Greetings NN - LOGIQ is a tiny puzzle game. It’s built around the idea that every level can be solved by pure logic! I used a fair amount of time trying to make the mechanics of the game fun as well. Give it a spin and let me know what you think? I love feedback!

LOGIQ was actually created around 2015-16 and released to Apple and Google app stores around 2017. After 3 years and approx 40K download I removed it. Some of my friends asked why and asked me to release it again. Well, why not just release it on the web, 100% free to play? That’s what I have done!

LOGIQ is built using pure HTML, CSS and JS. Why? Well for two reasons: first I wanted the “barebone” web development experience, with all the challenges and joy this gives and second when I started crafting LOGIQ the web development eco-system was not as strong and vibrant as it is today. These days I'm not a pro sw hacker, so please don’t judge my tech skills too hard. My sole focus in crafting LOGIQ was to make the best logic puzzle game my skills allow.

LOGIQ contains no ads and has zero tracking/analytics implemented. It only uses “localStorage” to keep track of levels played and other housekeeping stuff. All data stays on your phone. This will not change going forward.

What’s next? Well it’s actually not the first puzzle game I made, the first one is called RONDON (which means round in Esperanto). It’s inspired by the fantastic puzzle game Two Dots, but with this “pure logic” approach added (and some other fun stuff). I will release it, free to play, on the web in the coming month. Stay tuned!

Anyway, I hope you will enjoy LOGIQ, as much as I enjoyed crafting it!?
What happened to you is not a lay off. You got fired!
It's the best of times and the worst of times. Some are taking joyrides to space. Others are struggling to keep a roof over their heads. The inequality is real and tremendous. You may blame people for their lack of work ethic, etc, but there are many reasons for nihilism among the lower classes. Especially the industrial proletariat who has seen industry shipped overseas and suffered a dramatic decline in their quality of life. Many places that were once bustling with hard working Americans now look like warzones, or even worse: post-apocalyptic wastelands, replete with drugged out zombies. Generations of hard working Americans had the rug pulled out from underneath them. The myth of hard work = success and good life have been empirically proven to be false by their own experience.
The same may be said of the American farmer who has been slowly strangled to death by big agriculture. Some of the hardest working people in this country have ended up with less than nothing--drowning in debt because larger economic forces sought to crush them.

I understand that from your position, things are great. But not everyone is living under the same material conditions as you. Desperate people, who feel crushed by the system, call for extreme measures--like complete government control a la communism.

Ultimately, you have a vested interest in maintaining your worldview because it secures your serenity. Unfortunately, this unwillingness to address the grievances of others and to ignore the material reality that proves that this is not the best of times for many people, will set you up to be blindsided by the furious subterranean forces building up under the guilded surface of this country.
I mean sure, but I wasn't exaggerating when I said it is probably not usable on other peoples computers. It only works on linux, it doesn't work on wayland, and because I am using xinput to disable the keyboard, you will have to replace the device name in blockKeyboard.py:

A fast and easy toolkit for common bioinformatic tasks, such as translating DNA sequences, alignments and primer design. Built more than 7 years ago, I personally still use it regularly for my work. But it never got any traction, although I believe it can be very useful for a lot of biologists.

3D Topography for visualizing GPS Tracks. This is a very recent side project of mine. I did a Show HN a couple of days ago, but also no significant traction. It anyway is a work in progress.
That's post facto. What about when someone is first starting a company that could fail at any time, would workers have equally put money in and taken the risk of ownership too? People only want the rewards once they see how rich someone's company was but not when they might have to potentially lose their money if they had to invest their time and money in the beginning.

Sounded good to me, until I found out there's no repository; you just pull everything from github. Then I stopped reading. What could go wrong?
I agree that PHEVs are fundamentally a flawed BEV. I was pretty strident in the belief, until someone pointed out that when you consider the scale of moving consumer transportation to batteries with current battery production scale (even with the scaling of battery production over the next five years) is SO BIG...

The best use of available battery supply is to do PHEVs. For city traffic you get a huge gain in all-electric driving.

But really, this would have required forethought about 10 years ago to push car makers to have the scaled production ready for hybrid drivetrains. They don't, and so what I think is that all-BEVs will transition in.

What really sucks is that if we had hybrid drivetrains in mass production ten years ago in most consumer transport, then the used car market would now be full of them.

As it stands, BEVs will come in the new cars, but dirty ICEs will stick around for a decade at least.

It would have been so nice for that used car market to be PHEVs.
Multiple times there are several months without me considering or refining a feature. Development was less than that.

I wouldn't know what people want to know about. In real life with friends and coworkers don't really want to hear about details or why I designed something
I've always found rocket thrust control games like this extremely satisfying for some reason.
I came across a quote from myself on the third refresh!!

Any chance you could add links to the original comment? I'd like to see what I was talking about in 2017. From the quote:

"I predict it's abandoned within the year"

I was almost certainly talking about a Google product, but I can't remember what. I thought it was Stadia, but apparently that was announced the year after.
Thanks for that! I've heard about scala before, never investigated it. I'm really looking the like of it now
This is pretty cool. How much are you thinking of charging monthly for it?
Employers also often get better pricing on insurance for their employees because the pool is less risky overall. Those buying health insurance on the private market are more likely to have health problems and need it. Lots of healthy, young employees with limited health problems at tech companies.

