I was in Thailand for 3+ months (Jan to April) and worked in coffee shops and co-working spaces M-F usually 10-5 and never was approached by a girl at a coffee shop. Was my first time outside North America. I had good success dating there on Tinder though! I'd actually get daily matches there, where back in the US I get none. The only issue I had was sometimes the girl I met could type English well, but had trouble with speaking so it was hard to have a convo past hello and how are you when we met in person.

Overall, I've never been to a place where it was easier to meet new people and make new friends. I liked Chiang Mai more than Bangkok, but they're definitely two of my favorite cities ever. Koh Lanta is also a paradise.

I'm planning to go back in January again. The lifestyle there is perfect for me at this point in my life (28 year old web developer).

I think you are indeed out of the loop, as this has been a punchline for several years now and is often mentioned in HN threads discussing QR Codes:

http://picturesofpeoplescanningqrcodes.tumblr.com/

I myself have never seen or heard of anyone actually using a QR code. However I read with great interest the HN thread two days ago about how cashless purchasing is done in China with wechat and QR codes, etc.

This is all relevant to my interests as "Oh By"[1], a project I am working on, is (among other things) a replacement for QR Codes.

[1] https://0x.co
they're often used for contact information, especially URLs. however, common programs that can read qr codes can also read the same contact info when presented as text. the choice become presenting the data in a way both the user and the computer can read, or in a way only the computer can read.

they do have good uses, but contact info is not one.
While I agree that there is a disinformation campaign going on, I don't think its "massive".

They got a stooge FCC commissioner, they have some well-paid lobbyists and they are lining the pockets of politicos in various ways to get what they want. Every once in a while some odious talking-head will say something against net-neutrality on AM radio or Fox news. That's a pretty low-key campaign if you ask me.

The fact is not enough regular people care about this issue, not enough are informed about what it really means. That's why they're winning.
> I'd rather trust economic incentives to keep Internet free than political incentives

I don't trust economic incentives at all... The internet and cable industry is notorious for their frivolous price grabs and there's a lot of money to be made playing gatekeeper to something hundreds of millions of people use every day.

In your example the customer wants something new, and the ISP has the economic incentive of providing it because they can charge a premium. What happens when this same incentive is placed on all other services... especially services you enjoy currently. Oh your Netflix/HBO Now is slow? Well that's because you don't have the Xfinity Online Streaming Package which is an extra $18.99/month. Hey, the people wanted faster streaming speeds right? This is just economic incentive.
I know someone that would actually go out of their way to scan those QR codes for contests for the simple reason that nobody ever does and they'd often win prizes by default.
Yes... but note that the final machine language code does use the processor opcodes that handle floats: MULSS, MOVSS

http://www.felixcloutier.com/x86/MULSS.html
http://www.felixcloutier.com/x86/MOVSS.html

So the final float multiplication is done by the hardware. What the software does, is to (a) handle the complex number and convert it to floats, and probably (b) handle the double precision using single precision x86 opcodes.
The amount of information they can hold is especially important in the case of bank transactions. Alipay and Wechat Pay (in China) have QR codes that change every minute. The merchant transaction has to be performed with the current QR code. It's basically a poor man's substitute for the encrypted handshake provided by contactless payment protocols. If someone got your payment QR code they could only abuse it for 1 minute.

I do dislike the use of QR codes for static data, such as a username on business cards and posters. From a design standpoint it looks horrible and busy. I wish those apps had the ability to recognize a logo instead. Or even just a UI to scan and OCR a text username on a business card.
> Do you think its strange that all the debris has washed up on the opposite side of the Indian ocean to this arc?

Did you RTFA? There's a simulation near the end that sanity checks the crash arc with where the debris washed up on the east coast of Africa.

"Using the locations of confirmed debris, the Australian Government’s Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation, the CSIRO, conducted drift modelling analysis to determine possible locations of the MH370 crash site. The results of this modelling were consistent with the search area."
And China also, the Weechat app uses them for so much: paying at restaurants, adding contacts, etc.

Reading about success might create a feedback loop to yourself so that you feel more motivated and possibly more guided to get to success. Kinda like hanging out with games enthusiasts, and you gradually become one yourself?
It definitely did. People use it everywhere in advertising where it has no use.

It's useful for other things, like scanning wifi passwords, or inventory tracking. Actually that's about it.

We let fear destroy us. Since 2001, we have spent $4.79 trillion on war in the Middle East... averaging out to $319,000,000,000 ($319B) per year.

For perspective, Clinton's campaign national infrastructure bill proposed spending $240B over 10 years, and a national high-speed rail network might cost around $500B. Those are huge expenditures, but they are investments in the American public.

