There's no contradiction between only agriculture at 10% and agriculture, forestry and other land use at 24%.

Well, my emotional life is at the very centre of my experience of the world, so it is kind of hard to ignore. Maybe it is self-centred to care about my emotions, but I have also learned that I’m a much better husband, father, and coworker w

I’ve put both my kids in preschool from about the time they turned one. I can teach my kids a lot in my own, but what I can’t give them is plenty of training interacting with other kids. They might not be able to read when they are four thi

I’m just a grain of sand, briefly resting in the dune, before the next gush of wind, and I’m gone.

Any idea how anyone who never got any meaningful advice from their parents can learn these things?

There's usually reasons for the specs looking like they do. The reasons are the same that make that beautiful pure 4 line function 150 lines after being battle tested in different environments and on different platforms for a few years

I’ve a hard time to believe that Donald Trump worked hard a single day of his life, and by most standards he was extraordinarily successful.

Imagine if the nice perfectly planned solution would have gotten the build time down to 5 seconds and been done next month, but it now never would be implemented because 1 minute was considered good enough.

It diminishes how much money the country that invented it can make.

But globally it was much more. We are talking about in total 800 arrests with 155 of these in Sweden.

I'm certain they will, at least here in Sweden. We have bought most of our groceries online for years. It is worth quite a bit to not have to use half a Sunday to drive to a big ugly supermarket surrounded by a huge parking lot and the

Of course it has. Just because it isn't directly based in a physiological reaction doesn't make it less real. And it is in general a mistake to make a clear distinction between what is mind and what is matter. They are the same.

It has the effect of the existential dread of being alone with your thoughts.

I prefer PDFs for technical literature. Well, everything with tables and or figures, or side notes that needs to align reasonably with the main content. Most other formats tend to mess up on or more of the above.

No! The only time that might a good advice is if you are stuck under water. Or otherwise exhausted all other possibilities and there's absolutely no hope to be rescued. Otherwise keep your life jacket on. For example the casualty in th

You assume that it is easy to predict exactly what effect some genes from some bacteria would have is, say, spinach. It is rarely so. In traditional breeding, you know what you start with, and crossing two variants from the same species nev

The question was about what kind of testing that can be done on GMOs that can't be done on other types of organisms. The commenter that I was hoping to answer me claimed that it is harder to test traditionally bred organisms than GMO

by Ma8ee 5y ago
Those are not the only alternatives available. There are farming practices that give good yield, use none or a minimum of pesticides and herbicides, and don't use any GMOs.
772.
by Ma8ee 5y ago
Also, what process is there for verifying that GMOs don't have any harmful side effects that you can't use for traditionally bred plants?
773.
by Ma8ee 5y ago
More random mutations than traditional breeding? I would be genuinely interested if you could provide some reliable source for what you are claiming. But I must confess that for now it sounds like FUD spread by the GMO industry.
774.
by Ma8ee 5y ago
It is certainly a false dichotomy, because you paint it as a decision between GMO and conventional non-GMO farming. But as in all false dichotomies, there are more alternatives. And no, that is not how decisions are made. You don't sta

That just proves that it is possible to achieve what the GMO proponents argue that GMOs are necessary for, without using GM. And it certainly doesn't do the main thing that we accuse GMOs for, which is spreading genetically modified or

Yes, we have been breeding plants and animals for a long time, long before Mendel. But the difference between breeding and GM is not only a difference in magnitude, it is also a difference in kind. We are not only breeding faster and better

What is a transformation protocol in this context?
778.
by Ma8ee 5y ago
That is a false dichotomy. It is perfectly possible to get good yields with farming practices that use neither pesticides nor GM.

It's a pity then that supply side economy doesn't work.

And Keynes has empirically done very well, thank you.
