Salary is set by the year, and with the calculated 6.7 milliseconds of time dilation in the reverse direction (i.e. they will be 6.7ms younger when they arrive), sounds like they should be docked a cent or so.

Each board is, as of this year, 220 EUR per 7x28 panel. Still expensive! But specialized.

lanewinfieldon Show HN: I built a JavaScript-powered flipdisc display

Speaking as someone who also recently purchased these panels (and read the second paragraph where they mention where they got them), they're from the company AlfaZeta.

They build and ship from Poland. They don't have a publicly available price list but they cost approx 220 EUR per 7x28 panel. Expensive, but few places still manufacture them.

If you continue reading the post, they also link out to other manufacturers including ones on AliExpress that seem to be cheaper.

If I'm not mistaken, you have to be actually traveling (i.e. beyond the house) with an unknown airtag for it to start alerting you. If your neighbors are not traveling with you places, it's probably not what's going on.

lanewinfieldon The changing face of post-pandemic New York City

I lived in NYC for 10 years (the majority of my 20s).

Yes, people talk about their rent and their apartments (amongst many other things!), but it's because it's one of the things they all have in common— they rent. And because we loved to collectively complain about things.

And not once in the 10 years did I have bed bugs. I think I knew one other person with them (barring I'm sure a few who never shared).

All that being said, there is absolutely a housing shortage AND things in NYC are tougher than anywhere else. But I liken NYC to the doughnut added to the baseball bat when batters warm up— once you take it off (and live anywhere else) everything feels easier.
