See if you can work with data from Strava. Generate groups of people that do similar activities in similar areas, and then somehow invite them to group rides. Those that show up could be a great start on getting some network effect.

Though to be honest I have no idea what kind of info is available from Strava, but I feel that the more you can do on your end and the less involvement required by users, the further you could get with a greater number of people. Relying on people coming to you to sign up for yet another social network seems like a lot to ask of people.

The frontend of HN?

You forgot that the government forces everybody to use a single service, and will sent a SWAT team to any company not using AWS.

Indeed. If you don't shave your yak when you should, your yak(s?) will shed profusely and the hair will clog not only your shower, but also all the plumbing in your house. Thus, creating a kind of "kuldge debt".

Aaaargo!

Google-maps directions—set to cycling—gives gradient info. I don't use that feature regularly—and not for accessibility planning|assessment—but if you haven't checked it out, it may be worth a look.

So you don't know what a new yorker is?

I don't know what a "yorker" is, never mind a new one.

To be fair though, I'm guess you meant one of these two; either a "New Yorker" (citizen of the state of New York), or a "New Yorker" (citizen of the city of New York, New York).

Or would that second one be a "New York, New Yorker?"

-------------------------------------------------------

For example:

The new new New Yorker was new to New York, New York. New New York is known for it's saturation with new New Yorkers. Now I know that would be a bit nuanced, but nevertheless I knew you as a new New Yorker of "The New New York" (New York) would find it relevant. I just didn't know if you knew that yet.

"Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo"

"... is a grammatically correct sentence in American English, often presented as an example of how homonyms and homophones can be used to create complicated linguistic constructs through lexical ambiguity and the usage of homophony and homonymy."

"More easily decoded, though semantically equivalent, would be:

Buffalo from Buffalo... whom other buffalo from Buffalo bully... [themselves] bully buffalo from Buffalo."

Bread and circuses.

Think about who can partake in Fandom. What an elevated position they're in, globally. What a luxury such indulgence is.

Yes. Very.

But we say wages are "stagnant" when really "wages continue to shrink" would be more accurate.

Electic shifting is irrelevant here. Does it contribute energy to the propulsion? No. It would be akin to asking if wearing a digital watch rather than an automatic (mechanical) watch makes your bike an electic bike.

You can say it aids propulsion, but that's only because it aids managing the gear ratios. It doesn't contribute energy to the the propulsive force of the engine of the bike (the cyclist). Yes, it is involved in the drivetrain, but the engine in the derailleur does not contribute wattage to the turning of the cranks. It's power is applied to a horizontal repositing of the conduit through which the propulsive power is transferred.

If "HMS" is ambiguous, than [surely "carrier" is too](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carrier).

That's not "closely-guarded". What you describe is not active guarding so much a characteristic of the antiquited data-retrieval system and the cost associated with manually serving information from that system.

Cite opposition to attempts to reform that system for a better one (that can be polled programatically for example), and then we can say that calling it "closely guarded" is accurate.

It's similar to calling the data contained in microfilm at your local library "closely-guarded". It's cumbersome to parse, yes. It's kept behind lock and guarded doors (when the library is closed), yes. But access is not reserved for those who meet security and/or idological criteral and vetting. There is no attempt to prevent the decemination of the information to others outside a vetted pool of privilaged users. What makes microfilm difficult to access is not it being closely guarded, but rather just that nobody's gone and digitized it — yet (If this is not true, then just image we're in the year 2007, or 1997). If people trying to digitize such material were hampered by active effort of the keepers of the microfilm because the said "keepers" didn't want the information available more broadly... then that would be "close-guarded". But that is not what's happening.

So yes, it's term is click bait. Or just bad, imprecise writing.

ironic.

Why are you on Hacker news?

But that it's not centered relative to the keyboard!!! ARG!!

Get the lower resolution 1920x1080 without touchscreen and it's better than the 4k touchscreen.

Good point. Go for it.

Chorded keyboards are silly - just like chorded instruments. Can't argue with the obvious superiority of the 2000-keyed guitar rather than just one with 6 strings and 20 frets.

Also, it's not like you'll be using keyboards for half a decade, so yeah... learning something like that would be a total waste of time.

Also apps using sd for storage is on an app by app basis. So say if Google turns that off for Play Music - as it seems they just did - well, now I have to cancel my subscription for that service and find something else to use my 64gb sd for. ffs.

1. Paper notebook

2. Laptop

3. Apparently another fucking thing as well now.

I've used this desk for a month or two now. It's great. The only issue is that shaking that happens as the desk descends. Otherwise, it's solid. I'm 6'4" and have about 3" of wood* under each of the four contact-points.

* A 2x10 bucked up into 1' pieces = 8 pieces. Stack 2 under each of four of the desk's feet, and yer set!
