There are a ton of people that want an affordable ICE powered truck, for a variety of valid and invalid reasons. The market is there, but they're going to need to be smart about how they do this if they want to capture that market.

You can order the trees online.

Even my concern that it was tied to an app that might disappear one day is of course covered by the fact that it's all just MIDI files on a card.

I was sorta surprised when the blog mentioned it was like 200k lines of code for an app. I wouldn't think you'd even need an app for something that puts midi files on an sd card.

It manages do that while working in 70+ countries over 15,000 cities with multiple different languages and payment vendors and it is all done via a single application.

I'd assume almost all of that is done server side though. Most likely the app is mostly just a wrapped website with some gps and notification code on top.

and a full radiated test of the product is required

legally?

man I haven't thought of that blog for like 20 years. crazy how many old blogs and web comics that I used to check every day that I've mostly forgotten about.

yeah, even gas stations mostly make their money off of other stuff. if anything it's a little weird for a business to make their money off their primary business model.

ah, I was hoping it was secret thing, because when I put it in the url, it actually showed up as in the toolbar next to the other options.

I just read /news and if I get bored of that I might check out /newest, sometimes I'll check /threads to see if anyone replied to comments I've left.

/latest doesn't do show anything for me, is there a secret to it?

I feel like you'd sell more if you showed a few more examples of both sides instead of just the art.

I'm now getting _this HN article_ as the top Google result for "list of public atproto relays". Weird.

I find that happening all the time when I google stuff discussed in reddit threads, the top result is often the thread I just came from, despite whatever quote or lyric or whatever having existed for years outside of reddit.

You graft a bit from a small tree, to a much more mature rootstock, so the time to market is a lot of less than trying to grow a small tree from start. So like 1-2 years instead of 10+ years. Yes, you still need to get the scion from someone that has them because apples don't breed true, the only true one is the original that all the others are grafted off of.

The cases seem fairly reasonable, given how the defendents were basically engaging in selective breeding to copy the traits.

This, the people that don't understand farming and buy into weird anti-gmo propaganda always claim that a simple google search agrees with them, but when you actually read the cases, it's clear that the people being sued are always in the wrong.

You could graft a young tree to a mature one to decrease the time to market.

The courts at all three levels noted that the case of accidental contamination beyond the farmer's control was not under consideration but rather that Mr. Schmeiser's action of having identified, isolated and saved the Roundup-resistant seed placed the case in a different category.

Between this comment and few of your others above, it's pretty clear you don't have any concept of how farming works and are just angry about things you don't understand.

I used to play that at work, I thought it went away when all the other flash games went away.

Man that South African gold mine could have dug a whole lot less if they started at sea level.

I don't really think a smart watch would add any value to my life, and I suspect that's actually true for most people that think otherwise, but I love the idea of custom watch faces. There are some really interesting and creative ones for pebble, that comic drop one the author links too is pretty sweet.

There are several other EHRs that use MUMPS too.

What's crazy is that there are ton of businesses building processes around LLMs that haven't done this exercise and fully believe the LLM is giving them accurate data.

They'll end up being worth a ton of money in the future like those roofs from the original mazda miatas.

Not really, I need twice-yearly seasonal tire changes/rotations.

Are you somewhere where you actually need dedicated winter tires or have you just convinced yourself that rocking all weathers all year isn't feasible?

Build cool shit and follow the proper release procedures for it.

By all reasonable measures, they did.

The mid-level manager who makes the decision gets to "claim" that expenses were reduced in (1) and "win" at year-end reviews.

I worked at a company where every 6-sigma project ended up that way. They eventually had to stop giving bonuses for 'saving money' because the projects would only save money for a month or two before ending up costing extra in the long run.

I don't know why cops think it's ok to randomly pull over cars just to look at them. They cause a ton of legal liability for their cities and departments by doing it, luckily most people with cool or interesting cars don't seem to mind too much.

It's hard to feel bad about uber destroying taxi services, they had decades to improve the user experience and decided not to.

Linux people said things like this in 2019 too.

They've been saying it since it was competing with Windows XP at least.

47.1% of people with a philosophy degree are working in a job that does not require any college degree.

Theoretically. I know tons of jobs that claim to not require a degree, but actually won't hire anyone without a degree.
