Nicole Hartig @berddad.bsky.social · 13/07/2026Our scientific institutions are the main reason the U.S. has any hope of being long-term, globally relevant, rather than a failed experiment. For the future of our country in a global economy, and so much else that doesn't fit into character limits, this takeover must not be allowed. 0110
Nicole Hartig @berddad.bsky.social · 02/07/2026While the first reply here is valid, I took "fighting" to be an adjective not a verb. 1110
Nicole Hartig @berddad.bsky.social · 28/06/2026It's a pervasive problem that needs to be named at every opportunity. Not just to put blame where blame belongs, but to dispel the myth that the mngmt level is there and necessary because they inherently make good business decisions. 010
Nicole Hartig @berddad.bsky.social · 28/06/2026Statements like this kill me. Corporations don't make collective decisions resulting in actions. All of Ford did not adopt AI, some set of execs/mngrs, clearly (here as with other cases of higher up decision failure) with no working knowledge of the actual production process, adopted AI. 120
Nicole Hartig @berddad.bsky.social · 16/06/2026It feels either lazy or intentional to not include a simple paragraph listing similar tech/efforts. 010
Nicole Hartig @berddad.bsky.social · 16/06/2026It's extra ridiculous on the guardian's part, seeing as they themselves did a piece 4 years ago profiling various tech, with Mr. Trash Wheel as the main: www.theguardian.com/environment/... 110
Nicole Hartig @berddad.bsky.social · 12/06/2026And it's a fine endeavor, sure, but why does his version of the system cost 2x as much to make and 3x as much to run for the same results? If the goal was purely cleaning up, they'd be using investor money more wisely, as other systems have shown possible. 110
Nicole Hartig @berddad.bsky.social · 12/06/2026Nah, he founded Ocean Cleanup when he was 19, and the interceptor, a later focus, was revealed when he was 25, 5 yrs after the Trash Wheel had been doing what this system does for far cheaper and 11 years after the tech had been developed, reported on and known about in relevant env circles. 120
Nicole Hartig @berddad.bsky.social · 12/06/2026Exactly. John Kellett launched his pilot trash wheel in 2008, and official Mr. Trash Wheel debuted in 2014, announcing 1M lbs of trash collected by Sep 2016 010
Nicole Hartig @berddad.bsky.social · 12/06/2026And way cheaper to manufacture (1/2)+maintain (1/3) 120
Nicole Hartig @berddad.bsky.social · 12/06/2026#Baltimore does everything better. Slat still claims he "invented" this tech, which costs >2x as much to manufacturer and 3x as much to maintain as Mr. Trash Wheel, who made his debut 5 years before the interceptor. Ridiculous that the guardian didn't even put in minimal background research on this. 0112
Nicole Hartig @berddad.bsky.social · 12/06/2026Oh my gosh THANK YOU. Slat pretends he "invented" this kind of system, when Mr. Trash Wheel had been chugging along for years before Slat even had his stupid wonder boy investor reveal. Funny that the guardian didn't even research his claim here. Great reporting lol 230

Only a couple people showed up at each event, max, according to them, so it def doesn't deserve coverage 🙄 010
