It's been many years since I was actively involved in agriculture, but I don't recall John Deere being a monopoly. There were choices including Ford, Case, Masse Ferguson, Kubota, New Holland and then regionally brands like MTZ an

I often present on a conference call and then distribute the deck to all attendees afterwards. It'd be useful to know who subsequently opened the presentation and what they looked at.

Thanks for reminding me about Everything2. I used to spend so much time on that site, but somewhat forgot about it over the years.

AIS can be turned off. This does raise red flags, but it doesn't seem to stop ships doing it, about 20 million times.[1][2] [1] https://www.wired.co.uk/article/ships-turn-off-tracking-syst... [2] https:/&#x2

Enforcement at destination countries is far too simplistic to assume. There are too many countries who just won't care, for example Somalia, Haiti, many in S.E. Asia, and many others where a bribe will suffice. Then there are a lot of

All well and good, but who is going to enforce these speed limits in international waters? Reading Ian Urbina's Outlaw Ocean[1] was an eye opener regarding what activities happen in effectively un-policed international waters. [1] htt

Thanks. That's a really interesting concept and probably good from a safety aspect too. I've played rugby from age 12 to 35, in Australia, South Africa and England. I'd never heard of weight restricted teams. Having said that

The first thing to do would be look up the Scientific Discussion or Monograph as filed with the FDA for the brand name product. With the details obtained from there, you'd know what to test for. The first steps would be assay and impur

Born in the early 70s in Australia, there's something visceral about Holden V8s. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xMUx4DXDhA0 And the Monaro GTS sedan on the HJ Wikipedia page is my idea of a family car. https:/&#

Well, yes, but so is Denmark and Firefox desktop marketshare in that country is down to 4.55%.

Quite an interesting disparity across markets. In Germany, Firefox's desktop marketshare is above 25%. Poland, 20%. France, 16%, Spain 11%, UK and US 8%. I picked those examples as a mix of language markets, the two largest non-English

When not high, I could rationalise that cancer fact the same way many other smokers probably do. When stoned, I focused on that fact and made myself paranoid about it.

I moved to another country where I didn't have the same network of friends and contacts. Basically, changed my environment and was busy setting up a new life. I didn't move to another country to give up cannabis, it was just a hap

A similar story, with a sample size of one - me. Smoking marijuana helped me quit smoking cigarettes. One of the reasonably well known side effects of smoking pot is sometimes a feeling of intense paranoia. Well, over a period of a few mont

> "Old mate" => Someone who's not your friend Yeah, I dunno about that. I reckon "old mate" refers to someone you don't know particularly well, rather than someone who specifically isn't your friend.

I think that's correct. By default when I opened an Austrian bank account I was only issued a Maestro card, which when used does debit my current account balance, it can't be used for online transactions. I still have a Visa debit

Charging a lot for the data is self defeating. In order for the sport to grow, more people need to be interested in the sport. One measure of interest is betting turnover. And a proportion of betting turnover is usually used to fund the ind

You've hit the nail on the head. It's all about vested interests. I was involved for a number of years with a UK based horse racing ratings service (handicapping if in the US). This service used to license their base data from the

Here's an idea from an Australian website where you can build a very basic model, using past results (which are of course no guarantee of future performance) and then sell it. Or alternatively, you can buy "qualifiers" for th
