I like how this looks but I have a feature suggestion....
Could you crowd-source categories/tags for the stories and then try and implement an opt-in / opt-out function that lets us exclude certain categories. I'm not even sure if it's possible but you're some of the way there.
I think your last sentence is correct. I think author is saying that you can't make it work and THEN make it right with payment systems.
This is my opinion as well and I've been involved in the audit of a fintech system where auditors had to download EVERYTHING into excel spreadsheets and make the numbers balance before they would sign off on the books. That took a lot of time and money I'm guessing made a difference of at least .1 unicorns in the liquidity even that took place 3 years later.
I was going to say the same. There is a chance that they sailed to the location.
However a 6 hour flight from the closest major city would have given off 1500 kg of CO2 (per passenger). And presumably another 1500kg to get back again.
I was going to say that I was disappointed that the page didn't show the formula for the probability and show how it changes as you change the number of people in the room.
The premium plan has a quota of approx. 4 tickets per day which feels quite low for a tool used by a company. What happens when someone submits a ticket but the plan has used up the quota? Does it just get deleted?
What do people think about the Copyright notices on the images? Can someone with knowledge of Irish law comment on how something so old can still be considered copyright? Is there separate rules for images of art in galleries?
Dromberg looks great and Stonehenge is definitely far too crowded with tourists[0] but with respect to age Dromberg is considered to be 3000 years old [1] versus Stone henge being 5000 years old [2]
I will resist the temptation to joke about time travelling aliens
0 - Why do the tourists have so many Disney shirts, hats, and backpacks???
There's a line between "consumerism" and living a good life. I believe that many people in HN think that well made construction kits with parts that last for decades like Lego are part of having a good life rather than simply 'mass-martketed mass-producted plastic'.
I think you could watch some of the youtube videos the Professor Shawn Willsey has posted about the Icelandic volcanic activity over the last 6 months. As well as lots of cool stuff about the actual volcanoes and lava floes there is a lot of information about the magma chamber underneath the peninsula that is filling up and raising the land in a very measurable way. That's over a time scale of months. I think you'll see it's very plausible that over decades and centuries the level of land can change dramatically with respect to a the local 'base' level.
"Assembly Instructions - how to build a Blossom. In our experience, this takes about 2-3 hours for first-timers once you have all the parts cut and printed."
This is just my opinion but I feel it would be clearer if you wrote something like:
For a first-timer who can crochet or knit it might take:
1. 1-2 hours to cut the wooden parts
2. 1 hour to print the 3D parts
3. 2-3 hours to assemble the 'skeleton' of the robot
It's a probability game isn't it. There's a chance of that super super bug given normal antibiotics. But also chances are that any super super bug is going to have a downside that stops it spreading unhindered through other hosts or something like that.
There's always the possibility of a microbe/prion/other that can attack and consume all DNA based life forms. Or a 'nearby' gamma ray burst that sterilises everything within 200 light years.
Is that because you don't want to provide a product in advance of payment or just the overhead of creation/tracking?
