Sorry I wasn’t clear, only talking about retail distribution, not direct package sales. No question plenty of breweries have found a way to be successful outside of normal retail. But they should be able to distribute, without large multina

This would be a problem even with direct distribution. Just replace distributor with retailer. Here in Kentucky, AB Inbev owned a distributor and was quietly playing these games. After some shenanigans, KY adjusted the three tier rules to p

The big alcohol companies force distbutors to carry certain products, or even not carry comepetitors products. An example: you want to keep selling a macro like Bud or scopes that makes up 40% of your revenue ? Drop that local brewery, we h

The charts are over a decade, wouldn’t be surprising if North Dakota could be explained by the oil boom that happened there. No idea about Utah...

IF you run in to this again, Adafruit gives away an app for Arduino that can easily display data and control I/O. It's pretty neat! https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/adafruit-bluefruit-le-connec...

Entity Framework replaced LINQ to SQL years ago - it’s had multiple major revisions, and two major revs of the .NET Core version. The initial version in 2008 was a total mess. It wasn’t until a few years later that the XML definition and co

Zenni is astonishingly good if you know what size frames fit you. If you’ve already got glasses that fit, the dimensions are often printed on the arms. It takes a bunch of time to check sizes and narrow down the options but 100% worth it. I

Is tuition actually going up by that much? Most schools raise prices to raise scholarships to raise rankings, leaving revenue virtually flat. There is a coordinated effort to temporarily exempt schools from antitrust rules so they can colle

ES2015/commonjs interop currently sucks with TS. This is how you only import flatten: import flatten = require('lodash/flatten') TS expects any modules imported using ES2015 import to have the shape of a ES2015 mo

I was curious too, so: https://github.com/Microsoft/ReSub Looks similar to rxjs or mobx based state stores.

Cellphone companies is one more layer in their trust circle. It's easier to just bypass them and collect the data yourself. Warrants only really became a requirement in 2015. And police were misleading judges on Stingray usage to hide

The Xamarin tools have supported using a remote Mac to run the simulator. Microsoft has an iOS shim library and Objective-C tool chain for porting apps to Windows, but it's very much in preview.

We currently have crazy import tariffs on Chinese made automobile tires. The result has been 1,200 jobs saved and consumers paid an extra billion dollars for tires. There is no free lunch with trade. https://www.google.com/a

You're right, that resolution is a waste of money on 12.5" screen. Can be had with a QHD (2560 x 1440) display for $200 less. And just because I was curious: MacBook Pro 13" 1370g MacBook Pro 15" 1830g Razer Blade Stealt

Apple is shipping last year's mobile CPUs. Dell is shipping current gen Kaby Lake in the XPS 13 as of a week ago, so they are available in some quantity. Kind of surprising, since Intel works so close with Apple and they were the first

It all comes down to the engagement metrics. Facebook and Twitter will stick with live video as long as people keep watching. Same reason Twitter pulled Periscope viewing in to the main app - helps them pump up the numbers.

Red on the AWS status board means there has been an extinction level event, right? Maybe that would still be a yellow - intelligent life could evolve again and resolve the outage.

Lack H265 support is likely due to licensing costs, despite the advantages the codec provides. Just about everyone is staying away until the cost and terms become more reasonable. Apple is willing to eat the costs for FaceTime because of ho

Most CDNs by default make a request per POP. You can usually enable "origin shield", which will cause the CDN to make a single request and distribute the file to POPs internally.

Please be careful with helmet mounts. There have been some serious injuries attributed (maybe incorrectly!) to rigid mounts transferring energy in ways helmets aren't designed for.

The article says the second phone is just for accelerometer data, so it could be replaced by some sort of Bluetooth device. I'm sure one of the many fitness trackers on the market provide real time data.

That depends on where you live. The house a few doors down rents for $1100/month. My mortgage, insurance, and utilities for a similar home is under $850/month. Of course, I'm in Kentucky where property is dirt cheap.

It is a very similar situation where I am in the Midwest/Southern US. Most "investors" are doctors/lawyers/etc that think investing in a startup is an alternative to the stock market.

I was also worried, but figured it could always be returned. So far it's been perfectly adequate. The CPU scaling and power management seems to be balanced really well. Email is in my profile if you'd like me to time a solution bu
