Here locally a lot of medium sized beekeepers serving the factory farms have had ongoing problems, not just monoculture but generally with their very new formulas for winter feeding. This is true even for beekeepers in mostly organic areas, which we have a lot of around here.
So the price of formerly-cheap honey did go up significantly, and the big farms had trouble contracting with beekeepers.
But farmers who keep their own bees, and beekeepers using traditional formulas and leaving the bees a percent of their own honey for the winter, they're not really having any more problems than usual. Everybody loses a few bee colonies now and then, but all the smaller brands at the health food stores have had stable supply and prices. Urban beekeepers have also continued to be successful.
Anywhere I go in nature during the spring I see lots of wild bee activity from a variety of species.
You'd have to genetically engineer the beekeepers to be less greedy and leave the bees enough honey to survive the winter.
They can't do it; greed leads them to replace the honey with sugar water, or corn syrup, and the bees survive but their infection rate goes up. Since it doesn't kill them right away the first year you do it, and you won't lose all the colonies at once, the rural boneheads can't comprehend that it is their own fault.
You can engineer the bee, but they'll just feed it less. And since there are a variety of infections involved, engineering it to have a stronger immune system would increase their energy requirements, and it would actually exacerbate the problem. It would really be more effective to engineer better beekeepers.
Or just, switch to drones because then the fuel is separate from product and so they don't feel psychological pressure to use less fuel.
Exactly! This is the point some people are missing; a community gets to set its own zoning and usage requirements. It is not a requirement to know your neighbors or be "friends" with them in order to have zoning and usage requirements, or other aspects of community.
It is not only Good People who go to [Approved Religious Institution] every [Sabbath day] and let their kids play in the street with the neighbors who have a right to community and to civic standards and laws. Horrible people like me who don't want to talk to their neighbors unless there is a good reason also have a right to community standards and zoning laws. It may even turn out that the reasons for the existence of zoning and usage laws is something other than allowing friendships with neighbors.
In fact, neighbors who try to be "friendly" and get involved in my business are usually the same ones who throw loud parties. The same people who feel obligated to pretend to be friends during the day are the ones calling the cops at night. I know I get along with most of my neighbors because I was never forced into enough interaction with them to find out their names; we can smile and nod or wave and maintain a mostly harmonious community without needing a bunch of words.
Anyways, the point is these confused tourists might not even realize they rented an illegal unit, and if they're French then they're physically incapable of speaking English to Americans, so there is probably no way to even explain the situation to them. Maybe if you can find a German who speaks English, then you can inform them about why there are government inspectors shoving in, and where to find a legal hotel.
They have this invention called the "internet," you can find out what words mean, even when they're Latin!
You don't have to just dream and wish I'd explain it all to you, you can actually acquire information asynchronously and without my approval or filtering.
What would intel bring to the table? If I want ARM I can get a cheap Chinese generic, or a quality TI chip. Other quality vendors also have offerings.
Intel's problem in trying to compete in this space is that there is very little room for premium products with lots of label value; they are commodity products, and the higher priced offerings are for higher specs, with very little label value.
Maybe it is too many managers and marketers, or some other issue, but Intel really sucks at making things that will sell based on the datasheet. For CPUs they compete mostly at the higher end where there is label premium and they can get higher margins than the rest of the industry by being the biggest or fastest in class. That's great while CPU speeds are increasing, but they don't perform well on the industry plateaus. As more and more devices reach a speed where improvements wouldn't be noticed, this is going to be an increasing challenge for them.
And now with this blunder, Intel's label value for embedded will be negative for years, even if they don't make any more blunders. Why would I pay the same price for the chip from the company that has a history of these types of problems? This is their biggest screw up in awhile, but their past math bugs are still in people's memory, and act as a multiplier for this type of mistake. Somebody saved Intel a few cents by putting in less olives, and they do that repeatedly even when it screws their customers! They won't learn this lesson, because they would have already learned it.
Compare Texas Instruments; if I pay a few cents extra for TI chips, they not only meet their higher specs but they consistently exceed them. I pay extra for TI because I get extra olives. I'm not going to pay even more for Intel in order to have a fancy holographic sticker in the package, and maybe bugs and breakdowns.
I can do it with 4's too, and I don't need concatenation...
(4/4)+(4/4) etc
