Ask HN: Is ChatGPT Experiencing a Degradation?
All my threads have disappeared except the ones inside Projects. They still appear on mobile, but new inference attempts fail with an error. New threads don't get retained either.

Ask HN: What do you think will come after Kubernetes?
I mean, Kubernetes became a thing after Docker became a thing before(and so on, all the way down to VMs), so it's reasonable to assume that something new will eventually emerge and become the industry-standard.

Ask HN: How do you manage projects in adversarial circumstances?
Hey everyone, I've been put in charge to manage a 6-months long project that involves many senior stakeholders and many impacted development teams (i.e., they will have to add new items to their backlogs). Now, I realize that (1) the senior stakeholders have conflicting priorities at their org level (siloed, protecting their roadmaps and capacity), which also seems to trickle down to the...
Ask HN: Selling or buying a project? (August 2020)
There's a rise of "micro-acquisitions" platforms lately where one can sell their side project, e.g., a bootstrapped SaaS, a mobile app, etc. I figured that the HN community is likely also to have some projects they are considering selling.
Ask HN: How do I set-up an iPad for my grandma?
Hey HN,After much back and forth, I decided to get my grandma an iPad (32 GB, Wi-Fi). She's been using a cheap 7-inch tablet that I bought her, but I found the screen to be low resolution and too small, battery life to be too short, etc., so I want to get her an upgrade.Primary use case is to facetime with the family (incl. me, who lives thousands of kilometers away) and chat with her friends...

* the complete note gets locked when someone simply places a cursor anywhere in the note, just like in the days of carbon/master copies and check-in/check-outs.
* work chat is meaningless, I have hardly seen anyone use it beyond the automatically-generated messaged when you share a note
* notes shared with you are ONLY accessible from the work chat, there is no menu item to access a list of notes that have been shared with me.
Ask HN: How do you hack your backlog of potential tasks and projects to work on?
1. I've noticed that, pretty regularly, things pop up in conversations that start with "we should think about doing it" and "we should do it at some point". Those usually don't relate to any specific project, and can potentially become their own projects. They're usually not urgent, but may be important and actually deliver value once worked on.How are you dealing with those things? For me,...

Booking date (I understand that on that day, the booking is confirmed, but the guest's payment method has not yet been charged)
Dt Receivables from guests 100
Cr Future host payout 90 (Problematic: how can you pre-recognise a liability on your balance sheet? Unless this is an off-balance sheet account...)
Cr Deferred income 10 (Problematic: deferred revenue arises when you receive a pre-payment from customers and have a standing obligation to them to render the services)
Payment made by guest Dt Cash 100
Cr Receivable 100
Check-in date Dt Deferred revenue 10
Dt ??? ??? (seems to be missing to balance the double-entry)
Cr Payable 90
To me, the natural way to do this would be:Booking date - no accounting entries, no effect on books. You did not render a service to the customer yet, nor fulfil or incur any obligations yet.
Payment received from guest - you received a prepayment for future services to be rendered, so now have a liability to the customer to fulfil this obligation, i.e., deferred revenue.

Cr Deferred revenue 10
Cr Payables to host 90 (unsure about this one, as this goes into the whole gross vs. net revenue recognition discussion for marketplace-type businesses)
Day after check-in - recognising the revenue on one single day might work now, but it's only a makeshift solution - what if your customer stays for a longer period of time, or between two accounting periods, and this becomes material? By definition, you recognise revenues proportionally, but I get that the cost vs. benefit of doing this now might be unfavourable. Dr Deferred revenue 10
