Agree, really thankful for those

Love it, you’ve got to do 132nd street next. Trying to exit south bound during rush hour is delightful

I always think as an individual I would like this. But at scale I worry it would incentivize each department to advertise themselves to the public, which seems to me like a waste of funds. I already dislike the reelection cycle (politicians incentivized to always be fundraising) and would hate to see that happen per department.

(1) playing with godot and building a Polynesian sailing rpg where you navigate waters by reading waves

(2) setting up MCP servers for Spotify and Substack that can pull what I’ve recently read / listened to. I want to try pulling transcripts and guest information to build myself a recommendation/follow system

(3) raising the sweetest little 5mo old

Interesting, where would you suggest someone starts if they’ve never seen that side of the sport?

Direct Air Capture is slow, but I think is a better solution than the "don't cut down trees" offset that we've historically seen. I hope that continued investment in DAC leads to new solutions to make it more effective.

I thought the StarWars telnet went offline? :/

I had to do similar things while in Canada. Trying to get HBO was impossible for someone living in a dorm.

Facebook and Twitter do not have the violent posts solved by any measure. But at the very least they make the gestures and put money towards trying to fix it.

Parler has been vocal that they have no plans solving it. If they had at least showed some vague plan to resolve it, they would have earned some sympathy.

(In US) I agree that business owners should never refuse people based on political opinions. I would be firmly against AWS/Google not willing to work with a company because it has conservative views.

In Parler's case, the issue isn't that they are conservative. The issue is that they refuse to take any responsibility for the hate and violence on their platform. John Matze had every opportunity to take responsibility for the content, but he was vocal that he would not do anything about it.

If I were running a cloud provider company, I wouldn't want anything to do with this behavior either. Who cares whether the users lean right or left - hate and violence are unacceptable.

Sounds interesting, but could you explain to me why I should use this over something like Azure KeyVault?

Those are very small sample sizes to make any assumptions from. 11 clicks for their test, and only 256 clicks for the larger referenced test. The larger test then makes a huge assumption in user behavior:

"So, arguably, a user who sees this ad and clicks legitimately on it will be looking to get a demo of the analytics tool we were marketing"

Uh, no. Just because the ad brought them to your site, doesn't mean the user wants to interact with your video. You got them there, you have to work to keep them.

Sure the tech isn't great, but you've made a really great community with great content. You shouldn't be ashamed of choices at all - tech doesn't have to be perfect to deliver on its goals.

I also have one I submitted over the weekend. They haven't taken it down yet :). Mine is just geared towards my dislike of the favicons, not distinguishing the styling of the ads.

Shh, they might find us.

Also, why are some red & grey? Looks like it turns red at 50%.

That's what I was thinking as well. I refreshed the page repeatedly and saw the percentage fluctuate as the score only went up.

Not exactly a foolproof test though. I think you're probably still right.

Ah, okay. Hadn't thought of that, thanks.

I find it odd how it seems to be marketed to the general consumer, who usually won't need the high specs. What is the average person going to use USB on the router for?

I have a $200+ router myself, but would feel too restricted with the OnHub's single LAN port.

Still very interesting. Just wondering why the high price point and (imo) over the top specs.

The Linksys: http://www.linksys.com/us/p/P-WRT1900AC/

Agreed, the specs between the WRT1900AC and the OnHub are strikingly similar. Even the advertised smart features.

It could be just because we're coming from Android, but my friend and I experienced an approachability problem with the iPad about a month ago.

I was using an iPad on a flight (the in-flight entertainment was broken) and it took us, both computer engineers, a good ten minutes to figure out how to turn down the brightness. It was a painful experience trying to find the settings - swipe down? No.. swipe other directions, nope.

It took us forever to discover that 'settings' is just an app on the tablet.

Maybe it was just because we are part of the Android ecosystem, but using one didn't seem very logical.

Note: Neither of us specifically avoid Apple products, but just found them way too expensive with university for purchase.

Maybe they want to check what data was scraped?

This one is actually legitimate. Saw it on HN a while ago, really funny:

Clearly has never used Amazon Canada.

But in all seriousness, a great article. It's interesting to see how the different web markets overlap so easily.

I have a good phone and a great laptop. I can't really justify buying one. I have some friends that plan on buying them, so at least I have the chance to try them out.

I really like how all the trending keywords are words you'd typically see in spam mail.

Is there any word on if facebook will be including advertisements in this at all? It looks very sleek, but having ads come up would be a huge deterant.
