- Which standards are you referring to?
- Under $1000: A road bike. I live in LA (county) and the default is to drive everywhere, but here's the thing: driving sucks. We famously don't have great bike infra, but I thought, would I go more places if I didn't hate getting around? For trips up to a couple miles, biking is faster than driving, and I never have to worry about parking.
Ergo stuff. A kinesis keyboard, a logitech ergo mouse, a standing desk and mat. Between these, I've probably headed off carpal tunnel and back problems by years.
- You Won’t Believe What Happened Next!!!
No chance we want to allow HN posters to cool down the article’s original title when it’s especially clickbaity?
- Can you share any info about the project domain?
- I'll second this. Looks like y'all are starting something really interesting, and it'd be helpful to know what your location expectations look like
- The main point of this article is to inspire a bit more empathy and consideration for those with disabilities. He knows he's privileged, and that the 4/5 people who aren't currently disabled (by Sarah's count) are too; he's trying to help the 4/5 see themselves in the 1/5, too. Doesn't feel constructive to call him out for it
- Been traveling a lot this year - this would've saved me a ton of money. If you've still got the script lying around, I'd love to check it out
- WAG?
- It’s not mandatory, spacex employees can keep their shares in hope of an eventual IPO
- And discord was split off from a LoL-like game when it turned out to be the best part about it
- Is the novel religion you’re referring to the belief in climate change? Not sure I understand your comment
- Always sad to see these projects suffer from A Shortfall of Gravitas
- Nope. I made the mistake of architecting my current project around Amplify. Deployment errors are thankfully rare these days, but things that should be easy are hard, and there are many seemingly obvious use cases that the Amplify CLI doesn't handle.
- The isotope of helium they want to use doesn’t exist on earth in significant quantities. They want to make their own by running another fusion reaction between two deuterium nucleii. Deuterium is plentiful but this reaction will take energy and “activate” (make radioactive) some components of their feeder reactor.
- From How To Save a Planet, a podcast I like:
Alex Blumberg: ...and, [pipeline company] Enbridge says, stopping the pipeline won't stop the development of tar-sands oil. The oil will just travel in less safe ways, like by rail.
Ayana Elizabeth Johnson: But Tara says that argument is missing the entire point.
[Attorney and activist] Tara Houska: The idea is always like, you know, we're replacing old ones that are leaking. How about instead of replacing them and expanding them—which is what you're actually doing—you decommission the old one and pull it out of the ground and clean up the earth that you've contaminated?
Ayana: I like that option better.
Tara: And there's always, like, this premise of, well, it's gonna get shipped anyway. No, it's not. Like, that's the whole point. No, it's not. Your industry is on its way out. And that's the point. And we all know that. You can't sit there and say, "Oh, well, it's gonna go by rail or it's gonna go by ship anyway. No, it's not. The tar sands are on their way out. And that's the reality.
- I agree in a lot of cases, but a couple months ago I saw a pretty interesting idea on HN: https://sarcophagus.io . While I think there are some issues with this protocol, it convinced me there are some pretty interesting problems that can be solved with new and unintuitive social/technical means with dApps.
