What's the point of fake comments, let alone talking with yourself using alt accounts?
Do you think potential users will trust someone who posts fake comments?

(We’re pretty far in the weeds here, but as long as we’re here – for all intents and purposes, this is a show HN.)
Once a year has been suggested as the typical maximum frequency: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9775868 . Consider reposting in 2025.
Also, coordinating comments and upvotes won’t do you any favors. It’s an easy way to get all submissions banned.
> Covariates included … drinking status (never drinker/past drinker/current drinker), body mass index (kg/m2), physical activity (metabolic equivalent hours per week (METs-h/week), sleep hours (hours/day)
They also break down sleep hours by cohort, with roughly 12 minutes/day less sleep among high nighttime eaters.
Here are some to start: https://old.reddit.com/r/changemyview/search?q=assisted+suic...
1. The VOC readings use a relative scale and it's relative to a floating value: the last 24 hours. If a VOC source is present for more than 24 hours, it will quietly become part of the baseline value (100). You can read more here: https://forum.airgradient.com/t/measurement-values-for-the-a... , https://forum.airgradient.com/t/measurement-values-for-the-a...
2. The CO2 measurements re-calibrate to the lowest value detected every week (as ~400 ppm clean air). If it's not exposed to clean air every week, the readings will drift. When users asked how this worked, calibration hadn't been thought about much, if at all: https://forum.airgradient.com/t/model-number-for-co2-calibra... , https://forum.airgradient.com/t/model-number-for-co2-calibra...
3. The graphs don't show reboots, even though reboots (always?) reset the baselines. Reboots happen relatively frequently due to software updates. So, even the relative scale can change without any entry on the graph.
I was pretty annoyed because it didn't seem like the company had thought through the user experience enough to even encounter these questions, let alone consider the best implementation (or at least document the flaws in whatever they're able to implement). This is the whole purpose of the product. The company means well and tries hard, but at some point good intentions matter less than the product.
Basically, let me use the app anonymously and get some value from it, so that (a) I want to act on something (save it, come back and continue learning, whatever), and (b) it’s earned some trust. Lead with value instead of leading with a signup form.
That said, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40650590 answered your question as thoroughly as anyone can.

It has all the ticketing features (assignment, status, etc.), but feels/acts like a very fast email reader.
If/when I want to save a generated itinerary, then let me create an account.
I also entered a location and clicked “Create Demo Itinerary.” The page showed this error: “ Max search limit reached, please register to continue!”
Big picture suggestion: design the home page around making it so easy to create new itineraries (and/or browse some that you consider great) that I want to keep using it.
And for where you are, that’s probably the key metric: what percentage of anonymous site visitors do you deliver value to (ie, they see an itinerary and click on it or try to save it or something)? Are there subsets - certain referring sites, for example, or people searching for certain types of trips - where that number is really high? If so, those are your initial market; get more like them. If not, find out what visitors actually want (interview recent travelers in your network, offer site visitors $20 to talk with you for 10 few minutes, etc.).

Because it's owned by Autodesk, I expect that Autodesk will eventually discontinue or reduce the free plan until it's unusable. Hasn't happened yet, though, and as long as one is not married to Fusion, I don't think it would be any harder to switch later (and maybe something else will exist by then).
I sent it to some friends as well.
When I first did this, I couldn't find anyone else who had shared that they did it. That's the main reason I wrote about it - to make it a bit more approachable for others.
If "Respectful discussions on controversial topics" is sincerely what you want, check out https://old.reddit.com/r/changemyview/ . There, folks did sign up for that and the culture and moderation was built around it. They also set and enforce rules designed for that use case, like "Explain the reasoning behind your view, not just what that view is (500+ characters required)" and "Only post if you are willing to have a conversation with those who reply to you, and are available to start doing so within 3 hours of posting."
It takes quite a bit of work to do well: https://www.reddit.com/r/changemyview/wiki/rules
You can read or join every phrasing of every conceivable vaccine topic: https://old.reddit.com/r/changemyview/search?q=vaccine&restr... (or search for related keywords).
If you want a suggestion, I guess this is one: don’t steal other people’s words and republish them as your own.
And… that page is plagiarized from https://www.ihg.com/crowneplaza/hotels/us/en/dublin/dblbl/ho...
This looks to be a mix of stolen/plagiarized copy and LLM-regurgitated crap.