War in the Middle East? Our money just goes up in smoke...

You stick with open source wallets; problem "solved". Obviously having to dig up old software and potentially having to make modifications to extract what you need from them is not ideal, but at least it's possible.

That said, the lowest common denominator methods of storing coins long term are pretty stable. They're just paper/metal/stone tablets/flesh with a 256-bit key encoded on them. Hard for that encoding to age any worse than, say, floppy disks which you can _still_ buy drives for today.

Yeah, the urls were dumb for sure, but communicating cryptographic keys is a pretty great and common use for them.

Authenticator keys, Bitcoin addresses, wallet backup, setting up keys for things like Signal's desktop client, etc. All seem like great uses for QR codes to me.
The shortage of these is so extended that many people (myself included) are trying to profit from it; most hardware wallets are going for 2x-3x retail on AMZN/eBay.

I'm arguably part of the problem; I bulk-ordered some Ledger Nano S some time back in hopes of flipping them above retail before they're reliably restocked. Since they're so far backordered, though, I might just end up out my capex (sans the part where I'd have bought one or two for myself anyway).

A lot of academic papers actually aren't all that great, for a variety of reasons. Normally, you can use citations, journal, and author credentials to get a sense of whether a paper is even worth skimming. The only "paper" on the "journal" right now looks like it's just a watered-down, html-only version of https://arxiv.org/abs/1612.07828!

This article buys way too much into the concept of "democratic efficiency", that "being heard" leads directly to government action, and therefore lack of action (or the wrong kind of action) is _caused by_ a lack of "being heard". This is so, so, so wrong, and is just further setting the stage for net neutrality to be repealed and for the blame to be cast at activists' feet. Net neutrality is one of the most popular policies in recent memory, and for it to be constantly assaulted by the same handful of large ISPs is a perfect encapsulation of why capitalism is failing our society. We're going to get tiered Internet not because the "Day of Action" was unsuccessful, but because there is no way that Ajit Pai would have satisfied himself with anything except a repeal of net neutrality. Do you really think he's going to sit there reading the comments, and think, "I have been wrong my entire career!"

The issue at hand is clearly about a government that is utterly unresponsive to its people.

A lot of this seems to reflect the consensus among experienced HN posters as well: you have to actually ship something and charge for it, it has to be something people actually want instead of just what you enjoy making, and so on. Arguably much of this is just common sense, but maybe that's just hindsight talking.

The only one I strongly disagree with is "raise your prices". While this is common advice on HN as well, I think it should come with a caveat that it mostly applies to B2B businesses. If you're running a B2C business, your customers are spending their own money, and possibly on something that isn't a necessity and isn't immediately going to make or save them a greater amount of money in return. Customers in this situation may well be extremely price-sensitive, and even small adjustments in pricing can have dramatic effects on conversion rates. As a counter-example showing that a big price cut can be effective, look at the way that games suppliers like Steam and GoG run their sales.
One other thing not mentioned in the article is the community on Indie Hackers. If you are working on a side project, the majority of the people in the forum are there to help you. They have given me great feedback and ideas for my project.

Memory is too slow? Recent processors have around 75GB/s or more bandwidth. That is rarely the bottleneck and only shows up in well written programs.
"That’s basically an URL shortener without the URL part."

Close. It is an everything shortener.

URLs are indeed something you could shorten, and I would argue that it is the best URL shortener because it has no javascript, tracking, login, etc. and no ads/delay on redirect.

But I don't know how relevant or useful URL shortening is in 2017.

As for logs of accesses, you are right to be cautious and be mindful of your risk profile / threat model. However, it's worth noting that you can create Oh By Codes completely anonymously.

This intersection is 4 lanes plus a left turn lane in all directions with constant traffic. Hand signals were absolutely necessary because 12 people were all approaching the intersection simultaneously.

> In the case of alternating one-way streets, I've always seen construction workers directing traffic.

It's nice that you have always seen that. I'm not sure it would make sense for my town to have construction workers directing traffic 24/7 for the next 3 months while they repair the bridge, so they put in a temporary light. Regardless, I don't know what your point is.

What so you mean by electric engines? Electrification of rail lines is a pretty expensive undertaking, although I will admit I'm not certain of the specifics. I'm guessing that it makes sense only for shorter distances, which is why local trains/metros do use electrified tracks.

This seems like a good step in reducing costs of long distance train travel. Not to mention: a lot of experience would be gained in installing and operating solar panels, which could then be used elsewhere.
I don't know about Indian trains, but in the U.S. most locomotives are diesel-electric, meaning that they use a diesel powered electric generator coupled to electric motors. Definitely plenty of electricity.
