This app looks great! Only thing I can't find is snow / rain accumulation, which is extremely important when living in the mountains.

I just got another 4k odd hits with "remove in production" [1]. I think that with enough variation, you can get a lot of hits.

Nothing against you, but why are link shorteners still allowed on HN? I feel like they are an easy attack vector for malware, and don't make life any easier for us as readers - in fact, they make it significantly harder because I have no idea what I'm clicking.

My coworkers and I were talking about additional ways to mess with people with cloning RFID chips. I think my favorite is cloning your access badge to work onto another RFID and putting it under a bandaid on your palm. Then, you can convince everyone that the RFID readers are actually fingerprint readers too.

I've always thought that something like this would be very effective for renting "space" rather than it necessarily being a full bedroom. The company could let the apartment/house owner rent fold-able cots or something to utilize, say, a living room as a sleeping space. There would be basic check boxes like access to a shower, a kitchen, etc., but it is more of a free-form lodging rather than renting a room.

It's reporting a 500 server error - does anyone have a mirror/archive?

Although I'm extremely skeptical of the claims, there are theories that TKAMB was actually written by Capote. Interesting to read the evidence, but definitely on the less probable side of things.

The natural extension of that argument always reminds me of this: https://xkcd.com/810/

At least for doctors, I would think that the average annual income is somewhere around $300,000-400,000 (and that may be too high). This group would, all-in, be taxed somewhere between 50-60% including medicare, Social Security, etc., no where near the 73% imposed on any dollar made past $10,000,000. There may be a handful of doctors in the world pushing the $10,000,000 barrier. I assume that the landscape is similar for lawyers and managers, and that people tend to focus on those making huge money to generalize the whole field.

So a Pittsburgher with a passion for rust? Color me surprised.

I'm fresh out of college, and I'm curious if this would stand up with people that are my age and close-ish to my demographic. From my experience, I think our cultural experience is the file-sharing or "Netflix" generation. My friends and I all have deep connections to characters from 80s, 90s, 00s and 10s entertainment, because we have been able to access it all. I am definitely going to reference Flash Gordon, Mal Reynolds and Patrick Star in a poll of fictitious characters.

I don't know, it's just something that I'm curious about. I would love to take your test (although I am already primed by seeing the OP's list).

I can see that being an issue. I'm in the same habit with LOTR, ASOIAF and Harry Potter, reading each series once every two years or so, and it crushes my ability to read a lot of new books. I've avoided rereading Discworld so far because I know that it will never be as magical as the first read through.

But oh god, Baroque Cycle was unparalleled from a character-building perspective. I loved every second of it.

Just started Seveneves (still in part one), and, as usual, I am blown away by Stephenson's world-building and character development. I freaking love his stuff.

The Baroque Cycle - Neal Stephenson - It was 3000+ pages all told, and I LOVED it. His writing has always enthralled me, and I was hooked from the start

Every Discworld Novel - Terry Pratchett - Not much can be said that hasn't already been said a million times over. If you haven't read them yet, start now

The Theory of Poker - David Sklansky - Helped out my poker game tremendously. I'm much more ev+ now

I don't know if this is kosher or not on HN (still relatively new to posting here), but what is your startup? I think that would be a space I am interested in and would love to learn more.

I've worked as a server and I thought this was going to focus on POS systems and how horribly they are (often) implemented. Talk about a design nightmare, with at least 5 clicks to put in one person's order (x2-4 for a typical table). And items were almost always in a random configuration with little reasoning for placement of, for instance, extra mayonnaise versus no lettuce. I'm not sure if the new mobile POS systems are any better, but I will never forget how bad restaurant POSs are when designing UIs.

Interestingly, if you see a nurse practitioner in-office while a physician is not present in the office (I don't think they need to stop in), insurance companies (maybe only Medicare, can't remember) only have to pay 85% of the bill charged by the doctor's office.
