You're overthinking this a little. If Monsanto comes up with a new weedkiller, they have to prove that its safe for humans before its put into use. It has nothing to do with restaurants. Obviously stuff would be grandfathered in as well. But its a fantastic idea going forward.
True, our use case is a bit different as the waves go between PoPs/DCs/Offices so the only diversity can be in the path itself. Faster to have the path switch over and have L3 re-converge only when the working and protected path are unavailable.
Many, many people have been calling for MS to clean up their store since it was launched. It has been full of crapware for its entire existence; most devs have only used it to install WSL.

People who have been exposed to <everything possible in the world> got cancer, but that is meaningless in showing causation. Internal documents show concern, but show no evidence that it causes cancer, or that Monsanto had internal data showing it caused cancer.

It's about profits, so for the greedy it's definitely worth the cancer risk. Weeds take resources from the crop yield. Conventional farming is not designed to handle weeds, or the way they do handle them is nearly exclusively through spraying. In contrast more whole system approaches like permaculture employ ways of purposefully planting good weeds, as one simple example, and a variety of other integrated approaches.
There's reams of Musk's direct thoughts about this topic and many many others, coincidentally available on twitter dot com. It's not overly difficult to get a sense of who he is and how he thinks about things.

As I read them, you’re introducing exceptions that Texas “managed lanes” laws don’t have.

Texas law is that “a vehicle occupied by two or more people…may use HOV lanes”. A fetus is not yet a person, but if Texas law says that fetuses are constitutional persons, then how would fetuses not have those rights in this case?

> freight companies have had a 150 year monopoly on the right of way.

In the US, railroads had to run both freight and passengers or else leave money on the table, 153 years ago, when the first transcontinental line was finished. And if they wanted to advertise speed to passengers, the freight trains had to yield.

When Amtrak started of course things changed a lot, immediately and also gradually, but that was 1971, 52 years ago.
Wow great list. When I have the time, I try and self host as much as I can. I’m not aiming for 100% of everything to be self hosted and still rely on SaaS products. You would need a lot of free time to go fully self hosted, and a lot of patience when things go wrong. Also you would need to fund several VPS instances and not everyone has the disposable income for that.
I think there's an opportunity to leverage Starlink's concept at a municipal/regional level. Maybe Starlink will do this to sell into denser regions with miniaturized equipment. Get a high enough vantage point for the remote end, on the CPE side, issue steerable array antennas that can be self-installed.

As demand increases, you could setup more remote ends and enough steerable array antennas can automatically re-aim and new subs will point to the new one.

I’ve been dealing with an example of just what you described: Unicode normalization and collation. There’s a good normalization library in Rust—in terms of the quality of the code, standards conformance, how comfortable I am depending on it, etc.—but it’s a full order of magnitude slower than icu4c.[0] Which shouldn’t come as a surprise! Some of these things take decades.

Or a pilot. Or an artist. Or a mathematician. Or basically anything difficult.

This is the price we pay for having easy-to-use computers. People have developed an expectation that everything should be easy and if it's not easy for beginners then it's bad.

Some things are just hard! That doesn't make them bad. Some of the best things in life actually take years of study to learn.
Very interesting - thanks for sharing. I'm not a scientist and the only time I've come across discussion of phages before was in the Michael Crichton novel, Prey.
why can't those be put in different spaces and just switch between spaces using keyboard. Whats the advantage of putting terminal in another monitor.

This has puzzled me for a long time as to why ppl use multiple monitors at all. Is the idea that your peripheral vision is monitoring terminal window ?
> First, Strathdee found an obscure treatment that offered a glimmer of hope -- fighting superbugs with phages, viruses created by nature to eat bacteria.

> Then she convinced phage scientists around the country to hunt and peck through molecular haystacks of sewage, bogs, ponds, the bilge of boats and other prime breeding grounds for bacteria and their viral opponents. The impossible goal: quickly find the few, exquisitely unique phages capable of fighting a specific strain of antibiotic-resistant bacteria literally eating her husband alive.

Pretty much.

No, but many use it (selectively) on mulch beds. I’m assuming that’s what that means by using it on lawns (vs. farms).

Winning or losing a lawsuit of this type is not necessarily proof of guilt, or proof that roundup causes cancer. what it proves is that a jury was convinced that it does.
A few things:

1. REBCO was discovered in the 80s but took decades to work out the kinks in mass production of reliable tapes.

2. Cold fusion is psuedoscience. These results are real. Speculating that a technology be vaporware is a very different and weaker claim. How do you know that people will not solve the engineering problems preventing mass production? Because it wasn't immediately obvious how to do it in the past?
I don’t see your point… sometimes there’s high demand of train travel.

