It's the massive destruction of existing biomes and ecosystems to make way for monoculture soy, wheat and other grain farms that go into cattle feed that is the issue. Free range cattle in non-savana bushland like we have here in Austr

Most all modern agricultural produce are modified way beyond "natural". There is very little 'natural' about a plowed and fertilized field. And the produce being grown there has been selected and modified and optimised w

Scientist are not turning to rust. Scientist, if they are turning, are turning to the scientific standard compute language and its plethora of platforms and libraries: Python. Rust is fine, but it will never catch up or replace Python. Pyth

I'm here to complain about the utterly annoying 'redeem your shit' hovering diff that obscures the main page. If you are in anyway responsible for doing this to other people, please, take a bit of time and go fuck yourself.

Joke's on you if you trust Google with anything important. Google's penchant to abandon projects is well recorded here and elsewhere. Google sells ads, they are a advertising company. Everything else is just some kids' side p

This is why I steal everything I want using http://libgen.rs/ and so should you. If I find value in what I have stolen I will try and buy a DRM free copy of the work if it's available. I have 22k books in my curated ca

You will get over it. A certain degree of social dependence and external validation is fine. But if the lack of it makes you unhappy I'll take it as a hint that you have deep caverns in you mind, filled with extraordinary treasure, tha

Well this has worked great for Boeing, a once great American engineering company. On the other hand India has an excellent education system and highly skilled engineers, and any capital flow away from the five big cities in the world that s

Indians are not stupid. They understand market dynamics as well as anyone. At best you will get a 5% markdown, and instant flight once a 4% markdown opportunity comes up. This is not enough to cover for the many downsides to outsourcing.

The last week or so YouTube has consistently pushed Fox news feeds into my suggested view list. The only 'political' content I occasionally watch is stuff by Mark Blyth... Now I get that Google is just pimping the general outrage

I very much doubt a GUI interface is going to be faster than a text interface, in fact it will be the opposite. And then I'm wired to this one interface and have to poke around on lines with a mouse like its 1992. No thanks. Also I can

There are very many excellent Python web frameworks with motivated and active developer communities around today, and you will be fine using any of them. You can do 'lean' Django or 'fat' Flask, should you choose to. You

How does that matter in any meaningful way ? Are you building real-world software or fretting about problems that you don't actually have ?

That's hardly the standard. In 2020 you will write your code in Python using numpy and or numba and your done. I process 4 concurrent HD video streams in Python in real time on a 4 core embedded device.

90% of all stock trading the last 19 years was company buybacks. The fed has one job: liquidity. Mark Blyth's various commentries the last few weeks are very enlightening.

An asymptomatic presentation would not include a chest x-ray. People with visible lung lesions and 60% oxygenation levels doe not exhibit any symptoms. The body's warning system is wired to C02 concentrations, and C02 gets evacuated so

Getting a vaccine is not a given. We don't have a SARS, MERS or HIV vaccines, and its been multiple decades for some of those. Having a SARS-CoV2 vaccine in two years is wildly optimistic.

Most countries have online flora's and at lasses like https://www.ala.org.au/ (Atlas of live Australia). What is often missing is nice presentations and use case specific applications like this.

Peculiar world view this. A good chair costs $300, and is tax-deductible. And you can pick one that fits you perfectly. Why are you under the delusion that your co-workers are there to service your query queue ? Figure out how to help yours

That's just silly. Bankrupting Boeing does not destroy 140 years of aviation technology or make aeronautic engineers forget their training. Neither does it erase the thousands of aircraft flying today. All those assets that Boeing has

Yea its about that time again: someone is rewriting Emacs. Happens every few years or so. Not hating, just saying. Maybe one of these decades it may actually be better than the real thing.

I'm not selling them at a loss, if I can't get what I paid for them it means they are by definition worth less. Because I do not want them anymore it mean that that market has one less buyer so demand decreases by at least one. If

I really do appreciate the effort and the quality of the writeup, but this approach is a very inefficient and round-about way of going about things. You can do real-time number plate recognition on a Pi3/4 with a Coral TPU or Movidius
