A mixed strategy of say 75% British / 25% Canadian wheat could be an interesting point to explore. Then, you would get 75% of the local support benefit while having a potentially better product. (ratios theoretical; you know more than

Does anyone know whether GNU Taler is involved in any way with these proposals? I feel like they'd be the natural people to work on anonymity. Looking at their website, I see that they've at least commented on them: https:/&

Would it be correct to say that this is an example of the “Actually Serial Execution” strategy for implementing serializable transactions in the terminology of “Designing Data Intensive Applications”? (I mention this mainly as a keyword tha

Yeah... I do have some issues with the book. I think that the cards tend to be weighted towards things that women care more about, which naturally means that women end up being responsible for more of them. And different cards require diff

There’s a pretty interesting self-help book that is designed to help couples share domestic and family work equally; I thought it was an interesting read. It makes exactly the same point about rockstar husbands that contribute less than the

On the reddit mobile app, the same action (tapping) that minimizes a comment also clicks through an ad, and ads are visually very similar to comments. Many times a day, I will accidentally click on an ad when intending to minimize a comment

This is a really well-written short article, and I agree with it completely. I just wanted to add as well that, as someone who has read quite a lot of books on self-help and productivity, there is one that makes a lot of similar points: &qu

That could definitely be it. I didn’t get a clear view of the driver’s seat, so I don’t know whether or not the driver was manually controlling it.

I personally saw a Waymo in NYC on June 26th at 14th St and 8th Avenue, so they’ve done some recent testing at least.

Wow, it seems like this might beat out flite for very-low-memory TTS? I ended up abandoning a project of mine because I couldn't get high enough quality or low enough memory usage out of flite, so I'm very excited to try this out.

The part that confuses me is that they use “it” to name a variable that is not actually an iterator. That’s very bad style. I would name it “s”.

This is awesome. Congrats on shipping! The nearest thing that I've heard of is Wolfram Alpha's step-by-step solution solvers, but the worry with those is always that it's too easy for the student to just keep clicking next st

It's a question of "value created" vs "value captured". They captured about as much value as the risk-free rate of return. Value that is created but not captured (e.g. the value of consumers enjoying games and conso

It seems like this cell barely evolves, because the system they built for duplicating the DNA makes very few errors. Natural life tends to evolve, which may have consequences for production. For example, quorn production has to be restarted

This is the first that I'm hearing about this, but I don't think that your telling is quite right. The Dallas school district is "Dallas ISD", not Dallas County Schools. Dallas County Schools was apparently a school bus

Done. That was quite interesting, although I see what you mean. I did skip over some of the sections about how to teach concept maps to elementary school students and some of the examples given. I think my conclusion is that he's proba

That is cool, although it took me awhile to understand it because the posterior probability is on the left and the prior probability is on the right, and because it uses D=Disease and T=Test when I am used to seeing D=Data.

I just skimmed the summary but in the results section it reports three significant results and two after “multiple-test correction”. I’m not sure how they did that correction; I would expect that measures of cognitive performance are correl

I typically do the same algorithm for each solution, but I do try to write it in an idiomatic way to each language. I usually look at the editorial after the first solve to see if I missed any tricks or other approaches, and sometimes I’ll
