I agree for Tennessee whiskey, which is clearly tied to production in Tennessee. But "bourbon" is increasingly seen as a just style of barrel-aged corn-mash whiskey. It's already in the process of losing its geographical specificity within the U.S., with producers in places like California and Illinois [1]. Once you have California whiskey producers making bourbon, it's not that big a stretch to imagine that one of the Japanese whiskey companies might want to come out with a bourbon.

I think it would be more principled to either let anyone produce it (subject to style requirements), or to geographically restrict it to only the vicinity of Kentucky. But the U.S.'s position seems to be to want to make it a specifically American brand, but otherwise not regionally restricted. Which I understand the trade motivations for, but honestly I don't see bourbon from Tokyo as any less authentic than bourbon from San Francisco, assuming it's made correctly.

Thats awesome. I remember seeing pantelligent a long time ago, but not hearing anything since. I am going to pick one up. You guys do anything with grills? For example, I have the big green egg, and I bought a cast iron grill top for it, but I wish I could get more info from that cast iron part. The current solution is to get another thermometer and put it directly onto the grill rack. Anything like the out there?

I wouldn't call myself an engineer, however I know some Developers who _ARE_ Bachelor of Engineering or even Masters. In Germany SOME Information Technology courses will get you this title instead of the Bachelor of Science.

However thats just a title an official title and I don't care so much about that, since that says nothing about how much you could do. since mostly the newer generation with these titles knowing less and less. Btw. I also don't like people who care too much about it, they are mostly the 'bad' ones out there. if somebody would call me an engineer, fine. however I would never call myself so.

Thanks for this. It is a fascinating insight.
This is pretty exciting - it looks like Lytro finally found a good use for light-field photography. Trying to shorehorn the concept into a camera product was never going to take off - as admirably as the company tried, refocusing an image in post was ultimately proven a novelty that the market was never going to consider worth all the trade-offs in resolution and convenience.

This has the look of a perfect pivot: Capturing light fields could turn out to be the key to VR video, and Lytro is poised to make the ARRI Alexa of the industry.
I don't know much about React. When poking through the code I found this:

And imagine live concerts sent to be displayed on VR headsets!

Also, in many cases you can likely use 4-6 in a grid to capture the entire scene.

China's population is ~4x that of the United States, so all else equal they'd have ~4x as much of everything, manufacturing included. In reality, the US has slightly more total manufacturing output than China does, because of its higher level of economic development. The strong trade ties between the two countries mean that Chinese firms will sometimes outcompete American firms, and vise versa; we just don't hear much about it when it's the other way around.
Lytro switched away from Flash to a JPEG/JavaScript player in 2013, then to a WebGL player in late 2014. There were some open source player controls floating around last year but I can't recall the name. There were also some open source tools to extract the JPEG stack from the .LFP file as well, which you could use to build a player of your own. I worked at Lytro from 2012-2015 and we'd see occasional updates from those tools.

Way cool! Looks like a common `Keyboard.js` will render either `KeyboardRender.js` on web/desktop or `KeyboardRender.ios.js` on mobile.

KeyboardRender.ios.js: https://github.com/benoitvallon/react-native-nw-react-calcul...
KeyboardRender.js: https://github.com/benoitvallon/react-native-nw-react-calcul...

I'm wondering, though, if we can take this a step further and write Keyboard as the exact same code by composing it with more general components like `<View>` instead of `<div>`. This will require inline styles instead of class names, though.

I theorize that this will be made a little easier for you with the use of react-native-web: https://github.com/necolas/react-native-web

Cool project, though, thanks for sharing. Code is very clean, I'll definitely be using it as a reference.

Agreed. I personally work well in an open office. Half way through the article, or really it was just citing other peoples research with no other analysis, I got mad.

It just comes back to -- if you want to prove a point there will be data out there to help you justify it. This article is trying to pretend to be objective, but really is just citing a slew of studies that, presumably, had really small sample sizes. /rant

There is no one answer. IMO an ideal office would have both options.

Now, see, that is good (and frankly, surprisingly sensible given some of Mozilla's past behavior.) I'd be much less concerned about a code that spelled out things like that.

It's when CoC advocates strenuously fight against adding such terms that I get suspicious of their motives.

That's how poorly administered the system is. I've seen companies go through SR&ED and it's fairly random whether the paperwork is going to be accepted.

Some companies document everything and end up being rejected for a random formerly unknown minutia, whereas other companies document less, and ultimately get approved for a bad claim.

Anyone I've talked to who's even been close to the process (a claimant, a technical contact, an interviewee, an administrator) have had traumatic experiences with the process.
Telidon: Early 1980s Net Artists

Does smelting actually need a lot of labor? I'd imagine this process is very scalable, bauxite flows into the plan, into furnaces, into machines which create ingots or sheets, etc. Labor would mostly be at the input/output stage of unpackaging/packaging, and of running the factory machinery and management.

