I disabled it after a very potentially awkward event. I was talking to my wife while Siri on my Apple Watch misunderstood me, triggered itself and sent a text saying "I love you" to our previous maid (which we had fired because of

I’m seeking a cofounder, perhaps even a mentor. I have a small booking platform for surfing schools. Not limited to surfing but I decided to tackle this niche first. Being used right now by one surfing school, perhaps more soon. Website at

Nice, but sadly the shipping options still don’t include my country (PT). I wonder why, since they ship to some other EU countries.

I wonder how much of this is still possible. I have been trying to define an audience (ie, people who work at surfing schools), without much success.

I liked The Three Body problem. The story is very good, but it was also interesting to read the Chinese point of view.

One funny thing is that in Portuguese the word for turkey (the bird) is Perú… also the same word as the South American country. Turkey is Turquia though…

Very cool to know. I did something very similar for Surfing schools. Not yet making any money off it, but I am trying to. Reaching out to other surfing schools, improving the product adding new features.

The price difference between the US/Europe is mostly due to taxes. US prices don't have taxes included, European prices do.

Thanks! As soon as I find the time I will use it in my useless project, https://caolendario.pt , a pun on the Portuguese word cão (dog) + calendário (calendar). Photos are taken from https://dog.ceo/dog-api/

Don’t forget his collaboration in the One giant leap album, it is one great set of tunes… https://youtu.be/cOG1UBeTH4Y

Where I live in Portugal, close to the Aveiro lagoon, there are now lots of storks, flamingoes, wild ducks and other marine birds. I don't remember all this variety and quantity when I was a kid. Every time I marvel at a flock of these

While I sympathise with some of your points, this would be something like The Homer: https://simpsonswiki.com/wiki/The_Homer

I learned BASIC and English at roughly the same time because of this book. I had only learned the basics (aha!) at school but I wanted so much to learn how to program the machine that I kept at at, scaffolding one on top of the other. Amazi

I was there in 2017, the landscape is stunning. I visited the volcanic park of Timanfay and smaller volcanoes you can go into like el Cuervo. There are also other nice places to visit like the Mirador Del Rio and (if you like it), the Saram

Not the parent, but I use Shelly devices flashed with the shelly-homekit firmware and I can control them with the HomeKit app or Siri. I haven't bothered yet to add a open/close sensor so the current open state is lost if I use th

I wish too! Still, managed to find the local scene here in Portugal, some of it still active. We’re having a party in a couple of weeks.

There is a view of the Taj Mahal from Agra fort where it looks larger when viewed from a particular window. Looks similar to this illusion.

This reminds me of the the Stephen's Baxter book "the light of other days". A wormhole device was used to capture video from any spacetime coordinates. It was a nice book.

my HP48 GX calculator had a IR port, and there was an app that could use it as a TV remote transmitter. Install the correct tv brand "driver" and off you went. Worked great. Also, one project I did at a hackaton was a tv remote ap

Had this happen to me multiple times. App is published, then we do a minor update, like api endpoints and the review fails for something that didn’t change. I get it, perhaps it should have been caught on first review, but it is always very

I sold my house without any agents in Portugal. They are common and people use their services frequently, but I figured I could do it by myself and pocket the fees.

Yes, it was great. We were free to roam around inside and saw most of it, up to the monastery, and then up to another viewpoint ("the best view in the world"). I think we walked about 20km that day. It was worth it. We bought tick

I must say I visited Jordan with my wife in 2020, right before the pandemic and I had a wonderful experience. No heckling, we felt safe all the time, people didn't rip us off, and when looked at we felt it was more curiosity than anyth
