns there [1] they don’t seem terribly bad, more than twice as fast compared to similar nVidia chips [2]

While specialized extremely expensive GPUs from both vendors are way faster with many TFlops of FP64 compute throughput, I wouldn’t call high-end consumer GPUs useless for FP64 workloads.

The compute speed is not terribly bad, and due to some architectural features (ridiculously high RAM bandwidth, RAM latency hiding by switching threads) in my experience they can still deliver a large win compared to CPUs of comparable prices, even in FP64 tasks.

Django, The Right Way: An opinionated guide on Django
A decade of python here.

I have found that Python really can show you what other language is someone's primary language. You can write Python to look VERY Java-like, or very Ruby-like, or many others.

Idiomatic Python does not look like this generally. Another commenter hit it well that this is just badly-hidden Java code written with Python.

Python is what you make it to be; don't let this kind of stuff from random people on the internet scare you into thinking you have to use GoF and Java-like patterns and classes everywhere. You CAN, but only if those are actually _useful_ to you.
I like this idea, I remember seeing something similar in Trailblazer. But basically you just define your models once, and then you can transform them into different formats, and have them play nicely with ActiveRecord as well. Pretty cool :)
Good to know SomaFM is still round, its been 20+ years at this point.

There's nothing stopping a company from doing this now. Consumer protection laws merely establish a baseline minimum. The market is still free to do better than the minimum.
Show HN: Pip-compile-cross-platform Python dependency pinning but cross-platform
What is the average cost of a STEM bachelor's degree from a state college / university?

So many of these articles about the horrors of student debt and useless degrees are in fact about students who got Underwater Basket Weaving degrees from private, high-priced, unaccredited / not-very-accredited diploma mills.

Should we deal with the predatory nature of those schools? Absolutely. Does it imply that US Higher Ed in its entirety is broken? No. Could it be improved? Of course - everything can.
I've been eating approximately an (Haas) avocado a day for almost three years.

Generally, all the avocados for sale in one place at one time have similar ripeness because they came from the same shipment which means they were packed at the same time from trees in the same orchard.

Significant variation in ripeness is between crates not among them. Last weeks shipment are all softer. Today's new arrivals are each harder.

The only reliable visual cue is that very very ripe avocados are cratered.

you want them to be ripe and delicious when you buy them

I think most people want them ripe and delicious when they are eaten. Or at least I do.

I deal with unripe avocados by siting them in a fruit bowl until they're ready to eat.

The opposite is often true with inverter driven compressors. It’s VFD powered which introduces harmonics and other noise from SWPS. In the data center industry you oversize your generators to deal with it.

Plus dirty power from a struggling generator will kill the VFD. I just ran into this with my ECM condenser fan motor, circuit killed by generator.
No it is not a demanding workload. If you have a demanding workload I absolutely recommend purchasing more than 8GB of RAM, And Apple will gladly sell you a machine with more RAM if you need it. But for the vast majority of people 8GB is plenty, so that is what they offer on their base machines.
If I remember correctly, yes. The comparison was made between normally grown vegetables from the 60s and now.
For those of us using "pip-compile" to pin our Python dependencies, you may have run into the limitation that it can't generate a single "requirements.txt" for all needed Python versions / OSes [1].

"pip-compile-cross-platform" is meant to be used exactly like "pip-compile", while providing better results. This allows projects to get the benefits of better pinning logic without having to make the more-significant migration to a tool like "poetry" [2] (which is what "pip-compile-cross-platform" uses under-the-hood )

Agreed, a vote would hardly bring much extra information here.

I'd love to see data behind this question, but yes I believe that there is significant variation in the required intelligence to perform the highly various professions that the human race engages in. And I would claim – in all the humility I can muster speaking as a programmer myself – that the average programming job does inherently have a higher bar for intelligence than the average other profession.

It would be very wrong indeed to extrapolate from this information that one should TREAT individuals differently based on their choice of profession! Even if we knew for certain that the Brick Laying profession only consisted of the 1% most intelligent individuals and Data Entry Specialists the lowest 1%, treating individuals with these professions differently from a policy or cultural perspective would, in my opinion, be a great injustice.

> Better to use code that doesn't raise any questions, even if it's a few more characters.

Certainly, I agree; I would usually use:

(x for x in xs if x)

Or, if I know more about the kind of falsy values xs actually needs removed, something more explicit like:

(x for x in xs if x is not None)

Because Python’s multiplicity of falsy values can also be something of a footgun (particularly, when dealing with something a collection of Optionals where the substantive type has a falsy value like 0 or [] included.)

Instead of:

filter(None, xs)

Which is terse but potentially opaque.

Though it's additional syntax, I kind of wish genexp/list/set comprehensions could use something like “x from” as shorthand for “x for x in”, which would be particularly nice for filtering comprehensions.

Kind of, but roommates are self-selecting and you _can_ opt to move out. In the USSR, it was very difficult to opt out. If you were part of the nomenklatura, you did have some other options such as private apartments --but that was a small minority of people.
I think I used to listen to SomaFM, or something with a similar name.

If so then that’s one of the radio streams I found via the xiph Icecast directory.

