Not just alfalfa.... California imports water via lettuce from Mexico apples from South America.
It is important to know that there is two way water commerce going on.
Beef is interesting because in much of the world beef eat grass where grass is the most productive crop. Cows can digest grass but not so much people. Grass fed beef is often finished in feedlots to add fat and marble the meat. In addition the yellowish grass fed fat changes color and flavor to a more marketable white.
Corn and corn stalk silage permit local production but the corn has a terrible pH impact on the animal and antibiotics are often used to keep them healthy.
A lot of food and feedstock does not ship well and we demand much of it year round in contrast to seasonal local production.
The pH impact of corn on the gut of a cow is a lesson for humans. We eat a lot of things but not the variety or seasonal diet of our ancestors. Our health might improve by moving to a local seasonal diet and only supplement that daily diet with modest imports.
We also need to eat more than just the "choice" cuts of meat. Many organs and even the skin of some animals contain vitamins and minerals in abundance but are shunned for marketing, silly or cultural reasons.
I recommend reading the book "Gulp" by Mary Roach. She touches on this topic in an eye opening easy going style. Support and check your local library or just buy it.
Whoever willfully photographs, videotapes or electronically surveils another person who is nude or partially nude, with the intent to secretly conduct or hide such activity, when the other person in such place and circumstance would have a reasonable expectation of privacy in not being so photographed, videotaped or electronically surveilled, and without that person’s knowledge and consent, shall be punished by imprisonment in the house of correction for not more than 21/2 years or by a fine of not more than $5,000, or by both such fine and imprisonment.
I really hope that "21/2 years" is a typo on the Mass. legislature's website, and not the actual text of the law.
Please define partially nude!
Please define knowledge and consent.
Consider a celebrity at a photo shoot but your angle was not expected. Consider a celebrity photo of an individual found not to have undergarments under a gown. All photos would have been of an individual partially nude just not demonstrating this nudity.
Almost all paparazzi activity is covered by this.... The intent of paparazzi is exactly this...
Some day in the future "He" will come down and let us all know how foolish or clever we have been.
Until that day -- settled science might be settled in the context of known data. Add a body of "new" knowledge and data then revisit what is known.
Newtonian physics is a good example. It solved most if not all of the problems at hand within the reach of instrumentation of the day. There were however a number of later measurements that were unexplained as methods improved. Orbit of Mercury was one IIRC... at which point Albert and friends explored new solutions.
Today... with the exception of dark matter and dark energy there are rare examples of unexplained data. Some particle physics research has taken a different approach and by the exploration of a model attempt to discover something that has yet to be observed.
Molecular biology is odd in that we know that we do not know very much at all.
Freedom of speech only goes so far. We all know that shouting fire when there is none can get you in a raft of trouble. Should someone die in the crush to exit murder becomes one of the long list of charges.
Newsweek has responsibility and owns much of the consequences for their actions. Should there be inconveniences I can see a tort. Should there be damages I can see civil and criminal actions. Should there be bodily harm... jail time for all in the decision process and serious financial penalty for Newsweek the company.
Let's say you live in an apartment building and you can see 16 different SSIDs. Is it slow because.....snip...
Someone needs to make a reference to the Aloha Protocol (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ALOHAnet). Multiple routers and multiple end points sharing a limited bandwidth shared commons is just darn difficult.
I do hope Stanford makes this work because dense living just happens.
More and more work places are getting to be "dorm living" on caffeine. Old folks homes and retirement communities are just around the corner for lots of us and the bandwidth needed for Gramps and Gma to browse all the photos and videos of kids and food boggles the mind.
The judges simple pointed out that under current law taking these pictures is legal. That is their job. What is needed is for the appropriate laws to be rewritten.
Yep... if the ruling was a comment on this/. I would mod it as insightful.
He noted that the gal was "dressed" to socially acceptable standards and as such was not in a state of undress when photographed.
At issue is a dress code that can be immodest in common situations. But in fact it is not immodest because she and a gazillion others dress the same way. To solve it one solution would be the burka but I have no clue what is up skirt of a burka so that may prove less modest. There there is the Irish/Scottish kilt...
Perhaps Moms need a skirt check no different than the baseball cup check ethic.
I wonder what the company would say if an unscrupulous network admin steals the bank information from a bunch of employees and robs them?
I'm not sure "my system, my rules" would go very far in court.
Yes and.... the problem with man in the middle attacks is that the stolen information is stolen in a very stealthy way.
Stolen data from a dozen employees can be used to push data into another employees account then to another and then to some island nation accessed by another pile of stolen employee information.
With enough stolen data tracking some of this down is difficult especially if some of the data stolen belongs to folk in IT.
In the US, this is totally legal, although there may be disclosure requirements (I'm not sure). The "my system, my rules" argument wins. My workplace does this, and they informed me that they do this when I was hired.
