noonshine··on Facebook – You are the Product
I had been off facebook for 5 years. Now my kid started school and there's info in private facebook groups that is not shared any other way. I hate it but decided to rejoin.
noonshine··on Girl Scouts Embraces STEM and Adds New Badges
"Financial literacy" is a category - not a badge. The badges in that category for 2nd and 3rd graders were Money Management (maybe all those cookie sales?) and Philanthropy... which are things most troops do anyway.

Mastering various cake mixes in a dutch oven is already part of camping with boy scouts, at least in the midwest.
noonshine··on Help Us Keep the Archive Free, Accessible, and Private
Ok, but, I'm very thankful I was able to remove the site I made 20 years ago when I was 14.
noonshine··on Can a single car break a traffic jam?
I have adaptive cruise control in my Subaru Legacy and I have often wondered what will happen when more people have ACC. Or even if I were following another car exactly like mine - would the lag time grow exponentially with more intense stop/go or would it even out? Or does it depend on how well the car implements it?
noonshine··on Internet Archive Seeks to Defend Against Wrongful Copyright Takedowns
I haven't done my research yet, but the website I made when I was 15-16 is archived and needs to come down. I'm hoping being made by a minor helps? Anyone had experience taking stuff down or do you have to issue a DMCA?

NSFW if you scroll far enough on the actual stupid hackathon website. Oops.
noonshine··on Leasing Begins for New York’s First Micro-Apartments
I cannot wait for tiny house living to take off. I want to sleep in a tiny box, have access to a super clean shower and spend 100% of my free time and money doing fun things around town. I don't want to force other people to live in those conditions... so how do you allow it without making it mandatory for poor people?
noonshine··on DEA impersonates real person on Facebook
"The photographs used by Sinnigen included revealing and/or suggestive photographs of Plaintiff, including photographs of the Plaintiff in her bra and panties." There is NO WAY to justify this.
noonshine··on Uber's playbook for sabotaging Lyft
Just downloaded Lyft app for use in Kansas City AND signed up on hn after lurking for years! Feeling super motivated today apparently.
