New comment by NoRagrets in "A California aquifer may have crossed the point of no return"

NoRagrets — Mon, 03 Aug 2026 20:09:30 +0000

Agriculture is important. Alfafa is important as it feeds most of the animals grown for food and anlso horses etc.

90% of American alfafa is used domestically and only around 3-5% of it is exported.

The problem is California. 31% of California alfafa is exported and this is a state that has declared drought many times before. It’s a water thirsty state with grandfathered Ag water for farmers who essentially export water.

California Ag is the problem. We need agriculture. We need alfalfa. We need to fix CA.

New comment by NoRagrets in "For the cheap price of a permanent tatto, get access to job interview"

For the cheap price of a permanent tatto, get access to job interview

NoRagrets — Thu, 30 Jul 2026 00:15:06 +0000

A recent YC Startup School afterparty is making the rounds on LinkedIn.

7 people came to the YC after party left with permanent tattoos.

Lemon Lime had invited a tattoo artist to their office. Anyone willing to get the company’s logo tattooed immediately received a job interview.Seven people walked away with permanent tattoos.

Offering someone a job interview in exchange for getting a permanent tattoo is unethical.

The issue isn’t that seven adults chose to get tattooed. It’s that an employer tied access to a career opportunity to an irreversible change to someone’s body.

Is it really ‘consent’? There is an inherent power imbalance between companies and job seekers, especially in highly competitive environments like YC. That makes “consent” far more complicated than simply saying yes.

A great company should hire people for their talent, judgment and character…not their willingness to permanently mark themselves for a chance at an interview.

A line was crossed. And it’s a YC company. Is the job market so awful? How is this even legal?

New comment by NoRagrets in "I used AI to make this song. The results, and its implications, startled me"

NoRagrets — Wed, 10 Sep 2025 15:20:20 +0000

I created everything here.. music and composition and the video with AI on my phone:

https://youtu.be/BUydN1PRPgo

Suno extracts stems but I would love it if they have an ancillary app that would do the scoresheet and give me the notes…

While AI music is fine by me(it’s here to stay), I would like to tweak some of the chord progression of the orchestration .. would certainly like to see how it would play out live.

I am loving it. I am not a musician and I am learning from this.. by doing and music theory one song at a time.. It is making music learning fun for me.
