I agree with @wefarrell that it generally gives a lower yield. It can also be very difficult to do living soil on scale, but there are definitely plenty of businesses doing it. Closest to me, in Ann Arbor, Michigan is a place called Apothec

It takes a lot of patience, and good IPM, but living soil has been awesome to me. We often say we grow soil, rather than plants, because of the fact a healthy living soil will provide all the nutrients the plant needs, and all you have to d

Ok, so I assume you are saying it's good crypto is having bad news. May I ask why?

I live in a fairly rural, but affluent, part of Michigan now, and at one of the township board meetings, they were discussing a proposed bike lane. The reason they didn't want it? Only one person (on the board) really said anything at

I wonder if this would work for my hospital CT scans I've had in the last ~5 years. They all come on a CD, with a software program loaded onto it with the scans to view it in. It would be cool to be able to 3d visualize it all

"They wanted to expand surveillance while telling us they were protecting us." The issue is that they (i.e. government) have always done this. I'm only 35, but I remember this being very clear immediately after 9/11. You

FT is one of the few papers online that I feel is worth paying for. I agree they are good on macro issues for sure.

I don't know why, but NordVPN has always made me wonder if it might be a honey pot. Just the way they came on the scene, had so much advertising money, made sure to bill themselves as the "no logs" option you heard the most a

How do these programs impact China collection, if at all? Are they able to collect Chinese SIGINT of any significance through these cables, or does the 'Golden Shield Project' and 'Great Firewall' prevent info from going

I've noticed I can see the Milky Way best when I observe off-center. As soon as I try to focus directly on it, it's not as clear. Bortle sky 4 probably, SQM about 21

The "Talk" page for that article fleshes out a lot of things as well.

There's a scene in "True Detective" season 1, where one of sheriff's in the show is driving a Maserati to the country club he golfs at, and says he, "Seized it off some good old boy last year." I'd been aw

Thanks for that link. I had read parts of the Mueller report before, and learned some of the TTP's that the Russians used during the 2016 campaign/election, but this lays it out more clearly.

Yes, the judge I was referring to was a district court judge in the US (I believe in the state of Virginia but not positive) who hears terrorism cases and makes decisions on whether the classified evidence the prosecution wants to withhold

There are plenty of federal prosecutors and judges who know how to handle classified evidence in court. I can't remember his name off the top of my head anymore, but I recall when I deep-dived into the Gitmo suspects and military tribu

Hah, yeah I suppose it's relative. I guess a really small town I would think of having less than maybe 1,000 people, but 30,000 is about the smallest sized town I'd ever want to live in personally.

The south's money/economy was dependent upon slavery, that is true. But every single southern state listed the right to own slaves as one of their reasons for secession. https://www.battlefields.org/learn/prim

From my own personal, subjective experiences, I've found this to be the big one. I've lived in 8 states now, in all regions except the Northeast, from big cities to smaller towns (SF to towns of ~30,000) and the rural vs. urban di

There's always been two Americas, if not more. We've just tried to fool ourselves into believing otherwise for a long time.

Reading about this saga in Ben Buchanan's book "The Hacker and the State" made me realize how every government agency (NIST in this case) seems to be always second fiddle to the "needs" of the NSA/national secu

I can't remember which department, but I remember the local SF/Bay news many years ago talking about some supervisor at that department somehow making $1.5 million the year before (or something insane like that.) They explained ho

This is a decent summary of court cases related to the dogs: https://www.nlrg.com/criminal-law-legal-research/bid/84670/C... I think this part is pretty key, and has always been a big open question in my mind

Sorry for the off-topic question, but I've been wondering for a while and have been too afraid to ask: what does the green name signify here?

Right, I understand that. I guess my question was more of a general one on whether people think Apple in particular would cooperate with the government in that way? Obviously the San Bernardino shooter case comes to mind as an example of Ap

Is there a possibility that this could be some kind of Dual_EC type of backdoor they are trying to insert under the guise of something "positive" -- i.e. CSAM? As others have said elsewhere, it seems so out of the blue like they w
