Dissatisfaction?

You see a potential for dissatisfaction, I see a potential for opportunity.

Also, allocating time for “searching for products that I don’t know of but which seems like they might exist, which would improve things” seems, slow an inefficient?

Like, I previously had thought “it is bad that printers basically all have drm-ish ink cartridges.” When I saw an ad for a printer which instead had refillable ink tanks, I regarded that as an improvement. (As it happened the printer had some unfortunate bugs where it semi-frequently needs to be forcibly rebooted by unplugging it, but it is otherwise seems to work nice.)

I don’t see how this is not a benefit? It isn’t like I otherwise wouldn’t be using a printer, or like it increased average rate of printer purchasing non-negligibly . It mostly just changed which printer got purchased.

Like, I suppose if every time I thought “I wish there was a product such the [x]”, I put a description of that into a web form (in terms of keywords I guess?) and then when a product was released, the company releasing the product could send info to the company running the website demonstrating the novel properties, and then the website could notify all the people whose descriptions appeared to match, and that could be an alternative to ads?

I really do not buy many things, if your concern is that ads would compel me to buy too many things, in like, a consumerist way.

(Actually, the example with the printer was when I was living with my parents, so it was actually my dad who bought the printer after I pointed out it existed, and after he evaluated the price taking the ink into account.)

1) Housing costs are not part of a lot of measures of inflation.

2) Rental housing costs and owner-occupied housing costs are correlated but have a complex non-linear, non-monotonic relationship

3) Housing costs vary in absolute terms by substantial ratios in different areas

4) Housing costs vary in relative (CoL) terms in different areas

5) Changes in housing costs over a given time period can vary dramatically in different areas.
1. "Slightly" more reasonable. Let's not tell tales.

3. Having lived in NYC, I can tell you that living in Seattle is far more pleasant than Brooklyn with its massive over population.

4. "Cities simply have to densify in response." Your solution is to make it unpleasant for everyone. Got it. There are many other solutions - don't jump to the easiest one.

Care to explain how easy it is to setup your own cloud platform that can sync all this content from any device and has the necessary redundancy and security options. Obviously sharing would be important, would need to be able to easily collaborate with others, sharing photo albums etc. Some versioning options would be preferable also.

Needs to be very simple so my grandmother can build it, and cheap. No maintenance, set and forget. I assume there will be apps available for all her devices to quickly go through the process or will she need to create them? It needs to be easy to search for content and stream on any device at any time without fail.

She doesn’t care about ‘owning digital movies’ or the exaggerated threat of her accounts being closed. She's is much more likely to accidentally lose her own content managing it herself. She just wants to watch movies, how much will it cost to own all that content? Less the $10/month?

No professionals so let’s keep instructions basic and preferably just using a single blank drive with no content.

It must bother you that people don’t grow their own food? That they can’t manage their shit and need to buy it from a store?

As someone who drives more than walks (except for my daily three mile recreational walks), I agree. Roads are often designed for speed, not for multi-user safety. I think city streets should be narrower in general, to the point of being single-lane in residential neighborhoods. Changing speed signs doesn't really have a strong effect. Changing design works.
Instead of messing with your path selection a better strategy would be just run your own guard nodes that you trust (a guard node is the first node that you connect to in a Tor circuit) and to stick with them. Remember, de-anonymization attacks require the attacker to control both the guard node and the exit node at the same time.

> You have a multi year engineering project? Really a waterfall, or a waterfall/spiral approach will work.

I'm not sure a long time frame is a necessary condition for a successful waterfall project - but I am certain it is not sufficient.

What you need - long term project or not - is a rock solid understanding of business requirements. That means - no vague client demands, or startup style search for product / market fit - but a well established, and documented set of business processes that needs to be mapped to code.

I also believe such projects require a leader who has this understanding, but also a talent for product design such that they can recognise and articulate clearly how the product will meet requirements. They need to be able to convince stakeholders.

I do think such circumstances are rare for many organisations. But not so rare the prospect should be dismissed out of hand.

I agree with your final statement though I think the challenge for many orgs would be in having the self awareness to recognise which approach is best for them.

Show HN: Type safe layouts and data fetching for Nextjs
This also reminds me of http://durgasoft.com/ which is, as far as I can tell, an actual offer for programming courses.
Zigbee has always (or at least, for a long time) targeted a mixture of consumer and industrial applications and is focused on relatively short range mesh networks. It does have a lot of consumer uses now, it's one of the big protocols used for home automation. Not sure of the exact history of LoRa, but widely distributed oil well sensors would definitely fit the intended use of LoRa. Agriculture is another good use case.

