This is actually exactly what I needed. Telepathy works.

Re:Ask HN: How do you take notes on things you read online? on Thursday April 23, 2020 @02:41PM (#22959444)
I just save them to memory, by adding them as flashcards to ANKI. :)

It's the software that changed me from an idiot to an average person.

Re:Solar-Electric Drone Analysis on Monday April 20, 2020 @11:15AM (#22924554)
It's interesting that the optimization chooses to increase the airplane's altitude throughout the day then immediately cut power to near zero in the evening. I imagine this is so that the solar energy from the solar panels can be "stored" as potential energy with gravity?

Is using Jupyter notebooks like this common in the mechanical/aerospace engineering design phase? Seems like a reasonable thing to do prior to CAD/full physics simulations.

Re:IMF predicts worst downturn since Great Depression on Wednesday April 15, 2020 @09:03AM (#22877195)
Well said! Personally, I'd rather see growth in non-polluting technologies, mental health, education, and other aspects of our society. I don't care about overall economic growth and GDP.
They have a similar article for Android, for whoever might be more interested in that:

I like that you allow testing the app without creating an account first. That's good UX.

Re:We Made One Gram Of Remdesivir on Sunday April 05, 2020 @09:34AM (#22785471)
Does anyone know what's the probability that Remdesivir is indeed a solution against Coronavirus?
Re:We Made One Gram Of Remdesivir on Sunday April 05, 2020 @09:25AM (#22785449)
Thanks for taking the time to explain at a basic level, this was very interesting!
Where have I seen this before?

Ah yeah... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DgxZr6LLS34

Re:WireGuard 1.0 for Linux 5.6 on Monday March 30, 2020 @01:35PM (#22730138)
Do I understand correctly? You use WireGuard to set up your own VPN servers? Doing this is a lot more expensive than buying a VPN subscription, but it can be more secure if you know what you're doing, right?

Great initiative, thank you!

This is really good news. When will this be available to all users?
Re:Launching Version 12.1 of Wolfram Language and Mathematica on Wednesday March 18, 2020 @12:38PM (#22618506)
If they could also make the Mathematica software free to use... now that would be a win.
Main attractions for me would be a lot of high-quality buyers, and low platform fees (below 10%). By high-quality buyers, I mean the types that don't expect to pay you $10 per hour, and are able to formulate requirements and milestones properly, do not keep changing them afterwards, etc.
Re:The Block Tee by Plotinus on Friday February 21, 2020 @09:52AM (#22383503)
This reminds me of Supreme's Box Logo Tees. Those sell for irrationally exorbitant amounts. What I found also irrational was Carlyle Group putting $500M into the company.
You must understand that people holding IOTA after the last network halt (which was ~45 days ago), aren't very bright.

This one seems to be doing a worse job. Compare what I'm getting for /r/longevity:

vs

Not cool Firefox! That's the kind of thing I would expect to read about Chrome.

How do we know they're great? There's no review section like on Audible or Librivox.
