I help run a site where you can record your observations from nature. You like nature, right? So check it out!

@KQEDForum please ask your guest from Heirloom Carbon why releasing carbon that has already been sequestered in limestone results in a net increase in carbon sequestration.

@USGS_Pubs, please republish https://t.co/gerdbXyrgC in an open data format like GeoPackage instead of a proprietary ESRI format.

Well, thanks for answering. I get all the reasons, but what's the growth strategy without interoperability? I need a single app that I can use to msg ppl without wondering which of the tech Balkans those ppl reside in, and that doesn't seem to be Signal anymore.

[Ken-ichi Ueda @kueda]

@KQEDForum I recently stopped using Signal because they're going to stop sending and receiving SMS. I can't convince all my friends to use Signal and only Signal. Privacy is good, but so is convenience.

[Ken-ichi Ueda @kueda]

@KQEDForum And yes, the irony of posting this on Twitter, but Forum isn't on mastodon yet, right?

I'm not jumping ship yet, but if you are I'm trying https://t.co/RUXJl0w6c5

@Oaklandside If vacancy is high, why isn’t the tax working? If it’s low, what does that say about supply-side solutions to the housing crisis? Is there an ideal vacancy rate?

[Ken-ichi Ueda @kueda]

@Oaklandside I seem to remember voting on a vacancy tax in the last election, and I was surprised to learn that Oakland has recently met goals for market rate housing. What is the vacancy rate for market rate housing built in Oakland in the last 10 years?

[Ken-ichi Ueda @kueda]

@RosemaryMosco Will check these out! I’ve recently been obsessing over Polyphia, which is at least metal-adjacent. As far as I can tell metal/nature crossover seems more prevalent among plant and herp ppl.

@young4ebmud @ebmud Like what is the temperature of wastewater discharge relative to the water it enters? Does the depth that it enters contribute to the potential for algal bloom, e.g. if you warm up some deeper, cooler water, could that cause a bloom regardless of nutrient load?

[Ken-ichi Ueda @kueda]

@young4ebmud, just saw a memo you posted re: the Harmful Algae Bloom for the @ebmud board that indicated bacterial levels were not elevated at discharge sites, suggesting nutrients don't explain the current HAB, but what about the temperature of the discharge?

@NHEC_MEMBERNEWS Any estimate of when we'll have power in Moultonborough? Been ~7 hours at this point.

iNat is hiring for two positions: sysadmin / devops and React Native developer. If you know anyone who loves nature and has either of those skills, please encourage them to apply! https://t.co/Mruwg166cx

@DarwinBondGraha Does any of this mean anything with 10% turnout?

[Ken-ichi Ueda @kueda]

@dillonliam The data comes from the Canadian *federal* census or some kind of city or provincial census? Does the US census collect similar information? Is either reliable a reliable measure of occupancy?

[Ken-ichi Ueda @kueda]

@ReaderMeter Added to my list. Also: John Cage's "Telephones and Birds" and the existence of Amish birders were news to me. Astounding.

[Ken-ichi Ueda @kueda]

@ReaderMeter If you haven't already, I recommend reading https://t.co/8KeCtcDCBg. Expert / amateur conflict, networking tech, listers vs. behaviorists, it's all there from the beginning.

@ivanlpenn Informative piece. What are the rooftop solar companies in CA with unionized employees? Why can't the utilities install and maintain rooftop solar?
