   I can see how this would happen. When working in inventory and fulfillment we'd often see our competitors price their goods below our wholesale. Sometimes it was because of the manufacturer incentives, other times because the product w

   I didn't know about Cresson_Kearny [1] until this but he was pretty great. He reminds me of a cold war Macgyver-like survivalist with a number of interesting gadgets [2] [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cresson_K

   That said, it is important to note that Sweden has one of the highest death rates in the world. Almost 40% higher than the US and at least 200-300% that of its neighbors. https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/total-covid

    Thanks for sharing - Martin is inspiring, not just as a musician but as a project manager and collaborator. I came across the marble machine after seeing a video on another channel where a colleague built a spec part without quite knowing w

    Some quick numbers: - 10bn in Fees - 4975 Lenders - $2m per Lender I think this number doesn't seem unreasonable given the fact that the banks themselves are businesses - they have employees, training, technology, risks etc.

    This is interesting but pricey. How are you guys planning on distinguishing yourselves from similar self-hosted solutions like NodeRed or Huginn?

    So were headsets - while most people were stocking up on toilet paper, it seems companies were buying all the Logitech H390s they could get their hands on.

    For a self hosted Yahoo Pipes alternative I’d recommend checking out Huginn - it’s been featured on HN a couple of times and the creator is tectonic@HN https://github.com/huginn/huginn

    Interesting idea but: - How do you handle ambiguity? e.g what happens when sci-hub.idk and scihub.idk differ? - Aren’t you concerned by the fact that Wikipedia is open to editing by the public?

    So as I understand it, biologists and computer scientists take clumps of frog embryo cells and engineer their shapes to allow them to perform specific tasks? Fascinating!

    That's a nice domain but I'm just curious - does this help plant trees if people just use it without the paid account? Also related - I don't see a privacy policy. What is being tracked and how is that data used?

    I'm loving this as well! I agree with @TomJansen - I think checking for other TLDs would be great. So far the best implementation of this I've seen has been iwantmyname.com. Check it out, it might help inspire you.
