I have seen better versions. The incoming air should be preheated with the exhaust. The exhaust should be barely warm. The weed can be part of the fuel. OH, and of course in the future it will be solar powered and run on the blockchain!
paulkrush··on Troll a Platform
It's double the size! Check out the video and the picture with the Eiffel tower. I have looked at this for 5 minutes. Come on, really? Is this real or is someone trolling HN?
paulkrush··on Apple will use 100 percent recycled cobalt in batteries by 2025
They can do this as their percent of world total use of these products shrinks and as the market has maturing waste streams.

Not all links go away over time. It's awesome this page is still up as I learned a lot from it. I linked this page in May '97: http://inlay.com/cnc/compute/compute.html

This can't be a coincidence! I bet it's even a fun strategy for some HN submitters.

"1. Upload your KYC/KYB information"

"2. We generate a plan for your funds"

"3. Accept the plan and we start moving funds"

Does anybody want to guess what happens at step 4?

paulkrush··on NIO reveals aggressive plan to add 1,000 swap stations in 2023
I agree moped scale does not scale to cars, but it's so practical, and does or could have a place. I really think most people don't have a place in their head for e-bikes. It would scale up a little more. I have not seen normal mainstream videos of people swapping moped batteries. How do I search for such videos? I only see clearly advertising/prototypes on YouTube. I was shocked when I saw this in person. I am just going off of what I saw around the Pearl River Delta (China) cities. I will say this will not work in my area (Too cold/suburbs) It would be totally awesome on bike paths, but think this is pipe dream. It's kind of like saying they should allow jet skis in the smaller park lakes. Never going to happen.
paulkrush··on NIO reveals aggressive plan to add 1,000 swap stations in 2023
How many people here know swap stations are a mainstream normal thing for mopeds in some Chinese cities? How many people here know that in some Chinese cities there are no gas mopeds?
paulkrush··on Ask HN: How are the current layoffs affecting non-US developers?
Recruiters are always selling and networking, regardless of the number of openings to fill. If there are few jobs every reference call is vital sales call to fill the account managers funnel. This is why, especially in slow times like this, you don't give references until after the technical interview.

paulkrush··on Ask HN: Are vapor ebooks a thing now?
Summer's End: John Van Stry

Teleport: Joshua T. Calvert

SOLAR STORM: Moon Base Delta Gerald M. Kilby

New genre for me. Space hard sci-fi, Well teleport was more just sci-fi.

All authors have many other books.

Correction: Summer's End was not a series, but it was clear this was written as a book 1. This book has publisher.

Looks like two of the three are "self-published". Well do you call it "self-published" if you own the publisher? I would.

The endings where professional, not cliffhangers, but just wanting for more.

Looks like I make a mistake with the first one, but three times in a row I sat down expecting to read a book that I can't.

For all I know all three of you are on HN... Yiks, As I am writing this I am know I am going to be shamed into buying the pre-orders.

paulkrush··on Sell Your Worthless NFTs, Harvest the Losses
You can't claim a loss on crypto if you lose the password or get hacked. Is declaring the crypto worthless different?
paulkrush··on Sell Your Worthless NFTs, Harvest the Losses
"How much will I get for my NFT? You’ll receive 0.000007 ETH (roughly $0.01) for each NFT you sell"

"How are platform fees calculated? Each transaction is subject to a platform fee. You’ll pay 0.0033 ETH per NFT, plus gas."

So I am guessing the "0.0033 ETH"(about $5.28") fee is also tax deductible.

paulkrush··on Ask HN: How do ADHD people cope on here?
I feel there are 2 main types: ADHD and the other type that we need to respect and be kind to. I suppose there is a gamut of sub-types in-between. Come and enter the "realm" of developers!

This is kind of meaningless without including other factors like inflation, gold backing, GDP, etc.