You can listen to these Icecast stations using for example VLC media player, or mpv, or you can also play them directly in most web browsers.
This reminded when I had to maintain dozens of old 10,000 lines COBOL programs as a junior programmer. I felt so lost I made a program that would print only the names of data structures and functions. Seeing the source resumed in a handful of pages, and being able to highlight and draw on it, helped me a lot. Digital has flexibility, but sometimes paper works best.
You probably shouldn't listen to any advice given on here, since 99.9% of people on this platforms are as much of a fragile snowflake as you're portraying yourself in this post. Go live your best life and make something out of it. You feel you're stuck in some situation? Get out of it, leave your safe harbor and explore something new.

You have probably earned enough money for the past six years in order to be financially stable and you have likely filled the empty void that is your life with fancy bs that ultimately won't make you happy. This is neither burnout nor depression, this is boredom. Want to get ambition back? Put your body into survival mode, do something new that terrifies you. Change what you do for living or start your own company. Move to a different country. Take on an adventure. The accomplishment from that will be much more rewarding than anything the armchair shrinks on here (including myself that is) could come up with.
What are the biggest factors that contribute to the cost? Is it mostly increased labor?
I am not a recruiter but if I was and couldn't do my job without taking insane shortcuts that result in subpar recruiting, I would at least admit how broken the process is and try to look at the state of the art for some sanity.
It depends on the market segment of the device. Many of the segments that ARM devices compete with are also segments where sockets aren't common in x86 either. I mean, we all know Ampere devices typically have socketed RAM, but that's because different compromises were made in those devices vs. the compromises made in a thin low-power laptop.

The thin-and-light segment has some pretty tough competition, and the best sellers are not the devices with the most sockets.

If you're choosing to put an ARM processor in a laptop, you're probably doing so because it helps you accomplish some of the things this market wants: a smaller thermal solution, lower power consumption, slick packaging, etc. Adding sockets doesn't really help you commercially position that particular product any better, it only hurts you.

>In Northern Europe where I live a primary school teacher makes above $50k a year.

Where do you live? Because that's less than a teacher makes in the US, lol.

>No, people fall for the propaganda of American exceptionalism, and they haven't done the actual math to see if they actually would have more or less money moving to another country.

So a greater % of Europeans vs Americans are just ignorant? I don't honestly believe that.

>But you cannot just compare salary numbers like that, you have to do a full budget with real numbers and compare how much you're left with each month after you've paid all expenses.

So, realistically, what is someone that is paid $30-40k left with each month?

>Health insurance is $0 here. An average a parent here will have maybe 15 days of my-child-is-sick and 5 days of I'm-sick per year, in addition to 25 days of vacation, plus Christmas and Easter and other public holidays combining to 10 days on average, so 55 days total of paid leave per year for a parent with small children. And when the child was born, the mother received 9 months of paid maternity leave while the father got 3 months of paid leave.

And again, Europeans are very willing to give these up if it means a higher salary/ability to work in the US.

>Did you know that the average total monthly payment for a house in the Bay Area is $5300?

No, because I don't live in the Bay Area and I find anyone that does to be insane... but the salaries mostly scale to reflect that. The _average_ salary for the bay area for SDE is $230k. That's more than enough to cover that cost. A lot of people just rent or get an apartment to build wealth and then move somewhere else though.

Again, all the stuff you're saying is great and if that's your choice all the power to you. I don't see how any of that negates the simple fact that Europeans try very hard to get SDE jobs in the US.

The US is incredibly huge and diverse. You can find almost any type of living situation you want. No matter how you spin it, its hard to beat SDE opportunities in the US. Only thing I can think of is getting a job with an American company in Europe to have the "best of both worlds" but even then, not sure you'll find too many ppl willing to take it.
> the cheapest way to grow food.

Not just the cheapest, but the easiest: in many countries, and especially (though not exclusively) the US, the primary purpose of farming is landowning, so the primary incentive is limiting inconvenience.

If I ever need an arbitration attorney, do you recommend (1) focusing on finding someone local or (2) finding someone specific to arbitration regardless of location?

The existing pump is likely running off 230V while the Outlander provides 120V AC. I'd also need to rewire it all so I can actually plug it in.

I do have a pressure tank already (which is actually due to be replaced). But it's really only enough just for a few hand washings (and accidental toilet flushings) and then we end up out. Long run I want a more resilient setup. As soon as I start working again I want to get quotes on a solar panel setup for on my shop, and hopefully some kind of battery backup. Or even better or in addition, a CHADeMO V2H into the house so I can run the whole house off the Outlander.
>Why are Europe and Asia considered two continents?

Because the ancient Greek cartographers thought they were clearly separated, and the convention just stuck. Of course its easier for us to see it differently with satellite imagery.

The nuclear lab computers are also rented out to anyone who applies for an XSEDE grant. Anyone with a successful grant gets free access (obviously limited to a reasonable core-hors). Anyway, a ton of university researchers, all the way from materials simulations to weather groups will be using this computer to run their codes, as they have done for the last ones too.

In fact, such use accounts for the vast majority of the compute use.
That decline, was that in the public sector, where the security clearance process necessarily digs up that kind of dirt? Or did a private sector company actually investigate a candidate to the terms of their divorce?
