rickdangerous1··on 'Likweli': A new monkey species discovered in the Congo Basin
The bigfoot folks will be talking about this for years.
rickdangerous1··on Show HN: Un.limited.mx – Free Email Testing Service for Dev/QA Teams
The email body is now returned in the api as you asked for. In order to do the parsing I would be making an openai chat api call...so that would be for paid users only. Thats reasonable right?
rickdangerous1··on Show HN: Un.limited.mx – Free Email Testing Service for Dev/QA Teams
thats a good point. I could also include the email body in the api response. Then you could regex to get the code. Later on i could layer in a ai parser to extract the code and just return that.

I've released a new feature that allows you to retrieve a list of URLS from the inbound emails via API. There is now an API page that makes it pretty straight forward. Let me know if you have any further comments.

I could do that. How much would you pay?

Say a little more? Give me more context?
rickdangerous1··on How the humble chestnut traced the rise and fall of the Roman Empire
the history of food is fascinating. But this is the history of food and lumber which is even more fascinating.
rickdangerous1··on maps.google.com now redirects to google.com/maps
Wow...i didn't for even a second think it was anything other than a way to get a financial benefit. Kudos to you for not be as cynical as me.
rickdangerous1··on Mcmaster.com is the best e-commerce site I've ever used
And thats ok.
rickdangerous1··on Is bin-opening in cockatoos leading to an innovation arms race with humans?
I've often wondered if it is convenience rather than IQ that is the limiting factor for this. If I approach a bin with two hands full of garbage, how much time am I going to spend using half a hand to open an elaborate lock mechanism? Not much.
rickdangerous1··on Are we on the road to civilisation collapse? (2019)
Many parts of the world are very sparsely populated. The north American continent alone would easily double or triple its current population. We'd have to be smart about it, think carefully where we put new cities etc so that we hedge against climate change... it would be easily doable.

Africa too, is capable of supporting a much higher population IF we want to get really serious about doing so.

rickdangerous1··on Narco Submarine Found in Spain
Military and intelligence don’t care about drugs. That is someone else’s problem. They would never reveal their capabilities over a mere drug bust.
rickdangerous1··on AI learns from brain signals to create personalized attractive faces
this coupled with deep fakes... could make things go really wrong in our societies. Demographic collapse inbound in 3,2,1.
rickdangerous1··on Show HN: See the Price of Stocks in BTC
It could be that. Or it could be the start of something brand new and very big/exciting. Afterall, the hype of the tech stocks did come to fruition...but 5-15 years later. I don't know.

I'm going to put this down for myself as a historical marker. A marker for what, i don't know exactly... but it seems noteworthy.
rickdangerous1··on A selfie set in stone: hidden portrait by mason found in Spain 900 years on
Yes, and it will mostly likely be handling debits and credits.
rickdangerous1··on Commodore Amiga could get a mini/classic version next year
Some truth to that!
rickdangerous1··on Trump administration announces overhaul of H1B visa program requiring higher pay
"We've had other forms of indentured servitude that were summarily abolished, sometimes with difficulty" Can I nominate you for understatement of the week? The American civil war was indeed some "difficulty".
rickdangerous1··on The Human Error Darwin Inspired
Do we have a choice at this point? Innovate or perish it seems to me. Luckily there doesn’t appear to be any limits on said innovation.
rickdangerous1··on How far into the Americas did the Vikings travel?
I find the “experts“ closed minded and dogmatic. The text book history of the world is seriously wrong...
rickdangerous1··on How far into the Americas did the Vikings travel?
How many Tims do you think Britain had back then?
rickdangerous1··on Remembering my father
People who grew up with good fathers, have no idea how fortunate they are. Even after they think they do. Having a bad father puts wounds in your psyche that most people can never heal.
rickdangerous1··on Joan Feynman has died
Have you seen the Louis CK bit about that? The relevant bit starts about 7 minutes in. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IR8Um_vZ3oM
rickdangerous1··on I Don't Want to Be a Founder
But of course there are obvious exceptions
rickdangerous1··on Why companies lose their best innovators (2019)
Because for the companies that don't, it is a threat to their existence. Teslas has opened their patents for anyone who wants them, and not one other company is keeping pace with their level of innovation. The entire ICE industry is now already obsolete. You don't think this should compell existing players to innovate?
rickdangerous1··on Why companies lose their best innovators (2019)
In so far as they have missed the transition from ICE to EV, they are all wrong. Tesla has such a huge lead on them, they probably will never catch up.
rickdangerous1··on The global fertility rate is falling
Or foolhardy. Whatever is your preference.
rickdangerous1··on I Don't Want to Be a Founder
My take on this is: the only people who should become a founder are the people who can't bear the thought of not doing it. Anyone with less than "Give me libertly or give me death" levels of commitment should not even bother.
rickdangerous1··on Why companies lose their best innovators (2019)
There is a really important difference between companies which don't have enough margin to post a profit and companies that invest every bit of resource into capturing a new market. They're not leaking money, that is the wrong metaphor. They're conducting an expensive land grab on 3 huge industries: Cars, Energy storage, and solar.
rickdangerous1··on Why companies lose their best innovators (2019)
Wow... you nailed it. I was formulating this exact same thought the moment I read this comment. Big companies have so much bullshit the repell creatives.
