I can't criticize your approach, since I'm not a farmer. I respect what you do & the work that it takes to run a farm. I can only point out what I've seen & what inspires me.

re: Amonia

> A typical modern ammonia-producing plant first converts natural gas (i.e., methane) or LPG (liquefied petroleum gases such as propane and butane) or petroleum naphtha into gaseous hydrogen.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ammonia_production

This requires the importation or local extraction of fossil fuels. Given that the United States is now utilizing fracking to extract natural gas, this causes pollution within the aquifers as well as reducing the integrity of the surface strata.

A natural approach of fertilization is animal poop from grazing & polycultures (nitrogen fixing perennial plants, like Black Locust), similar to how the ancient prairies were fertilized.

Mark Shepard, who's farm is in Wisconsin, has a large scale example of "Restoration Agriculture". He has a silvopasture that feeds his livestock. The livestock fertilize the fields. He also grows nuts. He also saves money by not having to buy fertilizer or pesticides. He also uses keyline design, swales, & ponds to efficiently use water & reduce runoff.

Here's a great talk by Gabe Brown from Idaho using natural, regenerative methods to rebuild soil.

My friends at http://www.fieldswithoutfences.org/ in New Jersey have a lush polyculture medicinal herb & food farm that started from rocky spent earth. There was no top soil when they started a few years ago. You can see how it looks right now.

Stroganov, while I agree with all you said, I think the thing is simply that off-topic stuff gets punished very harshly here, and posts containing only a youtube link are also pretty much a no no (unless it's a reply to a request for that video I guess). Don't take it to heart, it's not the worst system once you get used to it :)
I wouldn't discount it. But the more a published scientific finding spins a narrative that would confirm people's existing sensitivities, the more evidence it takes for me to be convinced it is true. Because of all false scientific findings (which most are: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1182327/), the ones that are most likely to virally propagate despite being false are the ones that people want to be true.

So the more I can imagine someone nodding their head and saying "yeah, that totally makes sense," the more I am skeptical of the study until I see some pretty solid evidence.

(I haven't looked at the evidence for this at all, so have no opinion on it).
I hope you find some answers. I understand the struggle.
The discinnect between Silicon Valley and the proletariat is rooted in two issues:

1) Silicon Valley may envision a future where human labor is not needed and society adapts. But ordinary people aren't futurists. They don't envision that coming about particularly soon. Neither the technology not the social change to deal with it. All they see is the short-term effect of automation driving down wages.

2) Silicon Valley has adopted this world view that embraces futurism and automation, but that future doesn't have a well-defined place for unskilled and moderately skilled people nor have its proponents elucidated how those people will be more prosperous in that future than in the present. People in Silicon Valley talk about "bullshit jobs" but have no answers for what those secretaries or HR staffers are going to do when those jobs cease to exist.

And Silicon Valley can't hide behind the "we just make the technology, we don't give you answers to social problems" trope because there is a strong social and political component to the current Silicon Valley mindset. Uber isn't just building logistics technology. It's disrupting an outdated industry and breaking down obsolete regulations. They're not just building technologies for the world we live in, they're trying to change the social and political rules that govern that world.
Thanks for your responses. I think I'm expecting interesting and impactful results out of an exposition/proposal, which is probably unreasonable.

> but all of programming in 28 pages, built on a foundation only of set theory, is very impressive

Yes, it is :-)
The way I heard it described to me was that it was considered very bad to hoard your wealth by, say, cooking or cleaning for yourself, rather than providing jobs for the less fortunate.

Granted, that's a pretty rosy way of viewing the arrangement, but, as usual, some income is better than none.
never thought of it as a dream company. just thought it more as something to put on my resume if it were to ever happen. unless im wrong, i thought this was already the mentality of most developer/hackers at this point.
Offtopic - why does monash.edu.au redirect to monash.edu? This is an Australian university.

This is actually not true. If you're using polymer with the full webcomponents.js polyfill, there's a known bug which breaks contenteditable execCommand calls (which means a lot of rich text editors break when you include the polyfill) [1]. The big heavy polyfill is also pretty slow on some browsers.

If you use the newer, lighter-weight shady-dom version of the polyfill, which is a lot more responsive on non-Chrome browsers and doesn't introduce the bug indicated in [1], you must do all DOM manipulation via polymer's local DOM api, in order to properly distribute dom elements.[2]

That means, if you want to use polymer, you cannot use angular or ember (for example). Specifically, DOM manipulation via those libraries ends up just using regular calls against element.appendChild, but those appended elements, if they are polymer elements, end up not properly working (event listeners don't attach and styling modifiers don't apply), because you didn't use polymer.dom to go via polymer's local dom API.

