Sounds very cool. I passed it on to a friendly organization.

This organization is in the Google Workspace ecosystem, but Google doesn't have documentation as accessible as Notion. We could try to implement Notion, but this will scatter the data storage and then there is the problem of archiving if the experiment fails. This looks like a plug-in solution to our problem of having Notion-like lightweight documentation and not scattering data.

Do I understand correctly that you charge a fee per organization regardless of the number of seats? This is important for this organization because it is a non-profit association, so there are many members, the board must provide access to information to all members, some members are minimally active, so per seat licenses seem to be often a blocker due to the large loss on inactive members.

A similar argument is advanced to protect shareholders who facilitate the degradation of quality of life across society.

Perhaps retirement options should come with complete and crystal clear disclosure of actual consequences - and that those consequences needed to be vocally repeated by the buyer prior to acceptance. Recorded and witnessed, of course.

Yes, I get something out of these threads.

I'm relatively technically inclined so the "tech stack" used is not really all that interesting. I don't really care about what React widget was used to create a customizable overlay text on an animated gif meme, I care about how the person found an audience and managed to monetize it.

GitHub, Reddit, "Show HN" or other areas of the internet are much better at highlighting interesting projects. This thread is specifically about monetizing small to mid range projects, so the focus is on how to acquire a meager income stream both in targeting audience and monetization strategies.

The best responses in this thread, in my opinion, are the ones that talk about how they managed to get to $500/month by identifying what problem people would pay money for, how they found customers and the specific type of transaction (purchasing something physical, subscription, one-time removal of watermark, etc.).

Though I haven't effort into analyzing or tweaking the training, some of the perditions does look like it points at the shadow instead of the tip.

Thanks, I’m glad someone understood my post. :)
This really bummed me out when I heard about it. I always thought Every Noise was a kind of 'magical' website in the sense of: I didn't understand how it could exist, as it seemed to be situated at a strange intersection of 'level of access to a huge corporation's data' and 'level of playfulness in using that data'.

After learning about the layoff and the role that the person behind it had at Spotify (namely that of 'crazy scientist', as far as I could tell), it suddenly made sense... but hearing that, even if you've impacted so many people's lives positively, you seemingly still can't escape the 'rules of the game' indefinitely also just made it all the more sad.

But still, I've found so many cool genres through Every Noise (my bachelor's thesis was largely written to The Sound of Neurofunk), and I've introduced so many people to the site... I'm really grateful it existed in the first place!
My personal Japan Trip Lifehack was to dump all the coins into the nearest transit card charge machine. The PASMO machines are the most flexible, there's a button for "charge in 10 yen increments", and the only thing those don't take are 1 and 5 yen coins. Suica and Hayakaken[0] machines were a bit pickier, you had to have at least 100 yen of change. Whatever the heck they used in Osaka was the pickiest - it was either 500 yen increments or it didn't take small coins, I don't remember which, but I remember having to hold all my change until I got back to Tokyo.

Same, except the one in my hometown hadn't even thrown out the VHS tapes yet. There were still aisles full of early 80s movies in their faded, original edition boxes that had probably been there since the store first opened.

I remember finding "Breakin'" (the original, not Electric Boogaloo) in like 2003 when I was still in high school.

The owner was a pretty cool dude, I remember apologizing for returning some cheesy sci-fi flick really late after forgetting I had it. He capped my late fees to one day and said "Don't worry about it, you're the only one who ever rents that."
AFAIK the cost of consumables are amortized by doing a few people’s DNA sequencing in quick succession. Low cost suppliers like Dante Labs will run specials where you agree to wait longer and they’ll fit you in with a batch with other people who will pay extra for faster results. Oxford Nano-pore will sell a kit that I think is $1K but the training on how to use it is a lot more. Hopefully technology will keep getting better.
Ironically, saving the rainforest is high-effort (requires Brazil's voters to elect leadership dedicated to it) and low-impact.

