I want to put together a DIY water cistern out of a 55 gallon barrel by connecting an inlet straight to the tap water through a fine filter. According to the CDC it's fine to store water that way for like 3 months at least, so we can use a siphon to drain the barrel periodically to refill it with fresh water after sanitizing the barrel. What I'd be looking for in a collaborator is people who are able to spread the wo…

I'm working on projects for local resilience, and this very much resonates. My contact is on my profile, glad to collaborate and explore this together!

I am interested in collaborating on a project to make building local first software a simple reality for developers along the “seven ideals” that Martin Kleppmann lays out (see https://martin.kleppmann.com/papers/local-first.pdf ). There has been a number of attempts in this space, but none with a simple developer experience, and I’d like to experiment around fixing that. If anyone is already is already working in th…

Sending you an email. I am not working in this space per se but I am following it very closely, and I am super interested in seeing better dev tooling around the CRDT/Local first ecosystem.

Just noting, I'm interested in CRDT as well and glad to learn more / explore collaboration!

I’m thinking of bringing back good old forums. Completed the development but haven’t gotten time to spread the word and build monetization tools (for forum owners). Anyone wants to team up in 2022? https://discoflip.com

Is discoflip open source? If so, would love to support and contribute!

I’m exploring how reinforcement learning can be applied to safely carry out Solar Geoengineering in order to delay the damage from climate change. https://arxiv.org/abs/1905.07366

Interested in learning more about this!

I started working on a project called Taaalk (taaalk.co). It's a website where people have have text based conversations that others can follow. It was down for the last eight months but it's live now. No content on it yet as I need to get the database back from a dump, but looking for someone to work on it with me. It's written in Rails

I recently built a tool for the same concept! (https://park-28u.pages.dev/) Would love to collaborate!

I have a sort of constellation of projects that fit together into an overarching project, and I'd love to have some other people interested or even collaborating on it. The goals are: - Make computers that easier to understand and use (than current systems.) - Make large flying machines to enable cheap and efficient mass transport of people and materials. (Like huge, kilometer-scale kite/blimps.) - Collect and recycl…

I've been thinking about something similar — a large array of drones/flying machines, which can cover a large surface area, and be deployed above points of structural integrity in glaciers and biodiversity hotspots to lessen heating and support those prioritized locations. What you described and the motivations resonate as well. My email/contact is in my profile, would love to connect and explore together!

I don't know about reinforcing glaciers, I've never thought about it before, but I do think that giant 1000-kilometer greenhouse/shade structures are possible. Bucky Fuller was talking about putting geodesic domes over entire cities, so... :)

I'll send you an email a little later today, cheers!

That sounds super interesting. Two questions: 1) Do you work remotely or are you in DRC? 2) What are some good ways to find job opportunities at the intersection of software engineering and wildlife conversation?

I know some communities that are aiming at climate in general and not focused on wildlife specifically but may have some related opportunities. Work On Climate, climate action tech and my climate journey. PS: I love that autocorrect.

Are you personally involved in any climate projects / looking to collaborate?

I am working towards solving the problem of diagnostic labs that will soon have to, or are already coping with excess testing capacity built up for covid testing, and trying to leverage this additional capacity for the post-covid/EUA world. The solution will also address the market decentralization opportunity by spreading the testing demand (from providers and patients), away from a few big-name labs, to a larger number of smaller sized ones.

Yes.

That is very naive and incorrect.

Well - in a thread posted by someone from the DRC about saving animals from harm, you appear to have made a blanket assessment about a country that was literally torn apart by European colonisation, solely on the basis of a single book written by some (presumably) European white man who met a vanishingly small fraction of the population of the world’s 16th largest country and decided based on that tiny sample that the entire country “lacks humanity”.

I hope you can perhaps see the problem here.

I am building https://www.letsdunch.com/ to help like-minded professionals collaborate over food and events.

Please join and help new founders and new startups by sharing your experiences with them virtually or physically in a restaurant near you. Guess what they pay for your food as a gesture of thank-you.
