Exactly. That's what drove me crazy.

My friend thought this was weird as well, but apparently common. People think vet's are trying to rip them off when they ask for a $70 x-ray, but they're okay with paying for a blind surgery.

I believe the mimetype check on Android must have only been applied to production environments. It's an odd one.

ShMcK··on Ask HN: Agriculture startups doing interesting work?
I'm an application developer at Semios (Vancouver, BC).

Semios has one of the largest IoT networks in agriculture to gather and analyze data to help farmers drive data-driven solutions. The network collects micro-climate data to predict disease and pest risk, alert growers of risks in real-time, and help improve water efficiency.

We have a complex stack composed of hardware, embedded, applications, data engineers and data scientists. We're hiring!

As an example, Semios helps growers reduce pest populations organically by disrupting the insect communication channels using pheromone released by IoT devices in the field. We track the effectiveness of pheromone using cameras in the field, and machine-learning algorithms to count pests.

ShMcK··on Ng-book 2 is out
Actually, the ES6 and TypeScript versions are virtually indistinguishable, so it's not worth posting both on the site. The only difference being the types/interfaces are dropped in ES6.
