fudgy73··on The Road Ahead
Happy for this guy. It's almost like his 17 year old is going off to a college designed just for him. Got to be a good feeling.

Being a week younger than Anand, and brown, and a tech head since around the same age has been great (for me). We both made our first Geocities site around the same time, although mine was dedicated to the Chicago Bulls and filled with animated gifs. Does anyone else feel strange kinship to other members of their (00) high school class? Britney is looking good right?

We've really entered into a review economy these days; it's almost like no one spends time or money on anything without reading a review of it first. Anand's "reviews" have always been so thorough that even though something's rating may be high, he might tell us why the product might not be the right one for us. It's a great life lesson; the best _______ may not be the best _______ for YOU.

Thanks, Anand. Wish you all the best!

fudgy73··on Shortwave: iBeacon-powered messaging
Isn't "shortwave" radio used for extremely long distance communication?
fudgy73··on Doge2048
I'm a 31yr old with a decade younger sister who introduced me to doge and I'm embarrassed to say that I did better in this version than in the ones with numbers. Much sadness
fudgy73··on Google to Acquire Nest
$3.2 BILLION?! Was Nest Labs making a profit? Seemed to me like they made cool devices that no one bought.
fudgy73··on FlameStower - USB charger powered by fire
This, to me, isn't very novel. Why can't you just wait for the sun to come up and carry a 140g solar panel? I suppose this may be useful in a very rare emergency situation, but otherwise, nahhh.

$ don't lie, though, and it looks like they have almost reached their goal.

fudgy73··on Don't Fly During Ramadan
Terrorism (by Muslims) doesn't increase around Ramadan. Ramadan is the worst time for extremists to do anything. Ramadan for Muslims is a time of spirituality, being with family, and discipline. While that may not be across the board, being thirsty and hungry makes all activity more difficult, and that applies to all - especially during the 17+ hour fasts while Ramadan is in the summer.

Makes me sad about what happened to the author, but Ramadan has very little (if anything) to do with it.

fudgy73··on Rosetta Stone rallys to support one of theirs
Rosetta Stone employs hundreds of Coaches that teach several different languages to learners around the world. I am an English Coach. A few days ago a fellow Coach, Andrea Crew, was allegedly killed.

The Coaches and the company have been very supportive for her two young daughters so far. Really great to see.

fudgy73··on Show HN: We built a voice to music AI app in 54 hours at a hackathon
Thought this was pretty neat. I'd pay a buck for it and I don't really even listen to music.

You should get to a level to where an average beatboxer can input and this thing spits out something sweet. Game-ify it by having people try to match something onscreen with their mouths or do something a la "draw something" except I input the beat and you guess what song it is or vice versa. Fun!
