Curious how this affects the api. Feels like a big breaking change which I’ve heard nothing about.

Grew up in Australia, live in Canada. It’s just fun to stop up on the north before meeting up with family down south, gives me time to adjust and get some solo vacation time.

This is an absurd remark.

You don’t need to sacrifice humans, you need humans to behave different. Do you know the energy requirements that go into war? The chemical, carbon and physical changes to the ocean from all we do?

We don’t need to kill more humans, we just need to stop being fucking idiots for a few hundred years.

This kills me. I saw the reef for the first time around 2007. I went back twice, and the last time I was there (2017) I honestly couldn't believe what I saw. Wasteland? An under water desert? I don't have words for it, but I don't really want to go back because it hit me so hard. Our planet is dying and we're sitting here debating why/who and not doing anywhere near enough to fix it.

I'm so glad we have space rockets, flying cars and drone warfare...but I'd trade it all in for the reef to come back.

This could still be a problem. Human drivers are still available on these days today, and if services like Waymo take over and theres less Uber (et al) drivers, then we'll have no support on the worst days.

ha yeah, that's exactly where my brain goes too.

I will ask her and report back...

I can imagine her having some long explanation about the unknown risks of man spreading this substance, even if its not a chemical agent. I lean on the edge of listening to Grandpa Simpson on these kind of things: https://i.imgur.com/MdjduDH.png

It might well be safe, but the question is what are the downstream affects of reducing the population of mosquitos (or other bugs in the water that this substance impacts). Maybe they've exclusively positive, but I assure you determining that is no walk in the park.

I'd love to chat to you about this. I have been solo building in the real estate space for about 5 years now. I've finally got to a point where I make a roughly market salary from it, and I'm starting to venture wider into providing a listing service for everyone from FSBO's to large brokerages. Theres a huge opportunity to displace the position Zillow et al have, but it's riddled with legal challenges and risk (They've done a great job of making it hard to break in).

If you're up for a chat, please ping me! This is pretty cool and I'm wondering if theres a collaboration, or if I can straight up use some of what you've made.

My internal dialog can imagine my biologist wife yelling at you already.

Honestly i do not know the full scope of this one, but if there's one thing I've learnt from observing her work over the last decade...it's humans need to stop adding chemicals to water bodies with the goal of thinking they're helping something.

It's almost turning into something as good as standardized testing for humans...helpful indicator, but can be gamed.

I hope the MAGA folk threatening Canada take note.

Personal pet peeve undefined acronyms, "CPR": Central Person Register. For those who didn't know, like me, and had to look it up.

curious, why use black thread for red light? Haha..

a few things id want from a product like this

1) Blackout. Let me use them as a way to get complete pitch black when i want it 2) Amazing resolution. None of the existing products are good enough to replace my physical screens, but i'd love to. 3) Comfortable. Nothing has been comfortable enough to wear long term. Sure maybe an hour or two, but 8-10 hrs a day for work? Not even close.

Hope they get there someday.

I don't know about that. Honestly, idea of Americans self-ranking themselves as more humane is the kind of absurdity that lead us to where we are today. How many people making such claims have actually travelled to the nations they villainize?

For a long time I wanted to believe you, and in the past I'd have looked at work camps in China and said "thats bad". Now i look at the US prison industry and go "Is it really that different?". The examples don't end there...

Completely agree.

Up close everyone is great, far away, like from space, everything looks great. It's the middle distances that are problematic.

Also - Downvote me all you want you...the US is an awful influence on the world and if you disagree with that, you're part of the problem. I grew up thinking the US was the good guys, what a absolute load of shit that turned out to be.

As always, in the last 70 years at least.

I bet in many cases, the history of a single reddit account is worth substantially more than $18

I think the blend of the two is that value added to any information, such as the first time its distilled or positioned in a certain way, that's IP and should be real.

When an AI company takes that type of value, and doesnt provide value back to the person who made it, thats theft.

Information / facts are real and free. But those who helped us get here should choose how to license their work, and an AI company picking it up and re-selling it is clearly unethical.

Yeah honestly, I see a future where people start suing for reparations over things like this.

That’s a reasonable explanation for choosing Fahrenheit. It’s also a pretty good explanation for choosing to label it, since the same paper uses both scales.

"T. rex was warm" is even shorter again. I think we’ve established that omitting information saves space.

haha! OK good one.

You're right but: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49746671

Wow is that actually their guideline?

The same newspaper uses Celsius in its climate reporting, including the article below. Apparently the units depend on which extinction we’re discussing. One extra letter would save the guesswork.

Edit: Removed the headline quotation because the search listing and article heading differ.

Don't hold out on us now...
