Not really. Soon they will be paying taxes just like us and I'm not sure they're going to like it.

This would be great to take advanced healthcare like surgery to remote communities!

The Crowd Supply website mentions the high power consumption but it would be great if I could connect it to a smartphone to work on the go!

Agree. Dokploy is pretty good solution overall.
Exactly. As slave as them.
Ahahah! This is great! I've thought so much about this before! Thank you for building it!

Edit: One thing that would be great is to have channels per curator so we have someone that filter quality content from the sea of trash out there.

Can you share any tips on good origami books for beginners?
Re:Ask HN: How can we solve the loneliness epidemic? on Thursday January 15, 2026 @03:58PM (#46639209)
A couple of years ago I tried to create a platform to connect people to local communities. The twist was that each community had members that worked as buddies to help welcome and guide new members. I got 10s+ communities and members but since there was no business model associated and I needed to work, I couldn't kept it up. The website was https://tribalo.app.

From the few numbers I got, I figure out it help. Maybe one day I don't need to work and can focus on it again.

Re:Has the cost of building software just dropped 90%? on Monday December 08, 2025 @03:24PM (#46197168)
My suggestion would be to move to a higher level of abstraction, change the way which you view the system.

Maybe becoming full stack? Maybe understanding the industry a little deeper? Maybe analyzing your company's competitors better? That would increase your value for the business (a bit of overlap with product management though). Assuming you can now deliver the expected tech part more easily, that's what I'd do.

As for me, I've moved to a permanent product management position.

This is an amazing idea! Not only if fixes the problem of commenting but also allow people to continue the conversion on Bluesky. Well done!
Ahahahah. Made me laugh hard. Thank you.
We’re at a terrible crossroads. If climate scientists are right, we’re headed for unavoidable disruption. Some now say it’s already too late — all we can do is mitigate and adapt. Start local. Know your neighbors. Build resilience.

But if they’re wrong, that’s also bad news. It means our scientific institutions failed us, and the political trust placed in “studies” will collapse. The next time someone says “science says…”, society may not listen.

Either way, it’s a precarious place to be. Until then, enjoy the summer — it might be the coolest one we have left.

I still dream about a JS version of Rails' Active Record.

Yes, it’s happening
Maybe now we can stop this nonsense of competing among each other and start dedicating efforts to an international space program.

I really like ReactRouter v7 (it was previously Remix).
If the youth of the rest of the world keeps using it, the US culture attention will be replaced by something else.

This might be another step in the US journey of losing their role as a superpower nation to become just another country.
