Totally agree. "Permaculture" was really just Mollison - a genius and veteran biologist - collating all the best practices and strategies he had observed from land-based cultures, then codifying this knowledge of what works. (Henc

I haven't seen anything specifically related to COVID-19 and won't speculate. I'm also not a scientist or medical professional, so just think of me as some guy on the Internet saying "mycology is an interesting non-big-p

Mycology. Not a company but a novel and underinvested space with 3000+ yr history with antiviral applications. Paul Stamets is the go-to guy here but likely slammed. His talk, into the mycoverse, goes into detail about how he was brought in

I wonder how this would go down in Australia. Precedent set from Gamer's vs Natwest is that the buyer retains ownership rights, so long as they purchased the product in good faith that the seller owned the original product or had the r

Why shouldn't a citizenry decide to limit exports of certain goods when it is in their own interest to do so? We certainly do this with uranium already. Likewise with weapons technology and all manner of harmful trade vectors. Australi

Yes it's definitely possible that Bega will flip next state election even though the anger is directed at federal leadership.

I like surfing at this beach. It is a shame an amicable solution could not be found. This is a big loss for the public.

There is an information and availability API for the federal parks system. The more people build apps that people use, the more examples we have to demonstrate the utility of this API in providing better experience to the public, and reinfo

Not yet. It's part of the RFP spec that was written by USDS in the contracting phase. Unfortunately the language is non-binding so it wasn't introduced at Go-live for the new rec.gov site. It's in good faith that a booking pi

currently it's only an information and availability API (can't make a booking). This _does_ make it easier to run a bot, but it also means that rec.gov servers aren't getting hammered by bots either, which is good for them. A

Worth noting is that USDS got involved in the contracting stage to write certain language sections (e.g. availability API requirements). My takeaway from watching this whole RFP process play out is that an early impactful leverage point is

I read through these contracts a _long_ time ago. I think the contract is for managing a bunch of parks stuff and is expansive far beyond the website.
