I have a similar setup at home with a homemade dashboard. It's less polished and I've never implemented smart home (don't use any smart home devices) but it's calendar, weather, air quality and subway alerts. I also took

They do a version of the SEO/ads game. They also are mostly just people talking. Journalism requires orders of magnitude more effort and resources.

Advertising in an SEO game. Get ranked in Google and take a few pennies from millions of drive-by users. Subscriptions is a loyalty game. Convince users of your value and get them to commit to becoming a supporter for an extended period. Ge

Anecdotally, my partner does experience design for fintech systems akin to Bloomberg for a particular niche. They do the standard lifecycle of user research, design iteration in figma, handoffs to devs and all that. The tech department at t

He has frequently laundered the notion that Russia's invasion of Ukraine was the West's fault for expanding NATO. He also told Tucker Carlson he believed the conspiracy theory that Ukraine hosted American bioweapons labs. He has s

It doesn't matter if he was paid and I have no indication Greenwald ever was either. Only that this line of thinking aligns with Russian propaganda and is also complete nonsense. Saying we should constrain the sovereignty of Eastern Eu

Is he taking a break from being a mouthpiece for Russian propaganda?

I guess I'm in the minority but I haven't noticed a significant variance in quality and features on any chat app I've used in the past 20 years. It seems like a thoroughly solved problem. Slack's "killer feature&quo

I gather this isn't intended a consumer product. It's for academia and research institutions.

This is exactly what happened and not to be immodest but it was my first guess before it was confirmed. The closure was a miscommunication between the FAA and Pentagon set off by a balloon. This was pure incompetence and arrogance. This HN

I got zeros votes amongst the mass speculation over lost nuclear weapons or military experiments but I was pretty close to correct with my guess. Just picked the wrong people. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46972610#46

I honestly assume it's something petty. Like an El Paso air traffic controller was rude to a deportation flight pilot.

I'm nigh on 50 and feel very differently. I honestly loved the 2010s and the adoption of frameworks, SaaS, continuous deployment, cloud and even agile. Delivering software felt a lot more professional and less artisan which I really ap

Kurosawa did this better than anyone. He could make you sit through 2.5 hours of grinding drama and make it feel like barely 5 minutes have passed. Ran (1985) was like that.

A dehumidifier is the same thing as an air conditioner. The coolant coils are still just exposed to the ambient air in the room. The same way a window air conditioner drips moisture, the dryer is like a backwards air conditioner that blows

Presumably it's air source and if it's indoors it will just be the air in whatever room it's in. That's how my ventless dryer works. I'm not sure what the implications are for taking heat from air that may have been

The intractable problem is heat dissipation. There is to little matter in space to absorb excess heat. You'd need thermal fins bigger than the solar cells. The satellite's mass would be dominated by the solar panels and heat fins

At this point in time, why can't we do smart crossings? Like have some sensors and software to change lights based on real-time traffic conditions.

I don't think people are thrilled with Warsh as much as they are relieved it wasn't Hassett or like Kevin O'Leary or something really insane. Warsh has relevant experience and knowledge. He is too close to Trump (and Ron Laud

No indication this is causal, but it is at least a bizarre coincidence.

Is it persistent? Thumbnail generation can bog down the server after a giant upload. Mine was frozen after I first set it up but eventually caught up and now works very smoothly.

I was diagnosed a while back with a chronic neurological disorder. One that has a heavy effect on my mood and can conversely be triggered by my mood. The underlying cause is scientifically proven to be physiological. I lack a specific neuro

Maximizing profit is the essence of capitalism but this is pure rent seeking. They are extracting excessive fees for no obvious value creation.

Use Android or use websites instead of apps. Apple pushes their app ecosystem so hard because it's their walled garden. If you want to support a creator, go their website and click whatever they offer.

Animations and transitions are out of control. I use 1password extensively on my phone and the process of loading and unlocking involves multiple superfluous animations for a task I'm trying to do quickly.

That's ridiculous. Scientists absolutely ask these questions. We just don't have the answers so we don't make assumptions. It is implicitly assumed there is an enormous amount of proto- and pre-human culture and technology th

It's like I can't grow corn, but I can buy corn. That's not the same thing. I can also write code to order corn for me, provided I supply it with a credit card and pay the bill. That is also not very interesting. Incidentally

Corporate raiders is a bit of a different concept. That implies a hostile takeover. Like aggressively buying up shares in order acquire a majority stake and set company policy against the wishes of other insiders. Bending Spoons is what we&
