I wonder how many plausible alternative captions we can come up with for this map? A few takes: * Corruption level (blue is less) * Income per capita (blue is more) * Education level (blue is better) * Price of a beer (blue is more)

Great pitch, I have been on the lookout for a proper offline-first realtime data connection with some kind of conflict resolution. It seems to me like such a natural combination of functions, but I haven't come across any tool that has

The backstory behind the data gathering to make the map is a good read. They have put a lot of effort to cleanse and understand the raw data. There are plenty of nice articles on the what and why: http://globalfishingwatch.org&#x

This so much. It is my only real complaint about notebooks. Would be so much nicer if a notebook was split in two files, like `my-notebook.input.ipynb` and `my-notebook.output.ipynb`, where `my-notebook.input.ipynb` would only contain code

I had the same experience. I manually partitioned a pg10 db and it was quite a lot of work to make sure I had all the partitions I need. Then I switched to timescale and got it was just a breeze. I could partition a dataset both in time and

Actually it won't, as there is relatively little ocean-side property to affect in the first place. With the exceptions of a few coastal towns like Scheveningen, property development is illegal along the coast as it would hinder future

I really hope we get there soon. Not only could this eliminate usage of herbicides, but many smaller autonomous robots vs one really big John Deere could also remove the need for monocultures. And that would really be a major improvement fo

I have also had that idea. Instead of giant machines only capable of harvesting monocultures, couldn't we downscale to small, autonomous vehicles that can farm efficiently on a vegetable garden at scale. Many cheap drones to farm the w
