trenning··on O.mg Cable
Man they're selling stolen $25 bottles of tequila on 3rd Ave. Not even expensive stuff is hot commodity now, especially if you live in a cash world. Most of the stuff the street bazaars sell is straight up junk. A shiny Apple cable is worth it
trenning··on Pacaso is turning houses into corporations
> They imagined endless parties, noise, and cars overflowing their cul-de-sac. They worried those staying at "Chardonnay" would drive too fast and fail to heed local concerns about wildfires and droughts. But, most of all, they feared the Pacaso house and more like it would destroy their sense of community and turn their neighborhood into an "adult Disneyland."

We're not NIMBYs but don't come around here with your time share house!

This company is getting weird attention because it's just a time share. It's not even as bad as those landlords that run Airbnb flop houses. These people at least have skin in the game for their house and neighborhood. What a confusing article.

trenning··on Ask HN: Has Twitter removed the ability to browse while logged out?
Yes, extremely annoying at first. Same thing FB did with Insta. I guess it's good because I don't go to IG anymore and I don't click on links because half the time they're gated. Twitter will follow the same pattern for me.
trenning··on Atlas robot does parkour
Can we brainstorm how you would compromise one of these robots?

I don't think I've seen discussion about how you would stop one in an adverse situation.

Hogtie cowboy style? Taser? Paint splashed over sensors?

trenning··on Jeff Bezos’ Blue Origin Sues NASA for a Moon Lander Contract
The beginnings of a great working relationship. Good job Jeff
trenning··on The death of the ‘Millionaire Next Door’ dream
There's definitely a lot of Airbnb flob house owners that are outspoken in the fire type communities. But in the coastfire/leanfire groups there's more interest in steady savings and living frugal which is much more palatable to read.
trenning··on TikTok overtakes Facebook as most downloaded app
r/steroids used to be great but the pandemic really turned it toxic imo. Pandemic made so many subs polarized and awful to read. everything was trending negative before but now it's another level feels like.
trenning··on Bring back hydrogen lifting gas
I've found it interesting that power plant generators are sealed and cooled with hydrogen gas. A hundred tons of steel and copper generating thousands of volts of electricity is cooled with hydrogen.

Sounds like a recipe for an explosion movie style, yet there aren't any.

trenning··on Tunnels are our Transportation Future
I like the part of this Tesla fan fic where the author says to, just build the tunnel the size of the car no bigger.

I guess bulldozers will be the preferred first responder vehicle then.

trenning··on What better to incorporate a Deleware C-Corp. Clerky or Stripe Atlas and why?
Thank you for this comment!

I was not aware of the _why_ for creating a c corp over an LLC for a new company

trenning··on U.S. Fed reverse repo volume hits record $1T
Does that mean the fed is earning ~$50billion in interest a day?

That seems good for our national budget unless I'm misinterpreting it.

trenning··on Don't Be Anti Car. Be Pro Something Else.
What about the old cycling elitists who are anti car and anti ebike?

I remember when I was still surprised by the amount of old cyclist dudes who hate the existence of ebikes. Now it feels commonplace when interacting with that community

trenning··on Colombia boosts budding cannabis industry by removing ban on dry flower exports
The absolute hubris of you shit posting on the internet using electricity but saying growing plants is wrong
trenning··on CIA director says he is escalating efforts to solve 'Havana Syndrome'
I should've read the comments first! I guess other people are now having the same thoughts on this.
trenning··on CIA director says he is escalating efforts to solve 'Havana Syndrome'
Does anyone else consider the effect of having a politically charged name used to describe this "phenomenon" as distracting from it's legitimacy?
trenning··on The Bezos backlash is bigger than Blue Origin’s success
I really don't understand why people have such a hard time weening themselves off Amazon products.

It's not even like a physical constraint like having to drive a little further to a different store. Just visit a different website it's the bare minimum of effort needed.

trenning··on Artists, shrug off that imposter syndrome – the tech world needs you
I agree with you and the other person who replied. I also see how UIs that have become hotel-room-like are similar to auto design. They're converging on a mean that is efficient which limits uniqueness.

