There’s an entire rant buried in here but, in short, I absolutely agree.

The `new Date()` API is whack as heck. I basically failed most of these questions.

Sometimes the news is not enough. So I made "No Time to Discourse"—a speculative atlas of (endless) climate disaster. notime.now

Ok serious question, I'm a little spooked because I found out about today's wildfire conditions AFTER I was breathing it. Is there an Android app which will allow me to set a spot in Canada and get like, an Android notification when a wildfire state is entered, an Android notification the night before?

The city is covered in smoke again. I hoped it was fog but the smell was distinct when I stepped out. Merry apocalypse!

@makeworld IMO it's worth every penny :P No ads or accounts or anything.

@makeworld My muse 2 works decent. It can be a vit finnicky to get the contacs aligned just right. I'd suggest getting the Mind Monitor app from the play store to get immediate info without needing any od the official apps or needing to write your own code. It has nice graphs and CSV exports

The deal?

Yum! Brands would only by from farms that had signed on to a fair food program with the Coalition of Immokalee Workers. They'd pay extra for those tomatoes, and the extra $ would be passed through directly to tomato pickers as a raise.

This deal nearly doubled tomato pickers' wages.

And guess how much this big, ground-shaking deal raised the price of tomatoes?

ONE PENNY PER POUND.

That's it.

@makeworld Depends on what you want. If you want ro measure focus/eye muscles/basic emotional states then the muse is enough. If you want to capture visualization and more advanced brain functions you need a fancier setup like the ones eemotiv release: emotiv.com/products/epoc-x

Ex-farm worker here.

We need to talk about this whole "But a living wage for farm workers would spike the cost of food!" thing.

Not true AT ALL.

Y'all don't understand how fast experienced farm workers are.

The average tomato picker pulls 650lbs per hour.

At $20/hr, that's $0.03/lb for labor.

@skryking Yeah it plays great on the deck. Expect to die a lot :P
