I see the gypsum misinformation continues to thrive in the gardening world. Please keep in mind while reading articles like this that this world is absolutely riddled with old wive's tales, misinformation and muddled correlations.

If you're interested in when gypsum will and (most likely) won't work for you, read this article. It's based on actual science and brings receipts.

Garden myths is a great site. Here is another similar article on how to determine when gypsum will work: https://www.ccmaknowledgebase.vic.gov.au/brown_book/07_Gypsu...


Fantastic resource which is sadly very America-centric. I searched multiple major Australian and NZ brands (Penright, Supercheap Auto, Marmite, Vegemite, Irwin, Bunnings, Enzed) with no or poor results. But every American brand I could think of is present.


Thanks for your kind words. Do not hesitate to suggest some additions. We've already added close to 100 user submissions over the last 3 days. It's also a nice way for some startups to gain a bit of exposure (you can provide a description and a link to your site).


They sure were! No need to read the rest of the comment!


What do you mean, so what? Have you not read the article under discussion?


Sure, an article where COIN wasn't mentioned. Given that COIN made a profit in 2020 and a very large profit in 2021 it's hard to place it as a VC cash burning company.

COIN had a bad quarter and expects to have another. Are we seeing a shift away from crypto and tech or repricing which things will continue again? I think it's too soon to tell, hence my so what. COIN needs tighten up and plan for what's next. It doesn't mean they need to assume crypto is going to zero and the company is over - yet.


Obviously.


No.

People who will happily continue using 15-year-old hardware are not a great market segment to target.


There's that, but happily isn't the word. Every year I'd go on a research spree to find a replacement but it had to be as small or smaller. Every year I came up empty so eked out another year on the old phone.

I'd happily replace more often if only palm-sized or smaller phones were available. I'm not particularly price sensitive either, I'll pay top premium price to get a conveniently-sized phone if someone is willing to sell it to me.


It's not always happily. There is no upgrade path for my S10e.


Law is law.


Math is law, everything else is a human opinion


This is true in a philosophical sense.

In a more practical sense (some) human opinion is influential enough to make that distinction useless

(Feel free to discuss the fundamental nature of laws with your cell mate)


Well, if your bicycle is stolen in a big city feel feel free to discuss how important the law is with an officer at your local station; you aren't going see it again.

The "law is law" response to "code is law" is terribly uninteresting. It's just semantic shuffling.


I don't think it is because "law is law" has physicial enforcement behind it (in many cases) while "code is law" doesn't (unless through the regular legal system which won't enforce "illegal" smart contracts)


Million Short also has an option to remove only e-commerce results which is invaluable if you still want results from sites like Twitter, Wikipedia and YouTube but don't want online shopping spam.


Would this also work for the fake-sites-stealing-text-to-look-legit sites since they quickly end up in the top results?


Because as a business we seek efficiency. And how can we know if we're efficient if we can't measure output? It's only natural to want to get the most out of your dollar from expensive resources like developers.
