Cool idea, but the amount of knowledge needed to grow crops successfully doesn't really boil down to a 'how to' format. Are you trying to be organic? Did you get a soil test? What sort of pests are there in your area? How many hours of sun does your plot have?

Point being, there are lots of common skills and local knowledge.

Why would you want to end rickrolling? It's like finding a peppercorn in your food. Sometimes unpleasant, but it's worth the risk.

You seriously just going roll right past MANGA like that?

Maybe not scalable to industrial processes, but it scales in time. A cutting can easily create a tree of the size that a seedling would take 3-5 years grow.

They could even get some wealthy and politically sympathetic billionaires to fund them. I'm betting a Koch-Musk University will have them salivating.

Lol @ the Bill Gates to middle aged woman with teardrop tattoo.

I would argue that they don't serve National Security, they threaten it. These cloud providers are selling the government on being their secret keepers, which secures them against regulation.

This thread has some serious brigading going on. University man doesn't like changing cultural norms, engages in bad faith actions to make those norms look ridiculous. People treat him like a pariah for doing it, and his work satisfaction suffers. It seems to me, not knowing this man personally, that he has taken the example of Socrates to heart. Believe so completely in an ideal, that you seal your own fate.

Contracts are written up front for two plus years of work. Waterfall. The DoD and contractors pretend to do agile in the middle by running everything through sprints, even though you can't change the plan. Water-agile-fall

Why is genocide in quotes?

This is going to end with a full on 'the moon is a harsh mistress' vibe.

Why you should give away your work for free... Don't listen. If you make something and want to share it with others, do so. But do it because you want to, not because some blog post guilt trips you into it.

Google will lose on purpose. The ruling is more valuable than the money they'll lose to oracle.

Also, don't use a GitHub page as a test for a client. Set up a reasonable bootstrap page and suddenly the domain by the same name was bought up.

If your product doesn't run connected to the internet, it is difficult to make the case for cloud development. You need developers who understand hardware, and abstraction layer cloud provides is a handicap instead of an enabler.

TLDR, birds have nothing to eat, and freeze to death if they stay in cold weather for too long. They are mobile, and move to places where that is not the case.

The answer is, it depends. PCIe is not a streaming interface, so the effective bandwidth depends on transaction type, latency, packet size, address depth, etc. etc. The only certainty is that it will not be anywhere close to 32gbps, that is line rate.
