It sounds like you are not their target audience, which is fine, it just means a different service would be a better option for the way you value convenience vs privacy.

I don't know much about this ecosystem but do you see an opportunity for a business to supply these tools (or be the app store) for excel/google sheets addons?

Private companies can still issue RSUs and have internal liquidity events for shareholders.

It can even be a problem if you do initiate the call. My mom got taken in by a scam where she googled "American Express phone number" and a scammer's website or paid ad (she isn't sure which it was) was showing at the top of the results with the wrong number.

If you ever want to chat about your ideas on contract management, hit me up. I'm an NYC based software engineer, email in profile.

The article is not drawing an arbitrary line:

> The IRS publishes a quarterly list of the names of people who have renounced their citizenship or given up their green cards, but it only includes people with global assets over $2 million

It may be an arbitrary line, but if so, it's the IRS drawing it.

I am a senior engineer and have been programming for close to two decades. I picked up Factorio a few months ago and felt overwhelmed. I couldn't finish the tutorial. I think my problem is spatial relations--it is something I've always struggled with (how to arrange furniture in a room, solve a jigsaw, etc).

I don't think this is a detriment to my programming ability at all--spatial relations really never enters into architecting a large system. Of course you need to think about design constraints but none of them exist on a physical plane.

Factorio, on the other hand, requires actual spatial relation ability. You need to visualize how belts intersect and how to best position things so they dont interfere with each other. This is where I struggled.

The list says Spotify but when you click on the "Source" for that it is an article about Shopify...

Are you suggesting that Nike's goal is actually to make it more difficult to buy shoes so they sell fewer?

One of the points of the article is that the vaporfly isn't the first shoe to do this, in fact, it has been going on for decades now. Moving the tech back to 2015 would not achieve your goal of no energy return. So if there is some energy return allowed, how and where can we draw a line?

I run in New York City using a Garmin (Forerunner 935 but the model doesn't really matter). GPS accuracy is terrible in midtown due to the signal bouncing off the buildings. Sometimes it records that I've run a two minute mile. At a minimum you'd think they'd have software that can detect that it's unlikely I'm setting a world record (or scaling the side of a building).

This frustrated me enough that I eventually got a Stryd footpod. The pace/distance tracking is extremely accurate and I use it to override what the watch records. So the GPS track still bounces all over the place but the recorded pace/distance data is correct.

I really love Instapaper. I have the chrome extension installed so whenever I'm on a site I want to bookmark I just do cmd-shift-s. Instapaper bookmarks it and saves/indexes the full text. When I want to look for it later I can search pretty easily. I don't use it much for offline reading, more as a simple way to search through everything I've read or want to read so I can quickly find a link again in the future.

This sounds a lot like the last-person-standing format that is becoming more popular. The most well known is probably Big's Backyard Ultra: https://trailrunnermag.com/races/bigs-backyard-ultra-gets-bi...

> The format is simple: Runners must complete a 4.16667-mile loop every hour until only one hardy soul is left. Whatever time they bank before the next hour begins is theirs. So it’s not a race of speed but rather a war of attrition where all but the winner DNF. Last year, a duel between Guillaume Calmettes and Harvey Lewis ended with Calmettes running 245.835 miles in 59 hours. The feat drew considerable attention for the race and attracted a highly competitive field for 2018.

If you read the original post (linked from this one) he explains that his goals were to learn new skills and keep his existing programming ability sharp. He has a full time job paying the bills and this was a labor of love.

Given that context I think any paying customers / level of profitability is a success. Yes, you can do lots of math about cost of time and opportunity cost but that ignores the original intent behind the project.

I played around with the tool a bit and it's actually pretty impressive--really solid for for a one person team and I wouldn't be surprised if it gains more users.

I'm a YNAB user and I just spent some time playing around with LunchMoney. A few quick feedback items from 10 minutes of use:

--Let me add new categories from the transaction screen. I don't think your default categories are comprehensive enough and I had to add a lot, and it is a pain going back and forth between the two screens.

--More default categories that make sense: rent, cell phone, internet, medical, software subscriptions.

--If I go back 3 months and categorize an old transaction, apply that category to all other matching transactions. I don't want to through every single old transaction and categorize. Alternatively you could use the YNAB method and not even pull in old transactions (or maybe just go back 1 week or something). It feels overwhelming to log in and see data that is wrong due to miscategorizations and then realize I need to back through hundreds of old transactions and fix the category.

Overall I think you have a great product! I am definitely interested in continuing to use it, I like the UI and it feels so much faster and more responsive than YNAB (their ui is extremely slow). With any of these tools there is always time/cost associated with a user's onboarding and making that as seamless as possible will get people hooked and make switching costs high.

Good luck!

Does this work in the Tor browser to launch the zoom client and expose your identity?

edited: after some research it is clear that this would work in the Tor browser. So if you are logged into Zoom using your real ID a malicious Tor site could launch the client and harvest your name. And if you are only using the browser bundle (and not routing all traffic through Tor) Zoom and/or Zoom+government could use this to expose the real IP of tor users.

Baseball teams tend to play multiple games in a row against the same team--I'm guessing this is why they travel fewer miles.

I don't think you read the article.. it's about how the idealism of the artwork vanishes once it's left the playa. It has nothing to do with the changing nature of burning man.

Any plans for a male version?

Source?

I participate in these kinda of events.. I'd be interested to know where you are getting your information.

Tiny suggestion: I was looking at flights and it was not immediately clear to me that Santa Cruz referred to Bolivia and not California. It almost made me disregard it and not click. May want to put the country name on the homepage as well.

That quote says it's been two and a half centuries.

I know next to nothing about the biking world, so this is interesting to me. But the comment I was replying to was specifically calling out Marathons which, for the most part (at least the majors), tend to raise a lot of money for charity. But thanks for the info on biking I will definitely read up on it.

I don't think you are correct about this at all, and since you said "pounds" I assume you're talking about the London Marathon (though most others are similar).

With the London Marathon, charities buy their spots for £300 each[1] and get well over £1000 (sometimes much more) in return for each spot. Marathons are very expensive to organize, so it is not unreasonable for the organizer to charge for the entires. In addition, many spots that charities get are given out totally free of charge.

In all, millions of dollars and pounds are raised through these programs.

I really love the name

I read the article but it isn't so clear about that. It says the forum contains many non-hacking related subjects. To a total outsider with little understanding of the world of computer security, Hacker News might look and sound like a blackhat site too. There are frequent posts about vulnerabilities, hacking news, and security tools.

I don't know anything about the particular website he was advertising on, but I could easily see someone in the HN community developing some security software, advertising it via a "Show HN" post, and then being judged for posting it on "Hacker News".

That's exactly why the cable companies wont sell congressional data. Why would they shoot the goose that laid the golden egg?

Why would the cable companies sell the data to a group hoping to get legislation changed that they just lobbied to enact? I don't know all the details of the bill--is there anything that requires a company to sell data to the highest bidder? My limited understanding was that the bill allows them to sell, but at their own discretion, just like any other monetized data.

It seems wildly unrealistic that this will accomplish anything. I applaud the sentiment but I fear this is wasted money and energy.
