I find Guineafowl better. Some people describe it as gamey but maybe it depends where you get it from (wild vs farmed) and which part of the animal you consume (legs and wings are usually gamey-er).

Both times I tried Gineafowl breast (in two different countries), it tasted like chicken but more fine, moist and buttery with a unique flavour. Sometimes chicken breast has a dry, almost grainy consistency; Gineafowl was more oily.

It did have its own slight unique flavor but I wouldn't describe it as 'gamey'; I think that even Duck is more gamey than Gineafowl.

On the gamey-ness scale of all the ornithological specimens I tried I would say:

Chicken < Gineafowl < Turkey < Duck < Quail < Pigeon < Partridge < Pheasant

If you're used to eating turkey a lot, I suspect that you might find Gineafowl to be more gamey than turkey but I think it's close.
So hybridization is now the canonical mechanism through which new species arise?

I thought it was autonomous mutation plus natural selection.

Their is plenty of evidence for population drift. Why did native Americans have a different skin coloration than the rest of the world?

Remember, the land bridge was recent and humans with a long reproductive cycle still had very noticeable drift over ~1,000 generations. Which was not simply adaptation like reducing pigmentation when moving North.

Genetic incompatibility is actually rather difficult to understand in detail as in what specifically stops working and why that occurred, but easy to understand at a high level.
Do you happen to have comparison charts with how long it takes to be profitable like the article has?
Definitely. Although I appreciate this article and him writing honestly about his process, in all seriousness the game is a pixel art dungeon crawler with Wolfenstein 3D -style graphics, how do you expect that to sell ?

The games market is so saturated with actual good, polished content, everybody knows this, making an indie game you need to really stand out from the crowd from the view of game mechanics in a spectacular way, or you need really good graphics and sound, and still you are not guaranteed even to make your own investment back.

Been working at a big mobile game company myself and seeing this shit first hand, you make like 50 games and maybe 1 or 2 were like good or really good, not even great. It's a brutal business, and oversaturated like heck, how are you going to stand out with this kind of game ?
I would love to believe this, but I'm not so optimistic.

I'm assuming you are referring to mesh type networks, in which case the hurdle is not technological but rather legal and political.

Once a mesh network becomes a valid competitor , they will create and enforce laws to hold people responsible for traffic going through their devices (ie kiddie P0rn and other illegal activities) .

They will also create and enforce anti encryption laws to prevent that as a loophole.

The challenge for mesh or decentralized networks will not be technical, it will legal and political which doesn't end well for the consumer.

Only in the land of North American industrial mega-corp agriculture would 80 acres be "micro" anything.

The farms next to me (I live rural) are 20-30 acres and are farmed by professional subcontractors that employ dozens of (immigrant seasonal) labour for picking etc. and use heavy machinery that costs hundreds of thousands of dollars and are shared between multiple farms.

Likely if your old boss operated a 'micro' farm it was only using a fraction of that acreage.

Also 3 acres is not a "garden", it's a very labour intensive high production "market garden" and could in fact be called a farm of a type. That's 360x360 feet, and maybe you can't visualize that, but it's large. It would require machinery and hired labour to manage. No single individual could plant weed and cultivate that single-handedly. My garden on my acreage is 100x100 and if I could actually keep up with it would easily produce enough for 5 or 6 families.

I'm not saying it's a profitable farm, but it's a kind of farming. You could easily produce $10-$20k of revenue out of intensively market gardening something of that size.

But even more if you were to do cut flowers or something higher profit. My neighbour is very profitable with lavender and has about 3 acres of it and makes quite a bit of money off just that. But he is connected deeply to the flower business, so knows the game well.

A 3 acre high quality vineyard could produce $10k in revenue just selling the grapes where I am. If you made that into wine (capital intensive and regulatory hassle and not allowed on that small of acreage, but still) you could actually make many multiples of that and make a good living once you covered your upfront costs.

So yes, it's possible to 'farm' on small acreages and make an 'ok' living if you don't mind busting your ass. Just not the stereotype of what people think of as farming (coy/sorn/wheat/sorghum cash cropping, etc.)

Myself I have a bad back now, so no thanks on the pay cut, I'll keep these things as a hobby :-)

Translation: farm subsidies still over-provisioned by American government.
I spent some time working and living on a farm run by someone under 35.

I'm not sure how much their personality and lack of managerial skills ultimately contributed to their inability to turn a profit, as they certainly had cashflow, but it also occurred to me while I was working there that the kind of farm we had (10 - 20 acre, general organic produce) was a nice thought but without extensive community support (something they never bothered to foster) they aren't likely to survive. It costs a lot to maintain farm equipment and pay salary.

