Are you saying that you don't want to deal with Purchase Orders?

Is that because you don't want to provide a product in advance of payment or just the overhead of creation/tracking?

I like how this looks but I have a feature suggestion....

Could you crowd-source categories/tags for the stories and then try and implement an opt-in / opt-out function that lets us exclude certain categories. I'm not even sure if it's possible but you're some of the way there.

Do the definitions of these two overlap? Apart from having music and images?

My kids would go crazy if I got a job for these guys :-D

Can you please provide a reference to the regulators coming after an engineer in the UK.

Also you say regulations in the UK have been changed recently.

I'm not aware of regulations that apply to software engineers.

I think your last sentence is correct. I think author is saying that you can't make it work and THEN make it right with payment systems.

This is my opinion as well and I've been involved in the audit of a fintech system where auditors had to download EVERYTHING into excel spreadsheets and make the numbers balance before they would sign off on the books. That took a lot of time and money I'm guessing made a difference of at least .1 unicorns in the liquidity even that took place 3 years later.

I was going to say the same. There is a chance that they sailed to the location.

However a 6 hour flight from the closest major city would have given off 1500 kg of CO2 (per passenger). And presumably another 1500kg to get back again.

I was going to say that I was disappointed that the page didn't show the formula for the probability and show how it changes as you change the number of people in the room.

Then I checked the wiki page and understood that some of the maths is actually quite fiendish (for non mathematicians anyway) - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Birthday_problem

Do you have any paying customers?

The premium plan has a quota of approx. 4 tickets per day which feels quite low for a tool used by a company. What happens when someone submits a ticket but the plan has used up the quota? Does it just get deleted?

What do people think about the Copyright notices on the images? Can someone with knowledge of Irish law comment on how something so old can still be considered copyright? Is there separate rules for images of art in galleries?

Dromberg looks great and Stonehenge is definitely far too crowded with tourists[0] but with respect to age Dromberg is considered to be 3000 years old [1] versus Stone henge being 5000 years old [2]

I will resist the temptation to joke about time travelling aliens

0 - Why do the tourists have so many Disney shirts, hats, and backpacks???

Way better press release with lots of cool pictures: https://newscenter.lbl.gov/2024/08/26/lz-experiment-sets-new...

Agreed. And having the link at the bottom as https://archive.is/XYABC without information about the link to also a questionable choice.

There's a line between "consumerism" and living a good life. I believe that many people in HN think that well made construction kits with parts that last for decades like Lego are part of having a good life rather than simply 'mass-martketed mass-producted plastic'.

Some kind of high tech squirrel protection like mesh?

I think you could watch some of the youtube videos the Professor Shawn Willsey has posted about the Icelandic volcanic activity over the last 6 months. As well as lots of cool stuff about the actual volcanoes and lava floes there is a lot of information about the magma chamber underneath the peninsula that is filling up and raising the land in a very measurable way. That's over a time scale of months. I think you'll see it's very plausible that over decades and centuries the level of land can change dramatically with respect to a the local 'base' level.

In your build guide you write:

"Assembly Instructions - how to build a Blossom. In our experience, this takes about 2-3 hours for first-timers once you have all the parts cut and printed."

This is just my opinion but I feel it would be clearer if you wrote something like:

For a first-timer who can crochet or knit it might take: 1. 1-2 hours to cut the wooden parts

2. 1 hour to print the 3D parts

3. 2-3 hours to assemble the 'skeleton' of the robot

4. 4 hours to knit the skin for your blossom.

I'm embarrassed to admit that I clicked into the comments looking for that, uh, quote.

It's a probability game isn't it. There's a chance of that super super bug given normal antibiotics. But also chances are that any super super bug is going to have a downside that stops it spreading unhindered through other hosts or something like that.

There's always the possibility of a microbe/prion/other that can attack and consume all DNA based life forms. Or a 'nearby' gamma ray burst that sterilises everything within 200 light years.

I agree with you. I think the only solution is for politicians to stop being soft on crime by funding police, prosecutors, courts, prisons, and rehabilitation services (rehab for both criminals and addicts). In addition the various tax authorities need to be empowered and funded to investigate tax fraud of all kinds and if caught then people need to be sent to prison rather than allowed to buy their way out of a sentence.

The Tax Solution page doesn't make it clear as to whether it handles US State Sales Tax problems?

What headaches are they? Do you have any references of people having problems?

Boring tech stack!

You are working from an incorrect assumption about your choices.

* Doing nothing is unjust.

* Providing material aid and luxuries to the slave holders/cannibals is unjust.

* Using your presumably superior force to stop murder is not unjust.

And who would you give the aid to?

Sometimes nation states might disagree on what should be done in certain circumstances. An example of this is 39 years ago on this day the French government blew up a civilian boat in New Zealand [0]. Crazy but true. Having independent capabilities is part of being a sovereign rather than vassal state.
