Bangladesh farmers who grew GMO Bt brinjal made 55% more money than those who grew regular pesticide-needing type, according to a government study. India which actually developed this, stupidly banned it, depriving its farmers & consumers dhakatribune.com/business/2019/…

Link to the original paper by BD scientists: “Net returns per hectare were Tk. 179,602/ha for Bt eggplant as compared to Tk. 29,841/ha for non-Bt eggplant. Pesticides were applied 11 times to Bt eggplant where as it was 41 times to non- Bt eggplant for controlling sucking pests”

“The Bt eggplant farmers saved 61 percent of the pesticide cost compared to non-Bt eggplant farmers, experienced no losses due to fruit and shoot borer, and received higher net returns”

{thread} About the @EpicGames store and the misplaced outrage by some people in gaming.

Back in Dec, though some of us knew about it beforehand, Epic unveiled their own digital store.

It set the stage for a showdown (of sorts) with Steam

Amid the fanfare, even though Epic clearly outlined why they decided to do this, how they were going to make it different etc, a lot of people simply glossed over the implications and the motivation for doing this.

As I wrote in a 2009 blog on Gamastura (legacy game dev watering hole), Steam was precisely at the risk-taking cusp when they created Steam as a means to distribute their own games. Then they decided to curate other games, thus changing the landscape

@RealChangeNews is holding a pro/con panel on initiatives 1631 and 1634. Opening statements are done, but in short, 1631 is the proposed carbon tax and 1634 is the proposed tax on groceries.

1631 is up. The pro side said that this is not a tax that oil and gas companies can fully pass onto consumers, so maybe they'll take a hit. Also acknowledges that the environmental side has not considered marginalized groups in the past (732 in 2016). This time is different.

The con side is up. He says that 1631 will hit consumers in the pocket.

So, I was thinking about Nigeria's problems, and I came to the conclusion that, we do not know how to create wealth.

I want to teach 1000 people here, how to create wealth.

1000RTs and I'll start the lesson. Sorry it has to be worth my time.

Hi guys....Okay. I'm starting the wealth creation class.

Here we go....

Let me answer my wife first.

Okay...So this is gonna be a part series class, and I will teach it from my head, not based on any theoretical jargon or funny anecdotes. It is strictly proven advise from tested principles. Easily verifiable and can be done by anybody. I will use examples, when I can.
