This was the process we went through to build a hardware and software product based around a bluetooth LE chip:

1. Get hold of a development board (say an nRF52 or a Ti SensorTag). Get the dev system set up and get sample firmware running.

2. Build the MVP firmware. Doesn't have to be perfect just has to be enough to demonstrate the idea.

2. At the same time, build the surrounding software (phone app, services). Phone app use the closest thing you are comfortable with but Android development is a lot cheaper and testing your prototypes is easier as every Android device can be a developer device without paying the Apple bullsh*t taxes and jumping through all their hoops.

3. Dev account on AWS, use the free tier services (although be very careful about keeping an eye on costs).

Your MVP can't get far from the desk but it can be shown to people. In my case the product couldn't be tested without at least 20 devices mocked up but we simulated that with a pile of cheap key finders from alibaba. Get creative about simulating whatever environment you might be deploying to whether it's software or hardware or a combination. It makes the demos more believable.

4. Shop it around, get creative about who might be interested in helping you.

Unfortunately, the number of people who have ideas and can build them by themselves is surprisingly small. You'll need help but be careful about getting into business with people you don't know. I made that mistake and it cost me 2 years.

If they want you bad enough they will make an exception.

I’m a full time indie hacker, building my own products (several in the pipeline) and doing my own design and marketing as well.

Regarding the product idea, it varies from an itch I have, to a neat idea but I’m not the target audience, so I ask around (esp. on Reddit), to someone asking me to make them something and I ask if instead of billing my hourly rate, I can sell them a productized service. I jot down my “itch I have” ideas regularly in a to-do app.

I’ve tried building the product without designing it first (jumping straight to code) and I’ve found that it has always been a mess (re-designing multiple times in code).

I now design the concept first (in Sketch) and only once it feels right, I get implementing. I create a basic styleguide and reusable symbols, which I reuse throughout the app/product.

Then I get implementing. Once I have something that starts to work, I tease it out on Twitter/Reddit and see if people like it. If it gains steam, it gives me enough wind under my wings to continue developing it.

I give myself X amount of time to ship (otherwise the project takes forever).

Once “done”, I send it to a few friends using TestFlight/MS AppCenter for beta testing.

If all goes well I prepare a launch page and launch on ProductHunt.

Depending on the niche I communicate with bloggers on launch day (a big chunk of my buyers are referred from these blogs even years later).

Regarding time and idea picking:

I just do what I’m psyched about, whenever I want. I’m lucky to have financial security at the moment.

What I wish I had in a partner:

Someone who can complement my skills: someone better at design who can still develop.

I’ve already talked with dev acquaintances about teaming up for weekend projects. Would definitely be fun and I don’t care as much about getting 100% of the pie.

The to-do list:

I put almost everything in a to-do, but only check it towards the last 20% of the project. I tag everything as e.g. Design, Client, Server, Marketing. Once the MVP “feels” done, I go through the list to see what’s missing.

I wonder if all the atrocities committed during the Syrian Civil War still sit somewhere on the open internet, relatively easy to search. I know that at some point LiveLeak was one of the few remaining websites that was still hosting that kind of content, which I personally regard as very important to preserve.

I'm happy to see that, because last time I checked Google said:

You'll have to formally apply for up to 12 months of remote work in “the most exceptional circumstances."

It seems that Google is getting more relaxed about remote work. But why is that? I think it's because people are raising their voice inside Google that they want to work remotely.

What do you think? Especially interesting would be to hear from HN people who are working at Google.
I think it's something you actually should be proud of, this way you increase the frequency in which companies encounter a "deaf" person which forces them to adapt quicker to people with such disabilities.

LiveLeak is like those old drivers ed videos, it can make you better by showing how bad things can get.

I remember pre-internet it was Faces of Death [1] (lots faked but still intense), then Ogrish then the makers of Ogrish going to LiveLeak. There is some value in seeing the worst humans have to offer as it gives you a wider picture, but also too much of that is depressing. People should seek out the full spectrum to be based in reality, but also push better quality of life.

As a kid, horror movies were our superhero movies really with late 80s/90s slasher flicks. Fangoria was a big magazine. Then you see things like what actually goes on, seeing the true horrors of the world. Sometimes seeing those things can make you appreciate calm, quality of life focused ways, be nicer to people and try to make the world a better place as it can be raw.

LiveLeak was one of those places you could go to see the video that everyone else was blocking or censoring. ItemFix looks similar just not as intense, more on the WhatCouldGoWrong or IdiotsInCars type level. Always good to have another video site for seeing the broad spectrum of the human condition. Just balance time more towards quality of life, but always know how bad it could be, makes you respect today and appreciate things. Everything in moderation.

If vaccinated people can't get it, then it will mean that spreaders have less people to spread it to.

