I don't know the number but I suspect some material % of corn production could go away if we stopped subsidizing that industry for insane things like making gasoline for electoral …

You are 100% right on the grains.

I'm generally referring to float pond greenhouses though some variants are emerging that use artificial light in a vertical setting for the germination stage where loss rates are h…

I actually agree with you. It's purely a math problem. Where can predictable yield be profitable (including loss calculations) and where can it not. Vertical as it is today is an e…

Organic and regenerative ag are built on the assumption that crops must be grown in open air soil. The reality is that crops can be grown in open air soil and, if they are, regener…

I've developed several multifamily projects including my current focus, a 72-unit apartment development. Proposals like these, while admirable, usually miss the mark and have littl…

One thing we seem to be overlooking is the difference between representing yourself as X versus engaging in the professional rendering of X services to the public. This is a signif…

Yes, US. Possibly related is that EU grocery margins are amongst the lowest in the world.

This is generally not how grocery operates today. Most large grocers: - Sell shelf location slots to the highest bidder. - Include a consignment clause in their vendor agreements r…

This is a good point. I don’t think Amazon’s practices are structurally different than those historically of Walmart or Costco. Each captured sales data and built private label alt…

I think you can have a favorable opinion about the intent of AB5 but also realize that it was a sloppy law that had caused lot of collateral damage when it was passed. Its sponsor …

I'm definitely not one closed off to this story, I think it's important. That said I think "we" tend to forget that platforms like Twitter are private companies, we don't really ha…

Some greater than zero percentage of this is a genuine desire to educate children and some percentage is about federal funding for schools. Schools lose funding when a student fall…

This will all depend what % of employers stay with their current remote structure. It’ll be somewhere between 1% of 80/90%. The point is that we’re making long-term decisions based…

It's entirely possible that you are right except for construction and civil project jobs. I've built several large-scale buildings and developments at urban scale in California and…

This is an exceptionally good point. My rebuttal is that it takes one institution to force the TSA theater on us but it would take thousands of organizations to make this article's…

This is honestly the most ridiculous article/amazing visual journalism possible. Bear with me here....This article assumes that we either a) have no path around COVID-19 via a vacc…

I do this using Feedbin for Twitter follows and (gasp) RSS. I find it useful.

Garmin sat trackers use the Iridium sat network and outsource the response to GEOS so you'll be fine. https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-1-d&q=garmin+...

GEOS https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-1-d&q=garmin+...

Update: They use GEOS https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-1-d&q=garmin+...

It doesn't contact Garmin. It's a shared emergency response center akin to some home security system companies. They share with a few tracker services. Update: The use GEOS https:/…

I think the Inreach sat services operate on the iridium network. They don't sync with or connect to Garmin Connect based on my experiences.

One of my favorite things about NYC is the built-in etiquette of "pulling over" when you need to putz with your phone. You could always tell who didn't live there by who stopped fl…

When I think of Quibi I think of the companies that I used to see set up "activations" in this one space on Abbot Kinney in Venice (LA). They were always new social apps or other t…
