I will praise the day when vertical farming becomes completely viable. No pesticides or herbicides of any sort. Grow vegetables and fruit in controlled environments. Focus on taste.

Hopefully they could be viable inside city limits thus precluding the need for transportation from rural areas.

Not sure how well that can scale. You'd have to provide more energy per square meter of land than the sun does, it seems?

Respectfully, is this really demonstrating the track record of that site or the track record of stories questioning the prevailing narrative about Covid on HN? There doesn't seem to be anything wrong with the flagged posts except for the fact that the HN community has chosen to remove them.

I can’t understand how we can ever discuss this topic if even legitimate sources with extensive academic references and scientific data are immediately banished.

It's the Atrazine lobby.

Yeah wtf is going on? I went back several pages and can't even find it