The way you phrase this makes it sound like you think people intentionally create these videos where people die just to post it to LiveLeak for people to be entertained by.

A lot of it was stuff that was going to happen anyway that happened to be caught on film.
Do you occasionally watch Chinese-language youtube videos?
Hmmm. Perhaps this is true, but in my experience the ballot propositions in San Francisco (where I live) are almost as inscrutable as the state-level ones. I'd much prefer to elect local officials that align with my own views so that they can spend time and effort on my behalf figuring out what the right thing is to do.
Could it be the smell of cyanobacteria[1], gathered by tidal bore from the Petitcodiac river[2], specifically by Hall's creek reservoir[3]?

Nowhere have I seen evidence that Uighurs are actually being systematically put to death. Rather, they're being incarcerated and their cultural and social structures systematically dismembered. But the use of the term genocide as inclusive of cultural annihilation is a recent development. This is proven by the fact that Raphael Lemkin, who invented the term and diligently worked after WWII to construct international legal frameworks prohibiting genocide, always lamented that the international community deliberately rejected his argument that genocide should encompass cultural destruction. That was a bridge too far for Western powers and morality.

Now, maybe times are changing and some nations and groups are adopting the broader definition. But that is nonetheless a significant change arguably worthy of air quotes. It's certainly not a definition China ever signed onto; not even perfunctorily. However disingenuous, one can understand China bristling against such accusations and taking offense at people equivocating their domestic policies with, e.g, the butchering of Rwandan Tutsi. If the liberal anti-colonialism/anti-imperialism crowd weren't so incoherent and hypocritical they'd see the double standard for what it is.

Not everything has to be adorned with the label genocide, fascist, or some label du jour to be wrong and criticized. Attempts to label Mao's and Stalin's purges as genocide have always fallen flat and yet in the West few question the physical and moral enormity of those tragedies.

The third link you posted seems to be the same as the first?
As a plot owner, at least in Europe, you cannot make a living with just the trees. At the moment, and this is expected to worsen with the time, we go through series of very harsh weather conditions over long periods of time. We have a lot of wood getting lost or sold at the cost of harvesting (if not less).

You basically lose 20 to 30 years of taking care of the trees and you need to "restart" the forest naturally afterwards, because anyway, you have no ideas what could be the right kind of trees to support the climate change.

You lose money on the forest, the land is getting more value, but it means just more taxes nothing more.

At the moment, it does not make sense to own only the land, the value is extracted one level above. But here in Europe (at least in France), forest is owned by a lot of people. Many, many people have 1ha or less, here and there, because of the agricultural tradition of the country (forest has been growing again on not taken care of fields).

Source: We have about 300ha, taken care of in a "sustainable" way (all the stuff you read about the "best/ecological" way to take care of a forest) for the past 30 years, we just break even. That is, the forest is bringing no money at all to the owners, everything is going back to pay the workers and taxes.

I don't find the defence in depth approach appealing, because it's never going to get you to 100% reliability. Rather than adding six swiss-cheese layers and hoping the holes don't line up, it would be better to spend more time and effort on a single really solid layer.

For the same reason, I don't find the argument for fixing bugs in C codebases at all compelling (at least if we're talking about "micro" bugs rather than overall architecture issues that might carry over to a future rewrite). Sure, there's a lot of C out there. Sure, a lot of the bugs in that C code are findable. But so what? However many bugs you uncover, you're unlikely to find them all, and even if you did then how would you know? So isn't fixing bugs in existing C codebases just throwing good money after bad? You know you're inevitably going to have to rewrite it all eventually anyway.
And when they don't it's catastrophic. Still confused about stimulus checks not taking into account COL. Did no one think that was necessary? A body of 535+ elected officials decided that it would be equal because the calculation is too hard. $1400 stimulus check for a family living paycheck-to-paycheck in CA goes nowhere.
So what's the problem exactly? The rich kids who don't need the money get exploited for free labor, and?
The problem is the conspiracy machine often works faster than the truth. You got there early, many others with the wool over there eyes aren't so lucky, especially when for many their only worldview comes from people with their same biases.
That is sad for the climate, concrete is a large source for CO2 emissions while wood used in building is a carbon sink. I am not so sure that pretty much nobody builds wood frame houses in Europe, where I live it is mostly wood that is used and even for larger buildings we are starting to move away from concrete to wood to make buildings more sustainable.

Working on a financial institution as a forecaster, I once inherited an excel spreadsheet that took 3 hours to open.
It was full of bugs. At one point it mixed the Swiss franc and the Argentinian peso and that was sold to clients.
That would be blatantly obvious if done in Python or R. It took me 2 years after inheriting to figure it out.

