Where are the major inefficiencies in the supply chain at the moment, from your perspective?

Makes sense, although if I think about my personal super market experience, you buy one of two variants: local (grown inside the country borders) or foreign. I assume EU regulation already makes it mandatory to inform consumers of the origi

Haha, kudos for doing exactly what my imagination thinks slightly scifi-esque "autonomous remote farming" looks like! Really neat. I have some arable land a couple hours away from home so will be following your progress.

What I've been very interested in lately is whether there's a way for us to enable local food production (local meaning on the individual/family scale) via some technological or business innovation. Maybe something along the

Not entirely sure if this is coming from a sincere place or not, but Labour Day is a rather large event here in FIN. Of course like anything the original meaning has been lost to most people, and many treat it as a "drinking holiday.&q

All the highly important software people (myself included) would do good to remember that farmers are literally keeping us alive while basically working 7 days a week - and in many cases barely getting by.

Use cases: 1) sleeping/reading/etc whilst driving long-distance 2) getting home from the city after drinks 3) pick up kids from school/practice (this would be a major time saver)

Problem is it's very difficult to tell who's serious and who's not in today's world :-)

Thats an interesting stance for sure. Unfortunately this kind of approach is flawed and will sow contempt in the populace against the government, resulting eventually in riots & overthrow

Human track record for understanding complex systems is poor, let alone tampering with them. That is the likely culrpit for the knee-jerk here.

There is power in the startup/business world also in doing things that aren’t immediately sensible or predictable. Read Rory Sutherland’s ”Alchemy” for learning more.

Definitely not lindy.

One would think some lessons of naive interventionism had been learned by now, especially since you guys just announced a pull out of Afghanistan a week ago, which many could argue was not a successful one.

Are there any examples of decentralized things running at such scale? Whether in the digital world or physical?

Fair game. I don't know practically anything of game dev so I believe your explanation. The video itself seemed to be mostly critical about the lack of funding to fulfill their promise so thought that was the main problem here.

It is, but that is how security testing goes about in general (in the commercial world.) Of its application to research and ethics, I’m not much of an authority.

Ah, but youre missing the fact that discovered vulnerabilities are now trophies in the security industry. This is potentially gold in your CV.

Go hack a random organization without a vulnerability disclosure program in place and see how much goodwill you have. There is a very established best practice in how to do responsible disclosure and this is far from it.

Should've at least sought approval from the maintainer party, and perhaps tried to orchestrate it so that the patch approver didn't have information about it, but some part of the org did. In a network security analogy, this is ju