There's been a lot of speculating around here on exactly what it would take for Musk to get out of this deal; here's the TLDR of the analysis from Levine:

> Musk cannot get out of the deal just because one of Twitter’s representations is false. He still has to close the deal unless the representation is false and it would have a “material adverse effect” on Twitter. This is a famously under-defined term but it generally needs to be a pretty catastrophic effect. If the bots are 6% of mDAUs, whatever. If the bots are 75% of mDAUs and Twitter has been knowingly misleading its advertisers, and Musk can expose that scam and advertisers flee and Twitter faces legal trouble for its fraud, then, sure, material adverse effect.

As to whether there is any evidence of a false representation (not even addressing material adverse effect due to that false representation):

> The only basis for the claim is that “preliminary analysis by Mr. Musk’s advisors of the information provided by Twitter to date causes Mr. Musk to strongly believe that the proportion of false and spam accounts included in the reported mDAU count is wildly higher than 5%.” Notice that Ringler does not say that the analysis shows that the bots are “wildly higher than 5%” of mDAUs: That would be a factual claim that, I suspect, Musk’s advisers know is false. They make only the subjective claim that Musk “strongly believes” it.

And then, perhaps the better grounds for Musk to prevail:

> The second pretext is: Twitter is not giving Musk enough information about the bot problem. This is a better pretext, for technical legal reasons, which we have also discussed previously. In the closing conditions to the merger, representations are qualified by “material adverse effect”; just finding that a representation is false would not give Musk the right to terminate the deal unless it caused an MAE. But covenants are qualified by “all material respects”: In the merger agreement, Twitter promised to do certain things between signing and closing, and it has to do those things, whether or not there would be a material adverse effect from not doing them. So if Musk can prove that Twitter hasn’t complied with its obligations, he can get out of the deal.
Just coming across these. I've been using amethyst. Would this offer any benefit to me ?
The consequence of weeds and the consequence of using roundup accrue to different parties.

The obsession with taxonomy and categorization really ruins a lot of subjects in school. It kinda makes sense _why_ they are covered like this: It's really easy to “split” the syllabus into even chunks; it is a good fit for the memorization-based study techniques that are pervasive and it leads to a very “homogenous” learning experience regardless of the maturity and interests of each student.

My main problem with it is that it leads to very rigid thought structures devoid of curiosity or contextualization: The belief that the map is the terrain; that the universe is static, predetermined and discretely categorized under conveniently human terms; that scientific knowledge is either divined or standardized by a class of bureaucrats; that things are sorted over a “rank” of lesser to greater according to a direction towards objective progress.

It also generally sucks out a lot of the “fun” of learning about the world (though I understand sometimes taxonomy/categorization _can_ be fun in its own right).

As an example, grammar only really “clicked” with me when I was already in college: I was finally able to see it outside of the “prescriptive memorization hell” that I was subjected to in school, and instead perceive it under descriptive terms of Computer Science.
Can you dumb this down for someone who understands Internet networking (incl. internet backbone routing), and vaguely understands shared-medium networking like wi-fi and cellular networks, but who knows next to nothing about coax, and especially nothing about fiber?

What does a fiber loop (bus?) let you do hardware-wise, that a star topology wouldn't? Either way, you're running a piece of fiber to the home from somewhere, and connecting it to your network somehow; and I would assume that it's that connection that's inherently expensive, because of the equipment involved. In star topologies, that's a switch, or a hierarchy of switches. For a shared medium, that's a hub—or, I guess, some kind of direct splice, if that's somehow cheaper in TCO.

Is the goal of using a loop, to avoid the cost of having neighbourhood-distribution-box optical network switches, instead directly splicing customers onto the ring, making the customer's fiber "part of" the shared medium of the loop, and then allowing customer equipment to directly push packets / transmission cells onto the loop?

If so, why does it sound like you're implying that in a traditional FTTH star topology, there wouldn't be per-neighbourhood optical network switches, and instead only one wide-branching layer where all customers' lines terminate directly at one central location? That seems kind of ridiculous. Are optical switches really that expensive, that those are the only two options? Especially when neighbourhood-distribution-box optical switches would be relatively-low fan-in + relatively-low bandwidth, and therefore could be built to use simple low-frequency TDM circuit-switching protocols like coax's ATM?

