Leafy greens along with soft fruit need quite a bit of labour which is in short supply in higher income countries. It makes some sense to target them.

Too many people spend their whole careers somewhere (lost wages, lost skills and atrophy) because they still feel like the company actually cares for them.

They don’t.

So does this mean something like crowd sourced scoring of sentiment does better than algorithmic detection? Or do people suck just as badly?
I wonder what the reason that leafy greens would be the "lowest hanging fruit" to go after at first? I assume because they are rapidly growing and would therefore yield a high crop yield, and things like baby spinach in grocery stores always feels brutally expensive - so perhaps a good starting point in terms of retail markup possible? Lightweight, high price point, etc.
> If your excel files have anything for forward planning and you want to share those files, I'd be interested.

Unfortunately there was no planning involved, one spreadsheet was just for her to put stuff she bought and the spreadsheet would calculate how much she spent in the month/week. Another one was for her to calculate how much the Saturday children center she is running would earn per month.

Since you made a webapp for personal finances, let me mention you the one a friend made: https://spendbook.net/main it doesn't do planning but I think he'll still be happy to get some feedback.

I think that pretty much speaks to how shamefully bad politics has gotten here in the US. I see a couple of comments that jump to speculate that it could be used as a tool of politics, or that they would rather opt-out of knowing about an imminent threat to themselves and/or their fellow American's lives. I think it's selfish, considering smoke and CO2 detectors can't warn you of nuclear attacks. If an office of the state was responsible for calling out a fire in the building, I would want every chance to be informed, regardless of whether or not they were my prefered elected official. Obviously, if the system was abused I would want it to be fixed.
The marginal effect of 1 person buying ugly produce is that that set of produce does not get donated. In other words, a marginal decrease in inkind donations to foodbanks. This can be directly offset by a monetary donation.
Yeah, Congruence is kind of dead in the water right now. I should fix that, but it's going to be a while before I have the time to tackle the project again.

My current work is as an ordinary devops engineer at a very, very large company.

I do want to go after the problem space again (mostly, helping find the problems caused by interdependencies of complex, slow-changing systems - "System A changed, so System B broke"). But it's a seriously nontrivial problem, which is why there aren't any good products out there for it.
This native English speaker honestly parsed it twice, and that's what I came up with. I don't watch TV news, though, so it didn't occur to me until now that people get and watch TV before work. I just go to work. <shrug>
Hosting personal projects being the task at hand, super high availability isn't usually a headline requirement.

> Delivering high voltage to recharge the amperage these batteries need is a whole different grid in remote areas to delivering 240v for light bulbs and fridges.

If they have 240v outlets, that's half the battle. That is around 31 miles per hour of charge, from a standard outlet (although you have to make sure your wiring is good) without any extra infrastructure.

This may not be sufficient for a cross-country drive across the continental US, but for most european countries? You can drive 300 miles and charge overnight even with no fast charging at all.

Compare this with setting up gas stations (digging underground to install the tanks, logistics to keep them topped off, etc) and gasoline starts to look quite insane. It's just that we have this existing infrastructure built over a century that we take for granted.
That's hyperbolic and absurd. The objection is against the deceptive marketing.

In my specific situation, greed isn’t exactly at play.

My boss doesn’t have any direct financial stake in the outcome of our/my work. And yet - my workload and occupational expectations are such that I’m routinely in a position requiring significant overtime. I’m also aware that this is often true in other public school districts, less true in private schools, and even worse in many charter school networks.

Teaching is an emotionally exhausting job; however, it’s the combination of intensity + working hours + low compensation that pushes me toward industry (anyone looking for a UX Research Assistant in the Minneapolis area?)
I stretch because it feels good. I don’t expect a cure from cancer for it, though.

In short, Jordan Peterson is a Canadian (iirc) professor who picked the easiest position possible: "SJWs are overly dramatic emos" and got fired for it, so he became a kind of pseudo-intellectual martyr on youtube.

"ludicrously inefficient"

No, they're not. They're, as implemented in a car, a ludicrous example of engineering compromises.

