I largely exited the standard food supply about two years ago after my partner developed a number of food allergies including Celiac. It has been altogether a wonderful experience. Our mix has been since then around 50% from farmers' m

I think small and mid-sized quads have dropped in price / increased in quality because of the fall in the price for gyroscopes, accelerometers, and ICs that can do decent sensor fusion. If you have ever broken these parts, you know tha

A surveillance-state Montessori with a big data fetish and a bottom line doesn’t count as reform, sorry AltSchool. I was particularly struck by: > “It’s not hard to model language acquisition if you can listen to every word a person is s
