d-lowl··on Show HN: Buslens – where can I get to by bus? (UK)
Some of things it shows for Manchester are not buses (i.e. metrolink). Where does the data come from? Edit: also Flixbus or National Express are arguably not a bus services either
d-lowl··on Teen hackers who live streamed cyber-attack on TfL jailed
>Jubair and Flowers who both have autism, gained access to the data by tricking a phone help desk worker.

What does this have to do with anything in this article.

d-lowl··on AI Product Graveyard
Langfuse, W&B, streamlit and reclaim are far from dead. This list doesn't make much sense
d-lowl··on Show HN: Rip.so – a graveyard for dead internet things
Not only I guess. I remember buying a minidisk instead of miniCD __by accident__ in the '00s in Russia. That was literally the only time I saw one in person.
d-lowl··on Show HN: Geo Racers – Race from London to Tokyo on a single bus pass
Really fun.

Some timetables are very wrong unfortunately. e.g. there was no ferry from Plymouth to Santander at all (which I relied on). It'd be good to be able to see the timetables before I get to the station (otherwise, it's hard to plan)

d-lowl··on Show HN: New Ensō – first public beta
Although, I don't think that Enso as a whole will work for me (I have a very different approach to writting); I love the idea of the coffee shop mode. Want to implement something like this for Obsidian now.
d-lowl··on “It’s time for Apple to fix texting”
Yes. As for some other mobile OSs I'm not required to comply with whatever is on their official store, and can just install an app from a different source.
d-lowl··on University of Leicester firing all pure math faculty
> foreign students (who they can charge more)

The amount of money the uni gets is the same. Overseas pay the full price, domestic students are subsidised and only pay £9k, but the uni gets it in full anyway. And, no, they still take overseas students (with remote studies it's not more difficult, than domestic ones). Imperial's Chem department even filled more places for 1st year than usual.