Yes but.... OK, Their system their rules. First, keep all your stuff off company hardware.
But there are places where things overlap. Companies have interactions with your bank and expect you to interact with your bank, some credit cards, retirement accounts and any seen passwords not specific to the company incur a liability on the company.....
One important thing to do is draft up a letter to the CTO that you do not indemnify them from data breaches involving your personal data that costs you and do not relinquish any rights you have under the law. Acknowledge that they have rights to protect their property but you feel that some tools that implement "Man in the Middle" methods are problematic because they impersonate ostensibly secure sites (plural) and should their tools be hacked you do not wish to be a victim as well.
Have it sent by your attorney. If they object have them object in writing and keep on working.
I might note that data breaches like Target can be achieved in many ways. If the internal MITM tool intercepted credentials for anyone and then were abused to attack the system it would be almost impossible to prove that the MITM audit tools were the root cause.
Of interest this is implicit in any expense report procedure and tax law. There are tax return deductions an individual can take if and only if the company denies them. Many managers forget that they have a responsibility to both you and the company. If the company policy is no, say so in writing so you can act within the law on your own tax return (not a global thing for sure).
My grandmother refuses to upgrade because she's so in love with the greetings card workshop software that came with her first computer in the mid-90's. It's run fine on each computer since, but definitely won't run on Win 7 or 8 so she won't upgrade again. I don't think your solution is any better for her, and she's pretty representative of a large segment of the people still on XP.
Get her a second computer and air-gap the old and the new. For sure invest in a smart router/ NAT box. With the new AC networking hardware surfacing the previous generation boxes are selling for very attractive prices.
If she only runs the greeting card software on the old box she should do OK for a while. She can do "other stuff" on the new box you get her.
Back to school sort of. Stanford has a number of computer science class lectures that are available to view via iTunes.
Spend a couple hours a night viewing them and see where it takes you. Yes do the exercises....
If you find them to be a gentle review you can go and do anything. If you find them to be impossible go back to school and begin with a modern computer science 101 class.
A quality programmer will discover that the language used to discuss programming has changed while the principles have not changed much in the last 40 years. Without a modern vocabulary you will not be able to interview well in many contexts.
An old hand with a modern vocabulary can do, mentor, teach and more.
The interesting bit is most schools are more than ten years behind the curve in terms of computer science and do not know it.
In addition, from DOCSIS 2.0 onwards, the modem can and does reserves bandwidth for specific use. So in theory, the bandwidth of the roaming users do not eat any of your capabilities. The part I would not vouch is for the hardware capabilities of the modem/router provided by default. I disabled ours and put it in bridging mode only.
Bandwidth on the cable is not really the issue. At issue is local WiFi bandwidth. The 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz channel stuff. Three channels 1, 6, 11 for max bandwidth with a fall back to 1-11 (USA). 5Ghz is a little better because a smaller number of more expensive devices use it. In dense living there can be dozens or many more users trying to use the shared commons.
For many this is simply an AC power issue but apartment dwellers will find it a mixed bag. Dropped calls but data ok ish as landlords turn this on
How do they manage bandwidth caps? They same way they don't bill you for cable TV channel bandwidth. They know what's coming across their network and from where.
Additionally, Comcast Business customers (at least) are being provided with a separate cablemodem and router/AP for the public wifi.
My POB's main office just installed a 75/15 link a month or so ago. Once we found out what the equipment was for, we disabled it immediately. We also disabled the wifi on the private router/AP as well, as we already have a heavily secured wireless AP on premises and simply don't trust Comcast enough not to try and circumvent our precautions. And god help them if they do.
The interesting bit with cable is the astounding bandwidth they (providers) have. The cable can support an astounding number of frequency division multiplexed bands. Cable infrastructure is ultimately much richer in bandwidth than open air bandwidth can ever be.
The above Comcast Business customers comment is interesting. The interesting bit is where Comcast felt they had permission to install hardware in the closet of a business that services neighbors without compensating the business for power, cooling and space.
A recent green type recently remarked that the most evil entertainment appliance in a home is the digital video recorder. Massive storage on modern disks, full AC service power, astounding bandwidth and no "visible" external service other than what is displayed at the end of an HDMI cable.
How do they manage bandwidth caps? How do they maintain service levels to the paying customer?
It is true that a docsis 3.0 cable modem can deliver many more bits than most (but not all) subscribers pay for. If and only if the service base is never infringed on does this pass my muster.
HOWEVER WiFi bandwidth is not as flexible and that is what they are stealing and reselling.
If I did not own my own WiFi hardware I would be in court...
I WANT COMPENSATION.
It is difficult enough to compete with neighbor WiFi and this will force many transmitters to dial up their power increasing the interference.
Same for the durn Femto Cell tower that ATT sold me at a discount. Today I have apparent control over the connections allowed but that could change. BTW... they are not magic and seriously drop calls faster than pre Obamacare health insurance companies.
