The profit comes from a quick grow cycle of high-value greens. Vegetables that take longer to grow than radishes (such as wheat) or that require more resources (such as potatoes which need actual soil), then the profit margins fall.
So, no, you can't grow other stuff there "profitably."
Same reason you can tell where sandstone turns to shale out west; it's where ranches turn into farms.
Yup. It sounds to me like someone has reinvented Reader's Digest for this century--fully automated but otherwise similar, showing ez2consume infobites about popular topics to the general viewer. "Oh the humanity."
The reason we still use court reporters at hearings, depositions and trials is because they can distinguish between voices when folks talk over the top of each other. That's why tape/digital recorders haven't replaced live stenographers. Not yet. That might be the real market for this google product: automated production of transcripts from depositions.
Security questions are like questions on Family Feud. They don't have to be correct, just consistent.
Name a city in in Canada.
Cancun!!!
Bing! Number two on the Family Feud board--2nd most popular answer from their audience.
If I say my favorite colour is "clear" and respond with that when questioned, I get in.
I don't give honest answers to the security questions, but I do give answers I can remember.
What was the name of your elementary school? Blue.
What was the name of your first pet? Blue
What is your favorite color? Ticonderoga.
"The calls are described in the Elk Grove reports as "NSI," or non-service initialized, because they originate from devices that haven't yet been activated. According to the manager, Apple said that turning off emergency calls for an unactivated phone was not an option because of Federal Communications Commission regulations."
Seems like most of the women mentioned are executives, which isn't the same as technical leadership. I don't know of any recent _famous_ women techies. If I was asked, I would have said Grace Hopper or Ada Lovelace. Maybe Hillary Clinton since she ran her own email server;-)
That's where a lot of armchair analysts and Libertarian wannabes miss the mark. My city implemented a new bus line at a cost of $200 million. The local paper had a race between a car, a bike and a bus rider.
That makes for good clickbait but that isn't the measurement to make if you're trying to run a city efficiently. Let's try moving 10,000 people by car (say 7,000 cars), then by 10,000 bicycles, and then by the number of bus trips.
"Winning" is an entirely different measure than mere time.
That was from the Obama administration. USDA now has a department-wide restriction on telework. Everyone is supposed to come in at least 4 days a week. Probably part of that whole "global warming is a Chinese hoax" being pushed by the President's appointees.
I had to go down to Denver for a week-long training session. First day, I left at 7:30 and got there at 9 right when it started. Except they had coffee and donuts and didn't start until 9:15 (and they weren't handing out tardy demerits).
Next day, I leave at 7:45. Get there at 9 again. Huh? Maybe difference between Monday and Tuesday.
Wednesday morning, I leave at 8 and get there at 9 and still have coffee and donuts.
Congestion is an interesting thing. You might be able to ride the wave later and still get there on time.
One problem is that car reduction is _not_ happening. Many of the riders being pulled into Uber and Lyft (and hence the autonomous vehicles too) are being pulled off of busses and bicycles, not out of their own vehicle. That was an interesting finding.
Easier access to maps does increase traffic on non-arterial roads. Poor route-mapping routines exacerbate the issue.
There are many ways to lose a trade war. I'm not that thrilled about the Chinese government, but for anybody who's a true-blue (or red) free marketer, which is better (i.e., more profitable):
A. a market of 340 million Americans
B. a market of 1.4 billion Chinese, or
C. a market of 7 billion humans?
That would have been 3-5 days shutdown. That's not possible for major arteries. It would have to be shutdown from the time it hoisted itself into place until the time all the cables, ties and piers were stabilized and connected.
There was sudden failure. I don't think that would come from tension cables giving way. It was some kind of block construction and one of the block connections pulled apart (the piers weren't fully stabilized) or else the connection failed.
The reason I _would_ count on cracking being an important issue is because one of the Bridge Engineers thought it was important enough to make a phone call. He wouldn't do that for normal cracking in cured concrete (something I wouldn't expect in newly cast parts delivered from off-site).
I saw a CNBC actual physical store in the Charlotte NC airport selling magazines and stuff.
Media isn't dead and once you've filled your entire marketing niche, you need to expand elsewhere or not expand at all.
Best fun ever.
Pull up first in the right lane of a 4-lane road that also has a left turn light full of folks.
left red red
---- ------ ------
car TRGT you
If the guy in the left lane is dinking with his phone or gps system or his dink itself, as soon as the left turn lane flicks, try to go just as the cars on his left go. You don't have to floor it, just move up fartherllike most folks do after they've been at a red light for too long. Just do it at the right time.
Watch what happens.
Yup. Write a hello world web page in straight html. If that felt like fun, add a button and some javascript. It's pretty damned easy and there are zillions of web pages that show you how to do simple stuff.
Pre-1995, there weren't any web pages to peruse and _if_ you had an internet connection, all you could do was ask for help on usenet which was full of foul-mouthed trolls and old fuddy duddies telling you to RTFM kind of like slashdot and wikipedia are nowadays.
It's a lot easier to program now unless you're trying to program in java or trying to use your smartphone.
_every_ employee has to do it or else it isn't a problem? What city in Russia are you trolling from? So guns aren't a problem because not enough people die? Seatbelts are a waste of time because not everyone who gets in an accident dies? sheesh.

So can we stop teaching cursive in elementary school now? I hated writing the same-sized letters in the notebook with all the lines.

He's probably telling the truth. And as long as he has no friends, then they didn't lose their data either.
That's exactly what it is. From the article:
"The calls are described in the Elk Grove reports as "NSI," or non-service initialized, because they originate from devices that haven't yet been activated. According to the manager, Apple said that turning off emergency calls for an unactivated phone was not an option because of Federal Communications Commission regulations."
on-line drama has nothing to do with age. Look at Wikipedia. Or usenet, bbs system full of old-timers having religious wars about C syntax.

Try waiting.

It would be easier to have the bots/script parse the article for the answers than actually reading and remembering the content.
I'm pretty sure that's all I do, and I'm pretty sure I'm not a bot.
You read the article and with every sentence you wonder if this is going to be on the test.

Can you just text the ticket to me officer? I'm in a hurry.
Got places to go, Instagrams to send, and fBook pages to update.
