A caveat being and mentioned in the article, that sailors didn't have access to the safe water of lakes and streams, thus beer. And as someone mentions below, it's safer to drink l…

I don't know his intention or whether The Register just framed his words to align with a political viewpoint. Perhaps it's nothing more than one industry person taking shots at the…

California does handle it differently. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1978_California_Proposition_13 - "by assessing values at their 1976 value and restricted annual increases of as…

That's the sentiment in the industry. Here's some numbers from when the sale happened. https://www.marketwatch.com/story/japans-sapporo-buys-craft-...

If you are interested in the numbers, give Bart Watson a follow: https://twitter.com/BrewersStats He's an economist that covers this for the Brewers Association. Based on the data,…

The old machinery (rose engine) and technique (guilloché) sent me down a pleasant rabbit hole, but the tldr: Self-taught watchmaker turns hobby into profession and hopes to reintro…

The paper does seem to address this: "Several previous evaluations (Ioannidis, 2021a; Levin et al., 2020; O’Driscoll et al., 2021; Brazeau et al., 2020) have already synthesized in…

If it’s security training for developers, architects, and technical teams take a look into the CTF style trainings (hands on keyboard, hacking exercises). We’ve turned it into an a…

We actually discussed a small train and decided to go with horse and sleigh next year, mostly because of upkeep and the ability to reuse that portion of the property for other thin…

You must have tapped into our meeting...that's on the plan for next fall!

For us, the biggest issue is trying to forecast what additional non-agricultural projects we may be starting in the near future that would be adversely impacted by a specific piece…

This gets into a bigger conversation about business models. For us, we are selling an experience that includes a tree. Artificial trees will not be able to replace that. But sellin…

Right now, trees and gift shop.

Our place currently has limited attractions with several planned for next year. There is a gift shop that drives significant revenue, but was closed this year due to COVID. We offe…

It's not an issue on our farm. We have eyes on most of the property most of the time. We also don't stock any precuts, so a thief has to come on the property and do some amount of …

We cut our season off early due to the number of mature trees available. We're rebuilding and playing catchup. It was more important, particularly this year, that we were open rath…

Timely. We just, as in a few hours ago, wrapped up our season as owners of a u-cut tree farm. It's relatively small, just under 30 acres. But our family was just doing a post-morte…

My youngest child was obsessed with Minecraft. To the point I decided to check it out, ended up running a server where he and I and my two adult children could play. This lasted a …

And closer to home: our beer flood of 2017. Although the only death was a little piece of pride, and a new IPA. https://www.facebook.com/FarmCreek/photos/a.425132817617510....

related but a little different (just FYI): some Intel nics can handle interrupt modulation. Decreased latency but wouldn't fix the open handle/scaling issues here.

Are these pieces of paper really worth $100 a piece or only the cost of the paper and ink? Since the notes never shipped, and likely won't, thus won't backed by the government I ha…

If these sites are being seized with no followup legal proceeding, this is outrageous and should not be tolerated. However, if this is just step one in some sort of court case for …

A company I worked for in Atlanta did the same thing (pay the difference). However, I suspect this is still the exception, not the rule.

I am relocating from Atlanta to San Francisco. I have a family and we have decided on living in the Walnut Creek area. I have been looking for a room to rent for November and Decem…

Interesting ideas. I just can't get past the fact the a Director as NASA actually said, "Anybody that watches the [Star Trek] Enterprise, you know you don’t see huge plumes of fire…