Low power sensors infrequently reporting (mostly one-way) small amounts of data back to a base station over really long distances is what it was originally designed for, though people have done other stuff with it. Zigbee is all about the meshing AFAIU.
That only works if the attacker doesn't know the guard node is you.

If they do all you've done is made the middle mode the guard.
Thanks! I haven't moved off Trello yet because the mobile app works really well for me. I'll have to check out the Obsidian apps again though.
Biometrics are good for authentication but have generally been poor for identification.

Perhaps they should combine the hand scan tech with a PIN to do basic multi-factor authentication and act as a safeguard against accidental misidentification?

You had a big Show HN with this project a few weeks ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29270909, as well as 15 other submissions: https://news.ycombinator.com/submitted?id=okozzie.

Beyond that, you have posted it dozens of additional times and then deleted it. That's abusive. It's also against the site guidelines: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html.

Note this guideline as well: "Please don't use HN primarily for promotion. It's ok to post your own stuff occasionally, but the primary use of the site should be for curiosity." You've been breaking that one badly too.

> even after all this work and money I can’t comfortably buy a house - then where does this leave the majority of this country?

Most of the country isn't trying to buy a house in San Francisco—they're living in much more affordable places. Some problems are universal, but others are limited to a few small locations—or at least, considerably worse there than others.
This is why I practically never run within ten feet of a car's front at intersections. If they've stopped, made eye contact, and nodded or waved me on, then maybe. At least once a week, I encounter a driver who almost certainly would have hit me if I hadn't followed this rule.

One counter-intuitive result is that I cross more often against the "walk" light than with it. If I have the walk light, it usually means the cars next to me also have a green light (which is kind of insane really). Some of them will be turning, and they're far more likely to do so without looking than someone turning at a red. The A-pillar visibility issue also affects them more. It's generally safer to wait for a red light and look for a suitable gap in the cross traffic (plus right turners).

Also, a pox on anybody who tucks a crosswalk fifteen to twenty feet down the smaller street. Yes, it's further out of traffic, but it's also further out of where any driver might be looking. I will always stay in a direct line (and pay close attention to traffic) rather than take the extra steps to destroy my own safety.
The books by Will Wight (Cradle series, and Elder Empire dual trilogy). I enjoyed his Traveller's Gate trilogy too, but not as much as the other two.

Licanius Trilogy books are great too.

GRIS is a really beautiful story telling game about loss and grief. The story telling, art, and music are all beautiful. The gameplay is really fun too, even if it's not usually my kinda game.

Yes, Apple. Both the pros and cons are pretty well known now so I'm not going to repeat them.
Not quite. Yellow blinking left arrows are always for a protected left turn lane. So when blinking, it does become more like an unprotected 'turn left on green' type of light, but you don't have the straight-through traffic coming up behind you, since you're on a dedicated turn lane. And the yellow flashing arrow is usually timed so that it happens at the safest time to make an unprotected left.

I don't feel strongly about including easter eggs in the codebase. I feel strongly that someone I suppose is very intelligent feels so strongly about it for such foolish reasons. But, it is their code, and curl is a wonderful tool. Their blog about easter eggs is laughable in how seriously it takes itself when it comes off like a joke.
Yes, if biologics work for you with minimal side effects, great. Unfortunately if I get another infusion I will die, so I had to go down another route.
I didn't realize you assumed a loss through the entire thing. Sure, if you ignore the realities of the US property market and begin with the assumption that your home is going to lose six figures in value every few years then yeah I guess renting is better than buying.
Don't think poster meant the APIs were designed to maliciously allow exploits. He meant they were intentionally developed to allow rotten code to work (because, sadly, rotten code is everywhere), and a by-product of that lax attitude unintentionally allows exploits.
That's a little out of context. The situation being described[1] is that "rust cannot stat the path '.'". A core requirement of coreutils is to work with a unix filesystem where "." is a valid path. Ergo, from the point of view of the requirements at hand, the rust filesystem layer is "broken". It doesn't do what uutils needs it to do.

[1] And I'll admit that I don't have any understanding of the actual low level issue here or why native pathnames are being interpreted by the runtime and not passed through to the OS layer.
> ...IBM’s Deep Blue, an advanced expert system built specifically to play chess.

Deep Blue was not an expert system, but rather it was a canonical example of GOFAI’s heuristic search approach advocated by Simon and Newell. Maybe it is categorized as such because it incorporated a lot of human knowledge in the evaluation function? But then why is Brooks shown in the same category in the figure? His work was a reaction to expert systems, built to show that you can achieve intelligent behavior without knowledge, in a purely reactionary fashion.

