Well, I didn't say that anything nature-related is ought to be good and desirable. What I meant is that 'conventional food' yet has to be proven to be equally safe as food that was not genetically tampered with, grown without using pesticides, etc. pp.

And quite honestly, I doubt that Moore had genetic engineering and todays massive (ab)use of pesticides in mind when he first stated that law. He might even have added an exception ...

And organically-grown food have been eating it for EONS with no major, obvious consequences. 'Conventionally-grown food' have just been thrown on the market a few decades ago without knowing any long-term effects to humans eating them or to the environment they are grown in. I don't care about proof for equivalence or difference, I only care about safety. And any food should be proven to be safe BEFORE being released, not decades later.

Ha, yeah sure, we need to proof that natures goods are fine the way they are supposed to be, but highly manipulated goods don't. That kind of thinking is one of the reasons why so many people fear TTIP. Please stay on your side of the Atlantic.

> I'm still not convinced that organic is nutritionally superior or has levels of pesticides that prove harmful to humans.

I'm curious what convinced you that they are equally healthy in the first place?

Naming alternative services in a news about some other service being bought/shutdown isn't really advertising. It's care.

Ask HN: Has anyone ever considered "MS Access a viable option"?

Nice template indeed, used it for my resume as well. Had to alter it to fit German application standards, though (e.g. added a portrait in the side bar, different fonts, etc).

That's a rather weird use case, tbh. I doubt many people edit their resume on a daily/weekly basis. Everyone I know update theirs rarely and they take their time to make it properly to not have any errors in it. So setting up LaTeX is part of the process, while keeping the actual CV code in a repo.

Who would want to work at a company that can't open a PDF file?

I can't use postman easily. I don't have a Google account. What do I do?

> There is a lot of truth in the idea that doing something like colonizing mars could do more good for humanity than giving people enough money to eat for a day or a week.

How about doing neither and instead use the money to solve some of the problems the earth suffers from today? Colonizing Mars, seriously, wtf ...

Also, backing up Emails is super simple, just fire up any mail client ...

> What should FFmpeg have been written in?

There'll be a HN topic A FFmpeg reimplementation in JavaScript soon enough ...

> They're not exactly as supported, because they're not on by default

I really don't get this. In almost any software there are features that are not 'on by default', but it's still implemented and supported (except explicitly stated otherwise). How can this be a reason to not use the functionality when you need it?
