Hi, looking for collaborators to work on technology to eliminate rice paddy methane emissions! On a volunteer/hobbyist basis. Rice methane is 3% of the climate change problem. Moreover, any technological solution for rice paddies can be repurposed for defending against worst-case permafrost melt scenarios, or to be used as an emergency geoengineering lever by stopping natural wetland methane emissions (~16GtCO2e/yr). Our site is https://www.ricemethane.org/

Feel free to reach me at contact [at] ricemethane.org

I work for a national park in the Democratic Republic on the Congo as a tech lead. Some of the things we are doing: LoRaWAN for tracking and emergency response, ML to identify gorillas by their unique nose prints, and long-range drones for mapping and surveillance, and a management web app. If you’re interested in conservation / sustainable development and associated technologies let me know! Always looking to collab…

Is LoRaWAN tracking the gorillas?

I am a UX/UI designer who always struggled to pair with the right developer, and/or right business oriented extrovert person, to build things. If you struggled from the other side, let's talk, contact in bio. My projects / areas of interest: 1) high-concurrency booking system (10,000 university students trying to enrol in classes for next semester) 2) real-time money streaming

> real-time money streaming

What does this mean?

I'm not exactly sure why, but your website gives off a very "scammy" vibe, even tough your discuss other scams on it, and since you're seemingly here in earnest, seems valid. Maybe it's something about the color theme of the site (dark text on dark background, strange choices of colors etc) or the weird element structure, low quality photos. Not entirely sure why. Some things do read a bit weird on the website, but m…

This one from the FAQ stands out:

A couple of years ago I started to build a tool for my own personal use. It ended up being a metaverse full of sticky notes. I'm currently seeing if there's a market for it outside of just myself - https://www.temin.net/ Give me a shout if you're interested in turning it into something - email is in my profile.

I've thought of something like this, glad to see its been created. Love it. This is how I 'picture' things in my head so it makes it easy for me to organize. Now only if there was a file explorer like this I'd love to use one.

Hey everyone, I'm about to start a gig advising on tech policy in DC for 1yr but during that would like to start ideating on a potential startup with someone with plans to launch early 2023! I'm not an engineer but have done a little product but my core focus is usually on growth/bd and navigating regulated areas.

I have a few ideas (listed below) but am open to ideating with folks openly and seeing where interests and the market takes things - Making Cryonics more mainstream with a better payments layer + other longevity services and more research into the science behind it that we openly publish - Working on an integrated critical mineral processing, recycling, and gigafactory that produces re-used EV batteries or home powerwalls either in the DRC or with close ties to it to try to bring more jobs to the area and help the country move up the value chain from pure extraction (and because I think there's a huge demand already including in Africa for good battery packs to replace diesel generators)

Sounds like an awesome problem! Any ideas of how to build the first iterations of the hardware? What biological solutions are you envisioning?

The timing of this post is amazing me. Just an hour ago I was doing an internet search for how to host or participate in screen sharing while working on pet hobby projects. My thinking was “coding a side project on your own can get lonesome and stall. Wouldn’t it be neat to hangout with devs while coding, even if not speaking that much. Can share screens, be supportive.”

I've been using focusmate.com for a few weeks now. You make an appointment to pair with another random user for a 50 minute work session. You just say hi and get to work each on your own thing. It's not dev-specific so it's kind of pointless to get into what you're working on. But just having an appointment and saying hi to someone has helped me do more than I expected.
