Do you have a link for that? Checked their site just now (on mobile though), did not see a relevant link.

What sort of pipeline? Biological?

Jackfruit has a great, rich taste; I like it, although I don't go much for sweet foods generally (I make an exception now and then, for some). The sticky stuff between the edible parts is a bit of a turnoff, though. Not easy to get it off your hands, once on. Also, the fruit has a strong smell, but not a bad one, IMO.

You cannot eat a lot of it, since it is rather dense, though soft.

It's also one of those wonder plants, like neem, banana and coconut, with many uses.

Not bizarre.

The mango has at least an equal claim to be the King of Fruits.

Based on looking up durian in Wikipedia, and having seen large jackfruits in India, I can say that jackfruit can grow much larger.

I was wondering the same, as someone who has eaten jackfruit but never durian.

Thanks.

Unfortunately not. It's not insurance all the way down. Turtles, on the other hand ...

Loss from stealing was called 'shrinkage' by retail industry people, in Sam Walton's autobiography 'Made in America'. As you say, they expected to have some. I wonder why it can't be prevented 100%.

Ha ha, yes. Seen them many times when in Mumbai. They are an "institution". IIM Ahmedabad and Harvard Business School have done case studies on them. They are supposed to be very organized and rarely make a mistake in delivery. There's even a Bollywood about them, The Lunchbox:

Interesting. Why oiled and soap-treated?

>Retirement is boring, youll end working anyway just to have something to do.

Hobbies, dude. Tons of interesting hobbies, available for the doing, many requiring little to no financial outlay.

And with some fields like programming, you can even do the same work post-retirement, just for fun or to teach others.

I don't know much about GMO, but am intuitively against things like it and cloning. Personal opinion.

NP. (Replying from my other id.)

Yes, a Page fault.

;-)

Cool, thanks for the tip.

Such places - quiet, natural, rural, scenic, etc. - should really be the norm, not the exception. I am reminded of Gandhi's reply to someone (maybe a reporter) asking him "What is your opinion of civilization?"

He said "I think it would be a good idea."

Thanks, will check.

Interesting points. Is OCaml's compiler faster than Rust's?

>One that has interested me lately is called 8th

Link, please? Did not find a page about the makers of 8th, though I googled and saw some other related pages I'm reading.

They call them devops these days.

>an OOP-enabled ML like F# or Ocaml beats the pants off of the likes of something like python

Can you explain why you think so?
