"Slowness never demands attention the way breakage does.". "A harness built for performance engineering changes the accounting." Please make it stop. How do I get off this train?

Yes, honest person that I am even I think “is the reason this isn’t working because I am not capable of gaming the system”. But all that money goes to farms orders of magnitude bigger anyway.

Well, I should say it was sheep —> artisan cheese, which is in my view one of the few paths to viability for a small sized farm. It’s definitely not big enough for producing a commodity profitably. And farming takes either generational w

I want to address something mentioned in the article about people wishing for for grounded occupations. I have a sheep farm and I could not keep it running without my tech salary. So I kinda view these as false escapes. Unless forced to o

This is fascinating! I'm going to try this on a certain clip from Jurassic Park.

As someone who raises horses and other animals, I can say with pretty high certainty that most of the horses were not allowed to "retire". Horses are expensive and time-consuming to care for, and with no practical use, most horses

Was wondering about that but then came across this passage in the paper: “ The last date on which a transient was observed within a nuclear testing window in this dataset was March 17, 1956, despite there being an additional 38 above-ground

Forget the "AI" label, this has been a goal of pricing people for ever. Who knows how good they are at it (note: used to work for a consulting company that specialized soley in pricing) Somewhere in there, there's a model try

I love videos like this. Shenzhen looks like a great urban environment. But ... on a second watching all I could see were the cameras everywhere.

My solution when I lived near a museum I liked (the MFA in Boston, USA) was to get a membership and go once every week or two and only spend half an hour to an hour, in one specific room or exhibit. When I'm visiting, I try to look a m

My variation is that i heat the chamber until the water boils, alone. Then turn off the heat, plop in the portafilter, screw on the top, and turn the heat on low and watch it until the coffee coming out turns from brown to clear-ish and sta

Oh my brain edited out the "unfair" part in the original question, I assumed it was just asking about higher value/tax. I think that an urban farm, baring some very extenuating circumstance, is an enormous waste of space. And

So in the article, it actually says "U.S. auto dealers will be able to sell vehicles on the tech company's platform". This implies dealers aren't out of the loop -- but the only thing I care about is : is pricing going t

If you own a farm in a city or area with high housing demand, yes, I think it would. (edit: and I'm not meaning this to be a sarcastic response -- there are urban farms).

I know that these kind of write-ups by universities tend to overstate the importance of research. However, it's nice to see a write up that at least on the surface goes into some fairly interesting detail and actually does NOT seem to

Right, network effects -- benefits accrue as power of population size. That's a good point. And the stagnation is a depressing thought. I naively hope that if we can survive this phase of our existence we will find a way to exist in la

I'm one of those people who often says "the problem is that there are just too many people." But I hadn't ever really thought about the hypothesis that the "good idea" yield was low enough that you needed a lar

That's how it always starts! :) I think the origins of the state in agrarian societies is super interesting. Does it start organically (like you and your neighbors agreeing paying a small % for a security service) and then one day you

I think this idea is also present in the work of James C. Scott, author of "Against the Grain". But I think he was talking about this in the context of it being easier for governments to "steal" grains (and just subjugat

Yeah, beech bark disease was actually introduced from Europe, to Halifax in the late 1800's. (well, i should say, the insect part was. The mechanism is that the scale insect creates an opening for the native-to-North America fungi in t

How long did it take between when you first noticed something and the decision to try to treat and then remove?
