I am completely at a loss to what your referring to then. I know of eviction moratoriums that occurred after covid. It was sold as a way to avoid a massive surge in displaced people from job loss. At the time I thought it was strange that t

I mean your are assuming that with free housing you retain a right to live where you want to live. I am NOT saying we should build this free housing in one area and stick people there: (see the many failed public housing attempts) But there

Do you think this tool will be used again for less urgent issues than Covid was?

As someone from a Western country, what replaces it? How do you buy a car on a loan for example? It's not perfect but unlike both your examples it isn't based on things that could be consider political. You can't lower your c

Would you consider not loading facebook and google for logged in users? I understand there is a difference but your selling privacy.

This is sound logic and probably be the case but I wonder if this effect will be less than what we have seen in the past because of the reduced TDP of the M1 processors in general. Maybe the cooling and power delivery difference between lap

Yeah, I didn't even consider this. But at what point does orbital solar energy start to make sense? I wonder what the $/kg before we can just send up solar panels that last 100+ years and provide continuous microwave beams of clea

Your math seems off, 1 ton is 1000kg, but your point still stands at $200 million plus the overhead of containment and transport to starship. This is far more economical that I expected. But also this is the price to orbit. As the escape ve

I didn't account for the decreased gravity over time as you chip away at the planet. Woops!

I can't tell if this is sacarstic or not but I decided to do the math. Mass of earth: 5.972 × 10^24 kg Launch capacity per year: 15,500 tons Years to get rid of earth: 385,290,322,580,645,161 years. I think if we every have to worry ab

Do you have to reveal who you are to Apple to use an airtag though? Or with decent operational security can you purchase and activate airtags in an untraceable way? If you can that undermines your point, however if you can't then your

This is exactly the kind of tool I was hoping to find. Thank you! I wasn't really expecting to be having novel ideas here and as usual someone built something close and someone on hackernews can tell me about it. This service isn'

Your comment made me sad to read. I don't really feel like that's a fair take at all. I love libraries and the experience they provide. These memories are core to who I am today. For me this is about access. I want every kid who d

This looks really cool and is exactly along the lines of what I was thinking. I will explore it later after work. Thank you for linking this.

I couldn't agree more. I have 0 desire to replace or limit libraries. They are some of few places where you can feel the progress of humanity in a physical space. I just want to allow people who can't access libraries easily to ex

Sure, I don't go to libraries to find anything about code or even computers. I go to find old fantasy series and enjoy the physicality of the library. I would say the internet is almost always better at everything non-fiction for adult

I completely agree. I don't think you can fully replicate this experience remotely. I am just trying to imagine what you need to do to get as close as possible. Maybe I make this a project happen if I end up with something actionable.

I think you are highlighting great ways to impress upon a kid the: "visceral experience of the vastness." Which is the core of what I want. That's a really good way to put it by the way. I really like the idea of taking kids

This reminds me of how instrumental just going to the library was as a kid for my love of reading. It was the only place that was like a store to me at the time where I could have anything I wanted. It felt like a fun challenge to find as m

I get what your saying. But on the other hand we are just talking about celebrating this. I feel like those sub-communities are probably more aware of the impact HIV than the average cis straight person and are probably going to celebrate t

It's important to remember that any community can spread it. Needle sharing among intravenous drug users comes to mind. However, you can't deny that HIV has struck a generational blow upon the LGBTQ+ community. If this works it wi

Thanks, that makes sense. I haven't experienced that myself yet so I wasn't sure.

Wow, that makes complete sense for something that is impacting this many people and by extension lots of money. Thanks for the answer, I have only ever worked with such a small team that we are all on a call every day. I can imagine it can

I am sorry, I didn't have enough context to understand what your saying. When you say: status update chain: ceo --> me. What information is flowing from the CEO to you? or is it the other way around?
