This article doesn't actually refute the main claims: Cities (such as the one I live in) only allow "fruitless" varieties to be planted on the streets. These varieties are generally of the full male variety, and thus only p

Tree's are made of fairly well insulated materials and contain a vast amount of chemical reactions going on, they are also elevated from the ground, so they can experience the tribolectric effect (transfer of electrons through friction

Similarly, female trees are charged to attract pollen to them. In most cities (in the US) trees planted on streets aren't allowed to be fruiting (because of rats?). Most fruitless/litterless trees are just the Dioecious male var

Sadly this only supports wasm3 (WebAssembly 1.0) and doesn't yet have a Linux installation (Windows and Mac only). So no WasmGC (modern garbage collection included version).

I'd assume that is because they take on jobs that they'll be happy with, instead of what ever job makes the most money. If you're content with what you do, you can do it sustainably for the rest of your life, if your only mo

Understood, I'm not suggesting that your feedback would make an appreciable change to the model, but provide "human" data for refinement. Continuous feedback from each user would supply more data than having a static model.

If that is the case, why don't AI models have built in feedback loops, where the humans that use them can continuously work with the model and provide further human data. The edge models can then merge in their modifications to a publ

Northern California in the central valley has been hitting 117F (47C) this summer, but the humidity is in the low 20%, so you're body can still cool itself. I can't imagine 90% humidity.

It's not uncommon to give subsidies for folks that can't afford modern conveniences (free phones, food, housing). I could imagine one could give out tokens, or pay cards that are only usable for bathrooms to those who can't

Weigh your cut vegetables, then add 2-4% salt by weight. Thoroughly mix it in a glass bowl by hands and let it weep out water. Let it sit in a jar with weights to keep the vegetables below the brine water level. After a few days (depend

Not quite true, you can utilize peer to peer (p2p) storage options, where only the individuals that are allowed to edit and view the document/media/file do storage. Really you only need one peer that has an IP address to do NAT t

Yeah, I was thinking about that...you'd likely need wings that could be pulled in close at higher speeds/altitudes or to not go quite as high. I would be happy for the later...just get rid energy needs of gaining altitude in a gl

Honestly learning to cook, and buying bulk goods is the way to go. During the pandemic I started buying 25-50 lb bags of flour, rice, beans, field corn (with a 1lb of calcium hydroxide to make masa harina), peanuts, raisins, rolled oats and

I'd love to see a version of this where each passenger is in a glider, allowing a long distance controlled decent to a new destination. Maybe even use reusable balloons filled with hydrogen, that can be depleted with a fuel cell to cre

OO and Relational databases really don't mix well, so much that there are wikipedia articles on the subject [0]. ORMs create some of the worst SQL table layouts that I've ever seen, not to mention they generally cause tons of N+1

I haven't seen much innovation in the HAM spectrum, but I do some fun stuff done with Lora, and mesh networks by flashing routers with custom version of OpenWRT. Honestly I think the problem with the HAM spectrum is that it doesn'

To answer my own question: potassium rhodizonate mixed with glacial vinegar creates a visual test for lead. I assume that I could grind up the food, test the slurry and then maybe do a more in depth test involving putting the food in a kil

Yeah, City Slickers in Oakland stopped testing the soil and just told everyone that they should use raised beds. Problem is that there are so many fruit trees and self starting plants that I want to eat (I'm looking at you collards),

Anyone know a simple method of testing for lead in food? Say a wet chemistry method? I live in California, and I've noticed that everything has a CA Proposition 65 warning label. When I look into it it's generally lead that has

Grass fed beef maybe, but the majority of cows are being fed grain, broken potato chips, and soy...all of which are suitable for human consumption. Even taking into account what cows can consume, the organic matter would be better used grow

I've had this nagging worry that my voice will be harvested during a random call acting like a sales person or survey. Besides getting money from family members, I really can't think of a scenario where my voice would allow a sca

I think you could get away with two insulated reservoirs (frozen and hot water) and then use something like glycol, alcohol or water to shuttle hot and cold to your shower, under floor heating/cooling. Frozen water can be mechanically

I believe the Merchant (Payee) and User (Payer) can choose whatever currency they want to put in their wallet, and it's up to the Exchange to do the conversion. The nice thing is that the payer is anonymous while the merchants account

iPhone 4 was a great size and looked great, but the sharp edges would wear through your jeans in a way that the earlier iPhones did not. That's my only complaint.
