I’d love to find DnB with 10-11pm finish time. Any tips on finding them in the SF bay area?

Here is a great video on cooking pasta with less water:

I’d pay for youtube in a heartbeat IF they weren’t double dipping and stealing my data (which is now much more valuable to them because they can associate my data with PII).

More like automated ticketing for speeding.

There is a wealth of live performances on youtube that individuals have uploaded and that likely violate mpaa copyright crap.

IMO, this content is of high cultural value and I fear it won’t be long that the goog suffers us to watch “their” content without infecting it with ads.

I wish there was an easier way to self host this content with a way to organize and browse using tags.

There is a huge difference between $10 and $10 a month. "Afford" is not necessarily the right qualifier. Frequency of utility is pretty important here. My apple music sub costs $16 for my partner and I. We both use it extensively throughout the day. I might plan a new bike route once or twice a month.

Well, at least you are aware and considering oldster eyes. Apple regularly makes incredibly bad UI choices that would be easy to avoid.

Serious cyclists tend to be on the older side…

>frequent router over unfrequented trails and dirt roads in the mountains around me

This is me as well. Thanks much for your perspective, it was helpful in me making the decision to jump in.

I do like the idea of supporting products and services that are staving off enshitificaiton.

I sincerely appreciate your serious answer to my serious question. I am quite surprised at all these costs considering that OSM is free, but you explained them very thoroughly and I am impressed. You have adequately justified the subscription requirement.

This post, combined with the fact that your planner actually allows me to force a path has won me as a customer. I'll also note that setting your yearly at 75% of the monthly is wise considering very low winter time usage.

For me, churn or not is going to come down to whether I can read critical details on your mobile app without having to put reading glasses on. (which is a factor that not even a $2t company like Apple can address properly)

Since this is getting downvoted, I'd sure like to hear why you think an app like this justifies a $10/mo sub.

Unusable for me as it won't let me force a specific route. Yes, a car can't drive through that gate, but I can walk through it with my bike. Auto routing is neat and all, but in the real world, cyclists need more flexibility.

>a) Most people are mobile first

I couldn't imagine trying to build a complex route on a tiny screen with a crappy phone UI. I am starting to feel like an old man yelling at clouds here. Why in the hell wouldn't you prefer to use a nice monitor with a mouse for a complex task like this?

A subscription? $10 a month?? That's the cost of a music streaming service!!

I'd spend up to a $100 once on a killer tool that meets all my needs in this space.

This subscription first crap is way out of hand.

As a cyclist, I would never plan routes on a tiny phone screen with a crappy UI. I would always plan on a computer and then use the phone to keep me on track.

Your site doesn't appear to have waypoints? As an avid cyclist, I couldn't imagine just using some calculated route between two points. I ride for fun, not transportation.

[0] looked like it would be great, but every time I select an origin point, it just shows a bunch of plans which get in the way of the route I am trying to build.

So far, every planner I have tried from this thread has just been frustrating in one way or another. It seems very hard for most to understand things like road+MTB in one ride or that the map shows that the road doesn't go through, but I can simply walk through a gate that a car can't.

This comment would have be so useful to me if you could have at minimum dropped some breadcrumbs.

As an oldster who has only recently gotten into edm, I am clue free on where to begin finding anything underground and mainstream venues suck.

They also have clean and free restrooms. My Japan trip was such a pleasure as I was able to walk ~20km a day without ever stressing about needing to pee. Contrast to most US/EU cities where I burn so much time urgently trying to find a bathroom or else I stop hydrating and feel crappy.

Focusing solely on the “babysitting” aspect of your post:

Since babysitting is essentially required in our current social framework, why do we need physical schools with in person teachers. It seems to me that we could have babysitting facilities spread to lots of small commercial spaces with in person babysitters for kids who are doing school on computers with synchronous teachers online.

I realize that the model I’ve laid out here is simplistic, but it would solve so many problems that it seems worthwhile to flesh it out and mitigate the issues.

Apple Music = few users??

From what I could tell when choosing AM over Spotify, the latter has a lot of playlists for discovery and I would never use my streaming service for discovery as it encourages the service to promote music it is paid to promote.

Of course AM is annoying too because 3 out of 5 navigation icons along the bottom of the UI are for discovery. But AM has Siri integration, which works some of the time… :-/

>see the ban of AirBnB

Huh? I was there this summer with my daughter and there were plenty of Airbnbs. They were dramatically more affordable (especially given my need for two separate rooms).

I get the AirBnB hate from local renters, but as a frequent traveler, hotels suck so bad that they deserve disruption.

Those genres of music/dance require you to actually learn how to do them properly. The music is also not very popular. Personally I love listening to your two examples, but my point stands.

>the shows I go to are packed and there are other people dancing

I would love to actually be able to dance/move at packed shows. Not to mention the absolutely lame rise of seated only shows. Orchestral music, ok, but sitting down at a rock show is neutering the experience for me.

I would shift a lot of charitable giving to a non-profit privacy first site that is Facebook or Instagram which is focused only on sharing photos and text with friends, family and my local community. That excludes news, celebs, influencers, et al

I can't imagine that there wouldn't be enough people like me to support an inexpensive (compared to FB, etc) endeavor like this. If it still isn't enough, have local only ads that are not tracked and are served right from the site (and give users control over the type of ads they want to see). I wouldn't mind a couple unobtrusive ads for local restaurants, services, etc.

Maybe I am underestimating the cost here, but I also think that HN generally underestimates the social angst over the massive invasion of privacy by corporations. 90% of my non-tech friends and family have asked me how bad it is and how they can avoid it. Of course I just shrug and say you can't...

p.s. can you please link the HN discussion you referenced?

Maybe if you have an antenna on top of your house? As it is, I regularly lose internet connectivity (2 bars or LTE or 1 bar of 5g) on my phone when I step into many buildings that are within .25km of highway 80 in a large CA city.

AFAIK, latency sensitive games like CoD and Fortnite suffer badly on Starlink. Don't you think that would have a massive impact on adoption in areas where you can get "wired" internet?

Always at 5am whether I like it or not. I'd love to be able to hit the gym then, but my morning poop is a mandatory piece of my wellbeing routine, but that requires me to eat breakfast to get the works going. I can't lift with a full belly and my high protein diet means that proper digestion is a 2+ hour affair.

I have always been curious how people manage this to workout so early. Do you skip pooping? That would wreak havok on my workday.

The whole reason why I use paypal for some purchases is to keep the vendor from knowing my PII.

Paypal Enshitification level = 11

With Sidebery, you don’t need to use multiple windows (which are a PITA). Instead, you use panels which are always visible and easy to switch

Could you elaborate ?

This is what I got from chatgpt:

“PAGA claim (Private Attorneys General Act) in California allows employees to file lawsuits on behalf of the state for labor code violations.”

How would that apply here?
