Setting your heading seems to be one of the main points of the game, so it's not a bad way to make sure all players know how it works.

Hi everyone – I’m putting these groups together to help people expand their personal networks and hold threaded discussions in an environment where everyone gets to know each other. Up to this point, I’ve directly invited most of the users

After seeing the the success of cameo.com, I think this could be a good way to get in touch with hard-to-reach influencers/celebrities/etc - might be a good way to send pitches to to high value contacts as well.

Someone was working on a full text search plugin for calibre https://github.com/idealist1508/Recoll-Full-Text-Search-For-... I intended to try it out but never did - might give it a look again soon.

For a few years I've thought it would be cool to experiment with neural interfaces for bomb sniffing dogs/cadaver dogs, etc - so instead of training the dog to find several specific compounds, the system could be trained for multi

HN users do (well, sometimes), and that's why I love the users here. Any time I share a startup, I get at least a little bit of feedback about my TOS/privacy policy.

I'd love a monitor like that for off-grid, low power use. I'd probably also want a linux distro specifically tailored to an e-ink format.

That's awesome - I like the idea that the bell-making business was baked in from the start. I think the same could be done with software development or some sort of SaaS instead of bell-making.

Cool - my email is in my profile. If there's a few people interested, we can put a small chat group together. If nothing else, this kind of thing is fun to talk about.

Ideally by purchasing property that already has a capped well on it, or by drilling a well. If you go to the right places in the California deserts, water isn't even that deep. It's also possible to haul water in - and that's

That's why I like the idea of doing these sorts of projects in the deserts - where the zoning and county codes are often a lot more lenient, and you can be far enough away from anyone else that NIMBYism is almost nonexistent. I've

Perhaps incidents like these will increase the popularity of amateur radio. I'm curious if there's any studies on the potential impacts of the US carriers begin down for a day or a week or more.

It wouldn't be a problem for me as an individual user either. Whether or not it's a problem for github's long term business model is another question.

The message I was implying was that github would no longer be seen as a viable option for government agencies.

by newman8r 6y ago
True - I'm not necessarily agreeing or disagreeing with it. It will send a good message to some people and a bad one to others. To other government agencies, they may see github as a liability and end up leaving github altogether - I t

I don't think OP meant it's lunacy because of any legal obligations private companies have to a federal organization, but rather due to the message it would send to current and future customers.

I kayak in the ocean and have been seeing more whales and dolphins near shore than usual. My layman's theory is that it's due to fewer whale watching boats bothering them - I can hear those boats from miles away.

I have absolutely no problem with Zenni. The idea that I can get my prescription glasses for under $10 is kind of amazing. I've only broken one pair so far after using them for about a year. I found a style of frames I really like and
