Then explain what you meant. I contend this is not "routine and seldom makes the news." and I back that up by claiming that it's uncommon for orchard farmers to change crops. What part of that doesn't make sense?

That's fair, I was mostly trying to point out that the first fruiting is very much not something you could really count on for a profit. You wouldn't want an orchard filled with trees that are first fruiting.

Stone fruit (like peaches) are all typically grafted. And that 2 to 3 years is when the trees first fruit, not when you get a full harvest from the tree. The 10 to 20 years is when the tree is fully mature and producing it's max amou

No, not typically. And I know this because I grew up around farmers and farmers that had orchards. Trees would be cut down and replaced, usually if the tree was sickly. But not because this year plums are doing better on the market. As I

The big thing I fear about this sort of destruction is that it takes a very long time for tree bearing fruit to start turning a profit. That means someone that wants to plant new trees needs to do so with the notion that they won't ge

Seems like a pretty good analogy as you admit there have been advancements while the basic structure has remained the same. Not sure why you have a pet peeve when it is highly analogous. The ultimate shape of DRAM is the same, the main thi

Not that crazy. It's about the most basic structure you can make. Hard to make a better wheel. The closest thing I can think of that's come close to maybe challenging DRAM is HP's memristors but those really didn't pan

UV light is ionizing radiation. It's not as penetrative as gamma radiation but it still interacts in the same manor as gamma. The interaction of UV light with the skin causing a sunburn is the skin being damaged by ionizing radiation