A comment from when I knew theater and film people in SF: "In New York, they tell you when you suck. In Hollywood, they don't call you back when you suck. In San Francisco, they don't tell you that you suck. So you can suck forever."

(Yes, SF once had a film scene. Mostly because there was cheap warehouse space South of Market usable for production.)

Even in 2017, this was more stating the status quo than really predicting.

Already plenty of comments throughout 2017 of people searching reddit for more "human" recommendations because of Google getting overrun with corporate spam.

https://hn.algolia.com/?dateEnd=1513209600&dateRange=custom&...

Arguably the difference between then and now is that astroturfing Reddit has become more profitable and hence more common as people adopt that mindset, so searching reddit is less valuable now than in 2017.

Do you actually have an answer any of the points I presented you, or are you going to continue desperately trying to put up strawmen?

If any of your magical static lib promises had at bearing in the real world, you wouldn't have such a hard time trying to come up with any technical justification for them.

When McCain ran for President against Obama in 2008, there was talk about making employer provided health insurance taxable as a way to even this playing field. The idea was more employees would refuse employer coverage and buy their own for cheaper.
that’s bleak

why not have some joy?

you might say you do have joy, but I’ll say it doesn’t look like it and so to bring it back I wouldn’t want to work for you

This is why companies are always pushing the “winning” narrative.

to be clear I’m only commenting on how your philosophy is perceived vs how it actually feels, since I can’t know that.
You're agreeing with them. They said they got 1 of 2 right - the pandemic
So did the Moller Air Car.

Moller at least had a brief prototype that hovered.

There are probably real scientists, engineers, and approaches, but it's probably about fleecing dumb investors at a fundamental level.

Couldn't you use something like Huffman encoding to compress the entire will and print it on a single sheet of paper, then the estate could use OCR to scan and reverse the compression? If you're using ASCII characters only, I assume the compression could be very high.
And again my point has been proven, you're assuming I'm making the argument that you've somehow come up with from what I said which does not even remotely match what i said, read it again and consider the possible reasons why 911 might not be usable.

This is not difficult.

Especially since the site is only text content and it bizarrely renders into a 500px strip everywhere. If you're going to insist on "modern browsers" make the effort to use media queries for the viewport.

For some reason the JS is invoked when you manually change the CSS for the width to something sane and it gradually expands the pane with repeated reflows.

I've read somewhere that photons, while travelling, casually turn into electron-positron pairs and back to photons. It's quite possible that both are just distortions in the magnetic field.
Yep, pretty much. Crazy what some people will do to just not work a regular job.

Back in the day, I heard it said of the Fairbanks group, that they could have a collective publication career if they did no more than publish all the systematic effect discoveries they made in attempting very difficult experiments.

Same group that "measured" a magnetic monopole and fractional electric charge, IIRC.
Oh, where do I start. This is pure misinformation, and I wish people would actually consider the worse case.. Which looks a lot like Chernobyl, but even then its massively overstated.

Yes, its true you can detect isotopes from an accident like that (which was a hydrogen explosion) for a very long time, but the way this works, is that isotopes with very long half lives, are basically not dangerous. AKA, if the half life of something is a couple hundred years, its not going to be decaying in your body. The chemical properties are going to have far worse effects. (AKA think about all the lead we blew into the air in every major metropolitan area). Things like Iodine-131, are what you have to worry about, but the half life is roughly 8 days. So its gone in a year. (and in fact its used as a cancer treatment, so...).

Even then, if you compare the atmospheric effects of Chernobyl, they are orders of magnitude less than the atmospheric testing performed by the USA and the Soviets. Which can be detected in every living thing on the planet.

So, 1: Managing to accumulate enough hydrogen for an explosion is something that modern designs avoid, thereby making it basically impossible.

2: Even if you manage to blow up, its actually not that dangerous outside of a very limited area because a couple KG of radioactive elements quickly get to the parts per billion levels of concentration, which can only be re-concentrated by biological processes, which itself is something fairly easy to detect.

3: When Chernobyl melted down, the other reactors at the plant continued to operate for another roughly two decades, and there has been continuous people living and working in the direct area.

So, given the track record of the existing plants, if the entire worlds power came from them, and you had a Chernobyl level event every decade, it would still be an order of magnitude safer than solar/wind, which kills people from falling off roofs and towers.

Never mind, that its 2020, and we have computers, which can monitor and apply fail safes long before humans sitting in a control room need to react if someone designed a plant which aren't mechanically impossible to meltdown. None of these designs from 50 years ago would be built today, for the same reasons we wouldn't build computers with discrete logic. Science and technology have advanced, and there isn't a need. We can build completely safe plants, where the largest problem is worrying about asteroid impacts.

