Yes, my point is that Hydroponics use very little water while traditional agriculture uses a large amount. If water were actually as expensive as it's scarcity, Hydroponics would be more competitive.

I wonder if it would be smart to labeled it "Organic Hydroponically grown" or "Hydroponically Grown Organic" or something similar

Yes, hydroponics produces the best possible quality food that can be made. Being a closed system, it also doesn't require pesticides so it's essentially organic anyhow. You are correct that Organic produce is the obvious immediate competito

Let's not forget: Aliyun OS is an admitted illegal closed-source Linux fork (And likely an Android ripoff). Perhaps China should comply with basic U.S. law if they want to sell things here.

Indeed, the economics of hydroponics would suggest that it should already dominate commercial vegetable production. The main reason they're not, is because municipalities greatly undervalue water, and because agriculture is so highly subsid

I don't begrudge having patent nukes for deterrence purposes. I begrudge using them offensively.

Bingo. Apple is essentially the world's most successful design company. Because they've done it electronically, they've unfortunately been granted patents to design principles that are quite ancient. If this is allowed it sets a bad precede

Black people didn't have full rights in the Mormon church until 1978. In 1984 it was presumably still a controversial decision.

Not all of Italy, only the South. That's why the biggest party in the north is a secessionist party. A lot of cool stuff comes out of the North, like Arduino.

Governments tend to think in terms of Bans and Mandates, rather than taxes and subsidies. The result is poorer, more expensive services, limited to ancient business models.

Hmm, I somewhat thought you were, because the term "Utopia" is usually used sarcastically when applied to Libertarianism, and often mentioned with Somalia. As for Detroit, as long as gangs don't fill the void, it could certainly be a great

Read the article. Kickstarter makes some 5% on these projects. Their site hosting costs can't be very much... I'd really like them to be, to some degree, consultants to project creators, and hire people that have business expertise in vario

Nothing special here, tax shelters work by generating artificial tax losses that are written off, or by using indefinite deferments. In this artificial losses are generated by the movie theater piling each shell company up with faux "servic

There is a lesson here in not using an obscure programming language like GO on such a small project if you aren't yourself a programmer willing to finish the project if need be.

Basically, "Because it's an SEC regulation" OK, then I understand why this company and other start ups follow this rule. But not why the rule is in place in the first place. To me, it sounds extremely discriminatory that any government regu

Can someone explain to me why you need to make 200k/year or have 1 Million in assets to participate in this when the minimum funding level is only 1k? I want to participate in this, but can't.

I wonder if this is a variation of the analyst theme of never, ever give a stock a sell rating?

Exactly, patents are like nukes. I can understand why few countries choose not to unilaterally disarm. But to use a nuke offensively is unthinkable. Yet that's exactly what apple has done, and now patent litigation is consuming the entire t
