You should include traffic in it.
mrfusion··on Tell HN: There needs to be a “right to speak with a human”
On the flip side, put common operations on your website and let customers do it themselves.

I don’t know how many times I’ve had to call a company and the employee easily clicks a button to do what I needed. Why not have that button on your website?

(You could even set up a queue to have employees approve the action in the background if it’s a risky action.)

Maybe this should be the fourth law of robotics?
mrfusion··on Humans did not evolve to ride bicycles (2017)
How about a fusion of sensors to produce a 360 view like the fancy cars have?

I’d love to get away from the chain drive. It might be cool to make a hybrid drive and transfer peddle power to an electric motor.

Has anyone considered using a mag-safe like design so they would break away safely under extreme forces? Skis do this.

mrfusion··on I think US college education is nearer to collapsing than it appears
Anyone explain what patio’s tweet means? What’s pmc?

> I think specifically it is vulnerable to a preference cascade in the PMC, similar to the way that organized religion has also suffered from a preference cascade, and accordingly think a) less likely to be any one catalyst or reason its less relevant and b) can happen quickly.

When it’s scarce you want to waste it on the early morning?

I prefer having more daylight in the evening. I never really understood the opposite argument.

Does the house need to pass it? Will the president veto it? When can I literally set my clock to this?

mrfusion··on New solar sail may travel to Alpha Centauri
Thanks for checking my math. Looks like we’d need to stagger them by about 100 million km to be somewhat reasonable.

It’s still 400,000 times less distance to transmit a signal so it would help.

So these are tiny and cheap so you stagger the launches so they can relay their data back to earth. Each one could be within a few 1000km of the next one.

I’m really excited about this idea and if we prove it out we could gradually power larger and larger craft this way.

Eventually we could build lasers in the Centauri system to let us also slow down as we approach.

Sea level rise could probably be addressed with sand spraying every 5 or 10 years.

Our local beach gets raised by a couple feet every few years by beach replenishment projects. Just pumping sand from offshore.

Do hurricanes typically hit there? That seems extremely south and west. Hurricanes seem to turn north well before Belize.
mrfusion··on Lasers could cut lifespan of nuclear waste from a million years to 30 minutes
Can anyone explain the physics here? I thought light only affected the electron shell.

Are we saying light can induce fission at will?

Could we use this to transmute gold?
mrfusion··on Ask HN: Why does the Ruble still hold 50% of its value?
This post is kind of adorable.

You can’t blame someone for thinking this if they’re drinking from the media firehouse. For example a popular post on reddit right now: https://old.reddit.com/r/interestingasfuck/comments/tbmdke/r...

I think you’re right. That’s the tricky part but they might actually make more money on higher volume.

Have you considered selling an $80/year membership where users could subscribe to up to say 20 blogs and the fee gets distributed to those creators?

Or even have an unlimited package.

mrfusion··on Ask HN: Any weird tips for weight loss?
No screens while eating. You’ll actually avoid eating until you’re really hungry because you’re more addicted to your phone.

Plus focusing on the food will let you realize when you’ve had enough and you’ll feel like you are more because you remember the experience better.

You wanted weird tips…

Anyone can explain superdeterminism in a simple way? That sounds interesting.
