I mean with those numbers, some napkin math: if even 50% of that travel was captured by a rail system with maybe $100-150 tickets, seems like it might pay itself off after a few decades. Sounds like a worthy investment, while providing jobs.

I've been seeing a lot of calls about this incoming downturn (especially HN), does anyone have any articles/analysis they can point me to? Would love to read up on the state of it.

I've noticed this disparity within my friend circles. The objectively attractive men match/sleep with multiple woman a month where almost all of the men with near average looks get approximately zero matches. Interesting indeed. My female friends match with almost every male regardless.

It states it depends on bandwidth, sometimes 720 is served. I certainly receive 720p in aus.

The Netflix issue isn't really DRM, it's just a way to minimize bandwidth[1]; they found HQ 720 encodes to be sufficient quality for most consumers. I personally find it lacking.

Oh wow, Australian ISPs have blocked voat/4chan/8chan

I don't know about others, but I would rather Instagram stay separate to facebook. I know it's only messaging, but it's a step in that direction.

1-2 hours of moderately intense exercise

Has anyone managed to break out of this? I've tried increasing exercise, waking up with sunlight; nothing works

Are there any databases that can link fingerprints to identities? Could there be companies legally using them?

Similar, but solid and with some kind of taste

Can't wait until someone creates healthy, long shelf life food that is cheap, and tastes OK. Would be a game changer.

What would the risk analysis look like for sovereign debt?

Ha! The wedding was just around the corner from where I live. It's a small world, love seeing Australians on HN :)

Well I don't think they did anything new/novel. Snapchat succeeded because the concept of _just_ sending dumb photos/videos to close friends didn't exist.

Adding friends to circles was also too much work for the user I think. On top of all that, it just wasn't very "cool" or fun

What I am hoping for, based on what I would like to exist:

Something more genuine; think older fb (writing on people's walls), snapchat. Facebook/Insta in 2018 is basically a social linkedin - used to showcase yourself as a person. Most people check Insta as a filter for dates.

I think the new generation of social media should focus on smaller groups of friends (5-30), but it should be possible to publish to wider groups. Sounds like google+ circles, but I think snapchat was closer. Short, real snippets from peoples lives.

What tool for you use for the daily task logging? Or just good old paper?

If an individual prefers a style of learning - wouldn't that enable them to enjoy learning for longer periods of time and deeper? Maybe not more efficiently but overall definitely has an impact.

This is fantastic, and going to be very underrated by HN. The visualisation is extremely useful.

What was the tech stack? Did you use a graph db? I've built my own in neo4j for about 500M data points, but would love to know what you used.

Surely there are other variables - increased renting prices caused workers to move further away from work; cycling would no longer be viable?

I imagine you have no regrets?

"replacement stem cell populations" You expect us to be able to revert the ageing process through stem cells? Any stem cells or specifically those of the host? How far off do you estimate (order of magnitude - 10/100/500 years?)

Can you open source this? Sounds helpful

which shoes?

Do you have a video of this?

Well you fought the good fight. Thanks for trying! I sincerely hope someone brings down Da Beers

What went wrong?

My point was more towards benwilber0's comment; not a lot of usage in code I've seen.
