Stictionary[1] is my free, no-ads, offline dictionary that remembers the words you look up. It gives words of the day and flash cards for words you have looked up before. I built it after years of manually tracking words i looked up in hope

This post seems a bit off-topic for HN, but is dropping off multiple (in many cases 2) ballots simultaneously all that unusual? I can imagine many instances here in CO where a husband/wife would drop off their spouse's ballot. I u

I think this was 78% of gross revenue. As OP stated, the GN video makes it clear that the margin on this was, in many cases, negative.

Tangential to the article: i've never understood how the EV transition will work for renters and high-density livers (high rises,etc). If you are in an apartment complex, how will charging look? Is it realistic to have charging ports a

Yeah, mobile is brutal right now. The website is incomplete by every measure and i've been experimenting with a dekstop concept so far. I'll post a proper Show HN this week once the website is complete and i am on the play store!

Well this is... eerie. I just released Stictionary[1] on Friday. It is an offline, ad free, dictionary that remembers words you look up. It gives a word of the day and provides (admittedly underfeatured atm) flashcards to review your word l

What does "fault" have to do with it? As OP said clearly: a lot of the issues people have with "marketing" are actually issues with "advertising". I wholly agree (as someone who actively avoids ads). There are

I think you missed the point of my reply. Vitalik sitting on non-private flights doesn't meaningfully add to pollution, the flight was already happening. The fuel was already earmarked for burning. "This person boarded a lot of fl

I'm confused by this take. If someone said they take ICE public buses to commute daily, my guess is the sentiment would be that is environmentally-conscious commuting. Is this meaningfully different from boarding a plane? I can see a l

This is a great question i'd love the answer to as well. My intuition tells me the speed particles passively would move through the air would be limited roughly by the speed of sound? That feels like a hard upper bound, though?

With limited resources you have to choose. If flutter focused on UI elements before Mac OS + Linux stability, the top comment would be "Flutter is a solid option for Windows but without Linux or Mac support it is useless." The flu

Outcome is at least the combination of opportunity and desire. The fact that i graduated as a software engineer says nothing about my other opportunities that i _chose_ not to persue. At scale i can see those effects averaging out somewhat,

Off the cuff: Blacks in the US are the lowest vaccinated racial group (44%) in spite of voting the strongest for Biden/Harris (87%)[1]. This is part of the problem with the broad strokes approach, it completely erases trends like this.
