Firebase hosting is good for static hosting with server side functions. For a real backend, Phoenix (Elixir) is the new Rails / Django. Google App Engine Elixir is a good place to deploy it.

Cheat. For the layout / overall look pick a good off the shelf theme. For UIs / micro interactions / content elements, see how other people have done it and copy them.

So many variables. But say £100 per hectare as a ballpark / rough order of magnitude. Note that the laser weeding in the article is researchware — not a commercial product.

Depends what you mean by soon. And how multi tasking it is. But price erosion in the parts is dramatic and the software baseline is rising.

Farmers may not fix them but they will operate the robots on farm. Already, tractor drivers are skilled operators of GPS controlled semi-autonomous machines. They’ll be the people who drop the robots off, review their task plans, stay in ra

Maybe have a look at Rootwave — electric weed killing that’s used for invasive grass.

Right now the dwell time of the laser is slow like in the order of a second per weed. And there can be hundreds of weeds per square metre. So this needs to improve — and there’s lots of good ways to improve it. However, as the parent says

Yup. There are peaks for energy transfer into water around 1 and 2 microns. So mid-IR.

A skirt around the laser. There’s a few techniques. You can cut the meristem or you can heat the weed. If you can explode the physiology, they don’t grow back.

I’m co-founder of the “space bots with lasers” company. Happy to answer any questions.

This looks like a really well positioned and differentiated entrance into the payment provider market. Eliminating fraudulent chargebacks addresses a serious pain point for a large market segment. It’s an angle that allows it to answer the

This is true and these are the things to be asking when planning to develop a SPA. How do I manage state? How do I handle offline and intermittent? Btw, http://hood.ie is one good option.

Remote != home. If you lack social interaction or networking, join a co-working space.

From a business POV I'd wonder whether the RainforestQA model of much higher pricing ($10,000 per month) with a focus on highly parallel resource deployment (review a lot of code quickly) might be a better strategy.

Proof of useful work? I.e. the problem is that hashing is wasteful. But we have demand for distributed computing. Could the work that's being evidenced actually be performing useful computations? Perhaps by structuring a distributed co
