I think 'revenue money' would feel more like you're a part of a organization that functions properly. It's nice to believe that what you're doing is creating real value rather than just draining a bank account.

I believe honeybees have closer to a million neurons, not 100 billion - according to this wikipedia list [1] - but perhaps it makes more sense to count the total number of neurons in the entire colony. [1] https://en.wikipedia.or

Yeah, I'm reminded of the bystander effect and diffusion of responsibility. Then there's also the phenomenon of lynchings, which I believe are still a big problem in some countries. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wik

My experience with podaero.com has been that things are very civil in small groups where everyone gets to know each other - regardless of whether real names are used (users there have the option between real name or pseudonym). I think it&#

It's possible to have a nice launch at HN, but whether or not that's going to translate into much value is another question. If you have a really great product that everyone just loves, and it's free (or free to try), and it&

They need to be engineered to last for a long time between maintenance, be able to withstand the elements (saltwater, sunlight), and it's critical that the unit functions when you need it. The units are built very tough - mine is water

yeah I've got one too (for kayaking in the ocean and hiking/overlanding), the peace of mind that they offer is worth the cost alone. I like to go places with no cell signal, and when you're hours from the nearest paved road,

You can actually buy a hobbyist DIY kit to put this 'backpack' on a roach. Apparently they get desensitized pretty quickly though. https://backyardbrains.com/experiments/roboRoachSurgery

Ah this is cool - I was just recently wondering if there were any new discussion boards that were mathjax enabled. I'm also working on a discussion community... it's not so easy but the time seems right.

I think in this scenario, where some sort of rule is imposed upon a group that's already been established, people would be justifiably pissed off. I do my best to make the activity requirements clear upfront, so the only people who wil

Much appreciated - The minimum commitment of posting once every 25 days is mostly an incentive to keep people active. In my experience, if these groups go a certain amount of time without activity, they're effectively dead anyway. Rega

The activity requirements are located at the top of the group, the activity requirement for this one is just one post every 25 days. We'll send a single warning email before removing people from the group, to give them a chance to post

I've been trying to make something along those lines at podaero.com, and I'm actually trying to get HN users to join some of the small groups... see here if interested https://podaero.com/info/hacker-pod

Would be great to get to know some HN users better and potentially collaborate on interesting stuff now or in the future. I'm interested in any feedback on the general concept as well, and happy to answer any questions.

I've used that one before. And for those who truly do believe they have nothing to hide, you can point to the ~1% of wrongfully convicted inmates in the US who probably thought they didn't have anything to hide either.

Hey all - would really love to get some HN users into one of these groups. I've been doing direct invites of HN users for a while and it's gone well - I figured it would be nice to open registration up a little bit. I submitted he
