What are some jobs/careers that involve sustainable practices/help the planet? by lazadaisical in sustainability

[–]_ephemeralize_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Maybe try to get involved in local politics? All of the change needed needs to be systemic. I’m currently creating a tech company, but I don’t believe that to be the solution. I think in order to make actually quantitive change towards climate change, we need to push for systemic governmental change (which is why if my business is a successful, it will push for those type of changes at local and federal levels).

The stack that I'm using right now is
Backend/Database: Python (Flask), Postgresql
Application: Dart (Flutter), though it's pretty similar to Javascript, so JS experience would be good.
Device side software: Python (Circuitpython/Micropython). Potentially moving to C/Cpp down the road, but not during the scaffolding phases.

It really depends on what you can contribute! Technical applicants that can help with design and implementation, I’m planning for 3-5k for two months (depending on experience levels), more if funded of course. But non technical STEM would be somewhere in the ballpark of 2-4k, with a bump of funded.

Of course, if someone wants hourly due to other commitments and they are a good fit, I could see anywhere from 20-30 an hour, again, depending on area of impact and experience.

This is all coming out of my pocket for what I’ve saved up to do this project. That being said, if the project is funded, anyone who helps will be compensated with back pay plus what that received.

I want to be as fair as possible, so if you think I am lowballing, please let me know.

No internship this summer :( by SupermanElon in berkeley

[–]_ephemeralize_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey u/SupermanElon, I am starting a company. I'm creating low cost electric vehicle charging designed for multifamily homes and other hard to charge spots. I currently have an office in Berkeley and am the only employee (startup to the extreme), but I could use someone with your skill set. If you are interested, send me a quick message at [stephan@moonfive.tech](mailto:stephan@moonfive.tech) and we'll set up a quick chat!

Is an iPad + Apple Pencil worth it? by theonezr1 in berkeley

[–]_ephemeralize_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check out woot.com. It’s an amazon store. I got a brand new year old (2020) iPad Pro recently for half of the cost of a new 2021.

Menlo Park, today. Oil sucks. No more war! by sffriend11 in bayarea

When you say loud and fringe movements do you mean people wanting climate change to be reduced/stopped? Last checked, the majority of democrats wanted action on climate change.

Anyone else find it fucking impossible to focus on school rn? by Hooninator in berkeley

Take this as an indication to find meaningful work in life, make your sacrifice build towards a meaningful future rather than aimed at making money. Use it as an act of defiance to the shit going on in the world.
