I've used a service from Free Map Tools for years that did this exact same thing. It was very accurate, but appears to have recently been taken down. https://www.freemaptools.com/how-far-can-i-travel.htm

This is why as I look to the future that my two year old son will inherit as an adult, I'm going to make sure that he has a really solid grasp of philosophy. The cutting edge of today's technology and science are all digging deep

I hear these kinds of statistics all the time and they are appalling, but I need to understand how they are measured in order to think about the best ways to fix the problem. There are a lot of people in the US that have plenty of income, b

If communism could just be boiled down to "laborers own the means of production" then what stops that from happening within capitalism? What prevents people from banding together to create factories that they then work in, for exa

I understand the appeal of self learning physics for the sake of knowledge, but is there a market for self taught physicists in the same way that there is for self taught web devs? I feel like you'd have to go through the university s

I think that you inadvertently pointed to a piece of the puzzle that is pretty important, but retirement communities are a problem, not a solution. The ideal city is habitable to people of all ages. I don't know if you can make it happ

I've spent too many hours day dreaming about building a city from scratch in the middle of the country. An ideal spot would be around Wilson Lake in Kansas. It is almost equidistant from Denver, Oklahoma City (with a straight shot to D

It seems that a simple solution would be to cut out the ad networks. If the New York Times or The Economist just serve the ads themselves, rather than using a third party network wouldn't the ad blockers be unable to distinguish them f

So instead of 10k static 32x32 random images of cats for training data, why not do 10k frames of cat videos that add up to seeing the cat moving and interacting with the environment?

I agree that it is a niceness tax, and would go further and say that tipping has come to mean more about the person tipping, and less about the service you receive. When a waiter (or Lyft driver) gets a poor tip, or no tip do they think, &q

I agree, the giant lie is the problem. It has taken me a fair amount of travel; getting repeatedly lured in to tourist destinations based on the amazingly beautiful and serene photos of them to realize that it is all a lie and to try to pla

I think that we all have areas where we don't know what we're doing. This is one of mine. With all the talk of how obvious/important/easy it is to have a failover in place in case this happens, I'm having trouble fi

A bit of feedback: you should have a link back to your dashboard on every page. That seems like the most important page to me as a user, but if I am changing my notification or account settings, there is no way back to that page.

I first saw Blendle from one of the HN "Who's hiring" threads while looking for jobs in Utrecht. It was right around the time that there were a ton of stories about intrusive/tracking ad networks, AdBlockers and Google&#

There are also plenty of children of wealthy families that essentially receive checks from their parents every month that they live on, in exchange for no real work responsibilities. I would say that there's a fair sized wave of accomp

I can't help but think that there is opportunity here. It seems like most cities have gone through a cycle where industry moved out of cities, a lot of those parts of town got converted in to very affordable housing, industrial lofts,

I've always read the "great filter" as some kind of mass extinction. I just think that the Fermi paradox gained popularity when everyone thought that both our travel speeds and our population would continue to grow exponentia

1,400 light years/~45,000mph (the speed of New Horizons) = 23,844,146.8 years of travel time. I guess that wouldn't be impossible, but if you've got a ship that can last that long in interstellar space, then what do you need

Your contact info isn't in your profile, so I'll reply here. I am an American citizen hoping to move to Utrecht in the near future, and would like to ask you a few questions. Contact info is in my profile.

What if you took these same Neural Networks as they exist now, and tweaked the input and the parameters slightly. For the input, use individual frames of an hour long video of a leopard (in order), and instead of having it just identify whe

Hardcore History is all finished narrative. Where Dan Carlin really shines is taking facts from history, like body counts from ancient battles and making them visceral so that you can really feel how terrified people would have been if ther

For me, the experience of reading drastically improves my take aways from the actual reading. I love my kindle, but actual paper books win every time (As long as I'm near my bookshelf). A lot of my time reading, is spent re-reading an

As an expectant father of my firstborn, I still feel like I have a connection to what it was like to be a boy and I wonder how true this quote is: “Boyhood is a most complex and incomprehensible thing…A man can never understand a boy, even
