That article you linked doesn't mention Xochimilco at all so I have no clue what you're quoting. I can't find a single source for your 80 tons claim (other than some blog post that cites another blog post), which if true and

Who cares? Fertilizer is nitrogen that literally comes out of the air. Erosion is vastly overstated by permaculture enthusiasts and can be mitigated vy changes to tillage and irrigation. Erosion in the Midwest clocks in at about 0.04 mm per

To a large degree you can't choose how the DoD or other letter agency uses what they buy from you. Obviously you can set some contractual guardrails but realistically if you build drones that can mount hellfire missiles you have to kno

by ch4s3 6mo ago
Yeah, for sure. Defense contracting is as good or bad as the policies of the government which is going to change over time. All else being equal, if we want to live in a safe and successful society we want good/talented people working

But we’re they at the scene or did they just bump into someone or something that was there?

makes sense. I'll keep an eye on your site.

Being able to read something in one sitting doesn't make it simple or obvious. The law establishes a board that gets to set new requirements.
282.
by ch4s3 6mo ago
The law mandates a data protection officer with specific duties. It also establishes a board that "issue guidelines, recommendations, and best practices" which is where administrative complication and nonsense always creeps in.

You can't just bury literally anything in an EULA. There's a fair amount of case law establishing that EULAs clauses that are surprising or illegal aren't enforceable.

Very cool. Anything open source/on github?

GDPR like all EU regulation is needlessly complicated and aimed at a compliance model that seems designed for SAP.

I should have been a bit more clear. We should ban retention for any purposes where it is not explicitly required for the intended function and clearly agreed to by all parties. Think somethig like strava or asset tracking. You know it stor

IMO we should ban gathering this data without a warrant or specific contractual agreement between the device owner and entity aggregating the data. As much as congress loves to claim the interstate commerce theory of everything, this seems

I'm not sure what you use ti for, but your website is beautiful and your work is really striking.

Care to explain what you mean specifically?

Would you expect that job to not pay well in a market where similar skills are directly transferable to running any mid sized corporation?

I am merely commenting that profit seeking is not a sufficient explanation.

by ch4s3 6mo ago
No but it directly contradicts OP's claim of "profit-seeking interests".

The private insurance expenditure is part of that per capita number. US healthcare isn't "A system", its a number of interrelated systems that have lots of expensive hand-offs. We also spend a ton on lifestyles diseases becau

A lot just gets sucked up by 3rd parties of all stripes. Only ~20% of hospitals are for profit institutions for example.

I once worked in an office that told everyone they had to stop wearing them. They are hideous and smell terrible at an impressive range.

I personally welcome the new GPUs that smell like wet dog and look like a old subway sandwiched left in the rain.

There is precisely 0 methanol risk in distilling grain based alcohol. The quantity of methanol produced is minuscule a the antidote is ethanol which is also present. Any methanol poisoning is from adulteration with industrial alcohol which

Speaking as a brewer, I can tell you that tons of people who should know better actually believe the methanol thing and will even quote some sciency words to make their argument. I think its a case of bad information coming from black marke
