Crop Insurance will have requirements for protocols that must be followed to make a crop insurable. For instance, some fruit or seed crops have pollination requirements of 2 hives per acre which must be carried out or they will not provide coverage for certain types of crop failure.

An alternative analog would be not noticing that a cow was acting up, and allowing a whole herd to contract tuberculosis because a farmer didn't contact the vet or isolate parts of his herd from each other or the neighbors. Some things just happen, and they suck. But some things happen when you aren't on top of good management practices, and that sucks but some of it is on the farmer.

As a few comments have pointed out there seems to be a bit of a disconnect between the article and the state of things on the ground.

For more on AFB, since the article doesn't describe it or the treatment protocols well - https://beeinformed.org/2013/10/21/american-foulbrood-afb/

Apart from rules particular to NZ, because I do not know them, a key factor is that honey and wax containing AFB spores can transmit AFB to other bees in other colonies. The reason this is important is that beekeepers ( speaking as one ) move equipment between hives to balance their growth and give more space to make honey as needed. This is especially true after the honey harvest, when we empty frames of honey and give the wax honey comb back to the bees for them to get ready for the winter.

That makes the timing of this crucial, as it will be less likely for the beekeeper to reduce the damage if the boxes have been removed for harvest, and disassociated from their hive of origin when AFB is discovered. If you can't say where it came from and where it didn't, then it came from everywhere.

It isn't a fun hand to be dealt, and certainly it is worthy of more visibility and research, but it isn't worth wishing he didn't have to destroy it. Even the treatments available need to be used before adding equipment that will be used for honey, because the honey will shield the spores from the treatment and preserve the transmissibility of foul brood.

I lived with someone who designed bridges for a living but couldn't yet call himself an engineer. The Engineer on his team was the person qualified to sign the drawings drafted by others, verifying that they met certain standards. The man I lived with was studying for the PE exam [0] pouring over large books of standards he would need to know in order to call himself an Engineer.

This is where I would start. Presumably you’re after more than simply ‘calendars’ and the Nextcloud Stacy integrates with ( sometimes built-in, depending on deployment ) caldav services. It’s also arguably a contender to replacing the M365 stack, with webmail, notes, chat, collaboration even including video

The pain evident in his life story seems to shatter the very assumptions of language even.

I read in that sentence something of the nature of "Humans can't even plumb the depths of 'existence' with surety to understand how to bring that idea to a superseding and underlying ever-being of a God"

Tillich would overload the semi-colon in C.

Further than genetics, the training section of the article touches on directional and non-directional training, and training at distances.

It seems that you would likely be working with a message sender, and a pigeoneer preparing resources for the teams in the field. The pigeoneer could possibly have cohorts of pigeons at different stages of training and performance, and it would be bad to foul up the bird selection when sending them into battle. The specialization of this reminds me of one of the things my grandfather ( Korean War era ) used to say, "If something is worth doing, it is worth doing well"

A System is laid out here so that any qualified private could go through the basic training and have the tools he needs to be a successful pigeoneer, supporting his unit and providing the records in standard form to lower the bus-factor impact, and enable his promotion.

This is a nerd-snipe for me. I have need for a pickup truck moving bees, and replaced the engine two years ago. I really wanted to try Chevy's own electric kit, but it was not available for general applications at that time. I also wanted to use my truck for long-distance driving, and the charging infrastructure in my area ( Southeast ) is not as developed as the West coast.

I also find that this market has the most opportunity to make a difference in emissions for the medium-heavy pickups that move so much of LTL freight and regional deliveries.

I’m the article he pivoted from the magnets and used the publicity he got from the story to overfund a bike-attached sweeper of a type previously shared on HN

To go along with this, I looked up one of the songs recorded in the piece to find the words and found much more[^1]. What got my attention was the player on the right that seems to use some DECtalk-like composition to generate the tracks.

  All content, reviews, and certain code snippets were generated by ChatGPT.

I’m interested in what was successful straight-away for the code snippets. The ability to have an LLM bang out the boilerplate and get a project up and online is really exciting.

I’ve managed dashboards before and the type of content that does well there is not the type of content that does well on hacker news, at least not in the native format.

The stuff that works well as a dashboard is graph or gauge form where at a glance or by it’s change you notice an anomaly. Think green-yellow-red classified stuff. It might direct you where to go.

You might be able to consume the front page data and graph the number of comments to indicate a story’s activity.

Or you could go deeper and track for swings in karma score of posts or users

I know that later in the article the language changes to “scarce” instead of “does not exist” but blue, though uncommon, is certainly a thing.

