So, lessons learned? Bring bigger sweets, with more eye-catching designs, including a clear call to action, and which are sugar-free and inedible.

Typical tech-guy reaction! xD

I think the obvious lesson is: Just grab any bag of sweets and go for a chat.

You say it yourself:

It can be a bit intimidating to go up to strangers and say "TALK TO ME". But saying "Hello! Would you care for a sweet?" is a socially acceptable ice-breaker.

The printing didn't matter.

Let me put this into perspective as an outsider:

``` I have been looking at starting a business and am a Dentist with lots of experience.

I also love learning about masonry and construction, but have never actually tried building anything.

Lately, I have been interested in buying things that are made locally. One construction item that I would like to invest in is a brick house; I did a lot of searching online, and this seems to be something that has a decent amount of demand.

There does seem to be a market opportunity for high-quality houses made locally.

My question is: as a dentist with zero experience building physical things, should I try building brick houses? I have plenty of space to set up a small operation and a little capital to get started. What are the pitfalls? Has anyone with a dental background moved into constructing physical items like this? ```

Don't expect your former job knowledge to be of much use for this endeavor.

This does not mean "Don't do it!" but rather "Be aware of the scope!".

Good luck!

Have a look here:

"ÖPNV" (Öffentlicher PersonenNahVerkehr) is the German abbreviation for "public transport". And "Karte" <-> "map"

It's trickling down ...

can't put my finger on it

It's all about repugnant materialism and self-promotion

To use Go Note Go in the shower, acquire a waterproof Bluetooth enabled keyboard, and pair it with your Go Note Go Raspberry Pi 400. Go ahead and leave that waterproof keyboard in your shower.

I argue that the former reason is an undercover version of the latter.

No shit, Sherlock !

The next step in ruining Signals reputation.

They just keep on bugging.

Bold claim!

Apparently some things got stolen already the first night since apparently they did not guard the side properly. :/

Oh, this is not a Michael Jackson reference ...

MP3s are about as universal as it gets.

The same holds true for cassette tape decks in old cars.

even iTunes [...]

That's Apple's policy. Personally I wouldn't use the word "even" here. It's like saying "Not even the butcher sells vegetables!".

Apart the Apple ecosystem, opus is as established as it gets. Android supports it natively since 2013(?) (Android 5.0).

So, yes, if you want TeX-like backward-compatibility, it might be a good choice.

For all others: knock knock The new millennium arrived!

P.S. I do think that I don't have the worst hearing and kind of decent listening equipment and I can nearly half the file size using opus at a comparable quality.

For god's sake, there is opus. I just don't understand, why people stick with their 90s codecs.

Just wanted to recommend the Landau and Lifshitz book as well. It's pretty dense but elegant.

I should probably set a filter rule for medium. The quality of all recent articles I skimmed was subpar.

That's self fulfilling. You can skim the article in seconds. Most is blabla.

I have learned or got nothing by reading this - just lost time.

The only reason I skip HN more and more is because of stuff like this floating on top.

Ever heard of Louis Rossmann?

Show me a _single_ MP from CDU or CSU in favor of free regional transport.
