[..]The problem comes at a time when inflation and a historic drought are pushing the costs of production and water supplies to an all-time high, and the price of almonds has fallen to an all-time low of about $2 per pound.

It’s a sharp reversal for the industry after four decades of relentless expansion across 1.6 million acres in California’s agricultural Central Valley from Tehama County to southern Fresno County.[..]

This is just bad economics and especially during a drought. Export oriented fossil fuel based Ag is the worst thing to engage in right now when we have a drought in high COLA CA.

> That same month, the Ontario Teachers’ Pension Plan (OTPP) announced its investment in FTX Trading Ltd, supplying at least $50 million into a meme-inspired fundraising round — raising $420.69 million from 69 investors. FTX hasn’t crashed like Celsius Network just yet, but the investment is putting teacher pensions in danger.

FTX is an exchange and market maker. The risk profile is different from a generic crypto trading hedge fund.
A DM should always host a “session 0” to communicate the tone, intent, and play style of the campaign.

In addition, it is the DM’s responsibility to know who is at their table. Every single DM I have ever played with has sent out a questionnaire that makes people flesh out their character a bit, as well as communicate anything they feel is necessary. I have never started a table without doing it as well.

While it does behoove a player to tell their DM if they have PTSD or something, the DM also is expected to make basic overtures requesting that kind of information. Especially if there any new players at the table. Ultimately the energy and comfort level at the table is set by them.

Of course you can’t always predict everything, and not every player always knows what is going to upset them or bother them at a table. But that is why constant communication and respect is important. If your table can’t do that then it is not a table you want to play at.

At the end of the day, D&D is about telling a story together and respecting consent. Also, shoot/loot/scoot lol
Is yarnv2 any better for this? I haven't tried it because it wasn't backward-compatible, but for fresh projects, would that be a better choice?

Real (traditional) successful market makers are rather more sophisticated than anything that could possibly run on the Ethereum blockchain. The fact that a market maker is a decentralized automatic magical thing that is supported by cryptography does not mean that it has a chance of competing with a good algorithm that runs on an actual computer (or FPGA or ASIC!) if the cryptocurrency market ever becomes legitimate to the point where modern market makers fully participate.
Dark mode is a symptom of a problem caused by people using monitors in dark rooms. Turn your lights on and you won’t need a dark mode anymore.

The system that makes the Netherlands the second largest food exporter has resulted in ever fewer farmers earning ever less money. They as a group are the first that stand to gain from a complete change in how Dutch agribusiness operates, because the profits of the current export-focussed system are not going to them. It also costs the Dutch tax payer (and European tax payers through the famous European agricultural subsidies) billions of Euros. Subsidy on pork farming is over a 100%, and still pig farmers are struggling.

That a significant group of farmers is defending this status quo goes to show that they have a poor understanding of their situation.

That’s why the texts that do survive are so important. They give us descriptions of the transient experience that doesn’t make it into the archeological record.

Analytical instrumentation has made an incredible jump in sensitivity in the last 10 years. Molecular paleontologists can detect fossilized protein and nucleic acid fragments in remains that are millions of years old. I think we there is going to be a complete change in how archeologists do surveys of more modern historical sights. The molecular fingerprints left in the human record should be much more significant.

I have searched for specific things a lot. Usually I just search what I remember being in the video rather than what I thought the title was. The right video comes up even when the words I search did not show up in the title or description. Google's ability to search is only just short of being magic.

Meanwhile, the products which HN promotes regularly like Mastodon and PeerTube fail to find things with directly searching the title text because P2P search is completely non functional.
> It is (or should be) backed 1:1 by dollars, and the institution holding USDs should be profiting only for the service provided, not by re-investing the money.

Should be, perhaps. But it does not appear to be. Tether's statements indicate that they are very much in the fractional reserve game, and while Circle has removed the asset breakdown from their attestations, the last one I found that had it indicated that they were also playing the fractional reserve game.

Given that the two largest stablecoins have admitted to playing the fractional reserve game, are you willing to admit that the peg turn out to only be as solid as, say, the GBP/ESM peg was?
Are there any off the shelf easy to use translation services where you just send in your xliff files or something and get it translated based on translation size/time taken by the translator? At my job, everything is pretty automated between translators and devs, but I imagine that's not very simple or easy for small devs/open source. I'm thinking xliff in particular would be the easiest format to work with since there are so many tools available for it.

