I don't think Kings County/Brooklyn has a municipal compost pile. Nor any active dumps in the city limits. Also I would guess the "local farm" bit is showing that they are supporting tiny/small businesses which is e

As far as I know "Scotch" and "Cognac" are only protected in the EU. In any case, the parent claims that Frank-Lin Distillers just uses pure ethanol to produce all of it's products. Given things such as bourbon perm

Wait, are you saying that the concept of "globalization" didn't exist prior to the late 1990s? Most historians seem to agree that it has existed as far back as ancient Greece if not further. If you are just measuring how freq

Do they do work for Diageo? It looks like the list of products, at least on their site, isn't something I really encounter in advertisements, promotions or really at any bars I've gone to.

I've also heard that in some cities it increased the number of people who were unfed since many bars offered a free lunch (think bowl of today's stew) with the purchase of a drink. When you get rid of the alcohol subsidizing the f

Wouldn't a lot of that be due to globalization? No sense in advertising Remy Martin to people in revolutionary New York when the cost of transporting a bottle there would have been obscene.

I wonder if the lock up for going public is more strict than when the company is being purchased for stock in a public company. E.g. Mark Cuban seemed to be able to use options to hedge his exposure to Yahoo: http://investmentxyz

From your link: Founded: 2004 Series A: Nov 1, 2007 Sounds like they had a pretty long period of bootstrapping compared to most startups that have gone public. Compare to Facebook which says it was founded Feb 2004 and took it's first

Oh seems like it would have been just as easy to grab census data for the past 50 years and run through last names by decreasing frequency. Here I thought you had found a unique zipcode.

To be fair, anyone who uses numpy or scipy ends up using Fortran even if they don't know it. A lot of scientific libraries have been ultra optimized for Fortran. I'm sure optimized libraries could be written in any language, howev
