Same here in Seattle, both in the city proper and in the surrounding suburbs. Many public schools closing down due to lower enrollment. Partly because many parents are opting for private school, but also because there are fewer kids in the

OpenGarage is great. I have an overcomplicated system that goes from iPhone widget -> Apple Home -> Home Assistant (HomeKit Bridge) -> OpenGarage, but it has worked great for the past few years. I could probably cut out the Apple-d

Maybe not but I bet that this many unique credit card emails eventually tripped over some threshold in a risk model. It’s too hard to adjust the model for one person, and putting in an exception for this one person means they take on additi

A long time ago (in the 2000s) I was interviewed by a guy who was the maintainer for notepad. It was a part time job. Now I’m sure there’s a whole team around it with multiple devs, a designer, a product manager, a program manager, and now

I disagree. Pointing to some of the more extreme beliefs held by the left on those topics has been very effective in pushing people away. My wife, active on Chinese social media, forwards me a lot of indignant videos about some of the thing

Social media upvoting/downvoting that results in comments being hidden is the reason for this. Even a small imbalance in one direction or the other effectively silences one side. Perfectly legitimate, well-reasoned comments will get an

(Playing devil's advocate, without the agreement) When my wife and I decided to upgrade to a house, we kept our townhouse to use as a rental property. Shortly afterwards, the city council (Seattle) and state government started passing

How do you ensure the trace elements are present and available? I assume there's some testing you can do for both the soil and the produce, but how do you fix any deficiencies that you discover?

This attitude is a HN/reddit thing and the incredulity is a sign you spend a lot of time in that online bubble. The rest of us just buy what makes the most sense for us and our families.

I hooked up an old PC to my TV and then taught my extremely tech illiterate wife to use VNC on her phone to control the PC. Now her YouTube and Chinese streaming sites are ad-free. My kids will have to wait until they can operate a web brow

Where in Seattle does this? Maybe it’s different on the east side. Costco and the grocery store chains here certainly don’t do that.

Someone unilaterally declared some existing behavior as non-inclusive and then now suddenly everyone apparently is a dick for not immediately agreeing to it? Not sure who’s actually the problem here.

I'm really glad that Google/Waymo isn't the only player in this space. Everything Google invests in is ultimately to benefit their ad business. If Tesla wasn't also competing here, the future would be robot taxis that re

As a glass half full guy, I appreciate Reddit and CNN/Fox comment sections for compartmentalizing all of these people away from the rest of us.

It’s amazing the shared delusion that my entire family participates in. My kids somehow get driven by a vaporware FSD to school every day in a car that I was told will never exist let alone be allowed on streets.

I’m thankful that I happened to end up in this field but I’m not going to feel guilty about it. It is hard work and stressful, and if someone’s going to be “lucky” that they chose the right field why can’t it be me?

I don’t think a world of carefully curated dopamine in your pocket is progress for the human race. And besides, these bans _are_ designing society around the existence of cell phones.

It's sad how politics can dominate even "smart" people to the point that they refuse to appreciate how magical it is that an off the shelf car can drive itself on the vast majority of roads.

This is a year old link to a discussion forum of lower quality than HN. This is a fun topic for sure, but there’s got to be a better way to start it than linking to a random old post on Reddit.