Most prominently in my garden, the Thai Butterfly Pea Flower [0] is blue, and the tea from it is blue ( though it goes purple when honey or lemon are added )

Honorable mentions include Bachelor’s Button, Borage and verbena, though I’m sure there are likely arguments about color in some of those.

If you’re higher up the stack, sure. If you want performance, you want to keep the dev/prod environment alike so that you can properly optimize

Unfortunately that is an illustration of what I mean. Iraq and Ukraine participated in nuclear disarmament and monitoring. Iran has continued to pursue nuclear development and gets very diplomatic kid-gloves from even US military retaliation on Iran-backed groups in the area.

The US was very clear in not attacking Iranians, though Iranian support was the vehicle by which US troops were attacked. Iran got a measured response for its allies because Iran 'carries a big stick'

It should probably be restated that instead of the conflict in Ukraine catching our production capacity off guard, that rather it was our production posture along with denuclearization and disarmament of Ukraine that set the stage for the conflict.

I’m not a “team America world police” advocate, much more the opposite. Even as stated in the article, most production is more interested in a deterrent. Hate ‘em or hate ‘em, nukes are a deterrent to open war. Reference our posture toward retaliating against Iran-backed groups this week.

Russia didn’t like a nuclear neighbor, it said. So the US brokered a nuclear disarmament of Ukraine with the interests of reducing the tension (sic) with Russia, and on the assurance of support from the US should they need it.

The stage was set on the thin hope of peace.

“Compared IBM LinuxONE 4 Express Model consisting of a CPC drawer and an I/O drawer to support network and external storage with 12 IFLs and 736 GB of memory in 1 frame, versus compared 3 x86 servers with two Xeon Sapphire Rapids Platinum 8444 processors with 32 cores each (2ch/32c) with a total of 384 cores”

I’m not a math major, but that’s a bit strange to me.

The feeling you get when you’ve gone into one of those aircraft hanger-size buildings and then you see some of the information they’ve gotten with ground tests ( radar, mercury, etc ) is wild. The site is huge.

One of the suppositions is that the main chamber contained a model of his entire kingdom, replete with rivers of mercury.

So yes. Archaeology is a bit destructive, and sometimes the destruction can go both ways. Proceed with caution.

If we’re talking about the known universe, the odds of your near-light navigation accidentally clipping a not-mapped-yet planet are certainly not zero.

Our gaze into the heavens is much better at spotting stars than their dark orbiting bodies, and we have fingers left over from one hand counting the number of observation platforms observing deep space from above our shimmering atmosphere.

I have more than a decade of customer support experience. Starting in high-profile conference rooms, solving problems for executives and their support teams, I've worked in large enterprise orgs and seen good decisions and bad. I'm interested in building a support team that integrates well with your engineers, but lets them run faster.

I like being a part of keeping technology's promise to make life better for people.

I’m not a gamer, but I am a coffee person, and as a potential customer a few things come to mind. The “supplement jar” packaging isn’t familiar, and there may be reasons why you wouldn’t put a high end coffee in a sealed container, but the label doesn’t say that it’s whole bean coffee. At first I thought is was concentrate or similar. When you differentiate in some aspects like packaging, it is important to be similarly clear to avoid being misleading.

I would think that a gamer-focus would tend toward ready-to-drink options ( I seem to remember Bawls going for this market ) not ultra-high-end whole bean. And that’s where I’m struggling. I pay more for great coffee, and even more for businesses I like ( purpose statement, what you do with a portion of profits ) but your prices are double for half ( nearly ).

In a bold play like this, I would go after the people buying gifts for gamers.

This sort of work is not done by 'a city'

Matteson Capital and Thinkbox[0] are cited as the clients by the architect AO as listed in the article

Developers take a big swing sometimes, sometimes to get interest in their proposals ( the internet likes it, so my local counsel will have to approve it ), sometimes to get attention from other partners to do big projects together. This may be a portfolio piece, even if never completed as proposed here.

I don't know much about OKC but a certain musical theatre work has me very interested in the wind loading studies for this building.

I got weird feelings about that as well.

I'm not sure they mean to start a RTO Krewe, but it sure feels like they're calling out the WFH Krewe.

I already want to request this functionality from one vendor I work with regularly. The proliferation of Ubuntu desktop-based appliances, but the disconnect with tier one techs having so little fluency on Linux, makes this a support tool of epic proportions.

Adding to what has already been said- New registrations are the food for probing. You could have an IP on someone's naughty list from a previous user. It's any other day on the internet.

That's just what the neighborhood ( the whole internet ) looks like from the sidewalk.

So, Set up a free Cloudflare account, move your DNS of record to them, and run traffic through Cloudflare to your server.

Publicly available apps for orgs that require an account in order to do much of anything exist. You could download the app and end up in no-account purgatory
