Earlier quoted context omitted.

Who's "deliberately inflicting" anything? Which "conditions of life" are being so inflicted which are disproportionately deleterious to white populations vs. other populations? Do you understand that the term "physical destruction" means something rather more extensive than a gradual, unguided change in demographics?

There will be hardly any countries with a white majority left by 2050. Countless instances of the media, activists and politicians telling us how less white people is a good thing. Being white is the new "original sin" in the secular liberal mind. Calling the demographic change "unguided" is laughable.

I have some personal experience with applying computer/machine vision techniques to assessing rice quality. In India, rice quality assessment is a high value activity as the difference in per unit weight price is dramatic across different varieties of rice. The longer the grain, as an example, the pricier it is. Discoloration is also an indicator of bad quality rice. Since there is such a huge difference in price, th…

As an ag/tech startup, I'm very interested in this device. is there a way to contact you for more information?

This was 7 years back my friend. We built software prototype for measuring dimensions, classifying grain type and measuring color / brokenness. For hardware we had some initial designs where the objectives were - to easily put grains on a platform so they are separated from each other, easy cleaning and lighting uniformity. We had conceived some rotating or vibrating disks for grain separation. But the mechanical part of the hardware wasn't actually built. I have moved on. There is nostalgia around that was triggered by this thread, but nothing more at this point. Sorry to disappoint.