Also, is client-accessible fiber head-end equipment really trustworthy to do TDM (FDM?) onto a shared fiber medium, without ruining it for everyone else? We don't trust client equipment to do that on enterprise Ethernet networks (if we can at-all help it); we use switches instead of hubs, and we even put VLANs in place to further isolate flows in the merged path for QoS purposes. Is the difference just a matter of a fiber provider only certifying specific (presumably robust) equipment; and of that equipment not being coupled to power delivery issues of an arbitrary host device? Is that enough to get you peace-of-mind that your shared-medium network won't be being blasted with noise from new failing head-end equipment every few days?

On the one hand, it makes total sense to me that childhood antibiotics could mess up your digestive tract immune system. On the other hand:

"Subgroup analysis showed that antibiotic use <18 years old was a risk factor for CD development in the Chinese (adjusted OR 4.80, 95% CI 1.62–12.24; P = 0.005) but not in Australian populations (OR 1.80, 95% CI 0.33–9.95; P = 0.498)."

If it were a robust finding, it would not fall apart on subgroup analysis.
Gonna be honest - once you are talking about billions of dollars, nobody gives a shit about ethics. There’s what you contractually agreed to do, and that’s it.

Nobody gets to the point where they either have significant control over Twitter or have the money to buy Twitter by being ethical.

An ethical person would not have signed an agreement to almost definitely buy Twitter, intentionally giving up several common buyers’ rights on this sort of thing, and then spend the next month and a half trying to get out of it.
I mean, you like speed and compiled, C and C++, depending on what types of projects you're into. They aren't really replacements for backend systems, though.

I know people on HN are tired of hearing the same drumbeat over and over but Rust really is an exciting space and community to develop in right now.

As far as IDEs, you can try Atom or CodeBlocks or something (I'm not sure... I use VSCode because I used it before MS made it evil and I'm not going to let them make me stop).
I'll second the original comment, for me Google is trash that won't find anything except blogspam and mainstream sites.

There is however a big difference in the legitimacy of restrictions. The reality is that their are many unreasonable people on the Internet. Most unreasonable people however think of themselves as reasonable and other similarly unreasonable people as reasonable as well. There are also some reasonable people on the Internet. So how do you know which one you are?

When we can't assume one or the other we have to look at something else where we might reach a conclusion. If someone says they are oppressed we can look at what would hinder their oppression. Arguably this would be things like transparency, participation and equality. As those things make oppression harder.

So if someone says they are being silenced a reasonable person might look if there are multiple known moderators who can check each other, a moderation log to see how moderation is happening or some voting system to reflect the opinions of the community.

In most cases where people are says they are being silenced these things doesn't exist. As such it would be unreasonable to dismiss their opinion as there seems to be an argument for the restrictions not being legitimate. Otherwise you just create a different cesspool of unreasonable people.

Blue River doesn’t use drones.

There were so many layers to that medium post. It’s like an incestuous orgy in a glyphosate teacup.

First..There once was a company called Climate corp..that sold a neat little box called Fieldview that was slapped under a tractor. When the farmer harvested corn, Fieldview harvested data. All kinds of data. Useless data that the farmer didn’t need and know that he had. Climate was amassing crap ton of data from thousands of acres of American fields.

This caught the eye of John Deere. They wanted Climate. But what Climate had was nothing short of a treasure chest. Monsanto wanted that too. At the end, Monsanto got the prize. They purchased Climate.

Climate under Monsanto went on to create Precision Planting and they were going to sell that arm
to John Deere. But due to anti trust concerns, the courts put several road blocks. As if Monsanto and John Deere already don’t control American Ag..

So finally Bayer purchased Monsanto but not all parts of it. Climate was spun off and Monsanto’s investment arm Monsanto Growth Ventures was shut down and the portfolio went on to populate DCVC.

Blue River Tech was a small company that came up with a ‘See and Spray’ tech to identify weeds in the lettuce fields of California with AI and sprayed it with an organic fertilizer high N concentration that burnt emerging thread stage weeds. DCVC was investor in Blue River.

John Deere bought out Blue River because they gave up on buying Climate from Monsanto for $305 million. Blue River tech that was using its See and Spray AI in organic lettuce fields now uses the tech for GM cotton etc and is part of JD’s Agtech offerings as AI full stack.

And yes, they use glyphosate. I will tell the fairytale of how Monsanto used to sell seeds, fertilizer, herbicides. Sterile GMO seeds that can only grow with Monsanto inputs and need their magic sauce with glyphosate.

But for now..Blue River doesn’t use drones.
And would be even better and improve faster with more users.
