This is why I mentioned I would do it privately if I owned property there. I hope this tragedy encourages some political action but I sure as hell wouldn’t count on it. Our politicians simply do not care. I actually think the private option

I was hesitant to even comment on this, but I do have an opinion and some familiarity with this region and it’s flooding. I’m Texan and lived in the hill country for a handful of years. I once got trapped on a narrow ranch road at night and

I feel it's to generic in application to be interesting to a broad audience like HN. Some things I like because I have interest in the problem space and am interested in how they applied AI to it. But most things I'm not even inte

Why kick it out, in the past when similar annoyances of dominating the front page occurred they created the Show link and the Ask link. For people interested in those they still exist, just away from the front page

I've been here a while and this is certainly more, prolonged, and has no end in sight compared to most other hype cycles we've experienced. It's also exceedingly generic such that AI isn't really a topic, it's an en

I use a PV trickle charger, the panel is barely 1 square foot or so. Would be nice if it was integrated instead of having to connect/disconnect it constantly. Although, and I'm just guessing, many vehicles that are so seldomly dri

To be honest, lacrosse was popular here well before it became a trend a decade or so ago. I am in the affluent part of my city and every kid goes to private schools so I think it an aspect of that subculture. The girls play field hockey, i

I agree, I'd do the Makedo style tools before this thing. But, I think the other part is this is an indoor activity with these tools. Handsaws would be outside for me (I don't want my house/furniture getting nicked during pla

Exactly, you're basically telling them you can't build stuff until you're 8+. Which coincidentally is around the age they'd lose interest

Not at all bothered by this, this is very unique. Scissor skills are important but more so for paper which has limitations versus cardboard. I use a lot of power tools and my kid watches me kind of bored, unable to participate. I could easi

That's great but if we had accelerated our transition, it wouldn't have lead to them accelerating their transition. The things are not linked or correlated.

In my hyperlocal area, lacrosse is pretty serious. There's a lot of private schools that fuel it. And, football is our main sport in terms of popularity but a lot of parents are afraid of injuries and don't allow it so lacrosse fi

People change. Just because a Gen X is nerdy/chronically online now, doesn't mean they didn't party in the pre-internet era. I'm one of them that fits that mold. I've probably withdrawn more from society specificall

I don't think Berlin life corresponds much to USA life in this regard. We mostly have suburban sprawl and many areas that would be similarly dense, are not very populated with children/teens (because parent's often move to th

I think that's the parent's point, someone should have just said No. If you have to sacrifice so much due to whatever constraints you face, the resulting solution usually is not going to solve the original problem very well. At th

The question is really just how big of a market does this serve? You've made it to the point where anyone entering the FIRE market will likely stumble upon your product as a top recommended tool (just judging by the praise here). Maybe
