I really do hope this rejuvenates development on Meteor

Does this mean now we should choose Huawei Infrastructure kit over any else's, as they're probably all as bad as each-other but at least Huawei's have been audited?

It's funny the way things have gone. Vietnam is supposed to be a communist country. The Vietnamese people are some of the greediest nationalities I have ever come across and the government officials and politicians are the greediest.

1. It's NOT the world's fastest shrinking country 2. Filming a god-forgotten village located in the poorest region of certain country does not depict anything. It's like saying that the ghetto part of Detroit depicts America.

Spain's government is simply trying to hide the fact that it is the #1 problem in the Spanish economy. [after the 2008 recession, economic researchers at Univerisidad Rey Juan Carlos in Madrid put out an analysis of the government's investments in alternative energy, which had been lavish. Results: every alternative energy job created resulted in 2.2 jobs lost in the rest of the economy. The average alternative energy job cost the taxpayer $800,000. Each job in the wind industry cost the taxpayer $1.4 million. The subsidies for photovoltaic installations were such that people would buy a solar panel, which would then qualify them for getting "net metering". They would then buy a gas generator and drive the meter backwards, and make enough money to pay for the generator, gasoline, the disconnected solar panel, and a tidy profit.

Even though I didn't understand it, I still found the article very interesting. I think I could understand it if I studied for a while. Sadly, I lack the time.

I still have hard time believing that commercial merger will result in Nginx remaining available as free and open source without any drawbacks and hidden payments for those requiring fully functional piece of software.
Let's see what follows.

What did you expect?
Everything you open up to commercialism will eventually turn to poo. Look at television and what it was initially meant to be and where its ended up.

The strangest thing for me is that there are a lot of children in this market who are interested in sneakers. Where did they get that amount of money?

Did the Author ever determine if the source images came from Drone-based WAMI or Satellite-based WAMI as originally reported? The original article in the intercept noted that the Google e-mails they had obtained showed that it was Satellite-based WAMI - which would sort of be a big deal..... AKA - who needs solar powered High Altitude Long Endurance (HALE) drone planes, blimps or aerostats to deploy Wide Area Persistent Surveillance when you can just put WAMI on Micro-sats that never come down and never blink?

Of course any discussion about labour vs capital share of gdp needs to talk about land as well. So ‘5. Could Wage Decoupling Be Explained By Increasing Labor-Vs-Capital Inequality?’ would be more interesting with land.
That also came up in the discussions around Piketty.

I really like this project. I think it’s pretty FN cool. Love the leather cover. I have some spare time, parts, old 8.9 inch acer screen just need a new controller board. And a raspberry pi zero w. Might give something similar a try.
Re:How the Varroa Mite’s True Diet Was Discovered
on Tuesday February 26, 2019 @08:50AM (#19254253)
So, I am assuming that the uptick in the volume of varroa during the August-September time frame might be because of the transition of the summer worker bee to the winter worker bee. The winter bee tends to have more fat, at least that is what I have read. Therefore, there might even be a correlation between the uptick during this time due to the bees developing more fat for the over wintering of the hive and a larger increase of the mite? Could this contribute to less ‘over wintering bees’ and hence the downfall of the hive due to lack of warmth?
