Glosster··on Show HN: Language_tool_Python – a Python grammar checker based on LanguageTool
This is actually exactly what I needed. Telepathy works.
Glosster··on We Managed to Slightly Beat the Market with Machine Learning
What do you think your edge is? ELI5 please.
Glosster··on Ask HN: How do you take notes on things you read online?
I just save them to memory, by adding them as flashcards to ANKI. :)

It's the software that changed me from an idiot to an average person.

Glosster··on [dead]
It's interesting that the optimization chooses to increase the airplane's altitude throughout the day then immediately cut power to near zero in the evening. I imagine this is so that the solar energy from the solar panels can be "stored" as potential energy with gravity?

Is using Jupyter notebooks like this common in the mechanical/aerospace engineering design phase? Seems like a reasonable thing to do prior to CAD/full physics simulations.

Glosster··on IMF predicts worst downturn since Great Depression
Well said! Personally, I'd rather see growth in non-polluting technologies, mental health, education, and other aspects of our society. I don't care about overall economic growth and GDP.

Thanks for taking the time to explain at a basic level, this was very interesting!
Glosster··on Hungary’s prime minister is using the virus to make an authoritarian power grab
Where have I seen this before?

Ah yeah... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DgxZr6LLS34

Glosster··on WireGuard 1.0 for Linux 5.6
Do I understand correctly? You use WireGuard to set up your own VPN servers? Doing this is a lot more expensive than buying a VPN subscription, but it can be more secure if you know what you're doing, right?
Glosster··on Responding to Covid-19
Great initiative, thank you!
Glosster··on Private Internet Access Announces WireGuard VPN Beta
This is really good news. When will this be available to all users?
Glosster··on Launching Version 12.1 of Wolfram Language and Mathematica
If they could also make the Mathematica software free to use... now that would be a win.
Glosster··on Ask HN: What are the main platforms used by freelancers to sell their services?
Main attractions for me would be a lot of high-quality buyers, and low platform fees (below 10%). By high-quality buyers, I mean the types that don't expect to pay you $10 per hour, and are able to formulate requirements and milestones properly, do not keep changing them afterwards, etc.
Glosster··on The Block Tee by Plotinus
This reminds me of Supreme's Box Logo Tees. Those sell for irrationally exorbitant amounts. What I found also irrational was Carlyle Group putting $500M into the company.
Glosster··on Iota cryptocurrency shuts down entire network after wallet hack
You must understand that people holding IOTA after the last network halt (which was ~45 days ago), aren't very bright.

I didn't expect to see so many integrations. Cool idea!
Glosster··on Wuhan Coronavirus API
How did I not know about pipedream workflows until now...

Glosster··on The Firefox Browser is a privacy nightmare on desktop and mobile
Not cool Firefox! That's the kind of thing I would expect to read about Chrome.
Glosster··on Free Audio Books: Download Great Books for Free
How do we know they're great? There's no review section like on Audible or Librivox.
Glosster··on What do you think of NANO, the cryptocurrency?
Here's a good article explaining why centralization is unlikely to happen in NANO: https://medium.com/@clemahieu/emergent-centralization-due-to...
Glosster··on Taking down 1.6 lakh bots disrupting Twitter trends
Just a test comment to see if it shows up, because this shitty website seems to be shadowing me (and probably thousands of other users, w/o their knowledge; they're just posting comments and they don't show up).
Glosster··on PayPal blocks donations to The Grayzone that mention Iran
Maybe a solution would be for people to use cryptocurrency for donations.
Glosster··on Show HN: Pine – A Bitcoin wallet with a messenger-like UI
It would be cool to have this for Ethereum as well...

What's the chance that in the future, for payments, they will start using mainly a cryptocurrency, or a stablecoin, instead of USD?
Glosster··on Immortal Game
Who else thinks that Chess is too simple and too boring compared to other strategy games that we have now? Starcraft 2, Agricola, Twilight Struggle, Through The Ages, etc.
Glosster··on The Ecosystem Is Moving [video]
Then that's a problem with us using a centralized system (Google) for emails, right? So email is not really decentralized.
