Please don't post shallow dismissals or focus on trivialities. Let's focus on the substance of the project. It's a good sign that an early stage project hasn't devoted a lot of time or cost into their logo.

It’s a low move to suggest that I would ban you over a substantive disagreement in a discussion. I wouldn’t last a day in this job if I misused power like that. > If you made the PCB then you should be well placed to fix issues with it.

I don’t know why you need to be snarky. I’ve been living this for over a decade with engineers with decades of experience who have done some of the most advanced electronics work imaginable (satellites, military drones). To test and rework

Yes, you can learn PCB design “in a month”, design your board and get a batch of prototypes made up by JLCPCB. All of that takes 2-3 months absolute minimum. Then you have to test the boards. You need a lot of costly equipment and expertise

I can speak from experience here (I’ve been around small-scale electronics design/manufacturing for decades via my father’s business and was hands-on with it on an ag-IoT project for about 10 years). The limiting factor in electronics&

As defrost suggested, your comments have been autokilled as our software classifies them as likely LLM-generated or edited/polished. Please don't do this on HN. The community here much prefers imperfect-but-authentic writing, and

OK, sorry for that; I've removed the accusation of failing to disclose your competing service. It's still not great community participation, piggy-backing onto someone else's launch thread with these kinds of comments, and re

It’s this repetition of caloric balance dogma that’s most unhelpful and unwelcome here. If if was that simple, everyone would already have done it. Appetite and metabolism are not that simple and continuing to insist that they are serves on

Please don't harangue people about exercise and diet on HN. Everyone has heard it countless times here and elsewhere. Obviously, many people find that approach doesn't (easily) work. Yes, it's well known GLP-1s can have negat

Please don’t post off-topic hearsay like this here. This article isn’t about maintenance, it’s about a manufacturing fault and the incredible work by the pilots to avert a colossal aviation disaster. Qantas continues to have an unblemished

Appending "Thanks, dicks" weakens the comment because it demonstrates they have nothing to say other than vulgarity, which means they have nothing substantive to say at all. We never object to profanity by itself on HN. We do obje

Be kind. Don't be snarky. Converse curiously; don't cross-examine. Edit out swipes. Comments should get more thoughtful and substantive, not less, as a topic gets more divisive. When disagreeing, please reply to the argument