Put a hybrid drive methane spark-ignition high compression engine and you'll have similar CO2 emissions from a e-car powered by a thermal plant (the vast majority of our power). It'll cost as much as a Tesla too.
Agreed, but you can break down all large tasks into small ones.

We don't read war and peace in one sitting either, we read part of a chapter. Likewise working through materials can be done in smaller pieces while part of a larger whole.

The monolith structure of a course that can't be broken down is the challenge.
Because we somehow managed to _not_ import them for several decades/centuries before one finally slipped through, and we only have to avoid exporting them until they die out, which sounds like it would only take a few years.
Ask HN: What gestures do you use on a daily basis?
I recently discovered that in Youtube (on android 8), I could double-tap (triple, 4x, 5x, etc) on the right or left of a full screen video to forward or rewind the video by 10 seconds for every tap after the 1st. For example, I could rewind the video by 60 seconds if I tapped the screen 7 times left of center.

For whatever reason, this greatly enhanced my use of Youtube, and got me thinking about other everyday gestures that I might have missed that either improve joy, efficiency, or productivity.

What gestures have you found in your life that are of profound significance to how you go about working or playing? Something along the lines of, if the gesture no longer worked, would irritate you for all time.

Mouse gestures, tapping, phone-flicking, all gestures are fair game.

In the same line and as an anecdotal aside, here in Bavaria we are soon going to have state-wide elections (i.e. for Bavaria). One party that is known to be a kind of comedic joke party but nevertheless actually managed to get someone elected for EU parliament put up posters all over town that are not all that funny down deep: For background, here in Germany quite a few retirees walk around town and collect deposit bottles out of trash bins, to make a little bit of money on top of their meager pensions. The poster ad suggests as election slogan of "Die Partei" ("The Party") to increase the per-bottle deposit in order to decrease poverty, so that retirees get more money from rummaging in trash bins.

I think that's a similar variant of the twisted logic that you call out, but while it probably isn't intentional in the example discussed here (looks more like an emergent property nobody planned for) they use it deliberately to make a point, to make people think.
In my country (New Zealand) the fuel tax goes into the infrastructure fund which keeps roads maintained. It also funds public transport.

We’re going go have to come up with creative solutions when most vehicles are electric.
It's not as much about the fact that people don't want to do the work, it's about the quality of life said work allows. These cheap farm laborers need housing food schools medicine transportation goals a life.

What robots do is reduce all that ripple effect of societal load on all the other aspects of sustaining the labor force and their human needs.

Focusing on simply labor and it's price for the task at hand is stupidly myopic.

And reveals the greater impact autonomous robotic labor will really have.

Let's assume California's Central valley in 50 years time is vast swaths of robotic farms.

All other human infrastructure in these places die. Restaurants, stores, schools, housing, police fire etc fall back to early 1900s levels (or some smaller density level of the past)
I share your parent's skepticism. It seems obvious that cars sold in the US are not averaging 37 MPG when the average car is roughly a RAV4 that gets 22/29.(EDIT: It occurs to me that the RAV4 may be classified as a light truck -- even so, I can go pick a passenger car...)

As far as I can tell taking a quick look at your links, the difference can be in two things. First, these are fuel economy standards companies are expected to hit, and not reporting on whether they hit them or missed and paid penalties. Second there's the phrase "Assumes manufacturers fully use low-GWP A/C refrigerants credits". Apparently fuel economy numbers are boosted by these credits--actual fuel economy isn't the same thing, it appears?

(EDIT: Overall fuel economy for cars and trucks combined was 24.8 mpg in MY2015 [1])

My brother actually hit a deer on takeoff a few years ago in Charlotte. It was all over the news that day. It did not do as much damage as this drone did. Mostly just dented in the face of the wing which caused fuel to leak out. It was a little closer to the fuselage. That prompted an emergency landing.

It really hurt initially but it only took about 3 months to get back to running. It took years, though, to really get the form to a point that it wouldn't introduce new injuries. My coach would set a certain volume (weekly mileage) and intensity based on where I was at form-wise, and grew it over time. I went through a number of injuries during this time, but none of them stopped me from running outright. Eventually I gained enough experience to know when I was doing something wrong and how to correct it. Running should never hurt—pain is how your body communicates with you.

