Most food still requires a ton of human labor to produce. The reason most farms are full of wheat, canola, soy, etc… is because they can be planted and harvested at scale from the comfort of a tractor.

That’s not the case for most fruits and vegetables.

+100 sats for the recommendation.

Oh, the image in the linked post says 300m is the total range, hope you're right about the infinite mesh idea, that would make the app super useful if dense cities like NYC adopted it in large numbers

I had the same experience with an empty screen.

Do messages only appear from people actively using the app? Or will your message be visible to people who download the app later on?

thanks - so not a replacement for long-range chats? basically for home/office discussions where people are within 300m of each other?

why?

thanks!

Good question to ask

Which states in the US are most likely to push for independence?

My thinking is that political polarization is pushing people more towards distinct poles (red vs blue), rather than causing people to splinter into a million different belief systems.

Of course there are lots of sub-groups, but it feels like most tribes fit neatly into red or blue narratives these days.

How many countries will have a claim to a piece of Canada's current landmass in 100 years?

What do you think will compel today's countries to break apart?

I'm leaning towards fewer countries, but I'm not sure.

It seems like on the company level, we've seen waves of consolidation everywhere, and industries that were once powered by dozens of players are now dominated by 2 or 3.

Wouldn't be shocked to see something similar play out on a global scale... a few "global power" countries making deals to take smaller nations under their wing amidst rising uncertainty.

Yeah I hear you - one of the things I appreciate most about this framing is that because it's hard to precisely define toil and labor, it forces us to reflect on what those words really mean to us.