Downside : a normal coffee brew process generates 6-12 cups of Joe.
I guess we could all switch to a press... but that's a bit messy and requires a stand alone heating method (I've not the space to keep a proper tea kettle on my office desk)
Keurig provides a clean single-cup solution
Switch to a paper cone filter of a size you like. In the break room, microwave the water in a thermal safe thing if you do not have room for a kettle. If you risk super heating the water add a cut off wood chop stick or wood stir stick.
Brew, then plop the cone in the trash, rinse the cone and enjoy.
I have a largish fav coffee cup so for me a #4 cone and filter work well. I use beans ground almost fine enough for espresso so they clog the filter just enough to get the right brew time for my taste. Grinding beans in advance works as long as I do not grind too far in advance and keep the coffee in a good but inexpensive airtight container.
Decades ago the filters needed a rinse in clear hot water to remove the paper taste... not so much anymore.
Take the telco to court and in open court divulge ALL the demands made on the telco.

My limited inspection is that two things are absent from the services I get. The most important is that the backbones are not as numerous and fast as they might be. Most importantly I see traffic on my cell phone traverse routers on the other side of the continent to connect to a local host. One point of evidence is obvious when location services are disabled on a tablet and the "weather channel" guesses wrong. Then trace route and friends add better data points.
We see this with the recent Netflix bandwidth thing. A company like Netflix could have servers in all 50 US states and even the 193 UN member nations... but it turns out that the access points to service providers like Comcast/Xfinity only have a very short list of connection points that negated many geographic distribution sites.
Next is p2p service paranoia. Picking on Netflix again most of the traffic will involve a small percentage of their library. There is no reason for customers to not have a p2p caching service running and memory rich display applications. Yes the content owners would want the bits to be distributed and perhaps encrypted.
There are politics and ownership of hardware and content that matter but technology could much improve services... even email.
And yes some of these paths have national value and "should" be federally funded.
I recall the days when compilers, editors, assemblers and cross development tools were all out of the reach of all but a few. He is right that these basic tools need to be available.
I would note that the GCC folk have not been willing to embrace many enhancements or structural changes. Their inflexible postures have IMO opened the door for the LLVM/Clang work. In both cases there is enough openness that it will continue to be possible to bootstrap another system.
More important in the chain are foundational libs. There was a time when basic libs (libc, libm...) only existed in the home dir of individuals and portability was a dream.
Note that the wii sensor bar is only infrared LEDs. The camera is in the wii remote itself. It is also shielded by a infrared filter, so not much visible light makes it in there. Footage would be nearly useless as the remotes are generally pointed at the TV or flailing about.
There is a reason most cameras have IR filters. A camera that is designed to see in the IR can almost see through clothing. Same with some flash situations as a celeb or two has discovered.
Given the nature of TLA alterations to hardware, camera modifications to gaming consoles, laptops and more are to be expected where technology makes it possible.
Light switches, smoke and CO detectors, wireless devices including routers can all be hacked. Little protects my WiFi router update code from being spoofed when it reaches out for an update.
Same for my TV cable provider boxes. OK not the same... bandwidth is off the hook for those guys as is storage, power and processor power in the box.
Sigh....In the article: "All but three of the aircraft were smelted down in 2009" So smelt down the last three.
Dioxin is a real problem but the 34 aircraft involved and their crew is a very small population. There are vastly more dioxin contaminated transformers and workers scattered far and wide.
Someone is attempting to make a buck selling instrumentation in most likelihood.
Behind the snark lurks a valid point. If it takes me 20hrs to download the materials, but it takes you 15mins, then yes, you could finish faster and move on to something else.
But if it takes > 20 hours to actually read and understand the material, then your download speed is trivial and not an issue, I believe was his point.
One needs read ahead to make this interesting. Thinking in a serial manner will not get the job done.
If reading chapter one triggers the download of chapter two... etc. before chapter one is finished the only one that matters is chapter one as the others are hidden.
Of interest a multi book multi chapter product is ideal for p2p even in a "lower bandwidth" mesh network that could be built Pringle can style building to building floor to floor.
Schools and communities could be highly interconnected internally and modestly interconnected globally if the community was a caching resource.
There are many types of interconnect topology but a strong cross sectional bandwidth interconnect design would be cool. Home routers built with Raspberry-Pi boards and 30GB of local SD card storage would be a good start.

At work I had an old school photo book with 4"x5" cards in a well locked drawer equivalent. I could hand a card to someone that needed it. Cross out the old and enter a new when the card comes back (think library checkout). where a card was a log of who got it.
I could hand the book to my x-boss when I left;-) after he signed for it:}
The nutrition label says zero protein. The ingredients has "pea protein". https://hamptoncreekfoods.com/...

