Good luck catching a layover if you are Jewish or have an Israeli stamp on your passport. Last time I checked the staff of Saudi destined airlines wouldn't even let "undesirables" on an incoming flight...

I have been curious about using computer vision to bulk scan and identify valuable coins. Have systems like this been put into use already? If not do you think they might dilute the value of "rare" coins by creating many more "finds" then were typically possible without the technology?

Remember when Google was cool and not evil and released their book scanner project for free? https://code.google.com/archive/p/linear-book-scanner/

  "Google hereby grants to you a perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable (except as stated in this section) patent license to make, have made, use, offer to sell, sell, import, transfer, and otherwise run, modify and propagate this design..."

Also Rudy Kurniawan who sold counterfeit wine and was convicted about 10 years ago. A quick search turned up this article... didnt read it. https://thehustle.co/the-man-who-sold-millions-in-counterfei...

Lots of online data on how Amazon's revenue is in line with the GDP of the top 10-15 countries on the planet. This boggles my mind. When I see projects such as this my mind immediately references all the dystopian fiction stories I've seen and read where tyrannical corporations control everything.

Same. Begged my dad for a NES. Got C64 instead "because its better, you will see..." Changed my life.

+1 here. I would love to see this working on Firefox (Fennec) Android so I can sync to my desktop Chrome...

I always appreciated "This is the procedure." Great syntax to signify the endpoint of the algo... :)

I remember reading during this era that Bill Gates' daily driver was a Dec Alpha workstation running NT... Don't remember the source.

what's handy guide to disable it all?

Sounds like a great premise for a hard sci-fi novel. let me know when you have a draft, I'll read it!

Sorry to be so naive.. who is TFA?

I love to see one of these come with the ability to fit into a gang box on the wall... to use in a place where one would usually have light switches, etc.

what's available by search engine query is everything that was thought of until now. there's always something new and different...

I'm approaching your threshold of "I started accumulating so many of them, it got to be a problem just remembering all the ones I had and how to trigger them"

Can you share a repo with your "custom right-click menus and Emacs-style keychords" to save me some time?

Love hacker news!

How cool would it be to bundle WordPress as a single PHAR file with one SQLite db file to go with it in the same directory?

Would love to see some benchmarks listed for each CPU as well. so I can filter by functions and then compare performance.

Another useful data point would be OS support and availability - official and/or community versions, last release date, number of releases, etc.

As everyone keeps saying, this project looks and feels amazing. A beautiful foundational tool to build a project around.

Except...

I'm scared when I think about VC money here. One day someone is going to want a return on that investment and not sure how that will play out.

Imagine if ncurses decide to charge a license fee out of the blue...

Or perhaps more likely in this scenario, one day the framework stops getting updated, then gets rebranded as the community edition, and no longer receives important and/or timely updates.

I'm all for developers making an excellent living, just need to know my own risk factors when investing in tooling and frameworks, etc. It's hard to know here what the future will bring.

Then again, there is no really compelling alternative to this most awesome creation!

As a long time ZeroTier user I want to point out that they have some interesting DNS solutions as well.[1]

(Personally, have not felt the need to change something that has a great free tier, self hosting controllers, etc, and has been working reliably for years... Tailscale looks cool though)

Choose your own adventure. You begin your new pie in the sky project on the shiny new Google Workstation. One day the big G in the sky:

A) suddenly suspends your workstation without notice and no recourse or contact for tech support. after giving up all hope, ignore this account and then eventually go to (B) or (C)

B) Cancels the entire Workstation product

C) Loses interest in Workstation and leaves it to slowly die with a minimum life support and no bug fixes or updates for years and then... Go to (B)

I'm curious as to why you think a single name field is better than the traditional separate first and last?

Here is an interesting review of the product:

So what reputable and fresh sources exist outside of these 90%?

Perhaps this was a Quash-then-Hire and while Vanced is gone the developers are now Googlers with some NDA agreement...

Wow, wish there was a Debian version!. I miss JeOS!

Looks like a great start. Would love to see more examples and or live demos of applications already built to get a feel for the final product.

I'm curious how this compares to AppGyver (https://www.appgyver.com) which was recently acquired by SAP. (I am not affiliated).

From the FAQ:

"The beta will launch in Hong Kong, South Korea, and Taiwan. Anyone in these regions will be able to sign up for the waitlist, but we will extend invitations on a rolling basis. Those who receive an invite and meet the minimum PC requirements will be able to participate."

Two interesting notes that I found here:

1) This also utilizes a VM for the Android system, like the Linux one.

2) "Unlike traditional mobile form factors, Android apps running on Windows 11 can be freely resized, should be responsive in their resizing, and can be snapped using Windows actions/gestures."

I don't think this transition has been very well received by the WordPress community...

I have always felt that Steve Jobs and Thomas Edison are two sides of one coin... it seems that both of their successes are related to the mix of a driving vision, controversial management style and relentless push for innovation. Different eras, similar results...
