Seriously, the article was about almonds. That's why the discussion is more focused on almonds than meat and dairy, or even some of the crops people are more aware of in California's agriculture, like strawberries, grapes, or avoc

The cost of water for residential use in California is already pretty ridiculous in many areas. As already mentioned many, many times, the problem is basically that there are multiple systems in place which subsidize water use in agricultur

The first failure of STEM education: statistics. 1. It says they don't work in STEM fields, not just their fields. My guess would be that the percentage would be much higher for people who don't work in their field, but in many ca

Very few people want to train developers. Essentially, that is the problem in the first place. Employers want educators to provide job training, when that's not what is supposed to happen in higher education. In the 1990s (and probably

The reasons tend to vary by region, but they still often come down to people playing games with job postings to try to get someone to fill a role that is bigger than what they are willing to pay for. I've had two employers give me a jo

While I've seen my dad struggle with reading glasses (and now bifocals) after not needing to correct his vision for the first 40+ years of his life, I've had mostly the same experience you describe for the last 20 years (thanks to

There's nothing convenient about corrective lenses, especially if you are far-sighted or need bifocals and are driving. This is also why the portion of the video that mentioned the GPS also mentioned the speedometer. However, until it

My ideal for driverless cars would be that, eventually, the ability for the cars to communicate with one another and detect each other would permit increased speeds and higher vehicle density on the roads. At some point, a human behind the

Daily meetings are a starting point to get people accustomed to progress meetings. The idea is to get an idea of what else is going on within the project and finding out when and where people need help early. As a team adapts their process,

There are no states in the U.S. that are not at-will states. When people make a differentiation between states based on some at-will status, it's usually based on the number of exceptions a state recognizes, none of which are based on

The purpose in founding the NTIS was to ensure that information and research was available to U.S. industry, government, academia, and the public. This is especially the case for government-funded research, but also includes technical infor

I generally just assume a tenured professor (or associate professor) of anything can write papers that will get accepted in certain journals. Making any further assumptions about what they can or can't do has been proven to be well out

If the test is below the level of education students were receiving before the test, it can not possibly increase the level of knowledge. In fact, the schools spend an enormous amount of time not only administering the tests, but also prepa

The tilde isn't missing, it's on the bottom-right, making it very strange for the times you need it. I really thought the fact that the ESC key was in its place was more problematic than moving the key, since it will either do not

This is also highly theoretical. If the machines are different enough, you can adapt quite well. Even if you have trouble telling other people exactly what to do, your brain doesn't have much trouble. I especially find it easier if I u

I don't remap it, either. I outright disable the key in the OS (simple option in OS X, registry edit in Windows). As others have pointed out, once you hit a couple of underscores you're not gaining much with the caps lock (if anyt

I think it largely depends on the person. If I rest my hands naturally on a traditional keyboard, my fingers end up somewhere around wdfv okjn. To pull them around to the home row basically involves tilting my hands outward and bringing my

Two major things combine to increase those entrance GPAs: 1) As the number of applicants increases, the number of openings increases at a much slower rate (if at all), and GPA is a simple starting point for quickly sorting out a large numbe

I also remember all of the courses taught in C (with some C++ for OOP). I find it really odd, though, working in a University environment and seeing the massive number of students in Java courses while IT is trying to limit the installation

The problem is that the argument for using 2 spaces was never originally about parsing the text with a computer. Further, even the justification for using 2 spaces in the article is not doing so, either, it's an attempt at justifying

Publishers routinely reject things simply based on presentation for the simple fact that most authors are willing to do a significant amount of the work (that would otherwise be done by typesetters and editors) just to ensure they get publi

The thing is that the period on a typewriter will usually be aligned towards the previous letter, so a "period space" sequence on a typewriter will have nearly the same amount of space as would be seen in a "period space spac

The double spaces only serve as a presentational quirk, too. The amount of space after the sentence ends does not determine whether or not it has ended. Most mass-produced material no longer uses longer spaces after the end of a sentence, a

The formulas used to calculate eligibility for various forms of financial aid as a US student include an assumption (up until the age of 25 if I remember correctly) that the parents will be paying a certain amount, based on their income. My
