Bowery Farming | Data Scientist, Computer Vision Engineers, Software Engineers | NYC | Full-Time | ONSITE

Bowery (https://boweryfarming.com) is the modern farming company, growing the world’s first post-organic produce. Our indoor farms create the ideal conditions for growing the purest produce imaginable. Bowery grows produce without compromise, owning the entire system from seed to store.

Software Engineering at Bowery involves developing software systems that power our modern farms. This includes building out work management, data collection, farm control, visualization, and farm automation systems. You’ll be part of idea generation, design, prototyping, planning, and the execution of new software components of all aspects of our Farms.

The engineering team is currently 4 people and we're hiring for data scientists, computer vision engineers, and software engineers. Email me at henry[@]boweryfarming.com if you're interested! I answer every email personally and would love to be introduced to any smart people you think would be interested.

You are spot on, the intention isn't to be spammy, its an attempt to intelligently organize video content around what people have to say about it.

Youtube (Google) incorporates plays from video embeds into its ad model, more embeds == more views == more $$ for them. They don't mind at all ;)

you should really cite your response :)

+1 I'm with you on this one!

Sure! Here's a research group in Glasgow that has a great site: http://www.physics.gla.ac.uk/Optics/play/photonOAM/

And here is the lab where I did my undergrad research (Colgate Univ.): http://departments.colgate.edu/physics/research/optics/oamgp...

happy to offer up my phd thesis as well: http://shel.tv/henry_thesis

the speed of light is independent of the angular momentum... c is still c :)

If I understand your question..

You can prepare waves in such a way that forces them into this spiraled waveform state. This can be done in a cavity (in the case of lasers) as there are solutions of the wave equation that give rise to OAM; or this can be done by using diffractive optics, like a hologram, that somewhat force the wave into this state. It is this case that you can think of a torque being exerted onto the waves.

Waves too, can exert torque on small particles (micron sized polystyrene spheres for instance). Light with spin or orbital angular momentum can be used to make these small object rotate!

Quick Answer: No. Longer Answer: Sorta.

Circular polarization of light (or waves in general) corresponds to a spin angular momentum that arises as the polarization of the light is "spinning".

This "twist" is the wavefronts phase rotating or being staggered as it travels forward. Think of the wavefront of the twisted wave as looking like a piece of spiral pasta.

It is this spiraling that corresponds to orbital angular momentum.

This doesn't have to do with different propagation paths. The Orbital Angular Momentum (OAM) is an inherent wave property, like Wavelength or Frequency. Just like you can listen to radio on different frequencies (eg 660AM, 1010AM), you can think about this technology as "listening" on different OAM channels.

The twist in the wavefront can be thought of as a newly available subset of channels.

This has been a a field of research that has been primarily been developed in Optics, in fact, my PhD research included creating ultrafast (femtosecond), supercontinuum (white light) vortices that are capable of transmitting information over 2^L channels where L is the amount of twist the light has.

This reminds me of my physics days at the City College of NY! Awesome puzzle and a cool way to learn about cellular automata...

I like that point. Googling your name shows interesting things about who you are. Getting "above the fold" is surly important!

The whole point of being a "startup" is to find a business strategy and not be a startup! I agree with this post and think more startups should point out HOW they "could be a platform" rather than focussing on how they are one, which they most likely are not (which as the point of this post, i think, and the original citing article that got so much buzz yesterday)

TV is also a technology that EVERYONE uses, much like a computer now. An Apple TV has the potential to get the Apple brand into MANY MANY more households. A successful Apple TV will do what the ipod did for apple, (or the iphone for that matter). If they do it right. (which is an oxymoron)

Great thoughts on BEING your product (and your product being you)!

Curious what people think about my new mashup!

This is a pretty cool way to see relativity in action! I actually like the Nine 'Roid game these guys made more than the classic game
