So you posit that humans are solipsistic by default, but some (most?) develop more and realize they’re not the only conscious being out there?

Half a mile

They have a hard time staffing the IT roles usually. Throw an app in, you can just do a 90ish day ‘summer’ deployment at some stations.

Typically it’s two per bedroom plus one. The max occupancy is set on the lease.

Depends on where and local laws. In San Francisco you can swap roommates out one for one and they landlord can not reasonably stop you. They can request an application if they want but they can’t reject them unless they have a very good reason. Most landlords don’t bother to waste their time.

This was the first prediction of The Internet. It’s such a great short story too. It’s pretty salient even today.

Cursor with Gemini 2.5 pro has been really great.

I think there’s ways to get out there at night. I know people host ‘clandestinos’ aka parties out there.

It’s a nice idea. I know someone who released something super similar called TreeTop. There’s also something I’ve been getting ads for called NomadTable. There’s an urge for connection out there.

It’s free if you get a job on a base there!

This is really cool. I also had similar frustrations with excel on big group trips and made an app called https://avosquado.app that is similar but also different.

I like the live save of input. I had some UI issues on mobile web but am curious to check it out more on my desktop! What did you use as a backend?

You mean the free product Microsoft Clarity that everyone uses?

Super great movie. We watched it in our transitional justice class in university. Our professor was from the eastern bloc and grew up with the informants and the collapse of it all. It was interesting to study what happens after the end of an oppressive regime. The movie illustrated that pretty well in its timeline.

Asana! They have a board view and you can just create a project that is a 'sprint' by adding categories and putting it in the board view. And then add tickets from other projects to the sprint and drag them through different states. And it's free.

Mobile app is also very very good which means you can easily update or use it to make tickets while on the go...or in bed.

On mobile the phones are so powerful now that you can just make them do most of the heavy lifting :)

The docs are TERRIBLE once you need to actually use them in prod.

Here’s a few a remember from my time at McMurdo Station

- The fry, fried > The accumulation of brain fry, mental fog, apathy etc that builds over time accumulated on ice especially during winter.

- The CRUD > a general cold everyone eventually gets and then is immune to on the base. Usually there’s a lot of congestion or ‘crud’. Probably exacerbated by the volcanic dust and dry climate.

- Ice Wife (or husband) A monogamous couple but only on the ice. May or may not be involved in other relationships off ice.

Pretty sure when you’re pregnant there you get shipped off ice. They pregnancy test you if you do a winter over. They’re not equipped to delivery babies there and pregnancies don’t happen quickly.

Money won.

The cafe culture is real in The Balkans. In Albania there would be five cafes side by side and they were all packed. Similar feeling in Serbia although I am sure there are some big differences I'm ignoring. I loved it.

So innocent and naive. Now we just sell the user data to advertisers.

Did these participants sign a release on the photos or was this snapped without consent?

iPhones are hardware locked now they can only be sold for parts.

My understanding is that some water sources naturally contain fluoride anyhow so this isn’t a great comparison. From the sources I read awhile ago they started fluoride additives because it was known that certain areas like Texas had bad teeth.

The province of Alberta in Canada is famously rat free. They stopped the spreading westward wave of rats in the 1950s and have maintained this status.

‘Wormhole’ nice.

Sure. It is an MVP for a CRUD app and would have some minor async worker stuff as well. The authentication piece of some of these BaaS is compelling.

Ideally a scalable solution that supports queues and uses a relational DB for easy migration to AWS in the future should the product scale. Ideally trying to avoid getting locked into a limited platform and needing to kludge around it

Yes, but this uses SQLite as a database right?