But this is not like manufacturing phones where labor = O(number of phones produced). Am I wrong? Why is aluminum production not almost purely capital intensive?

If so, it would suggest that the advantage of China isn't cheap labor costs, but either cheap energy, cheap regulations, or cheap currency.

Which really means Chinese aluminum needs to be taxed to price in the full costs of environmental damage. If for example, the aluminum is produced by carbon emissions, or just plain old soot and other pollution, the costs of this should be estimated and other countries which import Chinese aluminum should slap a tariff on it equal to those costs. They should also domestically tax carbon. Actually, I'd argue that you can't really tax carbon domestically unless you tax it internationally.

> On the second half of the argument. Banks need address the fact that users needs are changing and they want access to their own data, that they own, not the bank. A bank could create an API service with API keys specifically for these types of aggregate services to use. This could be done at first for just read only access, whereby the API does not allow you to transfer funds, etc. It would be a secure interface to access your data from third trusted third parties or your own apps.

>DNAnexus, Seven Bridges, and Illumina BaseSpace all provide cloud storage and analysis.

"Analysis".

There is a difference between meaningful analysis which answers long standing questions of biology, and running a program which calls SNPs and spits out genome stats.

The hard part is knowing what questions to ask, and how to interpret the answers when you get them. That takes years of training to develop a critical mind.
Intersectionality is a theory where different categories of discrimination (race, gender, sex, ability, orientation, etc.) are analyzed as having differing implications on oppression depending on how they cluster, and that moreover they are interrelated to more fundamental power structures, or dependent on each other.

In practice, it is used either as a naive adder (if being black carries disadvantages over being white and being a woman carries disadvantages over being a man, then it is reasoned being a black woman is even worse than being a black man - ignoring that stereotypes, incarceration rates and racially motivated violence have largely been skewed to the latter), or as a carte blanche to blame all forms of oppression on patriarchy.
This is why it is unfortunate that more companies are not using IPv6 or moving towards it.

Currently working at a large MSP, and all of our stuff is still IPv4 only. Although we happen to have a ton of extra IPv4 space, so we aren't as concerned, but there is no movement towards IPv6 at all.

Yes, it's amazing. Better than usual is an understatement. There are 3 main points to get right before you throw everything in the slow cooker.

1. The liquid must be delicious (ie. not water) and almost covering or just barely covering your meat. It must also fill the crock pot at least half way. Think tomato sauce or stock.

2. The meat must be browned well before throwing it in the slow cooker. Fry the outside edges at high temp first.

3. Using well used muscles results in far better flavour -- rump, blade roast, flank, shank, and chicken thighs. Fat (but not toooo much) is your friend. It will dissolve over time and add flavour.

They don't say that though. The problem wasn't that he did something, the problem is that what he did prevented him from performing his role as CEO. And CEO is not just another employee. They are the public face of the company. They are the leader. And I don't think you'll find anyone that would argue that when he was made CEO, there was a backlash which caused problems both internally and externally for his role as CEO.

And that's why the board and he decided he would not be able to fill the role of CEO and he stepped down. Not because of his political affiliations, but because he couldn't fulfill the role they needed him to fulfill.

Some specific examples I've noticed on the privacy side are pinging a Facebook server when a page uses Facebook Connect, and allowing the various web font services.

It's certainly possible to customise uBlock Origin to prevent these things. However, I couldn't immediately see any of the other suggested lists that would have blocked some of these potential privacy/tracking issues either, which suggests that not only do I need to manually block them if I want to stop the tracking, I also need to manually update those lists.

In contrast, with a couple of fire-and-forget plug-ins I've been installing as standard for years until recent FF updates broke them, I very rarely had to customise anything manually. They just worked as standard, and I trusted them to keep working and never noticed any significant problems, until now.

i don't know if this is "new" so much as it is newly approved. There are at least two broad schools of thought in today's biotech discovery. The first is to reverse-engineer chemicals or genetic sequences that are found in the causal chain to contribute to certain diseases. Think synthetic estrogen. The second is to find naturally occurring chemicals, proteins, etc that the body already uses and re-purpose it. Think Bexion Cancer Therapeutics. This is of the second variety, and those tend to be more promising in that the body hasn't automatically rejected it outright. Coupled with the fact that the problem with cancer is the cells won't die, and that herpes basically tears the cells apart, and you've got a pretty intuitive thesis for this drug development. Will keep waiting to see if cancer adapts to this treatment, and whether the treatment spreads to infect other cells unwittingly. Always glad to see steps toward cancer cures though.