Not just that but the mobile app has changed from purely vertically scrolling categories (with horizontal selections of playlists/albums/music in the category) to song cards that try to preview a short clip of the song/video. It has to be some attempt to capture the "infinite scroll" of social media apps while pushing well-monetized tracks, but it's very frustrating for any attempt to actually, you know, listen to music.
Anecdotal aside: all my computer shit that was taken and they didn't confiscate my phone - and I'm thankful that was the case in terms of the ability to conduct day-to-day life, but it's also a bit confusing. I wasn't allowed to touch the phone (or any other of my tech gadgets) whilst under questioning during the raid, and I'm sure they spent some time either imaging it or looking its contents, but they didn't take it with them - nor any of my old phones.

It's confusing, because many of the 'cases' I read about in the news mention that the kind of content they're looking for is discovered on phones.

Maybe they figured the terabytes of data storage they did take (my NAS) would surely yield enough results.

"Fired" ?! I think you mean thrown in prison for armed robbery and conspiracy to commit armed robbery. Being unconstitutional thus illegal, these actions could not have been carried out under governmental authority. Thus these actions should be prosecuted as anyone else's would be.

I'm not necessarily a fan of creating such high stakes setups. But until these institutions are reformed around the concept of equity such that their victims are routinely and predictably reimbursed for the harms perpetrated by the institutions, we should fall back to insisting on criminal punishment for the individuals who enable them.

Get rid of your PPA package and use the official repo, it's 99.9% better in almost all cases. More details on google/youtube on how to do that, it's too much to type on HN and should be on the first page of google/duckduckgo. I would guess the people supporting the PPA will stop updating it after a while due to there being an official repo to use.

I had a very similar experience with SnapLogic. It was much easier to just do the integration ourselves. We needed to integrate with a service that had a great Open API Spec, but were initially encouraged to use SnapLogic because it could do this magically for us. Turns out, you save money and time doing the integration yourself.
Leave the task of capturing CO2 from the super low concentration in ambient air to plants and keep burning dead plants for heat like we have done since before we evolved into what we now consider humans.

Reduce the power. It's much more easily said than done obviously, but things like exemptions just should not be done. If the FAA makes a rule, it needs to be adhered to. The FAA needs a spine.

Since you are struggling with churn, maybe this solution is not suitable for subscriptions. Instead, it's better to charge a much higher one-time fee for occasional users who have no chance of converting to permanent subscriptions anyway? It enables you to focus on real ones.

Regarding selling it as an API. In Europe, PSD2 is the standard to provide third-party read-only access to banking data. I am using this to make my business bank account accessible to accounting SaaS. PSD2 requires renewal access every 3 months. At the same time, I have a summary of transactions in my e-mail every, so I would rather set forwarding once than keep to renew PSD2 (I set it, it expired and I do it manually).

I still refuse to believe that they're actually working on a car. I think they're making a humanoid robot. It makes some sense that the car project is a cover for it. 2028 sounds about right, although a bit late. I've been saying this for years but let's see what happens.

If you're interested in mapping infrastructure, you may like Overpass Turbo.

It maps all kinds of stuff, selectable via queries, such as water fountains, parking lots, etc. I've always thought it could come in handy during times of emergency, such as if FEMA needed to inform citizens of certain resources in their vicinities.

https://overpass-turbo.eu/

Example 1] - Defaults to amenity=bottled_water -- Search & select "San Francisco" and click "Run" (Click "Load" for other demo options.)

[Example 2] - Parking lots in SF https://help.openstreetmap.org/questions/67865/overpass-turb...

Example 3] - Go back to the default example of bottled water: click "Load" --> select the "bottled_water" example. Now change [amenity=drinking_water] to ["shop"="butcher"]

[Example 4] - Multiple nodes, as categories of suppliers -- Paste this into the Overpass console: https://pastebin.com/Q4X2YPvj to see nodes where shop=butcher, farm, agrarian, greengrocer

> the third-party doctrine is so obviously wrong it's sickening

Perhaps I’m overindexing on the term “sickening,” but it seems unhelpful to bring an emotion like disgust into a technical legal discussion.

Where one has (and doesn’t have) a reasonable expectation of privacy isn’t trivial. I think it’s obvious that a cop who recognizes a fugitive in public is acting reasonably while the same cop doing a facial-recognition search at a public school parking lot may not. Where does searching public Twitter photos lie? What if they’re only accessible with a login?

