What is a leaky vaccine?

The source you linked shows "Spring Wheat" at it's lowest projected production since 2012, which is how far back this goes. Winter wheat was obviously not affected by the heatwave, because it was already harvested by then.

https://www.nass.usda.gov/Charts_and_Maps/Field_Crops/swmap.... shows that yields per state vary, but anywhere from 22% down in ID to 46.8%.

The spring wheat crops are doing very poorly, and is very alarming.

They quote him in the article: Joshua Foer.

Interestingly enough, he went on to co-found Atlas Obscura (https://www.atlasobscura.com/users/josh)

But thats exactly the issue here. If they find a way to limit the data such that they can split who is "authorized" and who is not, then they have found something that falls under the now new reading of cfaa.

It's not going to stop scrapers from entities outside of the jurisdiction of the US legal system, but it's going to end up icing companies in the US who do this.

But I think Microsoft/Linked In is going to have a very difficult time redefining authorized when the data is publicly available to anonymous access.

"Based on my experience climate modeling and working with environmental papers" And what experience is that, exactly?

"Solution" and "Job" may be overstating things here. If all op needs is monitoring and alerting of a couple of machines, then Datadog/New Relic/Ops Genie/Pager Duty/Server Density/Pingdom/AppDynamics/Loupe/Sysdig/Dynatrace (just to name a few in the crowded space) are all likely overkill and not worth the cost.

A large portion of the cost of many of these tools is spent "choosing the right tool for the job" Figuring out what they do, what they do well, where they overlap, where the company that makes the tool is headed, how hard its going to be to swap that tool out for a better one (or cheaper one) - thats a lot of expense in labor and training.

That still remains to be seen, right? Wasn't the first release of gmo mosquitos only recently in Florida?

So is knocking out 45% of the East Coast's supply of diesel, petrol and jet fuel,

or nearly 100% of the worlds shipping trade (https://www.zdnet.com/article/all-four-of-the-worlds-largest...)

Or various other industries: https://www.acronis.com/en-us/articles/nhs-cyber-attack/#:~:....

Every company that is not making major financial investments in securing their infrastructures against cybersecurity attacks are really just waiting for "Not if but when".

“This is just another black swan event, so to speak, that the producers and consumers both suffer from,”

Im pretty sure theres nothing black swan about cybersecurity attacks when they are as frequent as they are, across all industries.

3. The number of "good" roles is also dramatically expanded.

There are comments on this article from 3 years ago.. when is this from?

And we are listening to the wild speculations of a random content marketer with nothing to back up their assertions because.. why?

The stuff I've had is noticeably sweeter, but with a nicer, lighter flavor. And yeah, theres really no better way to use it than with a spice grinder, but thats pretty much true of any dried spice.

Im really curious what you mean by 'the interior'... did you try and put them whole into something?

Anyhow, the quality/age/handling of the spice you get is very strongly going to determine whether or not you're getting the real deal. Spices can oxidize quickly.

Anyhow, I think long pepper is fantastic and shines really well in certain applications ( mostly those where its really contrasted by food that doesnt already have a strong flavor profile, like, a hard boiled egg or mashed potatoes.)

They havent, or at least any search on 'thermapen' or 'thermoworks' does not list that as a brand in the sidebar.

There is a nonzero percentage of people reading this that know that Fluke is a brand of scientific/industrial test and measuremnet gear. https://www.fluke.com/

The search says it expired.. but nevertheless this is pretty bold.

If a vendor we were working with lost a third of their employees, I would question whether that vendor would be a good long term relationship, regardless of what caused the exodus.

I think the main issue with using programming languages to run your CI/CD is that the whole point of CI/CD is to test and verify that your code works. Now you have code that may or may not be buggy, running your CI/CD so you'll have to set up CI/CD to test your test running code, ad nauseum.

People might hate constrained configuration, but the idea is that you dont have to prove that what you're configuring is actually whats happening.

Fascinating that we have so much history recorded on what started as insect secretions (shellac).

I feel like the old Perl saying "There's more than one way to do it" Is what makes Perl a powerful tool for an individual, and an impediment to progress in an organization.

It's possible to be expressive enough in perl that your colleagues cant really fully understand what it is you're trying to accomplish.

Despite being a nerd from way back that had a 2400 baud modem in my c64, I have avoided IOT devices as long as possible, precisely for the reasons that the author describes (privacy, security, and failure to distinguish between service or object).

However, sometimes it becomes unavoidable. After a recent diagnosis with sleep apnea, I got a cpap machine, which has a cellular network connection in it, which connects to a centralized service where the sleep technicians can tune the device to deliver the right pressure for my sleeping patterns. What it also did was allow my insurance company to know how much I was using the device, in order to decide whether it was going to pay for it or not.

So, I really don't see how I could have avoided this IOT device and received treatment.

On the other hand, no hacker is going to be able to compromise my network via this device, so maybe this truly is a better path forward for IOT devices?

The very first night I got the camera set up was the night that there was a level 3 outage and major internet snafu, making it so that I couldnt actually get into the app to view the camera. RTSP mode sounds pretty good at this point with only one camera.

(Ignoring the fact that Ubiquity marketed these cameras as having a speaker, when, in fact, you cannot send audio to the camera, only that it makes noise on its own)

I bought one of their security cameras to act as a nursery cam last year, which I could later convert into a home security camera.

The 'in house' software, unifi-video, was discontinued 3 months after I got it set up. All of the apps I use to connect to the system have been pulled from the app store, and you now have to use their camera controller for the one camera, vs the software Im running on my linux box.

Their controller is much more limited, and many, many security camera installers were caught off guard with no path forward for their customers. It's a nightmare of a shitshow and I would never in a million years recommend Ubiquiti as a company at this point.

A supply chain attack to get a backdoor into curl wouldn't involve any of the methods he describes in his blog post, it would involve putting the backdoor into one of the dependencies that curl uses such that when curl is compiled using the tainted lib, you end up with a backdoored curl.

Are there any libs in https://github.com/curl/curl/blob/master/configure.ac that do not have the same level of rigor in testing that curl does?

Getting a backdoor into curl would mean seeking out the weakest link in the dependency chain.

In my 28+ years of working with tar files I have ran into issues exactly zero times with being able to tar or untar something.

Im sure if you're deeper down the stack this ends up being one of those nuanced peas under a mattress, but Im guessing that 99% of people who use tar do not run into issues using tar.

"It should go without saying that everyone should be able to freely choose the operating system to run on their personal computers"

I think this is an antiquated idea that presupposes that the definition of the product you are buying from a company is a "general purpose computing device".

The overwhelming majority of users of devices just want the value that a product maker offers. We're now completely surrounded by devices that offer no such freedoms, and we're completely reliant on networked services where we also have no choice in the matter.

Should I be able to sue google for including chrome os on chromebooks? Apple for preinstalling osx? Android? Ios? What about the os for my cars' display, or my smart tv?

This feels like trying to force a company to offer a product that somebody wishes they offered.

It's probably a whole lot better than getting a contractor to reverse engineer the technical data and then building the compatible parts.

Sometimes those commonly used packages end up being whatever dumb algorithm the author came up with, and nobody spends the time to verify if the package is worth it's popularity.

Our standups (for a team of four) are about 15 minutes. Then we just leave the zoom on and co-work together out loud for an hour or two. It's pretty priceless the stuff that comes up during that time.
