AFAIK, metal detectors (the standing ones) use a simple coil and a receiver on the other side to detect changes in the EM field. The hand-help ones like these ones use either radio waves or microwaves to scan for metal, so non-ionizing radiation. In both cases metal detectors should be safe.
I feel like vandalism and theft would be a big problem in this scenario.
I’m a web developer and I just set up a Squarespace blog for myself. I could’ve taken a week to fiddle with Jeckyll and set up plugins for search and RSS, newsletters and this and that, but this is $12/month and so much easier. It took me like 2 hours to get the whole thing set up, getting a domain is a single click with no SSL setup or anything.
Hell, I’m a developer and I just made myself a Squarespace blog. It’s $12/month and I set the whole thing up in a few hours.
Asking out of genuine curiosity, does it actually matter if harvesting takes 5 or 10 days? If electricity is cheaper, it might make sense for the job to take a bit longer but be cheaper? Human labour is not involved (with automated vehicles) so price should only be dependent on actual power consumption.
I feel like there’s an ‘all or nothing’ attitude recently around starting a business which doesn’t make sense to me. Either you’re making millions and have 100 employees or nothing.
I work in a company that has 5-10 employees, nobody is working their ass off and there’s steady income and gradual growth. Our CEO is not a millionaire, but he enjoys his work and the company he works for. There is no plans for fast growth or VC funding.
Can anyone explain to me where does this obsession with VC funding and huge growth come from? I feel like if you grow your company by more then 50% YOY you will end up with a totally different company culture, and you might end up hating your own company.