We need to normalize the use of lights at night by pedestrians on roads or multi use paths. I've seen them used by recreational pedestrians (dog walkers, runners) but for some reason never outside of that context. Sometimes I use my phone's flashlight when I find myself in this situation, and I leave a bike tail light clipped onto my backpack for this reason too.
Where I live, getting a driver's license takes a long time, money and involves lots of training. Still have many problems. Maybe the average driver is a bit better here, but what's needed is a systematic change. Can't rely on people behaving better, they never will. Design stuff better instead.
So I would say to that extent they do, the foundries provide dev kits with cells to use on their process, and there's definitely the same incentive, good reusable IP gets you products faster which gets them more business. I think a lot of the landscape is just driven by the sheer cost of getting it wrong. Spinning a pcb is a bummer. Needing a new mask set is so much worse.

FWIW I was only interested in the business niche -- I'm uninterested otherwise in the business of (or consuming) pot at all. And the business niche is getting rid of cash, following the rules, and increasing privacy.

First, Canada has banking sandboxes (you can open a bank but the deposits are held by another, larger bank, which is required to offer this service. I think the idea originated in the UK but a bunch of countries are doing this now). So the company opens a bank in Canada, and follows all banking laws scrupulously to a T. The only reason to open a bank is simplicity.

Alice runs a shop selling pot. She downloads the app and opens a business account. She needs to submit all the KYC and tax info necessary to open a bank account, file her tax returns etc. As a result she gets a bank account, a debit card for her account, a (canadian checkbook) and of course the app. We of course know where she is and what the state laws are.

Bob wants to buy some pot. He installs the app and opens a consumer account. He needs to provide his DL and credit card.

Bob visit's alice's shop. She sells him something for $10. She could quote it in CAD or USD or perhaps the company would call them "potbux" or something. Whatever, Bob pays via the app, which charges his credit card. Now Alice can be sure Bob is old enough to buy (without needing to check his ID or even know who he is -- just make his photo (in the app) looks like him). Bob's payment goes straight into Alice's bank account -- no cash. End of story.

Now if alice needs some money she can just use her debit card, make a bank transfer or whatever. She can shop at the grocery store, buy a plane ticket, go to wal-mart or a restaurant or whatever, completely legitimately and no different from anyone visiting the US from Canada.

Note that her suppliers can take these canadian dollars too. So if she needs to buy some stuff (grow lights? some kind of display? I don't know), she and the seller could just use potbux directly and have no exchange rate issues. The company doesn't need to be involved.

And as for the paperwork, the company can generate all the paperwork necessary for state and federal taxes, treasury bank account info etc making it trivial to obey all the laws. She doesn't have to worry about a police sting because of a fake ID or anything like that -- she doesn't even have to know anything about the buyer except "do they look like their photo".

This business would be super easy to set up and require minimal capital.
>but it will just blow away again without some protection.

Not in any appreciable amount over human timescales.
Not always. There are mixed lanes that also have arrow lights from the turns.
There is plenty of geothermal power generation going on in the US, but it is not increasing.

That is not a triumph of ecoterror, but of economics: solar and wind are already substantically cheaper, and continue getting much cheaper, where geothermal, like nukes, stays just as expensive to build and operate as ever. So, pace baseload, a dollar spent today is overwhelmingly better spent on a solar panel or wind turbine, or, soon, storage for solar and wind, or production of H2 as feedstock for industrial processes and hydrocarbon synthesis from captured CO2.

There is never any need to install new solar or wind in wilderness. Both coexist productively and synergistically with current agricultural land use. A farm or pasture with solar is more agriculturally productive than the same without, and also generates clean power. In effect, the power output subsidizes construction of the shading infrastructure that reduces heat stress and evaporation.

A wind turbine displaces minimal ground area, and thus may be in the middle of a solar farm, both situated in current, productive cropland. Output may be used locally to produce ammonia when spot prices bottom out, useful on-site for both fertilizer and fuel.
I'm currently contributing at Alchemist (https://alchemist.wtf) which has an inflationary token: 1% of current total supply is minted every 14 days. Half of this inflation is redistributed to crucible holders (wallets) that participate in the ecosystem reward program and the other half is used to pay developers to work on several projects brought to life from within the community that the project gathered.

In my opinion the current challenge of the project as a whole is being able to monetize our products and return value to token/crucible holders but it has been less than a year of the project inception and we've done a lot of cool stuff.
There are some intersections like this in my city, but I've seen some drivers blow straight through the red light in the straight lanes because, presumably, they are barely paying attention but see a green light in their peripheral.
I find it strange that the CEO gave no one any warnings or any second chances. if that many people were doing what he claimed there was obviously a culture created to allow that.

I personally think he's trying to lay off expensive workers and outsource them and this is a lame excuse attempting to gas light and blame the employee.
