   Presumably, the amount given could be on a sliding scale, where more wealthy people receive less money, but I'm sure there would be challenges to such a system. Personally, I'd love an extra 1k / month, but I rather see that

   I'm sad to see eutropia's comment downvoted - it's a valid point that needs consideration. We only get one earth.

   I'm pleasantly surprised to hear you can run KiCAD on a chromebook. I have one ( https://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Chromebook-Wi-Fi-11-6-Inch-Mo... ) with some tiny processor and it crashed yesterday with a single tab open.

   Facebook allows you to tag people who aren't on facebook in photos - so maybe it was using those photos for comparison.

   I really need to start doing this. Are you investing it or simply moving it into another account? I've got a silly amount of cash right now, just doing nothing.

   The advantage is connivance - if I could just get 2 of my regular visa card I'd do that but OPs idea is great. Additionally loss can be controlled, since you can easily control your venmo balance as opposed to a traditional debt card.

   My iPhone 6's headphone jack died on me because I run a decent amount and sweat too much into it. I purchased an iphone 7+ and have been loving the waterproofing (it's great to be able to run with a great camera), except I cracked

   So I see 4 different paths to learning hardware development: 1) analog electronic projects. 2) microcontroller projects. 3) fgpa projects. 4) some combination of the above. Understanding FGPAs/Digital Logic/Basic Computer Architec

    Very good point. Also, off topic just checked you 175g.com Love the site. Also I lived in Madison for a while. Good stuff!

    That would suck for you, but would be good from a ecological perspective - eating red meat isn't our most sustainable practice.

    Consuming misidentified mushrooms can result in death, so I'm not sure it's safer than smoking pot. Almost certainly less addictive though.

    Wouldn't it be amazing if the providers released the IP addresses of the the Daily Stormer users, just because they can. That would be interesting, and totally within their power.

    Interesting product. Small nit, but in the screen shots, "your" should be "you're" or "you are".

    Yeah, blame should be placed on whoever did the code review, but this is probably something the intern learned/got away with in school.

    How long can you ride at that speed? I'm wondering because I average around 15 on my commuter bike and i'm thinking of getting something faster for my commute.

    You could probably make something like this relatively easily with aws lambda.

    But then the student is caped at $49k for life, when they should be able to double or triple that salary over 20 years, which will easily pay off the loan.

    Thanks for the extra info. Super interesting. I don't think I'd agree that the laser turn table was a bad idea necessarily though - I mean if the laser turntable worked as you'd want it to, it could be really nice, because yo

    This is super cool without a doubt, but they could use an actual laser - not photographs to do it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laser_turntable

    I have no experience with this stuff, but I wonder if they could use a laser record player to capture the record, and then replay it with different simulated stylus sizes. Not exactly kosher probably, but could be an interesting experiment.

    They aren't really incresing their work load by 4x because their turntables have 4 arms, as pointed out here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14961307

    Autonomous cars should be a cheaper than Uber eventually. Additionally I imagine they will be more reliable, which is something you can't necessarily guarantee with a random uber driver.

    The HN community is a subset of the tech community, so take everything (especially the latest hype and politics/ideological stuff) with a gain of salt. Also, as with all online communities, beware that some people view HN with disgust

    I guess I'm striking a nerve this morning and am extra dense. my apologies. I guess people think I'm trolling but that wasn't my intention. Can you explain how I'm being a dick? I'm serious.