I found out about all of this the hard way, and now I have a webapp that works great on chrome, but users cannot use the rich text editor on anything except chrome. Which eliminates all iOS browsers entirely.

There are plenty of shared spaces (owner is renting out an extra bedroom, etc..), and a few close to a classic B&B (house with several rooms rented out with few frills). Even a lot of the places renting the full place out tend to be people who are flexible in where they stay (they crash at the significant other's place or something), or they tend to only have a couple places. There are certainly cases of people managing pseudo-hotels, but I've used the service for years and I've never stumbled on to any.
Mostly the latter rather than the former - Stalin had very much become 'Stalin' of show trials, forced mass collectivization, etc and these were known outside of the Soviet Union. It was just much more common for left-leaning Western intellectuals to rationalize, excuse or otherwise explain the nature of the regime away.
I wouldn't call an organization with a monopoly on force a co-op, at least, not in the traditional sense.
I also believe that Lions that rest near gazelles is a different scenario. If the Lion becomes hungry, it will almost certainly chase the gazelle in the right circumstances. The article made it clear that the wolves are not attacking these primates.

Also, according to the following website, sharks to eat fish. However, it's logical to assume that like the lion, they won't always eat fish if they are full or there is no return of benefit,
http://www.sharks-world.com/what_do_sharks_eat/

This one is fascinating because logically, you'd assume the wolves would attack the primates at any opportunity. It will be fascinating to see if the relationship evolves into one where the wolves defend the primates. Another poster posted the dog taming article. Maybe, just maybe, this group of primates may domesticate these wolves with time.
One of my first startup ideas I pitched to YC was to deorbit the inactive LEO satellites/debris as as service utilizing kilowatt-class lasers utilize radiation pressure to degrade the orbit enough to let atmospheric drag take care of the rest.

Well due to (IIRC) the Outer Space Treaty, spacecraft launched is still owned by their original company and I dont think the original company, or anyone else for that matter wants to pay to cleanup their trash, therefore no market.

Didn't get interviewed for most likely that reason.
This is more due to Bangladesh being a very low income country generally than anything else. It's not like Bangladesh was once the United States and devolved to its current state due to worker exploitation.

For most of the last century, Bangladesh was a basket case, unable to even feed its own people, and faced multiple terribly violent conflicts. It seems to have finally gotten moving over the last decade, and hopefully will keep on track.

We should definitely not "fear" such an impossible outcome.

Or, they don't show it off for fear of the ungrateful comments that projects tend to get because they don't implement some feature, or there's some obscure bug that the author doesn't consider important, or haven't updated it in a while, and so on.

Mondragon Corporation?
Please don't be rude.

I think the issue is figuring out the correct "lifestyle" treatment, as that word is quite broad. Research shows that an abnormally low HPA axis is associated with CFS, and in my case what worked was doing things to reverse this. This appears to be the case for other patients who have recovered.
Yes, it's about an umbrella of liability protection even if none exists (uber customer service is routinely awful). It's about how airbnb is actually dangerous, but they provide $50k+ of "insurance" if a visitor wrecks your house, and that allows you to more comfortably walk on the wild side of illegal subletting.

They also used it to surveil/recon the United States as it can loiter in US airspace for a while.

and the Kessler Syndrome is NOT helping either
Well, probably you did. Or you might have just been sick for a year or two and coincidentally gotten better at the same time as the diet and lifestyle changes. The odds are small, but given that you're a sample size of one it might well prove it to you, but not to others.
They exist.
I haven't seen them here.
I don't know where you find them either.
Well, there's kinda an example in the docs [0]. Kinda related: this appears to be built on the Clack webserver and its homepage lists code snippets of Lucerne alternatives that are built on top of Clack as well [1].

Ah...yeah, I was focusing on things directed directly to the victim in this part, not on things about the victim directed to third parties or the general public.

I would suggest education to combat that--as part of teaching kids early about nasty trolls and how to handle them, teach them that they have to be skeptical of negative personal information about people they get from strangers on the internet.

However, I fear that would probably not work. Easily believing rumors without good (or even barely plausible...) evidence seems to be a general tendency of people. Hell, people will believe that bike lanes are part of a UN plot to take away the guns of American civilians [1], so I suppose I should not be surprised that they would readily believe a rumor that someone slept their way into a job or distributed child pornography of their own kids or stole someone else's work.

