I bought a new Ford F250 a few years ago and it came with a built-in fleet management service/subscription with GPS tracking. I flipped it a few months later to a dealer and I had to proactively bug them to take over the access to the

For better or for worse, people (the masses) adopt technologies based on actual usefulness, the product experience, and trust. Most people's actions tend to disregard social/environmental impacts of a technology. This is why air

Also to clarify, yes: I understand most digital pianos have midi baked in. It's an easy signal to get out. I think this is a great product concept and there's nothing wrong with it--people will buy it! Just spitballing if hardwa

Sorry I'm not sure you're following me. I'm suggesting that the user's phone that they already need (since the hardware pairs with the app in the article) is the hardware in this context. A phone already has a microphone

As someone with a professional background in consumer hardware (and music production) my first thought is always "how can I solve this problem without hardware" first. Don't get me wrong--hardware is fun--but manufacturing an

This is awesome! One question, though: why not just work with straight audio and convert to midi with some basic* signal processing assuming a use case of instruments/sounds that aren't crazy synthesized. You could then also use

The even wilder thing is that the CIA actively hired former Nazis (and relocated them and their families) in Operation Paperclip after the war to aid in Cold War operations... https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_P

This is amazing. Would love an actual geophysicist to chime in to verify how accurate this was. I really felt like I learned something...but did I?

Max headroom hack x hacker's manifesto! I'm impressed with the head movement dynamism on this one. https://6ammc3n5zzf5ljnz.public.blob.vercel-storage.com/inf2...

I can see how this would make sense, though. If the culture is sensitive to the concept of respect, perhaps it's more likely to perceive what it sees as disrespectful occurrences. Related tangent: I, no joke, dreamt last night I was at

To what degree is referring to Taiwan as "province of China," (I've heard it referred to as Republic of China/ROC) pandering to the PRC/CCP? That being said, TIL that referring to it in this way is in line with the

Naive question: why should the expansion rate need to be uniform or constant everywhere? I'm likely misinterpreting the article, but it seems to frame things in a way that first assumes expansion should be constant and it's a ques

I wish there were a solution to managing whatever the equivalent of software-creep (law-creep?) in this space. Are there any examples of countries/governments that have successfully implemented such systems. Either way, I don't l

I was hoping (based on my initial reading of the HN title) that they tried the Marshmallow test on adults.

Have good experience here. Doctors are particularly difficult group to get a hold of cold for somewhat obvious reasons (overworked, value privacy, etc). The most effective approach I've seen is to focus on a niche type of medicine&#x2F

Not surprising. YC founders are blessed creatures who are (or will be) indoctrinated into the Thiel Zero to One philosophy of building a monopoly. If the monopoly doesn't exist, why should they care ;) OK all jokes aside, honestly two

Very excited by this and congratulations. I've been an avid causal user on the free plan at the early-stage startup I work for, and used it at my startup before that. It's been so great to see how the product has evolved. I can&#x

I don't know if it really counts--though maybe so if Strange Days makes it on the list--Cypher (2002) with Jeremy Northam and Lucy Liu is a pretty fun ride filled with corporate espionage intrigue.

Excellent movie with an absolute brilliant score from Kenji Kawai. I love the elements of applying an anime-style (i.e. the set design and how background characters physically behave) to live action. The ending also hits hard with a kind of

I'm not sure if this feature request makes sense: also enabling having an option pool created at the SAFE round. I've had a situation where a lead investor requested an option pool created as part of a pre-seed round on SAFEs.

This is SO awesome! Great work! This is really nice for getting a quick ball-park idea on strategy or getting up and running on the early-side. This is MUCH cleaner/nicer than e.g. Carta's simulation tool. My co-founders and I wil
