Ive been a paying customer (off their Sync feature, the rest is free) for more than one year. I love this software and use it everyday. Congrats and keep up the great work :)

Along with Nim's fantastic movie on Netflix, Id recommend this youtube video for a sense of what its like to climb K2: https://youtu.be/l-dMVvvIt8M One of my favorites after watching ALOT of this stuff during Covid at home time, shows the beauty, the danger, and the actual climbing really well. And all the while watching these, remember to ask yourself "who put those ropes there and how?"

Echoing @brickbrd this was new to me too, thanks for explaining.

I have thought a bit about this myself (although others here seem to know a lot more) so Ill give my 2 cents: - it already works w/o P2P, Youtube has worked pretty well for 15+ years as client-server. If you have Google scale, it wouldn't make sense not to use it - Installing software is a harder onboarding than opening a website (I think you'd need more than a browser for this?) - security implications of P2P? - the biggest one for me: Ignoring internet technology concerns, its an extremely hard distributed systems problem with Byzantine concerns, nodes coming and going at any time, where to store unpopular videos?

I hadn't even thought about the telemetry concerns (how do you sell ads efficiently?).

What about Youtube? Im surprised to not see them mentioned in any of the comments under yours. For all their faults, I regularly am recommended amazing(ly interesting to me) videos.

Yes, every example is "I sounded stupid but I was actually correct". From the title I thought the article was going to be about not being afraid to learn new things.

>Even so, given the high degree of Delta variant contagiousness, a combination of vaccination and acquired immunity should drive down pandemic measures substantially by November.

I didnt find this distasteful.

but how will I make principal if we dont build our own in-house NoSQL database? :)

Wow I was unaware of that.

Its been a very long time since reading or watching something has made my blood boil like it is right now.

That is low quality comparison.

Whether or not you agree with the high goals of the (US?) military; for a great many people it is a solid career, a role model they never had, and possibly a stepping stone out of an awful life. Also a very small percentage of these are actually fighting in infantry risking their lives.

This is much different than saying "Ooh youre 18 now, look how much money these 3 people make selling their naked videos! And there is absolutely no consequence at all to this, for you or your society!"

>well if you are foolish enough to pay markup on items that you could order yourself directly from AliExpress that's your own problem.

if you are foolish enough to not spend lots of time on entrepreneurship/startup blogs to know all about drop shipping then shame on you dummy!

I can confirm that starting in a mega corp during Covid wfh was (and continues to be) awful.

Ya I closed the app and removed the Accessibility permission at this step. I don't need this app to "connect with my coworkers"

That would be extremely cool for many niche interests and hobbies.

I think it would be a lot of work for book store owners however because along with taking pictures they would also need to fill in some metadata as well about the book to make any kind of searching/categorizing possible. Maybe an intrepid entrepreneur could start with a few bookstores and do that categorization for them as a "do things that don't scale" experiment.

>But you could have the same amount of (indoor) space they did, and outdoor space through public parks and the like.

Ahh, the future is bright.

Poolside FM is my favorite radio app but this is beautiful!

Would you be willing to describe more about how you engage with this service? I like the service but haven't found many opportunities to use it.

Did you move the "specialty community chats" over from another site like Reddit? Do you talk with people you know IRL on it? Mainly just wondering how you built out a social network for yourself on Telegram.

just wondering thanks!

the opening a tab in safari one gets me pretty often too. On both m1 and intel machine. Very strange!

I agree with your assessment, I think the author kind of "took the low road" when there is more than enough content for a convincing article wrapped up in this part:

"Over time, and often as soon as the first year of employment, “computer scientists” tend to move towards more fulfilling and well-compensated work, whether that’s well-funded open-source projects, technical leadership, or mission-critical commercial systems."

I am certainly on the Apple side of this spat but Stratechery wrote a rather compelling pro-Facebook article about this: https://stratechery.com/2020/privacy-labels-and-lookalike-au...

The gist of the argument being that, regardless of what you think about Facebook, hyper-targeted "lookalike audience" models to target ads against actually do level the playing field for small businesses who do not the resources to produce large scale ad campaigns. Highly recommended reading.

Google is in a much less exposed position because they are the default search engine on iOS devices (a privilege they pay alot of $ for).

I have had manageable but painful wrist pain in both wrists for about 2 years, and I worry about the long term because Im only 26 now. I had never thought of this as an avenue to explore even though Ive had good results in the past from pt for a weightlifting injury. Thanks!!

Great article, you have convinced me to give Scala another try :D The first time around made me feel very, very stupid.

To the people who didn't grow up with 4chan: do not search for this image, its pretty disgusting.

Ladies and gentleman, we got him.

I believe this to be the right answer.

Ive been around this discussion a lot and everyone seems to want to blame the whole phenomenon on some chemical or another, "xenoestrogens" are thrown around a lot. Yes, there are more unnatural chemical compounds entering our bodies than in the past (also important to examine) but addressing the terribly unhealthy lives most of us lead is obviously the first step.

FYI the clip they use as an example contains a significant spoiler for season 2.

I know the show was on nearly 20 years ago but I only watched it 2 months ago for the first time :)

lol from my experience reading comments here most of HN thinks all drugs should be legal!

Thanks I was wondering about what hardware stadia is running the game on and if they would have the same console issues. Im planning to buy stadia for this game.

wouldn't the roots of the trees eventually destroy your wall if they are planted that close?
