The nearby city of Bloomington, home of Indiana University, also hosts Granfalloon each year. I believe it's in July? I just happened to be in town for work and caught it.

I'm with you, although my personal acronym is SUFR; Start Up, Fail, Recover. I don't know about anyone else, but I have learned far more from my mistakes than I have from my successes.

What about the "hey, marriage is just not for everybody" position? I did not get married until my very late 30's, having spend enough time with my partner to have built something worth keeping, but at least two of my friends

I feel tricked. I came to learn to make a simple game, ended up learning tons about computing. Love it!

I honestly don't know. I also advertised on a few less regulated forums, but no bites. Not in NYC, but if it makes a difference, I am in the US and shipping is always an option. If we can establish contact outside of HN, I'm willi

This is the correct answer. I have my license and help with Skywarn when I can in my area, also play around with meshtastic. The fact is that meshtastic is pretty cool, but the ham radio community has been around for a century, is far bette

Side note that I learned the hard way; once you buy a Flipper Zero and get bored with it, they are very, very hard to sell. Both eBay and Facebook Marketplace seem to not allow them to be sold, and simply asking around doesn't do much.

I am not sure what gap you mean, since troubleshooting is part of the learning process. If someone expects to always get it right the first time, they are a bad student. Problem solving is relevant to all learning.

Make a small rechargable hair drier for camping/use where outlets are in short supply, and you've got yourself a saleable product, even it it only gives about 5 min of hot air.

The original reply was looking for a summary of the article which ChatGPT can supply, not more info, which is typically more where one might go to the comments and join the discussion. Two different streets on my map. Just be aware that com

Well, they missed a huge opportunity to break into the discrete sex toy market, then.

This sounds stupid, but I work for a company that produces a few product ranges and sells them in different online settings. The product with branding do far, far better. Speaking also as a consumer, when I see a new product for sale that h

I think you are ignoring a massive driving factor in both medicine and psychology; they are businesses. Both fields, scientific as they often try to be, are subject to the sway of funding and profits more-so than other sciences like physics

Do you have any sources showing how Google spends its profits? Honest question, you got me curious. From my likely ignorant perspective, the devs I know build open-source products with a barely perceptible fraction of the money Google make

Spoken like someone who does not have to make a choice between groceries or gassing up the car. Credit cards are predatory toward low-income individuals on purpose. When my vehicle needed $3000USD in repairs a few years ago, I did not have

The age old lament of "if the service is free, you are the product" comes to mind. Then again, we pay interest to credit card companies who regularly sell our data, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Except it is a good idea. Making everything convenient for the user has been a thorn in my industry for a long, long time, resulting in massive, complex machinery that is controlled by an HMI which amounts to "user push, machine go&q

You are right, but I think the other reply is basically saying we should not try to fix solved problems. If we have a working and reliable solution that isn't the property of one specific entity or domain, there's not a compelling

Do you think trust in the agency depends on who was heading the NSA at the time? This is something I'm increasingly curious about with all the US Alphabet Agencies since they are appointed positions.

Not to be that guy, but if you're going to drop conspiracy theories on HN, you need to cite your sources. Less hand waving and more fact checking.

It does make me wonder what the next Language of the Moment will be that has everyone on HN salivating, hailing it as the replacement for all else.

Not a 100% sure if this is what you are looking for, but Pimoroni has the Pirate Radio kit. I have one, ended up dropping the guys into a vintage radio housing for extra cool look, but it's pretty easy and customizable since it's

Back in my Reddit days, I learned it was also hard to have an honest discussion because people are suspicious of your motives. I would comment something like "I'd like to understand more about why you think X," and ask for cl

I agree, but would like to add that the US public school system also has a bad habit of teaching to the test, namely standardized testing like the ACT or SAT. As it turns out, my time would have been better spent learning how to budget long

I have a Microcenter within biking distance. You are going to hate their prices versus what you can get the exact same product for online. Plus, still no individual electronics components. One of the biggest things I miss about Radio Shack