So, knock off the fear mongering.
Thanks for finding this, as non-US trying to find relevant laws in the mess of multiple levels of law etc is difficult, i assumed the FCC would regulate this as the telecoms regulátor but it appears not
Context and relationships matter. Apparently this manager had a relationship with her reports where that would work. It's obviously not going to work in nearly any other situation, but kudos to her for figuring out what would work in this situation.

Bottom line is that all of the reports involved were reasonably ok with the outcome--no one is ever happy about getting laid off--and that is far better than the situation in most layoffs.
I don't entirely agree that money is objectively valuable. It's valuable if you can use it usefully.
Rewarded for luring people into consumption loan debt? Great system.
It is single use masquerading as dual use.

The purpose is probably personnel related: employees on this do not need a security clearance, so cost less.

I dealt with Klarna once, made a mistake. Gmail filtered out all their invoices & reminders, had to pay reasonable extra sum. No leniency, fine, but nothing special or awesome about them, they are just a regular credit company. No special tech or whatever, no special awesomeness, no special kindness.

Gmail filtering out invoices has been a big issue for my btw, Im forcing the government to send me invoice in print, even though they don't want to.

After the third attempt I decided to chat with Klarna support. They saw the attempts and told me to stop trying as it would be damaging my credit score. What exactly is the truth? I don't know. Klarna is a black box to me.
That's Coinstar's business model.

They charge a commission now, but originally, they didn't. They pitched the system to stores as a way of freeing up cashier time wasted counting coins.
The reports were all good friends, she knew that, and gave them the option for her to decide or them. She apparently didn't know the personal lives of the reports as well as they did themselves.
depends, for what?

it is a good metric for number of employees you employ :)
I don't know if this was the meaning of the OP's message, but the way I read it tells me that he dislikes the "everything is fine" BS that some companies keep on doing, not the fact you still need to criticise constructively, which "your show hn isn't that impressive" clearly doesn't do.

Realistic, yes, but you don't have to be an ass, that's kind of how I interpret it.
If their point is that they get mad because people would downvote "Your Show HN isn't really that impressive", then I guess so. I would certainly downvote that kind of comment, because it's pretty much by definition a jerky comment.

But I have seen tons of reactions to Show HNs that are "How is your product different from XYZ?" or "How will you address problem Foo?" Those comments actually bring something helpful to the discussion. I've also seen, in cases where the Show HN isn't something the community generally appreciates, get fair comments along the lines of "Your product just appears to make it easier to spam people. Why should we like this?"

Offering critical commentary without a point isn't something that adds to the value of the site.
Did we read the same article? They literally mention crypto in the first sentence and then approach social networking as if there's a status token that needs to be distributed to have a working social network. No one talks like this outside of the crypto community.

Great idea! Should allow for entering an address/zip code as many have location off for browser by default.
Yes, no problem. It is the taking away of inhibiting feelings. You know: like when you want to swim, but you feel concious about your body and rather not show it. It is your own view which handicaps you in such a moment.

Any gambler that makes a prediction without internally associating it with a probability is one that's most likely losing money. You simply cannot consistently make positive-EV bets without considering the probabilities of your predictions. (Heck, EV is the linear combination of probability and payoff.)

A scientific model almost always includes a very specific kind of probability: the p value. The best scientific models are also validated externally and have the results of that experiment reported -- as probabilities: false positive and false negative rates are common concepts to discuss that.

I completely agree that one can predict something that one does not believe to be the most likely outcome. But in order to even say that, you have to be implying that there is at least a partial order from "least likely" to "most likely" and that order is commonly referred to as probability.

(Edit: oh, I see where you got the "most likely" from. By convention, in a binary prediction, the prediction itself is stated in terms of the most likely outcome, with a confidence between 50 % and 100 %. It is of course possible to state the other side of the event with a confidence level < 50 % -- it's just not the way these things are usually presented.)
Your example seems to contradict your premise, since you can't drive screws with a nail gun and you can't very quickly drive nails into wood with a screwdriver. Actually, your example seems to suggest that although there are actions that any tool can perform, there are tools specifically designed to perform certain actions and so no other tool is better at those actions.
Probably not exactly an extension of your current app, but you could try to build sth like a TikTok for extreme sports. I'm sure there are plenty of people with an urge to share their GoPro videos with friends.
Would be nice to be able to select by things like year (predictions made in 2022 are not so interesting yet).

Found this one from 2007: https://hnpredictions.github.io/?p=2849 "I predict because all major businesses will be interacting through Facebook, a new form of currency will begin to emerge." --jimream. Sounds like a popular prediction at the time, given wechat. Although, were wechat payments a thing then already?
That's the crux of it. I was mostly just making a joke that the marketing copy on their main page sounds cultish because of its vague appeals to high minded ideals and trendy tech buzzwords like AI. That's all though. I don't know anything about the company beyond their landing page.
My guess is you were accidentally using 'Klarna Financing' - that's not their main product and not what most people think of when you say 'Klarna' - it's a formal consumer-credit loan. It's like getting a car loan, rather than paying in instalments, as their main product is.

And yeah that'd be apocalyptic on your credit score - equivalent of being rejected for a car loan multiple times in a day!
