As it turns out "greenmailing" is a thing, but not from environmental groups. Here's what claude found for me:
<ai> The concern isn't baseless—there are documented cases of parties using environmental law as leverage, particularly California's CEQA. But empirical studies show only ~13% of such lawsuits actually come from environmental groups; the majority come from labor unions, business competitors, and NIMBYs hijacking environmental review for unrelated purposes. In this specific case, WaterWatch has a 40-year track record on Oregon water issues and the concerns about fish habitat are supported by the Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs—so the 'thinly veiled shakedown' framing doesn't really fit </ai>
I hope doing that research didn't spend too much water!
We're making crop insurance accessible to farmers worldwide. Our platform helps major insurers monitor 10M+ hectares across 10+ countries using satellite imagery and ML — so farmers can manage the volatility of their industry.
You'll build web & mobile apps that agronomists use daily in the field (offline-capable, rough conditions), work on data-heavy features cramming gigabytes into mobile apps, and help shape product decisions with real autonomy.
Stack: TypeScript, React/React Native, PostgreSQL/PostGIS, Python + GDAL/NumPy for satellite imagery processing.
Small remote-first team, wear multiple hats. Quarterly in-person meetups.

I'm sure this will be a contentious topic among the HN crowd, I'm looking forward to the comments.
So we bought them a cassette/CD player from Sony for €100.
The idea that you’d buy a speaker with super expensive and proprietary figurines is a bit crazy to me.