The video being stupid doesn't bother me. Slashdot trying to pretend it is something intellectually interesting is what is offensive. Stupid videos are fine.
If you're even trying to define "normal" in a special way to make something true, then you've already left the realm of normalcy and entered the realm of "alternate facts."
If there was a problem, we solved it with fire. Like Magical Kyouko.
Now everybody is too lazy to click flamebait, any old stupid pun can end up funny. And if you can read half a wiki page and make the other half up, you're probably insightful.
What the hell does it mean that anyways, for these "conservatives" to tolerate silicon valley? Are flyover trailer-parks now full of Kings whose whims determine the goings-on of the coastal states, or the existence of various industries?
This story is kinda like a story on a drunken email from Linus, except without a clear point.
Why waste all those words if you're going to tell me I don't read well? You write horribly if you think that people you should disrespect to would read that many words. And if you think I don't read well, writing that many words is just not expected to be very effective. So mixing that type of insult with attempts at conversation, it just isn't going to work.
You say lame shit that is contradicted by your examples, you insult my reading comprehension, (sorry, only a few nines, you'll have to deal with us dummies around here) and then you write a bunch of words? That's just fucking stupid on your part.
Judges making decisions that Presidents who appointed them dislike does not support your idea that Trump can pick somebody to give him weird rulings he wants. If you'd get your head out of your ass and think you'd realize that. It isn't a close call or a thing that can go either way. You want to magically explain away Chief Justice Roberts, dude, he's not even dead. He makes other decisions too, he writes opinions all the time. If you think he pulls "stunts" on the cases that get into pop media, you're probably a clown who has no fucking clue and doesn't even follow the modern court, much less the historical ones. No, I'm not going to consider your weird fringe theory. No, I'm not going to sign up for you newsletter.
When you're just presuming that other people are ignorant because they said words you didn't expect or didn't understand, you should just stop there are realize you have nothing to say. My advice, don't bother trolling links, instead, look up what knowledge you might be lacking that would help you to understand the comment you didn't understand.
You can wave your hands about Ike all you want, but Chief Justice Roberts is a more recent example; he was supposed to be the savior of political conservatism, but he turned out to be just another fair jurist.
I stopped reading at "whippersnapper." By the way, if you look into the history you'll find that Ike was eventually a bit unhappy with his choices, and is a horrible example to use to disagree with me.
The funniest part is, you have to strongly disagree with me, even though you don't really know much about the context, eg, the subject.
Right, and how do you find out if they have this "personal loyalty?" You ask them? And they tell you. And you appoint them to a position that is held for life, with no higher position to aspire to, and suddenly their backroom oath of fealty is entirely meaningless compared to their sense of personal and professional duty.
Many Presidents have tried very hard to achieve it, and they all fail! SCOTUS is the Honey Badger of American civics.
It is a fact that in the hearings so far, the government has not been able to provide a reason. You're offering one, but there is not a legal reason provided in the Executive Order, and the government has not provided one yet when asked by the court. The court asked them if they could have an answer as to the reason by this coming Friday, about a week later, and they indicated that was too soon and agreed to provide a reason in two weeks.
You think it is a clear reason, but the people you're speaking for need weeks to even figure out what it is!
Courts have ruled in the past that US Citizens with relatives who are foreign nationals who have been granted US residence have a right to have those relatives here with them.
If their paperwork is already granted and is in order, then there has to be some actual reason given that is more important than that right of the US citizen who is named in that paperwork. You have failed to fully consider the breadth of the situation.
Congress acts pretty slow most of the time, it isn't clear yet what they intend to do at all. It isn't clear that they've decided. I'll probably hate it whatever it is, but I do at least want to wait to see what it is before I decide what I hate about it.

The pyramids weren't built by slaves. That was just a B movie.

Well, that is definitely legal in New York.
Incidentally, I found the anonymous Texan! lol

...doesn't make it a biscuit.
In fairness, you'd really have to test the recipe out before making that call.
But I don't have to run a concatenation operator to know it isn't math.
Depends on your definition of 'normal', really.
If you're even trying to define "normal" in a special way to make something true, then you've already left the realm of normalcy and entered the realm of "alternate facts."
In the old days, we just burned them.
If there was a problem, we solved it with fire. Like Magical Kyouko.

Sounds like a typical IoT startup to me!
No, that's Diurinal, durinal impulses are from the durian gland.
What he means is, his conservative friends tolerate the fact that he's gay because he is rich and doesn't talk to them about sex.