I currently have no ideas on how to effectively fix this.

[1] I wish I were making that up...

I can't agree more. Where does this plan leave desktop app dev. with Mozilla technologies? There are tonnes of projects (desktop apps) using XUL, XPCOM, e.t.c. SUre, the future is the Web (like Web OS, Unity, i.e. UI in HTML). Why can't they improve on XUL/XBL by releasing a new version with the desired features while they try to simplify building extensions/apps with XPCOMs? They should standardize apps dev. for FFOS (gonk{+necko}/gecko/gaia) & FF(gecko+necko/xul). This effort does not necessarily mean spending much time on enhancing the UI for FF but rather ensuring seamless app. portability between FF and FFOS.
What's keeping me from using Polymer is that nobody can tell me if Web Components is going to last. In fact, I don't know what's even in the running anymore.
Now I finally understand why, in Star Trek TOS, they only visited planets with "lifeforms less advanced than humans" (or with no human-like lifeforms). Bugger the Prime Directive, and the mission to "explore strange new worlds". Doing otherwise was just too dangerous!

Can you imagine the perils of trying to keep a 300m-long starship in orbit, without hitting all the bits of rubbish? Sulu would have been doing slaloms for half of every episode. (Although they could probably spring-clean a planet of orbital debris within a few hours, too, just vacuum it all up with a tractor beam).

As Spock so eloquently put it in ST4: "Judging by the pollution content of the atmosphere, I believe we have arrived at the latter half of the 20th Century."
I can sympathize, my wife is asleep next to me and I'm sure she will be excited to hear some progress is being made on CFS. CFS isn't a sexy thing to research, it doesn't get a lot of funding, same thing with a lot of other conditions and syndromes. No idea what causes it, but taking x/y/x unrelated medication seems to alleviate the symptoms.

It depends on whether you are a recent college grad or not.

A recent college grad will probably believe the hype.

An experienced candidate is more likely to see it as just another job and another step in a career. (hence the preference for recent grads over experienced candidates)
This cool factor tradeoff works for a little while early on but once it ceases to be the inherently cool, it turns into large and manufactured cool. Simultaneously, that's when it also becomes a toxic work environment.

I just do both. I have my regular 9 to 5 with a big enterprise software company, and when I get home I just work on my freelance projects.

As long as there's no conflict of interest (there's usually none since the scope and scale are totally different), then it shouldn't be a problem.

The only issue is getting newer clients, currently I get projects/clients from word of mouth or from former colleagues. Of course I would want to do this full time since my regular job is mind numbingly boring, but it pays the bills.

Qihoo was known to help Chinese govt preventing people from bypassing GFW, but not the one blocks Google.

And if you share your files (videos) you'd generate some revenue too.
Here is a difference of opinion:

If you want to share the same code base you need to grantee the same functionality. The easiest and most predictable way is to run this through an intermediate and then render that intermediate. This is why compilers use intermediate representations like bytecode, you don't want to write a compiler that builds only x86 and then another when you need to build ARM. You don't want to write a rendering engine with different implementations for each widget kit.

I quite enjoyed learning Scheme at university. Coming from OOP, I loved when it just clicked and you began to look for opportunities to use higher order functions. I never actually used Lisp, so I might try that one with a small project.

For what type of web project could Common Lisp be a good fit? It should probably have something to do with huge lists of data that have to be processed, so that you can map, filter and fold them. The data should be relatively simple to obtain, too, so that the missing libraries are not that huge of a problem.

I'm totally blown away by your art, Noah. It's wonderful.

I have a question for you, if you'd be willing to entertain it: As your own art has improved, would you say that your own imagination has improved as well?

For me, I'm interested in a few things that aren't [strictly] visual art -- creating video games and writing stories -- but I often find myself having trouble fully visualizing the ideas that bubble up from my imagination. For example, I might have a story that involves a futuristic space ship, but I can only retain a shadow of its image in my mind's eye. The general shapes might be there, and a few details, but it's a far cry from the rich detail that I can conjure up of, say, my home growing up.

One idea I've considered, as a means of sharpening my imagination, is getting into sketching or painting. Perhaps learning the techniques of putting imagination to paper will make my imagination all that much sharper, more vibrant, more real. Would you say that there's any merit to that line of thinking?
