Many parts of Rubocop have creatively named robocop references and names. Robocop itself is satire. I think actual tools and software used by police departments should be causing more offense.

I guess they didn't watch Robocop 3.

It's more interesting that they also walked on their heels like us which is apparently different from dinosaurs.

I thought blacklist was related to 'black out' meaning to censor something by blacking it out. I don't know, it's a cool word, words with colors in the names feel richer. Banlist/allowlist is simpler I guess, which is still nice.

Feels sluggish and scrolling is painful on my galaxy s6. It might be an old phone, but even so I can't recall any other websites being this slow.

Thank you for your feedback. We did not catch that, because we mainly focus on Desktop. Your point is added to our issue list. Really appreciate it!

I try to block all the web fonts I encounter. A lot of UI symbols aren't rendered which amusingly sometimes results in overlapping text descriptions. I just can't stand looking at certain fonts or ligatures and refuse to let a website decide how it renders text.

Can the same be done for smells?

What kind of movement is it?

Calling it a web of filaments doesn't paint a clear picture as to the movement itself.

Assuming it's synchronized, I think of child objects moving in sync with some kind of parent structure. That sounds ridiculous though.

I don't understand why you think it's ridiculous for child objects, which formed within a structure, to reflect characteristics of that structure.

The movements described in the article are mainly alignment and direction of axial rotation.

How exactly is wastewater distributed throughout the 500 acres? Article says a system of pipes. Is it percolating throughout the entirety of the pipes or are there just a few endpoints with massive ponds? Really interesting read.

It looks like drip irrigation. It is more efficient, especially in arid climates.

Are farm workers excluded because it's easier? Wouldn't matter I suppose just curious.

> obtaining accurate farming employment numbers is complicated by:

    - Self-employment
    - Unpaid family employment
    - Part-time or hobby farmers
    - Other partnerships

Not to mention that a lot of farming is done by undocumented workers, who don't necessarily appear on payrolls. It's hard to find people to do hard, dangerous, exhausting work for so little pay.

Isn't the true for other industries as well though, not just farming?

That is likely true, though there are some special, farm only ways to be employed such as the H-2A Visa of which there were 2.4 million in 2018 if I'm reading this right: https://www.ers.usda.gov/topics/farm-economy/farm-labor/#h2a.

My guess is the biggest reason that non-farm labor is tracked is because someone decades ago decided to do so and now if we want to do longitudinal comparisons we need to track the same thing.

It's an interesting enough statistic since there are areas that are very heavily agricultural and areas with very few farms and probably not as much mixing between the two compared to (for instance) manufacturing and clerical jobs which may happen in the same building.

Farm vs. Non-farm is a pretty common distinction when talking about labor markets if I'm not mistaken.

In addition to other mentioned reasons, farm work is also extremely seasonal.
