Agreed. I have Wireguard installed, but am positive I don't have it configured properly.

Very cool. Fun use of models. Question: what did you use to generate that SVG chart?

Yea, that's the logic. Not place for all the world's soybean based protein to go (most of it goes to pigs and chickens). Which is surprising because soybeans are way up in the past month (people hoping for tariff relief). Other sh

This would be incredibly bearish for soybean futures, no? (or at least Brazlian ones, as the US tariffs have already cratered Chinese soy imports)

See my other comment, but I would be curious to know how many users actually could detect the speed difference between a data.table and a tidy solution. Speaks to how small most datasets really are IMO

He was careful how he said it; thus the many disclaimers about being a fan of tidyverse in general. I think you are underestimating the effect of tidyverse being taught. Also, RStudio is absolutely free to push whatever packages they want.

I agree; which is why I generally get confused when I see that criticism. This is only an assumption though; maybe its just a vocal minority that don't like R or I only notice the negative comments. Who knows

Decent critiques in my opinion. I was trained on/learned base-R myself ~10 years ago and love the "tidyverse" (although the author is correct, data.table is superior for big data and its not particularly close). Can't im

Yea it should, but don't think its that big of a deal for a tutorial post like this

Curious if you have a link to what sensors you had? Think this is cool and i've been on/off looking for co2/o2 sensors greater than recreational precision

In dairy farms yes. Was trying to generalize.

Geez dude. Agree chemical are not ideal, but is $10 USD a gallon milk ideal? Hope you dont use a cell phone because of the radiation.

Disagree BTW. Subsidies are an easy target. Affect very little to the bottom lines I've been privy to (managing input price is biggest factor IMO). Subsidies are an artifact of scale--optics look bad when a big operation is getting 100

Interesting, will read later. Odd that TX has the greatest depletion. As a NE resident, was under impression Ogallala was back to 2010 levels after 2012 drought hit it bad.

Not OP, but work in Agriculture. Margins are so thin, you either need crazy scale (5000+ head/acres) or crazy specialization (think organic). Without scale, one bad year and your out of business.

Nitrogen runoff is huge problem. Multi-billion dollar idea? Autonomous tractors applying N only when the plant needs it (a couple small 2 week windows). Cant wait for the startup to bring this to market

Excellent comment. What AgTech firm did you join (I am in a somewhat related field)?

Its mostly well accepted in plant breeding circles that the improvement in crop yields in North America in the last ~30-40 years can be 66% attributed to genetic progress (i.e higher yield, more disease/pest tolerance, better adaptatio

Can you give me a brief walk through on how you accomplished this, or a resource you used to guide you? I have been interested in doing streaming security camera for a while but haven't seen a setup i like.

Perfect reflection of my views. I may not be high throughput, but I produce good/excellent work and have a really good work/life balance.

I suppose my memory is biased (because if i visit a webpage and see it hasn't been updated since the millenium, i wont visit again) in that i only re- visit updated lab webpages. That said, the new wave of academics (< 35) seem to

Your last paragraph is important. Open-access data is a critical piece to good research. Too often its used to gatekeep (As you mention). Good luck with getting a group of scientist to agree on "high-quality" data collection metho

Anonymity would be better in my opinion (to start off with). Way too much name recognition, and "good old boys club" dynamics happening in way too many areas of science i follow (genetics, agriculture, prediction)

Agree, most public research (In the U.S) is in a poor place as far as "asking the right questions". The amount of under powered and poorly designed studies that get published has driven me to almost ignore research in all but a fe