In the last couple of years I've learned that it's important to really focus on whole body fitness, not just what's necessary for running. Strength and mobility are key.
Launch pains, system went down.
Yes developers are quite narrow sighted, we nag about how silly interviews in our area are, we don't even know what is it like to be interviewed as chemical engineer for example.

Follow up with that we get bunch of startups and tools from developers for developers because that is what we focus on. Where making small tool for some other profession could be even more interesting than trying to write better left pad or another package manager for javascript.

But also people in different fields have to use some stuff from 10 years ago or god forbid from previous century like 90's and you don't want to get dirty.

Yes, there is. Obviously, it's difficult to massage everything, but there's a lot you can do. Especially if you have long arms or especially flexible.

In fact, you may be able to do MORE than a massage therapist can do in many parts of the body because you're always around and you only have one patient to deal with. And, while you are not as objective, you do know how everything feels.

I took an intro to massage class and have done quite a bit of reading on the topic.
You're right from a user perspective, sure.

From a programmer's perspective, you are writing a program which interacts with the world by making system calls to the kernel. So the kernel is fundamentally more relevant than the fact that the system is running Wayland and comes with LibreOffice.
Ask questions. Ask them all the time. Never refrain from asking a question because you feel you should know the answer.

The mistake I see all the time is juniors nodding because they fear letting me know they don't understand is a weakness. A sign they do not master the language (in fact I see this with most people). Always ask questions. It has multiple advantages: (1) it answers your question so you can understand, (2) it shows me you want to understand the topic under discussion, (3) it helps me explain the topic by guiding me to the parts you find complex, (4) the nature of your questions shows me how much you understand of the topic

Being able to stop someone and ask what a particular term or concept means is a super important skill for any engineer. It does not list you as a fraud, it lists you as a great learner. Remember that. Always.

Now, when asking questions ask the right questions. There is enough material here for me to provide just two links and let you google for the rest. [0][1]

P.s. Bonus reason: Assumptions are the mother of all f*ckups. Ask to verify things you think you know!

A couple years ago, a quick charger (CHAdeMO, not Tesla's) cost about 50k. Not sure what kind of permits were required.

Can you build a gas station with 50k? How much is just the labor to bury the underground tank?

And that's a quick charger, which you would use mostly for trips. For most purposes you only need easily accessible power outlets (although the level 2 stations are far more convenient). Most cars are sitting in parking lots most of the time anyway.

I never understood online-learning ([1]) for non-trivial topics. I need to discuss stuff to really understand it and to also have fun with it! I don't know how somebody could do a complete degree or even some harder lectures purely by watching some videos on your computer. Having access to some smart phd-students, talking with peers and solving hard problem-sets together is part of the fun.

I can only imagine doing this for things like a math-light "intro to neural networks" (my only completed MOOC and more of an tensorflow-tutorial) or "Accounting for dummies".

EDIT: What I want to say: to me, it feels nearly impossible to learn the stuff I learned in my more challenging lectures completely on my own with online-videos.

But they are helping farmers, they are giving them money they otherwise would not have gotten. Why should the burden of providing food for the needy solely come out of farmers' incomes?
I wonder if we will learn to value food again, meaning what portion of our earnings would be willing to pay, if say we all got healthy, very fresh, organic, non-pesticide food that we know isn't contaminated - and if we factor indirect costs of not eating the "safest" and healthiest food throughout our lives? Maybe "$12" can be considered a "good deal" or reasonable. With automation, cost of unit produced can reach "$0" - so long as we pass all of that value created to the consumer. We're going to see more and more layers converted from jobs requiring manual labour, to not requiring it - like one example soon to rapidly scale is Amazon Go stores.
I’m a Dane, I have leased a 24kwh BEV a few years ago. The charging infrastructure is fine and it is getting better. Denmark is not that big. I had a 30km commute each way. I live in an apartment, so that means public charging, which was no problem. I got 99 km at 110km/h on a full charge which means a 60 kwh battery will take me between the two furthest points in Denmark on two quick charges.

The only parts that sucks about BEVs is that you can’t have a trailer attached and the price.
