Actually, Arizona is quietly advancing a plan to do desalination with Mexico, and Arizona has a history of building audacious infrastructure (New highways, etc). We will probably see desalination but it won’t come out of California.
The CAPEX seemed a bit glossed over. $50ish billion isn't a small ask.
Perhaps I missed a zero somewhere, but 5MAF/yr would require pumping 6,900cfs of water to/from the gulf with 230+ft of head. We're going to need a bigger boat.
oooh new idea for a slack store app. maybe instead of just deleting the message it could feed it into an LLM that would insert the information into a company wiki, so you have to go to the wiki to search instead of digging through old slack messages, which always sucks
How long have you been doing this? Curious, bc many teams tried something like this but it fizzled after 3-4 months.
(full disclosure, we're building a platform that integrates with Zoom to visualize all these rooms, and who is in them, so people can hop into the rooms where people currently are, and know when someone isn't available before joining, etc. would love to interview you for user research if you're up for it)
So far 14 months and counting. It's great for giving a hybrid work feel, especially for people who like that sort of thing, without the actual requirement to live near the office or commute daily.
Curious: what does your current team / company do to enable the real-time ad-hoc conversations that need to happen? Are there conventions or tools that have helped?
(full disclosure, we're building a platform that integrates with Calendar, Zoom, and Slack to try to solve this problem and let people turn to one another in real-time, without interrupting heads-down time. Would love to interview you for user research if you're up for it)
But what do you do for the weeks and months in between? Like, how do people turn to one another in real time?

Curious: do you use DND in Slack or block your calendar in an effort to protect your focus time?
(full disclosure, we're building a platform that integrates with Calendar / Zoom / Slack to visualize who is available, who's in a mtg, and who is in Focus Mode - the idea being to help people turn to one another in real-time, but without distracting people who need to focus.

For all the privacy concerns, I'd love to be able to opt to waive them / opt in to groups of people with similar results and exchange notes / personal findings.
And would love to contribute to medical research in a way that's less onerous on researchers.
And of course there'd be some misunderstandings - consumer beware...
Don't shipping companies spend $MMs on fuel every year? I suspect they'd respond to incentives?
