HN user
What I really enjoy about hn is the fact that it’s not infinite scrolling. I scan the front page, if something grabs my attention, I’ll look at. If something has a lot of comments, it seems important. When I’m done scanning/reading, I’m done. On social media, you’re never done.
beautiful! how long did you take for the south america part?
"The Day You Became A Better Writer" is still my favorite piece on writing. Short, simple, useful. Worth saving: https://archive.ph/yomrs
why print it? the illustration of the size of the cube is still valid if unprinted (if it where correct) and it makes it worthless to steal
for them it's just paper. how much does it cost to print a dollar bill. (would you even need to print it for this project)
Also, the more SUVs are driven, the less safe people feel (and arguably are), accelerating the need to buy an SUV for safety reasons.
Almost like they made a great leap forward during that century.
Did you learn the kanji for the first 1000 words? Looking into learning Japanese as well. I tried the Remembering the Kanji by Heisig but that felt rather abstract after a while.
You just don’t want to crash with something like that. If all cars were build like that it might even be ok but try crashing into a normal sized car…
He recommend Proton Mail. However there's been a few comments lately on hn that its privacy isn't really sufficient. I'm wondering what I can use instead? Self hosting seems not only burdensome but likely less secure.
Was wondering this as well. Looks a bit like a Logitech MX 3. Hard to find pictures from the same angle.
uses the hotel Rolls to do errands
that's the way!
of course the b-52 is a completely different airframe. Just wondering what the reasons are you wouldn't be able to convert airliners to be used in that role. It's been done for fire bombing!
I always wondered why the B-52 didn’t get replaced by converted airliners (787 has quite similar dimensions I believe). Would be much cheaper to run and could do practically the same thing, no?
Not irrelevant at all! Compare their branding to that of Boston Dynamics. Their branding of robots reminds me more of a Black Mirror episode... If Claude was a dog like robot, it sure would look like a golden retriever or something. Positive AI branding should create a positive public perception which in turn should create a positive attitude towards AI regulation.
Why should you do so? What’s the advantage or would you say it’s even necessary?
What are considered best practices for a German/EU citizen to start a startup in the US? What would be the process to found a company and to move to the US to work for your own company be like? Or would it be better to found it Germany and move it to the US at a later point (after PMF for example)?
Regulation protects old, big incumbents that are slow to innovate. How is that a competitive market? Meanwhile innovation, wealth and power is created elsewhere.
German here. There are plenty of ambitious people who work more than 10h/day and nobody cares. Law companies who should know best, are especially known for their dumb working hours. That rule is rather in place to protect workers that are not in a powerful negotiation position. Which is fine I guess. About healthcare: wouldn't that make it actually easier to hire employees because they know they'll be covered if they join a startup (risky!) instead of having to worry about that as well?
I think you got it wrong. That's why the motherboards on macs for example are "beautiful" and black.
You can click on [4] which brings you to the footnote and when done you can just use the back button which brings you back to [4] in the text. Works for me.
This vivid discussion really makes me want to see what Apple did come up with for the UI. I doubt they made it all touch screens. But Apple might have had one of the biggest influences on car UIs. After the iPhone came out all the car makers wanted to be cool as well and put them in?
Apart from a better calendar and one universal time zone, time should be stated in swatch internet time / French revolutionary time. One day has 1000 beats each 85.4s long. Perfect!
Anyone has an idea what caused the decline in Motor Vehicle Deaths from ~2004-2014?
They have a similar percentage of held to maturity unrealized losses to equity as SVB. So, not good.
Charles Schwab $SCHW 4Q22
Held-to-maturity unrealized losses $15,580 mln / Tangible common equity $17,439 mln = HTM losses of equity 89%
Compared to Silicon Valley Bank $SIVB 4Q22
Held-to-maturity unrealized losses $15,160 mln / Tangible common equity $11,880 mln = HTM losses of equity 128%

Why does Bing/Sydney sound like HAL when I'm reading it in my head?
even before an offshore wind park was completed, Microsoft swooped in and bought up its capacity for one of their datacenters.
Why is that bad? Isn’t it great that such an investment is so quickly finding a customer?
If you want to learn how to develop for iOS, I think Stanford's CS193P is very well taught.
It's not that small but Brandlhuber built a single family brutalist building fairly recently called Anitvilla: https://www.archdaily.com/627801/antivilla-brandlhuber-emde-...
Emissions will go down, no? Also depends on the filter somewhat, I guess. But from how I understand it, the emissions aren't that high to begin with. Of course breathing in metal nano-particles from filaments with additives doesn't sound that healthy...
