- hyperpallium 9y agoIt's curious there's no video, since they're already crop-dusting. Even searching on the internet didn't turn up anything. BTW "piker" is slang for giving up, not the best startup connotation! (though mightn't be widespread)
- lancewiggs 9y agoParse that again - I'm not sure that they are actually cropdusting in New Zealand. I have not heard of anything here in NZ (where we don't call it cropdusting anyway), but who knows.
- hyperpallium 9y ago> Pyka has developed a placeholder business doing crop dusting in New Zealand. That helps it earn $600 per hour while logging the hours necessary to prepare for the human transportation market. It depends on what "developed" means, but the next sentence seems to say they are currently earning $600 ph from it. I suppose it could be parsed to mean that a hypothetical "business" earns that.
- nshgraph 9y agoHi lance, they really are. Not sure how much of the plan is public yet but they provided detail in person. PS: we do call it cropdusting
- lithos 9y agoTons of engineering firms are really bad at names. My favorite was the big bold red letters of PMS (power management solutions). Though they seem to have gone to blue now http://www.pmspower.com http://www.pmspower.com

- oscargrouch 9y agoAnd also "pica" (also sounding the same way) its a slang in Brazil for dick. Can you guess the laughing when people say: "Oh no, my Pyka is going down" or "You can touch my Pyka if you want" They can have REAL sale problems if they eventually decide to sell in the Brazilian market.
