That really isn't the same product, as I understand this is an HRV combined with heat pump system where they are software integrated to PID controls that optimize the level of fresh air and weather aware energy utilization, with a system like this and a startup I'm sure optimizations like this https://youtu.be/0f9GpMWdvWI?t=432 should be possible - this is like Dropbox, can't expect people to roll their own - and you need a fully integrated system to really make this work well without comfort, even simpler if cooling/heating is more efficient via bringing in fresh air this system could choose to do that vs running the heat pump at all!

I think this is why this application is a military helicopter part where weight savings are at a premium and budgets are not.

The Outlook web interface is substantially better than the desktop app at this point for UX

If too expensive to clear the land currently and so currently it doesn't get done, the economic value could be at least slightly improved by logging the area for the wood if it is mandated to have to clear it first.

Perhaps military style reactors designed for propulsion loads would be a good match for balancing renewables on the grid as an alternative to natural gas peaker plants

The problem with prop 65 is that the warning gives no detail to the level of risk or even type of risk, lead is labeled the same as coffee

furthermore you could prevent the heat death of the universe :)

I always assumed that the recommendations are based on what people save to pocket or even save to pocket, and so the bias towards HN/reddit I figured was due to an overrepresentation of Firefox/pocket users on those sites compared and/or the bias of what pocket users choose to save vs simply a sampling of what gets published.

I think to allow small business and startups to flourish. It is important to not subject all companies to the reporting requirements of public companies, smaller organizations just don't have the spare resources and it really would hurt them being nimble and getting established.

This of course means that any investor into such a company needs to have a more intimate relationship and understanding of the company despite the lack of detailed reporting, which is at least one reason to have accredited investor rules.

Thank you for building this!

How does ClickUp embrace the DAG model?

Incidentally these types of plant patents AND software patents are the two categories that are patentable in the USA but not in most of the rest of the world, so they definitely straddle the line of patentability.

Thanks

In the USA there are also "plant patents" which like software patents aren't recognized in most countries. It doesn't require it to be GMO, just to have undergone certain types of selection and breeding and be registered in the right way.

GMO patents are usually done via standard utility patents, the plant patent is actually a third category separate from design or utility patents.

I'm curious if they have a plant patent on this variety, it wouldn't be valid outside the USA and given that it's also written in French I assume they sell outside the USA. I think this text is probably meant to protect the IP outside the USA mostly if they have a plant patent, seems like an interesting legal strategy.

I've also had these grapes and never noticed the text, I wonder if it is new, and yes these grapes taste amazing! They are super sweet, and a slightly different almost artificial seeming flavor.

I think it is worth noting palm is already incredibly productive as a crop, replacing it with oilseed crops isn't even close to using the same amount of land per amount of productivity. You would be hard pressed to beat its productivity by modifying a grain crop.

Not directly accountable but still much more accountable than Facebook is. Even in a non-elected position there is still a duty to the people and greater good rather than fiduciary duty to shareholders.

I belive the comparison of heartbeats isn't meant to compare within a species. It works to predict lifespan comparisons between species from total heartbeats.

Seems like this would be sensible, the multiplication symbol is one any student learning this should already be familiar with. To generalize, keep using well-learned symbols so things don't get out of hand in verbosity and slowly introducing new ones seems logical. I know when I was in school there were certain math and physics classes where I kept having to ask myself what a symbol meant that was introduced 5 minutes ago so writing it out fully would have been helpful often.

Optimize for getting a job with lots of paid time off and which doesn't require more than 40 hours per week (Government jobs are good for this) then use the time and energy you have left over to explore your ideas and business opportunities. Use this period to save up some money and quit when you feel you can't go further without quitting (and have some money saved up) or you are seeing significant traction. Also make sure that your IP is in a good place given your employment contract and be sure to document that work you have done outside work was in fact done outside work and to never use any company resources or tools to do work you don't want them to own.

We've made a burger first as it's simpler than making a fillet, that will come later. Sadly I do think we will be in the USA before New Zealand. We are planning to release first to those who sign up for our mailing list though, so if you want to try it and other things we are working on then that would be the best way to do so. We don't put out many emails, just using it as a way to make sure the early production goes out to those who care the most.

Your viable alternative is on the way

Another major issue is the removal of mangrove ecosystems which are great at long term deposition of carbon (mostly driven by shrimp farming).

Our company is working on these issues by trying to reduce demand for meat and seafood by creating alternatives to it, but I think the problem is so large it needs to be tackled from multiple angles. As you term it both Phase I and Phase II type solutions.

What worries me is that the Phase II type solutions are going to be mostly a political problem at least much more than they are technical problems, and political problems are much harder to fix than technical problems where the solutions can be market driven rather than based on international consensus. I think with enough creativity most Phase I type solutions can be market driven and be accomplished without achieving consensus.

I think the closest thing to what you want is a Blackberry keyone, great battery life, nearly stock Android with unobtrusive changes and a great qwerty.

What settings did you use to get that dark theme on the extension?

I agree that the polarization is useless. However what you said about selective breeding vs GM is just wrong. Selective breeding introduces numerous mutations, including ones often not even related to the desired traits. In contrast human directed genetic modification often changes a single gene, the state of the art in research universities for specific modifications is only in the tens of genes. You can only say they are not comparable in the sense that selective breeding introduces far more changes than GM and also in the sense that with GM we know what changed where in selective breeding we do not necessarily know how the change was produced or what the extent of it was.

Also I understand that this is a computer centered site but thinking of DNA as binary is a often used but terrible analogy. Living organisms were designed through complete randomness, try refactoring that. If you wanted to turn teosinte into corn without any random mutations and selection I think that would be far beyond our abilities for 100 years at least.

I have found the hacker groups at Berkeley off-putting for the exact reasons you mentioned (kind of silly to have an entrepreneurial club where the end goal for 99% of members is a desk job). The best that I know of are the incubators on campus themselves, though that is a bit different than I think what you're looking for.

If you're looking for classes I'd recommend checking out SCET, the club community around it seems to be growing too.

Good article, the mention of rural America is interesting though since self driving cars to my knowledge still can't operate in an unmapped dirt road properly or otherwise handle the challenges of going off the beaten path.

I'd like to see one of these self-driving cars tackle a mountain road in a blizzard, just not when I'm on that road ;)
