Radar Chat is an app that I've been working on for a few years now, but only during the past several months has it been my main focus.

Radar Chat allows you to leave messages attached to real world (lat/lon) locations. When leaving a message, you can decide if it'll be a whisper (small radius and long expiration) or a shout (huge radius and short expiration). Messages are organized into "channels", such as "foodtrucks", "garage-sales", etc.

It's intended use is for communicating anything that is timely and based on real world location. My first customer is an organization in Michigan that works with schools to promote STEM learning. Students can use Radar Chat to find and visit participating locations and check in. Each check in gives them an opportunity to win a raffle.

Let me know what you think!

Update: This post links to the marketing page with a bunch of screenshots. This URL will take you directly to the app/PWA:

Part of the dispute Prince was having with the label continues to this day and is why Taylor Swift has re-recorded all her albums. It is "standard practice" for the label to take ownership of the copyright on the recorded material (called phonographic copyright and indicated with ℗) while charging all the costs of recording against the artist's share of the royalties which can result in an artist owing the label money for a hit record.

Ray Charles was a pioneer in insisting that he own the phonographic copyright on his recordings when he moved from Atlantic to ABC-Paramount yet this remained something out of reach for most artists. Robert Fripp was engaged in a decades-long lawsuit against EG to regain control of the phonographic copyright on King Crimson material (as well as to recoup illegally withheld royalties). Squeeze is another artist who re-recorded their albums to reclaim the phonographic copyright.

It's worth noting that Warner Brothers' response to Swift re-recording her albums was to update their contracts to prevent any other artist from following in her footsteps.
I just searched 'what is energy' and is see posts from Quora and Medium on the first page. Definitely not what someone doing real research would be looking for
Trading company is separate from the foundation, purpose is to split the edu org from the industrial org. For those that don't know, raspis are bulk ordered for industrial use and this part intends to escalate that part of the business. RP2040 is an example of spinning off raspi tech for use in other boards.

If you look back, you can see where Upton and friends are good stewards of the raspi foundation (separate).

hn community is so used to companies being two-faced and kicking the ladder out when they "make it", but I don't think this is happening here. Even if it is, its fair to say we've gotten a lot from raspi.
Ah, ok. Yeah, that's an important distinction. I've actually not come across that as of yet.

> This is about laws which force employees to join a union

There are no laws forcing employees to join a union.

Some businesses might enter into contracts with their employees. Right-to-work states attempt to put restrictions on that freedom of contract by making certain contracts illegal for businesses to accept.

There is no right to employment, businesses can fire you for reason outside of any explicitly encoded wrongful termination reason.
Yeah. Give it to the kid when they turn 35. They'll hate you when they're young, thank you when they're older.
A weakened El Nino just contributed to an unparalleled rainstrom in British Columbia, cutting off ~3 million people from the rest of the country for a week[1], causing logistics failures that are expected to take months to resolve, killing tens of thousands of livestock, and was hours away from causing the Fraser river to flood the City of Abbotsford, which would have put half of it, and a large stretch of Highway 1 under 10 feet of water - which would have taken years to dam and drain.

The province has since been in a state of emergency, banning non-essential highway travel. The Coquihalla highway, the primary lifeline into the rest of Canada won't even re-open for essential traffic until the end of January - and full repairs will take far longer.

[1] The city of Chilliwack (pop ~100,000) was completely cut off from all supply routes for more than a week. No road access. No rail access. It has no airport of note. No food at the groceries, no prescriptions at the pharmacy, no food for the tens of thousands of livestock raised by its farmers. Right now, there's only one way into it (from Vancouver), and it is still being intermittently cut off by flooding.

See also: https://github.com/inrupt/solid-ui-react, and the `https://github.com/inrupt/solid-client-*-js` names under Inrupt. (I helped build most of them!)

I can already imagine the naming discussions if we were to build a Solid library for Solidjs. "Solid-ui-solidjs"? "Solid-client-solidjs-js"? Oh boy. We're currently using React for most things, but I could imagine switching to this if it takes off... that's going to make following conversations very confusing, haha.

Now that I say that and I've clicked around, I wonder which is canonical: "Solidjs", "SolidJS", or "Solid.js"? I've seen it all three ways.
> which is why he advocates ancillary exercises as somebody progresses.

IIRC, he poo-poos assistance lifts such as bicep curls. The one exception is chins, which is in the official program and he insists on overhand because it works more muscle mass, despite overhand being the more practical version. Yeah, if you're bodybuilding get Pearl's "Keys to the Inner Universe" and plan on spending a lot of time just creating a program. But for most average people just looking to maintain, and especially beginners, the basic five lifts are simple, cover pretty much everything you need (for baseline strength) and can be done with a minimum of fuss, including creating programming and actual time lifting.
I was wondering how they were going to manage the fact that AMDs Zen3 based instances would likely be faster than Graviton2. Color me impressed. AWS' pace of innovation is blistering.
Amazing suggestions from commenters on better search engines.