If you can’t tell, I think the third-party doctrine as presently interpreted is wrong. But the history leading up to it is incredibly reasonable, recent and well documented.
A lot of the individual tech pieces to make it work have been going into other products for years. Like head tracking in AirPods, face id, Memoji, probably lidar, certainly other things that aren't coming to me right now.
A lot of things that seemed like gimmicks that turned out, it seems to me, were really for Vision Pro.
Moka pot is more finnicky by far, but it also tastes way better than pour over (including Chemex) to me. I know all the tips to make good pour over. It even beats a crappy ($200-300 range) espresso machine, or at least the one I had. It's only when you get into the many hundreds of dollar range that espresso machines start to beat the pants off of a moka pot for flavor.

But pour over is far more fool proof. A bad pour over tastes much better than a bad moke pot brew, plus it's easier to not mess up in the first place.
Could explain why this makes sense? Genuinely interested

Edit: I can infer the utility of humanoid robots. I mean what about the project leaks or other datapoints lead you to believe this has been humanoid robots all along?
All the model topologies that have names are heuristics. The idea of a 'layer' is a heuristic. And so on.

You don't really just try stuff. You choose very few things to try from the space of models. And you choose craftily.

We have quite a lot of domain craftiness now, if you think about it that way.
I did not know that was a hot vacation spot. But, even if it is, it has the advantage of being foreign and exotic. That can’t describe Oklahoma except in a negative sense.
Agreed with Apple TV app. YouTube likes to set my video quality to 480p by default. When I manually change it to 1080p for a video, it turns my 1.5x playback speed to normal. Finally, it will desync my audio if I change it back to 1.5x.

I’ve gone through this process 1000 times over the last year. It’s become muscle memory on my remote. YouTube still hasn’t fixed it.
ESR isn't -that- old. jeesh. If you develop on ESR and it works well it's definitely going to work in something newer. However every web dev I know tries in multiple versions and multiple browsers.

I don't think NYC itself(terrain) is bad. It's dead simple. It's the driver and everyone else allowed anywhere near the street that is the problem.
The uncertainty you pointed out does seem to explain the downvotes I received.

For me personally, communication is arduous. I struggle daily to articulate what I want to say in a logical and efficient manner, let alone in a graceful or artistic one. I've noticed my vocabulary and communication skill has regressed as I get older, despite efforts to improve it.

Overall, ChatGPT has helped tremendously. I never had a written communication style that I was proud of, so I'm happy to assume its more generic tone of voice. If language fulfills its primary purpose, to get a point across, that's enough for me. Any kind of inherent artistic integrity is above my pay grade, so to speak.

You accelerate, brake, indicate etc all the time, so you need tactile controls for those functions, and Teslas do. But how do you find a Spotify playlist, adjust how you're notified if you exceed the speed limit and the margin you want, or check tire pressure readings with tactile controls?
I'm staying vague for the sake of anybody noodling away at this, it's fun but not deep.

It's a twofer, first there's a choice of algo to choose an unbiased unit vector (or point on sphere), then there's implementing it on a particular vector RISC architecture to avoid stutters from branch prediction gone awry - constant steady performance being desirable (in this and all the other parts of the larger program).

"Branchless" decisions are possible;

Compute D = decision = 0 or 1 as result (no branch, just arithmetic)

Compute R = result = DA + (!D)B = result A OR result B depending on D with no jumps or decision penalties.

It's an implementation hack and one dependant on architecture, some chips are fancy enough to pursue two branch in parallel and using the correct choice without have to suffer a time costly pipeline flush for path better not taken.

DSP architectures have long pipes and consistent timing, complex arithmetic statements (once setup) take a single clock cycle; interate result vector = modulo scalar vector1 * input vector1 + modulo scaler vector2 * input vector2 type FFT "atomics" are a single clock .. you can push inputs once per clock and extract ouputs once per clock (with a delay of time to fill pipe).
I'll bet you a doughnut the carrier was eetay-obilemay.