Niche, high-efficiency, high-automation, vertical farms are something worth exploring, and I have read about the success of others doing things this way. It's something I continue to think about.

One way to engender a thriving locally run community of farmers would be to establish autonomous chapters of a larger organization that provides consistent expectations among the communities they operate in.

The farms would offer membership plans, which would be actively solicited and advertised. The membership plan would include discount access up to a certain weight in produce / meat / dairy each month, in exchange for a small fee and a few hours a month of unpaid labor, such as indoor/outdoor farming, planting, solicitation and selling goods at local markets.

Importantly, the organization would be nonprofit and all proceeds would go back into the farms. Market research needs to be done to establish the optimal ratio of acreage to service radius, but I think it is an idea worth exploring.

What exactly goes obsolete?

Are trees and graphs suddenly not used anymore? Are loops and folds and calculus invalidated? I harp here once a month about how even senior Google engineers and Amazon principles don't know the optimal asymptotic time complexity for sorting 50m pairs of 32 bit unsigned numbers, as the answer changed substantially earlier this decade.

The humanities are more important than they get credit for, but this argument that everything is invalidated and industry teaches you everything is absurd.

Imho, the first explanation is not plausible, because life started really early after Earth was formed (increasing the plausibility that life can spark at any moment).

The second explanation is not plausible because at least we would have found some evidence, i.e., samples of dead and outcompeted life forms.
>It was tried successfully (by Comcast) on bittorrent in the the early 00's and is one of the things that triggered the whole Title II fight in the first place.

torrents are hard to hide because no matter how much encryption/obfuscation you do, you can't hide gigabytes of data being transferred between residential IPs, using random ports. bitcoin uses megabytes of data per hour, which means it's much easier to use stenography to hide it.

15 Social Influencers Who Can Make a Difference in Growing Your Business
This assumes that humans will be compassionate, be pitiable, and always bend the rules to benefit those in need, whereas algorithms are harsh and cruel.

In reality the algorithms are doing exactly what the humans would do. School districting for example...this has to be the most objective determination in public policy. In 99% of the US the school districts are already set. Where you go to school is determined by your home address or some other rule. None of the humans involved are particularly motivated to find a spot in their hearts to bend these rules out of pity...so why would the algorithms? No one is going to risk their job seating your child in another school district because their nuanced worldview has resolved that you merit being an exception. Bureaucracy is a meat computer.

The reality is that public policy has become algorithmic by public demand. Look at California's "three strikes" law. This is a very simple algorithm that has widespread public support, regardless of actual applicability.

Fairness is also a policy motivation. The public has rejected policies that are unfairly applied. We actually have little desire to grant a policy bureaucrat dictatorial power to apply benefits as they see fit simply by virtue of their having read Descartes.
Hogwash. If your CS program isn't teaching the general fundamentals (algorithms, data structures, basic machine architecture, compiler theory, etc) that's unfortunate. But a CS degree isn't a 4 year equivalent of a programming certificate.
If you are in a thread about a specific topic, likely filled with people knowing what they are talking about, asking there is only natural. It's quick, prevent you from learning the wrong information by looking it up wrong, filter the essential...

I agree, especially now that there's a rather comprehensive documentation available online clearly it doesn't require a "tremendous amount of engineering" to hack the device anymore.

It also seems like it would be rather trivial to mitigate this issue in an update, either by securing the BLE connection or by signing and verifying update payloads (or preferably both).
I think the problem was with the keyboard not the OS... well, possibly the root problem is with your IT staff since they gave you a bad keyboard (unless they ordered it new, they shouldn't hand out equipment that hasn't been verified as working).

Is Anyone Good Enough for an H-1B Visa?
Some commentators here have difficulty of understanding how small farming can be profitable. It's relatively easy to explain.

They are not selling just the product. Just like microbreweries, small farms sell for people who want more than just a beer or lettuce. They want to distinguish themselves and buy the feeling of authentic life and values. Consumer pays more for "small farm" even if the product is not any different from neighboring farm product that is not marketing itself as "small farm".

Modern consumer marketing sells identity, lifestyle, and values. There is no reason why small farm products can't create value from association and self–identification just like Pepsi is not selling sugar water or Nike is not selling sneakers. Everything that is sold using words classic, authentic, natural, original can be more expensive for segment who wants those tings.

