Fiber optic cabling is definitely a bigger lift but the idea that the mount to drop something from a drone is something that is difficult for anybody with even a bit of knowledge seems like fear mongering. I mean it's a 3D print and se

Who is your market? In my area takeoffs are done by lumber yards, it's just a service they provide in order to win the business. So you are going to be selling B2B into a market that is very slow and resistant to change. I imagine many

This looks to be about running LoRa like networks on WiFi hardware. Speed on LoRa is not something talked about much as it is more like SMS message passing or the like than IP networking.

We are talking about Amazon engineers here. They are in the top 3% of earners, I don't think we need to cry too many tears about them going back to the office.

These do exist but are indeed complicated. Still pretty new. Usually used with hydronic systems.

I built an early site using those techniques in oh, 1996 I think? (stomped.com) Using zero border/padding tables was a clever way at the time of accomplishing a fancy graphics tab/menu without resorting to calling a CGI script.

This looks quite nice, thank you for releasing it open source. Also neat to see a real Flutter app in the wild, this seems like a great use case for it. Would love to read your experience building something polished across ios/android

I'm vegan and athletic. I get about .7g/lb of protein a day which by most any measure is enough for anybody save people doing steroids. People approach veganism as "take out the meat", which leads to nutritional deficien

What in the world do you do? 300 rentals a year and you are range limited on those trips? Genuinely interested just can't even imagine your life!

Strange, I get the right answer on GPT4 > If the word "push" is written in mirror writing and you are seeing it from your side of the glass door, you should pull the door towards you. The reason for this is that the instruction

Lilygo makes a ton of really fun ESP32 dev boards. I've used various ones in projects and it is pretty crazy what you can get for not much money. They are constantly churning out new, weird form factors: https://www.lilygo

They aren't as good at long distances, you have that part right. Your numbers could be debated but are close enough. Most people don't drive long distances on the regular though. They are MUCH better for day to day if you can char

I used to feel the same way but Flutter is hardly a new technology anymore yet still seems to be used very little. I've dabbled with it on hobby projects here and there and it seems "fine" but not sure I'd bet the farm o

Where are you flying? I've never lost a bag outright but I've had bags delayed by days or weeks on maybe 5% of flights. I tend to go to places off the beaten path though. If at all possible I use carry on only.

Have you watched other videos of flux pinning? This sure looks like those to me, it's a weird phenomenon.

I think it's basically some PM taking a stand at Tesla with the fact that there's just no good estimate possible without knowing the route, so they will always show EPA estimate. Any sane a Tesla driver changes that to show percen

Hah, what a great article. I play chess (poorly for the time spent on it) and I'm also a reasonably successful founder of a couple software companies. I find my struggle with chess is that I want to act intuitively, something that has

They buried the lead.. "You may not think it will happen to you. But drug-induced mania and drug-induced psychosis are well-documented phenomena. They should not be dismissed or waved off as fear-mongering. This applies to cannabis, co

I'm interested but $100/yr kind of sounds like a lot. Is it free to host? I wouldn't mind building up credits for a road trip later if I didn't have to pay. Also maybe a monthly price would make more sense as I tend to b

It is a bit weird. I've been toying with all the various Twitter alternatives as they have had their 5 minutes of fame and Threads definitely feels different and like it might stick. That feels like very big news but not to HN I guess?

Not sure how early we are talking with Amazon but I was there in '99 and that was not the case then, nor did I ever hear of such a thing. Not that I have lots of positive things to say about Bezos but he knew what the site was doing an

Woah, I remember playing BRE, which must have been close to 30 years ago. Impressed the author still has a site for it much less that you can purchase it!

Office buildings are often tricky to turn into apartments. Too much interior space, not enough windows. But I agree someone should look into it!

My understanding is they encrypt your database with a password before syncing to the cloud. They don't sync the password and there's no recovery.
