I've been getting a ton of spam on my gmail account for a while now and my curiosity led me right back to HN where apparently people have been noticing this for months already - as of 57 days ago. Did anything ever come of this thread? Will spam filtering ever be fixed on gmail? I always thought gmail spam filtering was supposed to be the best - is there a better option I should be considering?
I don't buy organic food because I think it's healthier either btw. I do it because of the environmental impacts - same reason I buy local as much as possible via CSAs for my meat and veggies - whether they are certified organic or not (you can usually find a local farm that has practices just as good or better than certified organic anyways). It's super ironic to me that people think they're being environmentally friendly or saving the earth with GMO non-organic food just because it isn't meat. For all the conspiracies around Bill Gates I think his ideas of using tech to save the environment are scarier because it's actually ignoring science.
