agentdax5on The AirPods Effect

There’s this thing called wind that makes noise and also other vehicles on the road as well. Did you ever consider that?

agentdax5on is-even-ai – Check if a number is even using the power of AI

I’m waiting for them to add the isEvenSteven() method. Then I can integrate this with my escrow smart contract.

agentdax5on Show HN: TodoBot is an AI coach that helps you write a better todo list

This is wonderful. I’d love to see this integrated into Jira and my own personal project manager (OmniFocus). Even if I could import and export TaskPaper that would be super handy.

agentdax5on Google Chromium, sans integration with Google

> I see nothing similar with the gaming platforms.

How can you say that? I can’t run home brew games on an Xbox due to intentional locking down of the device by Microsoft forcing me to buy games they bless to be on their platform.

But some how these companies get a pass but Apple gets constantly blasted for this practice?

For the record, you should be able to do these things. But that is somewhat of a naive view of the world.

agentdax5on US Announces Withdraw from Postal Treaty; International Shipping Prices to Rise

The referenced articles seem to only focus on the US-China relationship. What about the impact it will have between the US and the rest of the world? Will other countries be less apt to purchase US goods from abroad?

I don’t think it is very fair the Chinese can ship very cheaply to the rest of the world but this seems like a heavy handed approach.

agentdax5on Ask HN: Cheap places to live with a good intellectual atmosphere?

Care to elaborate? I would love to see some real plans to change my mindset on where the U.S. is heading.

This is probably considered off, so message me

agentdax5on Tiddlywiki – A non-linear personal web notebook

I looked into Tiddlywiki before but it seemed too involved to maintain easily and overkill for my use case. I have recently found https://www.notebooksapp.com/ and am in the process of converting all my desperate notes and documents into it using the internal linking to create my own kind of wiki.

Everything is plain text, has markdown support, apps on most platforms, ability to automate things for everyday use, and easier to use overall.

Also I just can’t stand the idea of “tiddlers”.

agentdax5on There's No 'Safe' Level of Alcohol Consumption, Global Study Finds

What does that have to do with the fact that driving is an activity that carries the risk of death? Necessity is not part of the discussion.

agentdax5on Florida man jailed for failing to unlock his phone

How could they prove intent? Fudge the code twice then the third time wipe it and play dumb.

agentdax5on Slack client for Commodore 64 (2016)

I certainly care. Is this open source, how can I help?
