ecoponderosa··on Machines replace migrants as Maine blueberry harvest blooms
An exception is small scale local artisanal natural/organic market gardens and family farms that rely on skilled hand labor almost exclusively. You will never and should never consider replacing that with automation and machines. The quality products made available to the public from these operations benefit from the extra attention to detail and experience gained from a lifetime spent in this type of agriculture, sometimes called peasant farming. If you want to know more about peasant sovereignty read the following: Peasant Sovereignty? http://www.independentsciencenews.org/environment/peasant-so...

ecoponderosa··on Ask HN: What would you want in an ideal web browser?
I second better bookmarking, a lot better than what is currently offered. For me it is the easiest and fastest way to keep up with places I have visited and want to return to. I have bookmarks from back as far as Netscape Communicator. Moving between browsers on multiple machines and keeping bookmarks the same on all is impossible other than by pinning a link to a saved bookmarks.html file. Bookmarks should comprise at least 15-20% of all browser activity. Restoring archived .json and .html bookmarks files never seems to work unless you have a small collection. There has to be a better way. Maybe I will just pin a text file and add URLs to that each time I need to save a location.
