For my use case, I ended up converting the PDF to a single png image and then use Amazon Textract on it. This allows me to easily convert pdf tables into csv files all from within php. Would love to find a cheaper (local) option vs AWS, bu

I marvel at how small they are. Why not add 20, 100, or 1000 more mirrors to JWT? Or launch 10 more of these and go full interferometry? Maybe I've just been playing to much Dyson Sphere Program, but it feels to me that NASA et al are

It seems like this should have been titled "My views on Rust" as overall, the negatives don't really outweigh the positives. Good job for making the front page of HN, but I honestly struggle to know why. (Maybe you're fa

"...Any other use of it is a criminal act, which endangers the social order by violating the private security of every citizen," I hear this in a deep and booming Orwellian voice. What specific danger does this put anyone in? I ce

I observe the same behavior in react-simple-wysiwyg. It is possible to paste html content that "escapes" the editor. Meanwhile, there appears to be NO WAY to view the content in a text editor or even code editor like PHPstorm.

To clarify: I'm in Ubuntu and the problem seems to be more strongly pronounced when copying from Chrome. eg: There's a website that uses Modals to display profiles. When pasting from that profile copied from Chrome, summernote wil

Same goes for fish, which I just read in the excellent book "Why Fish Don't Exist" by Lulu Miller. An example being that a lungfish has more attributes similar to a cow than to a salmon.

Just ask them. This algo uses survey results for its input anyway, so why not just ask people directly? I find the notion of "predicting suicidal thoughts" to be overreaching and struggle to stay off of the slippery slope of think

This just seems like punishing the poor, very much like fines for speeding. "Rich" people get the freedom to do and say what they wish, but the poor must sit still and only convey favorable opinions.

We replaced a $15 land line with a $1,100 iphone and got multitudinous other benefits. Replacing human centric habitation space with human+robot centric spaces seems like it would have similar outsized benefits. For example, maybe dishes ne

I noticed this same behavior when sending a validation code link via SMS. Had to insert a "Verify Code" button landing page to prevent whatever link-sniffing was happening.

This statement is something of a revelation to me: "One quote from each side isn't an equal treatment of both sides, it's a biased treatment towards the side with less to say." I'd like to dive deeper into this, can

It seems like this and parent intriguing comments are both skirting(?) the importance of -context- in the debate over "money" vs "better world". People from all walks of life may choose one or the other based on their s

Been using twilio for over 4 years. 300-500 sms per day. Never a single issue, I don't recal having to adjust code in a few years. Couldn't be happier.

I confess I was thrown off by "autoimmunity" as I thought it would be a GOOD thing, my reasoning being that an "Autoimmune Disorder" is a bad thing. But I was wrong! I am happy to have learned this new thing today, which

Bummer: the Neutragena Ultra Sheer is the ONLY sunscreen some of us in our household will use regularly. The slather-on feels gross and other sprays have that dry-cracked feeling. I guess "too good to be true" applies to sunscreen

I couldn't agree more. Anecdote: I have been waiting for 2 weeks for insurance to "approve" an angiogram + interventiin that two cardiologists agree that I need immediately. I am a single 43yo male on a $1,000\mo insurance pl

I heartily agree with the premise, and there's this compounding problem: "To make matters worse, the owner's insurance policy didn't cover comprehensive claims from road debris..." So when you combine these two issu

I wonder if it has something to do with the brackets. [safe] looks wrong to me (like a placeholder, or a word that was auto-replaced by a spyware detector). Because yeah, nothing seems to be amiss in the ad. Sorry to see you so poorly treat

Imagine being in your 80s or 90s and being called by someone your daughter paid $100\mo to call you because they couldn't be bothered to spend 10 minutes of their precious time to do it themselves.

Then please explain why they ask for your elderly loved one's phone and email before payment. This is a scam (or RIPE for scamming), and I truly hope you and yours don't get duped (and feel loved!)

Another potential red flag attribute I've witnessed is shifting of the idea deliverablee\objectives after the green light is given. A partner I once had developed a pretty great idea we decided to execute on after 20+ hours of planning

This is the thoughtful and thorough post I wish I had made in my original comment. The efficiency of sending so much more robotic stuff seems as if it would certainly outweigh the benefits of "I'm just going to quickly get a sampl

I agree with the cool-factor of having people on mars. And with that said: for this specific task, we could get remote robots to do this task with zero threat to well educated, trained, and physically fit human life. People on mars would be

Owning music is made much more difficult now that the ability to use it has been greatly diminished. Many new cars don't even come with CD players. Sure, there are work arounds, but I think that moves us beyond a measure of "conve

A 5/8" x 8' copper grounding rod is $14 at Home Depot; 3\4 x 10 is $33. I'm very confused on how the extra $100 would meaningfully affect the project in either time or BOM.
