Restoration agriculture done right in rural Wisconsin, by engineer and accidental permaculture expert Mark Shepard.

You have too much time. By the way, define "vacuous". My first "+1" was frugal, never "vacuous". HN doesn't deserve me to share my nuclear knowledge anymore, after all this "superuser rage".

My comment was "frugal". But good. Definition of frugal: "Economical in the use or appropriation of resources; not wasteful or lavish; wise in the expenditure or application of force, materials, time, etc.; characterised by frugality; sparing; economical; saving; as, a frugal housekeeper; frugal of time."

So here it ends my last comment on HN.

+1

Also, informing this is my last day at Hacker News as an active user. Will limit myself to see the feeds once on a while. Thank you.

Look at how coal is being used in Germany to produce energy. Nobody seems to complain about it. Coal is subsidized, because of fear of losing votes and strikes from coal miners.

+1.

Keep downgrading the comment, superusers. Someday you'll end up keeping the place clean, the Digg way, after users just left.

+1.

I get it. But do you need to use "fucking" and capital letters in "SPACE"?

I'm sure you also like hip hop lyrics.

This is irrelevant. It's PR. Short as well. I don't understand why it got to the feed. Unless some users are voting after an order.

Are you sure? If you have time, re-read the article.

Libertarian accountability for all. Individual democracies of 1 person. All human beings becoming literate craft-tech-open-source-hardwate tech people. Pantheism. Gaia.

You guys should look at Ireland. Ireland has a bottomless bail-out. Spain doesn't.

Anglos and their bias.

How many times did you post this. It must be a joke at this point. HN getting... Well...

We tried to make things really simple in our site. Goal: content is king. The rest, should fade away from user's attention.

Short of what Jeff Bezos is trying with the Kindle reading experience.

English, Spanish and Catalan here. All of them as mother tongues.

Yes.

Using capital letters is similar to screaming, according to conventions understood by everyone.

I'd like to see some data on your statements here. It sounds a bit dogmatic, to say something is dogmatic without actually rebate it with ideas and data.

To "print". Mm...

Climate change deniers, tap water warners... Dangerous groups in the Internet these days.

I don't want to sound cynical, but what doesn't work is the producction of oil via using tar sands and polluting most of Canada's MidWest.

A brilliant response. Though I don't want to sound populistic here, this enterprise we are talking about is the one that created the disaster in Alaska with the oil spill. For those who don't believe in climate change (either the created by man, the created by man + nature or both), they may believe in the consequences of oil spills.

What I see is that no North-American heavyweights are endorsing the editorial. Not even middle weights from "progressive" cities such as San Francisco, Portland, Seattle, Austin, Denver and the like.

I wonder if ClimateGate had anything to do with that. The New York Times didn't have any issue to remain at least "not clear" when US attacked Irak with claims that proved to be false. Then the same newspaper endorsed Hillay Clinton at the beginning of the last US presidential campaign. They "converted" to Barack Obama's cause later on.

I see big media in the US not willing to show an strong opinion in this topic. Media will be able to weigth and remember each other's position on this in 20-30 years.

Aren't editorials to lead in specially tough decisions? Or it's just me who didn't understand that concept in journalism school 10 years ago?

Impressive garden. A good thing about this kind of "permanent" work with edible food is realizing it would be recognized and enjoyed by one young person today, a person 1 generation ago, a person 2 generations ago, 3,4,5 and on.

Interesting. Thank you for sharing.

ExxonMobil. Mm.

I'm a Spotify user. If MOG is like the first, once you try it, you realize how disruptive this concept is. I'm an audiophile, and Spotify was big news to me since the 1st minute using it.

A service like Spotify has the potential to reduce piracy dramatically in the middle term, way more than iTunes. Maybe end with it.

NeXT could have ended in the perfect Linux distro, open sourced, leading the Linux kernel development, making the distros environment even richer (Mac Linux for mac users, Ubuntu-Debian & similars for those who don't buy Apple hardware, Chrome OS for netbookers; and minoritary distros for the ones who tweak their own flavor.)

The world would be a better place.

The hardware? Some has been good. Some really advanced to their time. Some G4Cube-ish.

I have to admit the guy is brilliant.

This is getting nastier as we are getting close to COP15, which USA and China will attend, as they officially announced.

An advice: be aware of what's being told, take a look at different sources, consume different media and keep your eyes open. There's a big interest in blocking any climate negotiation.

Isn't it a bit strange that this comes just weeks before COP15 in Copenhagen, the same summit the United States and China will not take seriously?

Lobbyist already working on it, as I see.
