daniellarusso··on Americans Are Keeping Their Cars Longer, as Vehicle Age Hits 12 Years
What year was the vehicle that did not have anti-lock brakes?

I think it was not mandated into US law until about a decade ago, but some OEMs have offered it since 1987, like Mercedes Benz

I have always had a bizarre fascination with refrigeration engineering.

It is amazing all the things this has enabled for humanity.

What age were you introduced to Python?

Explaining what range() does to elementary age children seems interesting.

Spoiler alert - This is the plot to ‘The Prestige’.
daniellarusso··on Ask HN: Handling customers that want feature previewing?
From your description, yes, you would basically have forks of your codebase for each customer and deploy that to a sandboxed staging server.

That would be used for acceptance testing.

Bonus points for having up-to-date data in the staging DB.

I assume this is a multi-tenant implementation.

The other option is to charge the customer to disable unwanted features, in addition to enhanced features.

If it is multi—tenant, having the ability to ‘feature-gate’ could be worth the effort, if you can charge for enabling AND disabling features.

Which, ironically, most municipalities incentivize the opposite.

The more you use, the less it costs.

Florida sometimes promotes xeriscaping.

My step-father did have a well installed for the lone purpose of maintaining the lawn.

It is also a backup supply if the municipal system becomes unavailable.

Also, I do find it odd to water plants with water treated with chlorine and fluoride.

I also use tmux as part of my deploy process. ;)
daniellarusso··on Tips for Interviewing over Zoom
I think you can do this in OBS with the virtual cam driver.

You would just expand the camera input and crop and position it as a ‘scene’.

daniellarusso··on America has a drinking problem
That is technically correct if you were to consume abnormal amounts of either substance.

I have read of people dying from consuming too much water.

I have not read that of cannabis.

Product adjacent. Nice effort from the degen devs, though.

There are some aspects of their implementation I had not considered, but being desktop only, it is a different product, in my opinion.

That proved the market exists. The US alone could create trillions of dollars of NFT value in hours.

So, I have been working on a very stupid idea for some time now, that actually started as a social fart sharing app, record your farts, etc.

Then, I needed a way to make sure people were actually sharing farts, and not other noises (like burps or dog barks).

So, ML to the rescue. Train on a corpus of real fart audio and other sounds.

But then, I needed to make sure the farts were not copies or derivative works.

So, audio fingerprinting.

Then, I figured why not throw in blockchain (does not need to be distributed to be able to use the buzzword), to ensure the verified, original farts could not be tampered with.

Now, I believe I have a way for anybody to create unique content that can be ‘converted’ into an NFT.

Investors?

Possibly you!

Look at sneakers on stockx.com.

That is an $80k shoe currently.

If you can get somebody to buy it, that is what it is worth.

daniellarusso··on Peloton to invest $400M to build its first U.S. manufacturing facility in Ohio
That is a very interesting strategy.

It makes sense, and also having enough diversity of locations to avoid infrastructure outages.

Very clever.

Not the same thing, but this works surprisingly well:

I was talking to a colleague about TIA, and he was not familiar.

Not sure if this was the inspiration for ‘Person of Interest’ tv series.
