Blatantly self-promoting, but we (in Australia) are trying to develop a general solution for better open data search over at https://search.data.gov.au - solution is all open source at https://github.com/magda-io

For those others who tend to go to the comments before clicking through, these aren't tools for _visual_ design, they're for _product_ design - how to pitch your product, how to plan your MVP etc. Glad to see these hit the front p

Thing is this puts it in a narrow band of competitiveness between human-driven trucks (less capital-intensive, more expensive over time) and trains or sea ports (more capital-intensive but still cheaper than automated trucks). A lot of bigg

One of the things another team at my organisation is working on is using it so that competitors can pool their data to do better analytics over the whole corpus without actually revealing their secrets to the other company - https:/&#

Partnering with industry has always been a part of the plan though - that's why it's the Commonwealth Science _and Industrial_ Research Organisation. If CSIRO doesn't partner with industry you end up with debacles like the wi

Oh it was just timing out, I assumed it was suffering from a HN hug of death but it could've just as easily been my connection :).

What I really love is that (when the server is working) you can ssh brow.sh And then have a graphical browser from anywhere :D.

This is a massive deal for monorepos. A lerna bootstrap with yarn as the package manager takes a few minutes from scratch, with npm it takes hours.

Oh, I'd assumed the Perth->London one was the same sort of deal, but turns out it's an actual route with passengers and food and all. That is pretty impressive.

Interesting content, but it really needs a proof-read. There's entire repeated sentences that have evidently been copy-pasted during a rewrite and never deleted from their original location :/.

They could be implementing blocking at the title level instead of on the whole site - so with a VPN I can't watch geofenced content but I can watch House of Cards, for instance.

Probably - the equivalent law in Australia has enough loopholes to make it largely pointless anyway... particularly sending one of your children to study then buying through them. It's a crowd-pleasing law, not an effective one.

My experience in doing this has been that a surprising number of people who click the buy button still put their email address down afterwards, and none of the people I've talked to who did were remotely miffed about the deception. It

I'm building something to do exactly this at https://nichetester.com - I should note that I used the method described in the OP to validate it and it worked really well :).

I wouldn't expect them to want to though. Not because it's a terrible language to program in, just because it's not going to look as good on a resume for later jobs.

I don't mind hacking something together and not getting paid, but what bothers me is that hackathons are very rarely about what actually gets made - now that many have thousands of dollars worth of prizes, it actually behooves hackers

The original tweet that started the whole avocado thing was arguing that millenials should be eating a $2-4 avocado at home rather than paying $14 for it at a cafe. Of course, if you share a tiny apartment that's probably not such a pl
