Intello Labs, the computer visionaries of food quality control

For most shoppers, it is easy to spot the squelchy, sad-looking tomatoes marooned on the back of the shelf. Subtle traits in color, feel, smell, or texture swiftly drive reactions like, “ah, well: they’re discounted and still edible; I guess I’ll still buy them,” or, “it’s definitely past its best, so I’ll find another batch somewhere else,” or even, “those tomatoes are so awful, you can’t even throw them at a medieval criminal languishing in the stocks; this is the last time I shop here.”

Intermarriage in the U.S. 50 Years After Loving v. Virginia

In 2015, 17% of all U.S. newlyweds had a spouse of a different race or ethnicity, marking more than a fivefold increase since 1967, when 3% of newlyweds were intermarried, according to a new Pew Research Center analysis of U.S. Census Bureau data.

Until this ruling, interracial marriages were forbidden in many states.

“Then why did you bring it?”

“I didn’t think it would rain!”