Why hasn't a group of passionate developers gotten together to build an amazing, open source, ad-free, tamper-proof search engine?

Wouldn't that instantly be like a mega impactful, economy-changing kind of project?
You are right, I'm one of the people who is frustrated by this. I have been researching this for a very long time. To my understanding, page rank algorithm is dead. Current definition of the Web is not just for public websites, it's now including a good majority of paywall websites and smart device apps. So, if we really wanted to organize world's data, we sure need an entirely new algorithm that will give equal opportunity to all these information holders which Google's current business model can't deliver. Again, to make things right, the next disrupter is going to be a neutral algorithm that will make all these closed information searchable in the public without infecting any business's individual interests.

I'm seeing an interim era of Boutique search engines (powered by better search & people curation) - just like the old Yahoo (yet another hierarchal * *) era. I also believe that a unified search algorithm will unfold following this "yahoo like interim" again, to reorganize the Web once again.

I'm sharing a document that I'm updating on this exact issue, with the information I have collected so far: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1cSMY5wXSKhJdMxeJEvTUJ21e...

I'm working on a project as well, to try solving this: https://aquila.network - with an open, neutral search protocol. Anyways, some web standards organization can do the same thing better than me, with more impact. If they do, I'm more than happy to see that as well..
It's even funnier, the one use of the multi-ocular o was in a text referring to many-eyed (i.e. multi-ocular) seraphims.

Sounds like the only documented use was a visual pun from 600 years ago.
I agree that it isn't an especially big punishment. But I don't think it's intended to be one: the NLRB is charged with issuing a decision regarding the validity of the previous election, not determining the viability of any future election. In other words, if it's a mistake to perform the election again, it's the union's mistake to make. But I, for one, think it's a sound strategy on their part.
Except the employees don't pay Bezos anything...he pays them. Literally the exact opposite where the employees are paying for the union president.

Tell HN: Can't Leave Canada After Nov 30th, If Not Vaccinated
So, after Nov 30th (today), you can no longer board planes, trains, or pretty much any other type of transportation to leave the country, if you are not vaccinated.

The US has also blocked their border to the unvaccinated, so anyone not vaccinated in Canada is pretty much a prisoner.

Just curious what everyone's thoughts are on this. Not looking to start any fights, but I do think this is getting a bit crazy.

And if anyone knows of any other way to leave the country, I'm all ears. My family is strongly considering leaving the country to go somewhere else, where we're not treated like second class citizens.
When I can't find videos using YouTube's search that I've watched on YouTube before, I use DDG and it is usually the first result.
It's because a European union is NOT the same as a US one. In a European union there are many unions and the employee to is free to chose whichever he likes.

In the US version there is a single union for a particular employer, and the employee is forced to join that particular one. (Barring certain laws that complicate this picture a bit.)

This is also why unions work in Europe: There is competition among them, and the employee chooses. In contrast in the US because there is a single one for an employer the unions are frequently corrupt and don't actually do anything helpful for the employee.
DDG for new searches, but mostly just bookmarks and in-site search when available.

Searching the whole web isn’t nearly as useful as curating useful sites yourself.
A polyfill lib is different from an entire framework. Besides, even if you use a framework, you still have to polyfill for browser diffs anyway.

Yeah. Absolutely infuriating if you specifically use quotes and you get all sorts of dross not containing what you're looking for. Clearly they have figured out in some way that giving the end user what they want does not maximise income.

Google News too has become flaky. Often does not find stuff you know is there, or finds it one day, but not another. Hrmph.

Indeed, Amazon have used the Pinkerton detective agency [1] against their employees to root out union activity. For those unfamiliar, the Pinkertons have existed in the US since the 1850s, with a history fraught with violence and questionable ethics, famously the Homestead strike of 1892 [2].

> How do they pay for salaries, operating expenses, building rent, vehicle purchases, electricity, marketing, etc? They take a percentage of their income and use it to cover these expenses. Right?

Sure. Revenue minus expenses = profit/loss. "Net income", "bottom line", etc.

Make more than you expend, and you've got a profit. Spend more than you make, and you've got a loss. Equalize them, and you've got no profit and no loss.

Businesses can optimize for profit. Charities are allowed to have a profit, but they don't get to distribute it to shareholders like a business can; it stays with the charity. It's legal for a charity to have a rainy day fund and a positive bank balance, but their legal purpose is not to run it up.

Churches in the US get funky at times, and I'm of the opinion that the IRS should be empowered to crack down the abuses of the non-profit status you highlight, but if they're spending their revenue on buildings, staff, etc., they're eating into their profits when they do so.

I do think visuals are a good way to describe features in a lot of products, the examples here definitely benefit from a graphic. "Most engaging hours" doesn't sound nearly as interesting as that graph in the mouseover. But I think for most features of most products you probably don't need a GIF and I'd typically prefer a faster loading image in most cases.

