trafficlight··on SpaceX to Send Privately Crewed Dragon Spacecraft Beyond the Moon Next Year

How I wish I could experience the boredom of flying around the Moon.

trafficlight··on SpaceX to Send Privately Crewed Dragon Spacecraft Beyond the Moon Next Year

Probably not a ton of extra space for a multi-day trip?

Russia currently charges $58 million per seat to the ISS, with the price expected to increase to $80ish million by 2018.

trafficlight··on Starting an Internet Service Provider

That would work too.

trafficlight··on Starting an Internet Service Provider

I'll look into it. We should have an unlimited account.

Edit: it appears there is a 5 guest limit per paid account.

Edit 2: I think I'm going to set up a Mattermost server and push people that way.

trafficlight··on Starting an Internet Service Provider

Fantastic write up, Chris.

Chris has been hanging out with us (Treasure State Internet, our startup ISP in Montana) in a Slack channel called ISP School.

If you're interested in any aspect of starting and running an ISP, please join us. http://slack.tsi.io/#ispschool

trafficlight··on Craigslist Is Ugly, Janky, Old School, and Unbeatable

Unlike those fat stacks of cash in their bank account.

trafficlight··on Government-grade spyware hits Mexican advocates of soda tax

I don't buy that for a minute. There are so many amazing developers out there who could absolutely do this independently.

trafficlight··on Search at Slack

Very interesting. We'll definitely check it out.

trafficlight··on Search at Slack

I've been searching for a solution to this as well. Our Slack holds an amazing amount of information, but it's really difficult to curate that information efficiently.

It'd be cool to highlight a piece of information and insert it into a wiki-style site.

trafficlight··on The FCC is stopping 9 companies from providing subsidized Internet to the poor

How about simple things like finding a phone number for a business? Or a map and directions to an address?

Phone books used to be the primary source of that information, but they are getting thinner and thinner as the years go on. Not to mention it's only updated once a year.

trafficlight··on The FCC is stopping 9 companies from providing subsidized Internet to the poor

There was a pilot project in 2015 for broadband subsidization. From what I remember, it went well and they were going to expand the program to cover it, but I haven't heard anything about it since.

As the owner of a small ISP, I'd like to figure out a way to provide to service to everyone regardless of their income. Internet access is critical at this point for even the most basic societal functions.

trafficlight··on Crafting a high-performance TV user interface using React

The Coke touchscreen fountain machines. There should be zero animation. Just let me pour my drink.

trafficlight··on How Designers Engineer Luck into Video Games

League of Legends originally had a lot more luck elements, but they wisely phased out those uncertainties over the first couple of seasons.

trafficlight··on Ask HN: Successful one-person online businesses?

It's fixed now. The little slack invite app is temperamental.

trafficlight··on Ask HN: If you could live and work somewhere, where would it be?

Oh hello fellow Montanan. I grew up here, so it's a little different for me.

trafficlight··on Researchers create gel that regrows tooth enamel (2015)

Finger crossed.

trafficlight··on Ask HN: What are some good podcasts?

We Had A Good Life

Two brothers who tell us stories about current events, interesting history and their lives.

A good intro to their style is The Thickening video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rdvpMYwlKn8

trafficlight··on Reframing Sexting as a Positive Relationship Behavior [pdf]

I assume they mean to people other than your significant other?

trafficlight··on Why did crime plummet in the US?

B&Es are a lot tougher when you've got a bum knee and arthritis in your hands.

trafficlight··on Kung Fury – a comedy funded through Kickstarter [video]

Com Truise is another solid choice.

We do giant group builds called UberProjects. Big digs and big builds.

My favorite was the first one called Hall of Pillars.

In Minecraft, go to your multiplayer options and add these addresses:

p.nerd.nu - Player versus Environment. It's normal mode minus PvP

s.nerd.nu - Player versus Player. Full on PvP.

c.nerd.nu - Creative mode.

Reddit's MCPublic server map: http://nerd.nu/maps/pve/#/18/64/2/-8/0/0

We've been playing on this revision of the map for about 2 months now. It's a survival map with PvP disabled, so all materials seen were collected by people.

trafficlight··on After Prime Proof, an Unlikely Star Rises

> “Never heard of him. Absolutely never heard of him,” said Andrew Granville, a number theorist at the University of Montreal, in Counting From Infinity. When Granville heard about the result and the techniques that Zhang used, he recalled saying, “There’s no way that somebody I’ve never heard of has done this.”

Fuck that guy.

If you are running a torrent client, you're probably downloading illegally.

trafficlight··on U.S. requires new cars to have backup cameras

Drivers Education and driving tests are two ideas that come to mind.

trafficlight··on The Rise and Fall of Professional Bowling

I'm thinking along the same lines. I'd really like to find a chemist to work on the project with.

trafficlight··on The Rise and Fall of Professional Bowling

It's because the PBA's livestream offering, Xtra Frame, is utter horseshit. It's a 320x240 stream that you can't even make out who is who. The live scoring is horrendous.

I would pay $25 or $30 a month to watch my favorite players throughout the course of a tournament. But I have no way to do so.
