The TL;DR: There are 2 types of GMO corn: Insect Resistant and Glyphosate Resistant, (Glyphosate is a herbicide, so it can be sprayed on fields killing weeds but not resistant corn). Corn resistant to pests has less loss, therefore higher y

The article’s short on details - it’s not even clear if this was actually a remote hack - I always thought you neede physical access to change these, (but that once you have access making a change is trivial).

In the article there's a whole section about how hospitals are removing non-private, (aka "normal"), rooms, to replace them with more-profitable private rooms that patients pay for out-of-pocket, (and, since they're not

As someone who lives in a country with socialized medicine, (Canada), the discussion of hospitals removing "normal" (shared) rooms to replace them with more-profitable private rooms is disturbing. Here, private rooms have become t

Also, Canada's copyright laws in general are much saner than in the USA. For example, (unless it's changed recently - I know there's been discussion), if you have a copyrighted work, (say a CD), you're allowed to make a

Yes on both. I work in tech that services the trucking industry. Getting drivers, (and dispatchers, actually), to truly trust a computer is difficult. They use a lot of apps, but trucking's got a strong culture of self-reliance, and pe

This could be accounted for - for example, if the weight of everything drops by 100 grams, then at least 100 grams of water has been used or evaporated. Eventually any increase in weight from the plant could probably be calculated, but fo

Yeah, my understanding is they whitelist standard ports, and everything else is blocked. They say it's because of BitTorrent, but it prevented me from accessing a server on a non-standard port, so I didn't buy.

This is a stockholder recommendation and the Board of Directors is recommending [1] that stockholders vote against it, so it's likely dead in the water. The headline "to discuss" is a probably overstating what will actually h
