   I'm sorry this isn't super actionable, but in case it's a helpful data point, I tried to check this out and wasn't able to. To repro: 1. Clicked on your link 2. Moused over "Construct 3" in the header, clicked

   One of my favorite things about HN is that comments from folks who obviously didn't read the article tend to sink to the bottom.

   I have personal experience with this. Small town. Handful of law firms. None of them would take a case against a local small business because they all had some kind of relationship with that business. The case was strong, and I had no troub

   Here's how we know this isn't true: they evaluated how to do this at scale, chose facial recognition, and then implemented it successfully in a 6,000 person stadium.

   I tried Kagi for a couple of weeks and the results were painfully inferior to Google's. I was really hoping they'd be good.

   As hinted by "price" != "worth," price and value ("worth") have specific economic meanings. A quick search will give you the Econ 101 explanation of these terms, so you can understand the difference: - https:&

   That sounds hard to deal with! I haven't had the exact same experience, but I have spent periods of my life living in places where it was hard to build a social support structure. One thing I noticed: it sounds like you're thinkin

    This was true for me as well, but I'm happy I started working towards those things anyway. I wanted to abandon "normal life" and live on a sailboat, so I developed healthy financial habits and a career in order to achieve tha

    I would argue it's already Avon for tech bros. That $10,000 Avon "investment" by a teacher making $30k is similar to a $100,000 crypto "investment" by a tech bro making $300k.

    Disagree. All the warnings suggest rider error. I suspect that if they published, "We've determined that, on average, approximately once every N miles, a onewheel is likely to briefly fail to deliver power to its motor, throwing i

    Exactly, this is the core issue. It also doesn't only happen when the onewheel runs out of juice. There are endless reports of it just having some sort of control fault and blipping for an instant (I've experienced this myself, th

    As a onewheel owner, this response is missing something very important: because it has one wheel , it doesn't matter, even a little, what kind of "posture" you're in when the board blips. You go flying, end of story. El

    Are we sharing anecdata now? I also have an XR with about 1k miles on it. For the vast majority of those miles it's been fine. It's had two issues, both of which were terrifying. The first was just a simple nosedive. For some frac