Beef is interesting because in much of the world beef eat grass
where grass is the most productive crop. Cows can digest grass
but not so much people. Grass fed beef is often finished in
feedlots to add fat and marble the meat. In addition the yellowish
grass fed fat changes color and flavor to a more marketable white.
Corn and corn stalk silage permit local production but the corn has
a terrible pH impact on the animal and antibiotics are often used to
keep them healthy.
A lot of food and feedstock does not ship well and we demand much
of it year round in contrast to seasonal local production.
The pH impact of corn on the gut of a cow is a lesson for humans.
We eat a lot of things but not the variety or seasonal diet of our
ancestors. Our health might improve by moving to a local seasonal
diet and only supplement that daily diet with modest imports.
We also need to eat more than just the "choice" cuts of meat.
Many organs and even the skin of some animals contain vitamins
and minerals in abundance but are shunned for marketing, silly or
cultural reasons.

I recall the days when compilers, editors, assemblers and cross development tools were all out of the reach
of all but a few. He is right that these basic tools need to be available.
I would note that the GCC folk have not been willing to embrace many enhancements or structural
changes. Their inflexible postures have IMO opened the door for the LLVM/Clang work.
In both cases there is enough openness that it will continue to be possible to bootstrap another
system.
More important in the chain are foundational libs. There was a time when basic libs (libc, libm...)
only existed in the home dir of individuals and portability was a dream.
Note that the wii sensor bar is only infrared LEDs. The camera is in the wii remote itself. It is also shielded by a infrared filter, so not much visible light makes it in there. Footage would be nearly useless as the remotes are generally pointed at the TV or flailing about.
There is a reason most cameras have IR filters.
A camera that is designed to see in the IR can almost
see through clothing. Same with some flash situations
as a celeb or two has discovered.
Given the nature of TLA alterations to hardware, camera modifications
to gaming consoles, laptops and more are to be expected where
technology makes it possible.
Light switches, smoke and CO detectors, wireless devices including routers
can all be hacked. Little protects my WiFi router update code from being
spoofed when it reaches out for an update.
Same for my TV cable provider boxes. OK not the same... bandwidth is off
the hook for those guys as is storage, power and processor power in the box.
This even made the TV news. .... or maybe not....
One might think the news outlets are getting aware....
What percentage will be tracked
back to the affordable health care act
and by who.
IBM is a massive company but with wide and
sometimes conflicting product lines. We will
have to wait to see what this does.
Some lay offs with "rich" packages have resulted
in valuable startups. Time will tell.
Sigh....In the article: "All but three of the aircraft were smelted down in 2009"
So smelt down the last three.
Dioxin is a real problem but the 34 aircraft involved and their crew is a very small
population. There are vastly more dioxin contaminated transformers and workers
scattered far and wide.
Someone is attempting to make a buck selling instrumentation in most likelihood.
Behind the snark lurks a valid point. If it takes me 20hrs to download the materials, but it takes you 15mins, then yes, you could finish faster and move on to something else.
But if it takes > 20 hours to actually read and understand the material, then your download speed is trivial and not an issue, I believe was his point.
One needs read ahead to make this interesting.
Thinking in a serial manner will not get the job done.
If reading chapter one triggers the download of chapter two... etc.
before chapter one is finished the only one that matters
is chapter one as the others are hidden.
Of interest a multi book multi chapter product is ideal for p2p even in
a "lower bandwidth" mesh network that could be built Pringle can
style building to building floor to floor.
Schools and communities could be highly interconnected
internally and modestly interconnected globally if the community
was a caching resource.
There are many types of interconnect topology but a strong
cross sectional bandwidth interconnect design would be cool.
Home routers built with Raspberry-Pi boards and 30GB of local
SD card storage would be a good start.
Alzheimers.
Seriously this is a PITA today. .txt file slightly munged.
For random ones I do not care about...
For less random ones vim -x
Serious ones -- if I told ya I might have to silence ya.
At work I had an old school photo book with 4"x5" cards in a well locked drawer equivalent.
I could hand a card to someone that needed it. Cross out the old and enter a new when the card comes back (think library checkout).
where a card was a log of who got it.
I could hand the book to my x-boss when I left ;-) :}

"ssh" keys help a lot of things.
The nutrition label says zero protein.
The ingredients has "pea protein".

It is just gooified Canola oil and sadly canola oil has its own
tangle of nutritional issues. Today we would just make it
with GMO technology and skip the decades of cross breeding.
And yes I have canola oil in my kitchen.
If I dumped a bunch of lead in your back yard, wouldn't that be a crime?
If I dumped a bunch of lead in your air, wouldn't that be pretty much the same thing?
Please define "a bunch".
At $0.95 a pound a large enough block might have me saying yes please.
It is the nano-schoshi amounts that some crazy expensive instrument can measure
that bothers me.