I feel like there's a place for being unique and place for being an efficient hotel.

Social media sites, ex forums used to have this uniqueness, now they're consolidated hotels for efficiency (not necessarily user friendly efficiency unfortunately).

This site is also a good example of being purposefully painful and bland even at the cost of hostility towards impaired users, but I guess it's unique in that way.

trenning··on Clubhouse is now out of beta
Something went wrong. Try reloading.
trenning··on Facebook Seeks FTC Chair Lina Khan’s Recusal in Antitrust Case
WSJ is going on a real run with these Lina Khan stories aren't they.

I wonder what the reason could be huh.

trenning··on How well do cars do in crash tests they're not optimized for?
My Kenworth will crush your F350, X5, Tahoe, or whatever other big ass truck/SUV you can get.

So if you really want to reign supreme on the road you ought to get a semi truck, with a sleep cab you convert it to seating for the kids too.

Is this the end game of suburban families race to owning the biggest hunks of steel on the road?

trenning··on Verizon suspends advertising on Facebook, joins growing boycott
The Black Lives Matter movement and organization stopped being pockets of social media since Ferguson. This a real movement for civil rights changes. Down playing it as a vocal minority is offensive
trenning··on CommunityX: Why this ex-Google employee built a better platform for protesting
Does every platform need to cater to everyone?

Couldn't a competing platform which is targeted towards your ideals be launched as well?

trenning··on Now Is the Perfect Time to Memorize a Poem
I cannot memorize these poems, but I like to go back and read them from time to time. I cannot put into words the emotions they create other than powerful, but that doesn't do them justice.

They are the poems by Xu Lizhi.

The full list of poems he wrote is in the link but I will paste one.

《一颗螺丝掉在地上》 "A Screw Fell to the Ground"

一颗螺丝掉在地上 A screw fell to the ground

在这个加班的夜晚 In this dark night of overtime

垂直降落,轻轻一响 Plunging vertically, lightly clinking

不会引起任何人的注意 It won’t attract anyone’s attention

就像在此之前 Just like last time

某个相同的夜晚 On a night like this

有个人掉在地上 When someone plunged to the ground

trenning··on Amazon VP Resigns, Calls Company ‘Chickenshit’ for Firing Protesting Workers
Seeing this on CNBC really makes me happy that it's getting some actual coverage. I hope having someone who isn't just a wagie quit in protest will make others at Amazon come to terms with their employer, and acknowledge their practices.
trenning··on Sucralose with carbohydrates may blunt the body’s ability to metabolize sugar
thanks I missed that section!
trenning··on Sucralose with carbohydrates may blunt the body’s ability to metabolize sugar
What does metformin do for therapeutic purposes? wiki doesn't allude to much besides diabetes treatment.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metformin

trenning··on Sucralose with carbohydrates may blunt the body’s ability to metabolize sugar
oh right that makes more sense thanks!
trenning··on Sucralose with carbohydrates may blunt the body’s ability to metabolize sugar
What does LCS stand for? low carb sugar?

one more q, is the insulin spike level of fake sugar similar to that of a regular sugar?

trenning··on Waymo Via
For long haul you'd still want someone riding in the cab who can do basic maint I think, plus off loading the truck a lot of the times is the duty of the driver. Some companies advertise 'never tarp again!' because tarping your load on flatbeds is the driver's responsibility. Also for in-transit maint airlines need repair, trailer power needs to be checked especially for reefers. I'm not sure about otr truckers but for ltl the driver is offloading trailer.

I can see the training and responsibilities shift as things become more automated, but for what a driver costs, I can't see them getting rid of an incab person for otr trips which leave the city. The response time and costs for fixing minor maint like a broken air line would be crazy. Also someone gotta fill those tanks up.

Does Phoenix have laws that make them more attractive for testing or just location preference?