Traditional farmers who produce standard grain or milk in bulk quantities are selling for different market segment.
> Surely then there's arbitrarily large numbers of polygons but not infinite, because if they're infinite then the spacing between points will be zero?

If we describe the set of these polgons as P, then |P| = |N|, for N referring to the Natural Numbers.

What do you mean by quality? Fruits and vegetables in the US tend to have much higher visual quality than elsewhere.
What is your specific objection?

Their is plenty of examples where even short term separation results in population drift: EX: Skin tone among native Americans is unique even with only ~1,000 generations separating the land bridge from modern times.

In the short term this may be adaptation to a new envornment but eventually random mutation takes over.

Their is evidence that closely related members may have difficulty breading with anything from 1% reductions in fertility to 99%. Which arguably makes them the same species as they can still in theory breed.

However, adaptation can make it's own issues. Grizzly's + Polar bears is a solid example where offspring is fertile but poorly adapted to either of their parents environment.

So, now you have examples of drops in fertility and reductions in reproductive success as populations are separated. Nothing is going to stop this process from hitting zero net fertility and thus a new species.

The only working telescope at a Lagrange point is Gaia [0] at Earth-Sun L2, but it is an astrometry instrument, designed to measure the position and brightness of various stars, rather than generic deep-space imaging. The Herschel Space Observatory [1] is also at the Earth-Sun L2 point, and has a 3.5m IR telescope, but ran out of coolant in 2013 and is now defunct. Interestingly, these are both ESA missions, not NASA.

Desktop and laptop systems tend to be in portrait orientation; phones and tablets tend to be in portrait. So you already have to either make two layout styles or accept a mediocre general solution.

Cursors and styluses are accurate, but fingers are not. So, if you make buttons sized for fingers, they feel awkwardly large (takes large hand movements to change between UI components, and the spacing means more scrolling or pages of UI), but if you size them for cursors/styluses, they are frustratingly small targets for touchscreens.

You can probably assume that most devices in portrait orientation are that way so they can be held in one hand leaving the other free to work a touchscreen, so you only need to handle three of the four combinations for a comfortable user experience in those regards.

However, there's more to it than that. Desktop users often run apps windowed, while phones tend to omit that option entirely. Mac puts the menu bar at the screen edge regardless of the window size/position, but other desktop/laptop OSs usually put the menu bar within the window border. You can remove the menu bar entirely and draw a hamburger button into your UI, but desktop users have the expectation of a menu bar and the change in convention will make the app feel like an outsider.

A desktop/laptop user will never try a long press and don't have a menu button, both of which have been used to hide extra functionality on phones, but they often do have a keyboard, and there is a massive list of keyboard shortcuts that they will automatically use. Desktop UIs have a logical tab order and that selection can be moved with the arrow keys. Cut, copy, and paste function as expected. On windows, F2 almost always means "rename selected item", F1 for help, alt-enter to toggle full screen, and so on. What about the multitude of multi-finger phone/tablet gestures? You have two very different modes on input, and users' muscle memory expects your app to fully support whichever one they are using. As an anecdote, I tried writing something in an Electron app's text box, then went for ctrl-left to jump back a word, but instead it caused a page navigation and lost the entire message I was typing. That was a frustrating "this app is an outsider on desktop" experience to me.

Your decision is effectively mediocre everywhere or customized to fit the conventions for each platform.

the screen isn't moving but the observable portion is. This change causes you to try to refocus but you know you're watching a movie on a 2D plane where you don't control the depth of field, so you let the change "guide" your attention on the screen. It's something some people are more used to than others. I don't like it and I feel like it pulls me out of a scene. Looking around in a well done 3D movie feels more natural because my eyes DO change where they converge which is a better approximation of real life when compared to 2D where none of that happens.

Ultimately your brain adapts to what you expose to it the most.

The point of bringing up algebra is not to somehow suggest that the Middle East today produces just as much good science and math as Europe or the US does today, or saying that it could only have been discovered in the Middle East, it's to educate people that the most dominant culture has shifted all the time throughout history and to somehow claim that Western culture is the apex of human history and that it could only have been the product of Europeans is extremely ignorant. The 250 years of rapid industrialization in the West is about 2.5% of the time from when humanity started the Agricultural revolution (which started in the Middle East).

What determines which culture will be the most dominant one is not one single factor, and some of them look completely random. For example, China invented movable type printing before Europe but Europe had an alphabet of discrete symbols that were optimized for stone engravings while China's alphabet was optimized for writing by hand quickly and with room for expression. That was one of the factors of why Europe could start the printing press revolution to democratize science and information.