Yeah, Amazon search results are often infuriating. Most searches are flooded with similar items that need better filters and some notes on product differentiation. Amazon feels like a bazaar set up inside a Walmart where everyone is yelling at you to buy from them and you don't really know what you're going to get. I know it's a hard problem, but I can often look at the results and imagine some easy UX improvements. Maybe they have higher priorities than helping me buy insulated pants.
You're downvoted, but this is well-studied. White majority shops are at highest risk of labor organizing and increase workplace diversity is well correlated with less organization risk.

You can bet companies (especially Amazon) are aware of this fact.
There's one particularly galling one:

Marc Alaimo has a major role as the primary villain of Deep Space Nine, Gul Dukat, appearing in 20% of the episodes.

He also appears in various capacities as random single-episode characters in The Next Generation. This is mostly fine. But one of those random characters is a Cardassian Gul. (Gul Macet.) This takes place before DS9 starts airing. But it's incredibly jarring if you've already seen DS9.
In the US, you are never forced to join a union. The Taft-Hartley act of 1947 banned so-called "closed shops" at the federal level.

How does the fact that RPi produces a physical product factor into this? If I contribute money to a charity that distributes that money directly to people in need, then I expect a high portion of that money to go to charity, but I don’t know that that is a fair expectation when most people “donate” to RPi by buying a low margin physical product. It’s not a pure charitable contribution to buy a Pi. But maybe I don’t understand how the costs are broken out between the foundation and RPi Trading.
Don’t worry too much. It looks like this is Bring Your Own Camera so the files are whatever format you’re used to working with.

The algorithm for processing plenoptic images is also well-known and this company is not the first to do it. Someone will come up with a free tool for dealing with these images.
Ok, I've been set straight. I wasn't able to get the full picture searching online.
Netflix doesn't pay anything for egress of video because it doesn't serve any video from AWS.

As for everything else, AWS offers tiered pricing for everyone and it's the same for everyone. They just don't publish the tiers at that level, but yes, Netflix pays less than you probably do because they're in the higher tier -- but they pay the same as all the other companies at that tier.
The fact it's impossible to disconnect the profit motive from the technology stack should be incredibly concerning, and the article makes a good point as to why.

My primary concern, right now, is that Web3 is inaccessible to the majority of people, because its very architecture makes a "free" version of it impossible.
Thanks, so why would Raspberry Pi Trading become a publicly tradeable company then?

Or would the Foundation then have to divest of its ownership of Raspberry Pi Trading once it is listed?
Yes, but tail risks definitionally include the WHOLE TAIL, which is infinitely long (including stuff like Quantum gibberish turning you into salmon while you read this).

It's why we plan for risks, not tail risks, but the category Tail Risks is simply the category Risks with the most common ones subtracted out!
> Yes and no. E-bikes start at 2-3k EUR and the norm is 5-6k.

Absolutely no. Crappy ebikes start at 700, OK ebikes start at 1000-1200 and anything above 2.5k is enthusiast territory.

And these prices are still a lot higher than they should be, in my opinion. I posted previously on the issue - they are so expensive, compared to cars, while using far less metal and other resources, fewer IP concerns, not having all the homologation and certification burdens, being vastly cheaper to ship, etc.
Google now also has an extreme recency bias. Most things I search for will give top results for recent SEO optimized blog posts/Youtube videos instead of established authoritative resources.
If you search for something that happens to overlap with a recent movie name, good luck, it'll drown. And I constantly "have" "to" "search" "like" "this" because Google thinks it knows better than me.
Subscriptions. You would have to take money directly.
It is incredibly worse than it used to be. They hate organic content that is not under their control. Think forums, blogs, etc. you have to add stuff to your query to get it to bubble the organic content to the top. The worst is when you are searching for enthusiast information that is typically found on forums, newsgroups, etc. I will often include the word “forum” or “blog” on my queries to find what I am looking for.

Amazon's search engine was systematically destroyed from within starting 5 years ago. It's entirely driven by revenue now and not at all by their faux customer obsession tenet.

Just try searching for a high-end appliance and watch all the Chinese knockoffs that will get ranked higher than the actual thing you're looking to buy. Sure, they cost less, therefore you're more likely to buy something therefore such changes tend to win web labs and go into production. But they've completely destroyed the intent of the search doing so.
I'm reading The Age of AI whose authors include Eric Schmidt. There is a part where they mention that in 2015 Google moved from "human developed" search algos to "Machine Learning". I don't know what that means in practical terms, but when I saw it a light went on for why their search had become so bad.

I'd just add that I think it's bad in the sense that many others have mentioned- lots of crap at the top, ads, very hard to find more obscure stuff. Otoh, I generally still find it better than bing / ddg for most mainstream searches I would do.

"Oh, you need to sign over the copyright to us so we can legally make and distribute copies." I think that's approximately the line of bullshit they give. No, by default creators own their copyright and can license that on terms they allow. Once you sign that over it's just not your material anymore.
