What does this have to do with my reply above? Genuinely confused.

Pretty sure you are just making things up now unless you have a source. There were lots of arrests, lots of convictions, some fleeing to Cuba and subsequent detentions. Nobody in the Chénier cell the precipitated the crisis was let off on e

What? Maybe in the most northern reaches.. even then "for several weeks" is a stretch.. even Uranium City doesn't hit -40°C every winter!

If you have to do all this fancy footwork to make volatility not matter doesn't that prove that volatility does matter. If you price asset X in crypto in the market and then buy options on USD to ensure that your sale price will be red

I guess that's the thing I don't get.. you need to pwn a bank and then pwn a telco.. it feels like if it were a probable scenario all these issues with SS7 would be long fixed, so it must be an improbable scenario? My recollecti

This argument seems strange to me.. how many attacks are by someone literally armed with a customer list from a financial institution? The "casting a wide net" seems directly opposed to the effort involved in a SMS intercept attac

by JamisonM 5y ago
But sending you an SMS is a lot more security than no 2FA at all, right? I am aware of attacks that state/very sophisticated actors can use to intercept SMS messages but that's a serious edge case for a normal person, right?

That's 127 thousand metric tonnes, right?

Yeah, in oats now the harvest is managed in terms of if a pre-harvest desiccant was applied crops are binned and handled separately. I dislike this being spelled out in terms of "increasing yield" as it is actually more about mana

I don't think "Monsanto" has given up on GMOs, now they are Bayer and they sell a lot of GMO products. The article linked does highlight a very important point without really enlightening readers about the history, GMOs wer

Sorry, what Canadian grain imports have anything to do with glyphosate? There are no varieties of Wheat, Oats, or Barley registered in Canada that a resistant to glyphosate.

by JamisonM 5y ago
So if the farmers didn't grow glysophate resistant corn instead they would grow non-GMO wheat and spray it with "selective" herbicides that kill wild oats and broadleaf plants over those acres and society would be better.. ho

Yes, this whole narrative that farmers are idiots and that the agricultural industrial complex is manipulating us is both extremely popular here on HN and highly offensive. If farmers don't want to grow GMO/glyphosate resistant cr

You can say likewise about any other pesticide on that basis.. but I do wonder where the "hundreds of thousands of tonnes" comes from. My farm applies 540 grams of glyphosate per acre on our soybean crop each season.. if that is a

Tanking the network for the cost of some supercomputer time seems like a pretty good deal if you view it as an existential threat.

Would it not be easy for a state actor with a large amount of resorces be able to launch an attack on the network by providing most of the mining capacity for a short burst and effectively take control of the currency? I thought that was a

IDK, if your best argument is that an EV breaks even with an ICE at 40,000 miles on the odometer under current conditions that is a very good argument for buying an EV to help the environment! They last a lot longer than 40,000 miles! Green

As an observer from the other side of the northern border I have always been keen to see the US temper its general culture of "police worship" that seems very contrary to the interests of the general public. I have likewise been h

Oil heating's days are essentially over. Still lots of natural gas heating though. There is a lot of room for greening at the point of service through geothermal and the like, lots of room for efficiency improvements too. The economic

Yes you are, but that wouldn't necessarily require you to reveal your identity either.

I enthusiastically queued up to get AZ as soon as it was offered and now I will happily be getting a Moderna 2nd shot in a few days. Your caution has not been justified, the over-caution of the governments on these matters on the other has

There has been evidence of reduced transmission for months, again you are not engaging in an honest evaluation of the evidence. Most governments actually haven't followed the most obvious path in much of anything to do with this virus,

As I said, no one is required to be so credulous.

This is so hopelessly stupid I just feel sorry for you at this point. If you think that the hospitals just magically emptied out and the virus is still circulating at the same rate as before vaccinations started in every jurisdiction that h

If you haven't seen any data of reduced transmission it is because you are intentionally avoiding it. Look ay the case numbers in the nations that are vaccinating at a high rate, if you don't know how to draw appropriate conclusio

You are quite obviously purposely misleading people, no one is obliged to be so credulous.
