The article mentions the book by Valentino Braitenberg as the source of inspiration.

" The sparks that we assembled in this article are based on a series of thought experiments by the neuroscientist Valentino Braitenberg described in his delightfully quirky 1984 book Vehicles: Experiments in Synthetic Psychology."

I have not been following this very closely but it seems like the source of this cyclospora contamination has been very challenging to identify.

Especially because it takes weeks before the infected start showing symptoms.

Isn't it reasonable to update the official statement as new information emerges?

What if the Ammonia is used locally? Potentially, in that Minnesota farm.

It eliminates the need to connect the turbine to the grid.

Aahh video games that's clever. I apologize, I am not a video game person.

Hopefully someone here knows a good cricket video game.

Best.

There is more... The batter can swing, miss the ball completely and hit the wicket! Then it's a "hit wicket" and the batter is out.

You still with me ;-)

In baseball, intentionally walking a batter to avoid a hit is considered "fair".

This incident was an intentional pitch (bowl) to a avoid a "home run" and in cricket it is sacrilege.

Explaining Cricket to a Baseball fan only makes it worse.

I have tried it many times and failed.

Personally, playing a few games of cricket is the best way to learn the rules of the game.

As an example, in your explanation ( which is good to this lifelong cricket fan from India) your first sentence starts "A cricket pitch..." And when a baseball fan reads it he is probably asking "What is a cricket pitch?"

Does fintech here mean "crypto" and central bank currencies transactions?

A 2007 article from sourceforge.net and it's not even throwback Thursday.

I now work in an I.T dept of a financial company in U.S and I've also worked at software companies in India.

They are all sweatshops these days.

I live in the U.S.

road.cc seems to be a cycling news site primarily for U.K.

When I am driving a car or use a rideshare I expect to share the bike lane when turning or getting off.

I wish the title had included these additional words "In some situations..."
