I thought Uber already did this with surge pricing? Or does it not take supply into account, only demand? Or is the extra money not going to the drivers?
I scanned through the site and their first post was in 2015 and has news articles posted about the company with titles like: "The Community Labs Built on Silicon Valley’s Junk: Trash from biotech startups are citizen scientists’ treasure" and "The Rogue Experimenters". Also, lots of posts about wanting interns. This doesn't give me a good feeling.
I remember reading an article about the US military using a PS3 supercomputer cluster for something, but it was so long ago I don't remember where or if it was a puff piece or something actually significant.
Kind of makes you realize how small Vermont is. I just checked and the city of San Francisco alone has about 300k more residents than the entire state of Vermont; 900k to 600k.
I don't think it's pedantic though. If what makes your argument powerful is tying it back to a natural phenomenon, then it should be right, otherwise you're using a bad example.
I have problems building habits going out of deep work. It's like the problem is less getting dumped from my mind and more slowly filtering out, and since my mind is still occupied, I'll move on reflex and perpetually forget to flip the switch.
I've thought about this before. Maybe randomize reactions within a range, or apply some kind of focused perception filter with a delay to mimic the focus and processing of the human eye.
Blog comments are mentioning the fact that one of the choppers had to refuel, maybe a testament to how energetic the chase was, but maybe it was already low at that point. That, and the fact that there is an AFB there points to a military drone.
As an unpopular HN opinion, I love red meat, so this would be very inconvenient for me. Although, synthetic beef products are out there so I guess there's that option. Just wish they had more weightiness and texture.
I'm seeing it in the sense of gambling: I buy when I think it's going to go up, you sell because you think it's going to go down (stocks), but people don't think, they just get excited, bubble happens, then we get a small minority winning big and the majority losing.
I think OP's comment feels pretty valid, especially in an in-person event like burning man. There is a divide between participant and passive viewer. As a participant you give, and as a passive viewer you take, which can feel like an unfair arrangement, and there is a big difference between "being present" and "being fully present" which is a level of commitment burning man wants for the festival-goers.
While there's nothing wrong with lurking (I think we all mostly lurk in low commitment subjects and are active in a much smaller amount of things that really interest us), it presents a fairness of effort and commitment to require participation from everyone.
I think low code tools have come a long way. I also think the problem with low code tools is the specific problematic edge cases or implementation cases that make it hard to do without the more robust capabilities of actual code. That, and the baseline that if you can produce a low code program, you can code, for which the barrier of difficulty is constantly lowering anyway with more and more robust libraries and tools.
I've never been to the 'Nordic' parts of the world, and the closest I have come to actual Winter weather is vacationing in some local mountain ranges that get snow. I have been suggested to see the Northern Lights, and it's definitely something on my bucket list. It would be fantastic to hike in an actual proper snowscape.