Obviously, Google Translate is going to produce suboptimal translations, but it does have the big advantage of being easy to automate.

Nobody is forcing you to sideload anything.

The way I see it, you enjoy a walled garden where many people are competing to provide you with apps. But they have to follow Apple's directives.

The EU is also such a walled garden where companies have to follow the rules.

In essence, nobody is forcing anybody. If you don't want Apple's control, buy an Android phone. If Apple doesn't like the EU's control, it shouldn't sell in the EU.

So when you say "hands off my phone" I say "hands off MY phone". You don't like the EU's regulation. I don't like Apple's regulation.

You might say that Apple should be able to do that because it is a private company. But that private company brought in more net sales in 2021 (366 billion) than my country's GDP (Romania, 288 billion). I have more choice in moving countries (26 other countries in the EU) than phone platforms (basically 2).

Ask HN: How should I meet people in the Bay Area working on interesting things?
I moved to San Francisco after undergrad a few years ago to work at a unicorn as an engineer to learn with ambitions of doing my startup after a few years. I've ascended the ladder relatively quickly as the company has grown, but find myself increasingly bored with the work. I'm realizing it's time to do something new, but I'm not totally sure where to start.

Where would one go in the Bay Area to meet other people that are interested in working on new projects or ventures? Do in-person forums for talking about interesting topics (and potentially working on them) exist in the city? Note that I explicitly didn't say tech startups — I have pretty diverse interests, and I'd be very open to non-tech work, though tech startups are often interesting.

Apologies for this post being Bay Area-centric (though folks might have advice that generalizes).

Your reasoning is faulty and very probably self-serving. More and more companies can and will outsource their infrastructure. IT guys hate this because it threatens their "paychecks."

The optimal amount of cloud services for an established company like FedEx is 100%, not merely with a "disaster recovery plan" but with live, 99.99% redundancy by which I mean two almost exact systems running nearly simultaneously (within a second or two of one another) on two completely different networks.

FedEx enjoys almost all of its competitive advantage from its physical network. IT is not core to its business.

Here's the problem... almost no company actually does disaster recovery and "parallel redundancy" properly because most C-level executives only pay lip service to it.

Therefore, the whole notion that disaster recovery and "parallel redundancy" don't work is predicated on the false notion that companies actually have proper disaster recovery and "parallel redundancy" in the first place.
It's not so much that NIST has chosen bad ciphers in their competitions, so much as that they've created institutional pressure against other totally reasonable constructions, which in turn make it harder for things like WireGuard to get adopted inside the USG. The ciphers are much less important than the protocols that use them.
It is simply because Mozilla blindly follows Google in how thing should work in the engine.
It's a very specific kind of performance. It doesn't measure long running apps, interactions and visualizations.

When you play a video game you might have to download and install it first, which might take quite a while, but we don't say "this game has bad performance" because of that.

Lighthouse measures that first second or first few seconds after you visit a site at position 0/0. It doesn't care about how much bloat comes after you scroll. It discourages you to pre-load resources (including JS and CSS) which you don't _immediately_ need for that first hit.

It is really about content and marketing websites with low interaction. You can absolutely make good interactive applications that also get a high Lighthouse score, but the overlap is not necessarily always feasible or the best tradeoff to make.

The 13" MBP seems to only exist to fill in a gap in price points until they can get the 14" down in price. The fact that it kept the old body style tells us it's not going to stick around.

I don't think it actually changed as much as you are implying it did. Some studies of infection in the general population have indicated that infection rates were much higher than estimated, but some of those studies were rushed and haven't held up well.

I remember some earlier ranges that said it could be as high as 3-5%, but mostly it has stayed around 1% and that fell significantly after the vaccine.

I mean, if we assume that every single person in the US has been infected already with COVID, that puts the death rate at 0.2% and without a vaccine, it would have been a lot higher.

Even if you do compile the kernel yourself, do you really own your OS if you haven't compiled the compiler yourself? Did you use a pre-built compiler binary to compile the compiler?

Now we're getting to the real questions in life. :)
