I think "grazing land that could have been used for crops without additional improvements " (emphasis mine) doesn't include e.g. established pasture which could be easily but not trivially used as cropland, right? I would ha

The public association of soy with xenoestrogens is what I was talking about, not actual consumption. Soy's a good dietary staple but it's hampered by the (probably incorrect) perception that it's going to feminise men.

Aero Dili has two planes in its fleet: a Cessna 207T and a 14 year old secondhand Airbus A320. They started leasing the A320 last year with help from DAE Capital. They operate out of Timor-Leste , so neither they nor their passengers are e

I agree with this - in practice any rule can be broken - but how easily it's broken and whether developers are explicitly told to break it is a process decision. How big a roadblock is your CI putting in the path of developers? If you

This is the kind of half-correct pithy quote which falls down at the edge cases, e.g. if you're writing an algorithm that selects the lowest-speed car for new learner drivers and for some reason a blissfully unaware learner ends up in

Late J2ME apps were quite good. I remember having Opera Mini (which was a surprisingly good browser), Google Maps, an ebook reader, a GBA emulator, and even a video player which could play down-converted video at reasonable framerates. This