I use spreadsheets but oftentimes they are not the right tool for the job.
My favorite example of this was a team that needed to process more data than would fit into a normal Excel worksheet, so they wrote their application in pure VBA, reading from and writing to a custom file format, thus bypassing the Worksheet object entirely and using Excel just as a VBA runtime.

Like all such bespoke creations, it worked fine, and then the only guy who understood it left.

What? Will we start more wars to provide it? Make workplaces, roads,etc less safe?

Chances are this type of content has saved more lives than anything by making people more sensitised to what can happen and aware of things like workplace safety.

There's something to be said about people seeing war and intervention as boring policy moves, not being able to stomach the thought of seeing where the meat they eat comes from for some reason and thinking about boring warning videos when thinking about workplace safety or a court case when thinking about drunk driving.

Japan managed to have 30 years with unreasonably low inflation.

Remember, the purpose of that money printing is to add money back into the economy while various factors are removing it from the economy. By "economy" I primarily mean the productive part, namely businesses and workers doing work on behalf of a customer.

Somehow the money is not reaching the productive part of the economy. Of course that is changing in 2021, governments finally decided to hand out money directly to those who actually want to spend it and that is a good thing. If it works, then money printing no longer becomes necessary.
It's local elections day today, and there's also a parliamentary by-election.

Of course the PM would never use the Royal Navy for electoral purposes (sarcasm), but it's difficult to see this move as being anything else. It'll blow over.
I wouldn’t take the economical argument too seriously on this front.

One factor that is a big issue in Europe is energy efficiency, and recent/updated electrical. With so much of the stock being ancient, and societal trends towards keeping older structures (and large investments in very durable structures being more of a norm), they have huge issues with a large stock of very inefficient and difficult to upgrade or fix structures. It is entirely possible to make energy efficient and modern buildings in Europe of course - it just doesn’t happen as much (because there is so much existing stock), and it is REALLY expensive compared to the US.

Even Munich which got bombed to smithereens and rebuilt not that long ago (so less a problem than most), it’s not common to have well insulated walls or what American’s would consider modern electrical. Lots of retrofit work, surface mounted outlets and conduit, etc.

What most Americans would consider a normal remodel (adding a bathroom, changing the layout of some rooms though modifications to non-exterior walls, whatever) are essentially impossible or crazy expensive in many of these buildings too because of the concrete masonry construction.

Wood frame construction is cheap and easy to reconfigure, drywall and wood frame is easy to rip off and upgrade what is underneath, then replace, and all of these are easy to stuff with insulation. They’re also remarkably strong, durable, and flexible. They do have flammability and pest issues, but those have good solutions in modern structures.

They all do use a lot of wood; which is a bit of an issue now.
My 2 cents... generally a product is something that has value to others... so, think about that first. Why is your product valuable to others? Explain your product to at least one person who is not invested in the process that would buy your product if it existed. Ask them lots of questions about why they would buy your product. Would their friends buy your product? Why? Can you pre-sell your product before you even start building it? You get the idea... sell first, build after. Sell a little, build a little, repeat.
I'll second that. Also look for old houses being torn down or for scraps being thrown from new houses being build. I just got a bunch of leftover wood from a building site down the street. Even though they were trying to reuse most of it they still have to throw some away and if you ask nicely they'll probably let you have it...

I've also gotten some very nice pallet wood from a local business importing countertops from China.

Do watch out for chemically treated wood though I think that's more rare these days. The wood should have stamps/marks showing how it has been treated.
I'm pretty sure Noah Glass, a super early technical founder, came up with the name Twitter before mysteriously disappearing.

Twitter and Tweeter were the names of the extraterrestrial intelligent beings written about by Ted Owens, the famous "PK Man". Ted claimed he was given psychokinetic powers by these beings and explains how to contact them yourself in his book [1].

If you read Noah's timeline [2] starting from the earliest tweet, you can see that he was very far out, extremely poetic, possibly high, and frequently refers to entering a "chamber" for extended periods of time.

Coincidentally, in his book, Ted Owens instructs readers how to enter a "chamber" in order to visit Twitter and Tweeter and communicate with them via ESP.

My hypothesis is that Noah Glass, in his "chamber", was attempting to contact Twitter and Tweeter for guidance in his endeavor to create the early version of the platform he named.

Perhaps he succeeded in his attempt. And just maybe he's flying in a saucer somewhere in outer space right now! (Haha, only serious.)

That's debatable. It can mean anything from doomed to in trouble.

Yes I would object.

Does it mean everything west of I5 is going to fall into the ocean? All human structures are going to be levelled? Only structures over 2 stories not made out of wood will be levelled? Or just that everything west of I5 will have more damage than everything east.

And I doubt that EVERYTHING east of I5 is going to share the same fate. The I5 is a human made road, not a geographic feature. It doesn't control earthquake outcomes.
