She also didn't have a choice because delivery apps didn't exist

What do you guys do differently than Jetbrains products?

Why will we have to see? It's not like this is the first time anyone has worked remotely. People have been working remotely for decades, which is proof that it works for those people. In fact entire companies recently (last 5ish years) have created entirely remote companies.

I am a young and relatively healthy person.

Really?? Where does it state that?

Article says he had no living relatives, so Darwin Award for sure.

Does anyone here think it's a bad idea to travel internationally at this time? I have a trip from US to UK planned in 2 weeks...

Oh god I used to have some of these!!

I inherited them from my grandmother. Should I be worried about having used them for years?

I feel like the audience this article was written for would do well to try out Reaper. It's a FOSS DAW that has almost every feature you wpuld ever need, but also has a steep learning curve.

Wow I actually didn't know all the history of this town, and I've lived here for a few years.

Thanks for sharing this!

Yeah it is in Orlando :)

It's a great place to live, tons of parks around, literally everything I need within walking or biking distance. We even have a 30 mile bike trail that starts from here.

I was just using my area as an example of how this model can work if designed well.

I live in one of the major metro areas of Florida, and even here public transport is abysmal. We have a single train line that goes north south about 30-50 miles. And a few buses that basically ferry the homeless around all day while they sleep on it.

That's it.

I live in a place exactly like this in Florida called Baldwin Park. It's much better designed and I love living here. The main difference is a few things (and these really matter to me):

1. All the parking is parallel parking along all the streets. This ensures that the number of businesses don't need their own massive ugly parking lots

2. There are actually apartments here above the businesses, so that it's always active, the people that live here keep the businesses below in business. We have everything from lawyers to gyms to dentists right below my feet in a single square mile.

3. This is actually a community. We have multiple community events and I can just show up and be there. We have a big shopping day every first Friday of the month where local merchants will set up tents and sell their stuff. They also do some event for nearly every holiday.

4. The entire town center is walkable. A square mile of walkable businesses, a park, a pool, etc.

Tell that to firms like Softbank. They have enough money to play the game as long as they want. Even massive loses don't make them blink until WeWork happened.

Wow. That sounds pretty life changing. I'd love to try it but I'm afraid of the long term effects of a bad trip

What do you mean by "calmed me for years"?

What would be some fundamentals to practice for a software developer?

Agreed. I think pure THC is an awful experience, possibly with long term side effects we don't know about at this time.

There are lots of other compounds in flower that negate and balance the effects of THC. I think without them, you may end up in an awful state.

I know I have personally used the oil pens before that are pure THC, and they just made me feel anxious and insane.

This is a serious attempt. I've been following these guys for years. Last year they had a full makeshift staff of volunteer designers, engineers, web devs, etc. to build out this project further. They performed a lot of materials and manufacturing research to build these simple and affordable machines. Although the machines they developed are around $10k for a full setup, compare that to the multiple millions it costs to setup a true recycling center and you'll understand how important this is.

A small community can (and are) band together to build or purchase these machines to create community recycling centers, turning their trash into art or other useful things like dishes and furniture.

I was obsessed with this project for the last few years. Happy and surprised to see them on HN.

CD Projekt Red has figured it out, but their company is funded by the Polish government...so I'd say they're in a unique position to be able to take their time.

I feel like this kind of "research" is the bulk of neuroscience papers that I see these days. Or they're at least the ones that get shared the most because they claim to explain things that haven't been explained yet.

Absolutely agree! I'm 11 years younger than you and I realized this myself recently after having 2 unfulfilling jobs out of college. I'm absolutely tired of making other people rich d ppl ing something I don't enjoy.

I really just need enough to survive, and more free to time to actually pursue my passions and dreams. I think that's the true way to live.

My coworkers are obsessed with working as hard as they can, putting it all into their 401k so they can retire in 30 years. What an awful way to think about life.

"I'm only a slave for 40 years then I can do what I want".

No, do what you want now!

I guess it really depends where you're at. I had a fantastic experience when I visited Seattle.

For someone that never used it, what was the appeal of this service? I took a look at the site and didn't really get it.

What does this have over Spotify?

Agreed on the Ivy League part. I work with a guy that went to Princeton. I went to a public University in Florida.

Sure he learned a lot more and had to do a thesis for his undergrad, but we have the same job now.

He has no more leverage than me when it comes to that.

Hey man. This is awesome stuff. I'm actually an entrepreneur as well building a social music app. Email me if you're interested, I can tell you more about it.

A lot of the initial work will be using the Spotify API and others to aggregate musician data.

I've registered the LLC and my cofounder and I have been brainstorming the software, but haven't really started anything yet.

Have been too busy with the holidays and vacation.

Edit: email is in my about

Taking a break for them is directly losing them money. Imagine how much money a company loses by shutting down for say an entire week.

Imagine losing an entire week of revenue for the company. That's a big deal to them.

Especially because their revenue is directly dependent on their popularity. If their content isn't available, people will just move on to the next best thing.

And that is why it is a bubble!

SV VCs are throwing money at everything they can, even bad ideas or things that already exist. I wasn't around for the dotcom bubble but I heard it was exactly the same way.

So how exactly did you find apps/sites to partner with? I've never heard of either of those.

Government jobs suck. Period.

Here is the actual text for the requirements to be a GS-13 employee (and they are strict on these)

"GS-13 Federal Employee Base Salary GS-13 government employees will receive a base salary of between $76,687.00 and $99,691.00, depending on their General Schedule Step. The educational and experience requirements for most GS-13 government jobs are: Master's or Ph. D."

For most companies in that area, you can paid that salary or more right out of a Bachelor's. I've worked a government job before amd always felt undervalued, even compared to contractors who were ok n the same team as me (they were making nearly 40% more than I made with similar experience).

And I'm almost positive if you take this position, you'll be working on propping up old, irrelevant tech from who knows how many years ago.
