Strange, right? So much focus on edge cases.

100% my thoughts too. US seems to have a lot of hidden costs , plus the value of the $ dropped quite a bit in recent times.

Yes, please. Or even smaller currencies.

as opposed to how many grams over the regular banking system that is running on networks far less efficient than Bitcoin?

It's not my job as a plain person to police their platform. If a shadow profile is created without my knowledge, Facebook should deal with it and be penalised otherwise.

Came here to post a similar comment. Even if he didn't cross the entire country, his "Straight Line" missions require a lot of prep and logistics, especially if a body of water or private land is involved.

Precisely! This is the reason why "crypto is good for money laundering" falls apart, IMHO.

Well, on "normal" bank accounts you would be hit by international policies and cover-ups, while on public ledgers, the only barrier is the tech.

Scale, but not %.

This pales in the face of other useless things people waste energy on...

I never understood monday.com, since a ton of similar tools area already popular: Asana, all the ones from Atlassian.

Monday.com always seemed to re-label know practices with their own terminology. What am I missing?

Another app that aims to "fix" workday tasks? It's hard to see why this is better and choosing Electron is a red flag. Reminds me of the email client wars from years ago.

Half an app, barely a business. Why did YC back this?

People will always find negative conotations for any word. Have you see UrbanDict recently?

Words are not he problem, attitudes are.

I'm intrigued. Do you own datacenters or piggybacking of some existing infra?

Strange way of comparing your main residence with an investment. Why not buy a cheap home and/or invest regularly?

If you're strictly thinking "I have X$ and should I invest it in stocks, crypto or real-estate[1]?", then sure, your arguments make sense. Otherwise, it's apples vs oranges.

[1] I did not use the word "house" in here, because that implies your main residence, for which, if not buying, you pay rent anyway.

There are plenty of horror stories, even if not directly murder. Rending out a nice, luxurious/novel holiday home is the story they sell, but that's far from the bulk. They enable a secondary, dodgy market in a lot of towns around the world.

So many people complaining about the price have obviously never tried to build something similar and sell it. Why do you all expect free designs and then complain about big companies being unenthical?

I assume a person or small team is trying to make up for the time spent desiging this?

You can't just add up all the components, add 10% on top and expect a price level that competes with Apple. Looks like a hobby project to me and there is no harm in supporting the creator.

Blank keyboard user here (custom ones from WASD Keyboards). I felt no difference between this and a regular keyboard, mostly because I was touch typing anyway. Programming is surely more thinking than typing, but once you're in the flow, it helps to just write away and the keys simply vanish.

Unfortunately the new Macs have really borked the typing experience, which was the main reason why I purchased the blank keyboard.

There's something about reducing the friction between your mind and the problem that I find fascinating, even though the bandwith of the "fingers on keys" channel is still rather low (unless you go all out bionic fingers like that schene in Ghost in the Shell).

Another, maybe fictional, reasoning to get a blank keyboard was to be able to type properly even with a VR headset on.

There's only one major drawback in my experience: position in front of keyboard. Sitting on the sides or typing side-ways (like in some pair-programming situations) becomes difficult, even if you follow the home keys.

While hosts like that do exist, that's surely the exception and not the norm. It used to be like that many years ago, when it was less popular.

Right now it's ripe with places (sometimes entire buildings) dedicated to AirBnB, to the point where they put a dent in the local renting market.

Looks neat. May I ask what the tech stack is?

Not a big sudoku fan, but wow! I might have under-estimated how exciting it can be.

Interesting. Too bad the careers page does not load properly.

This also doesn't mix pseudo-HTML (JSX?) with JS code, so that's cool.

As someone who has sort of lost contact with the front-end world, it's nice to see a coding TL;DR.

Hold on. How is this hardware? Is there a physical button/hinge that is triggered? If so, the chip shouldn't matter.

Or is this some piece of logic emebedded in the chip itself or the firmware of some other component, which makes this solution a software one.

just curious, why even release it as an app if the web version is good enough?

I'm fairly confident one can write an Alfred plug-in for most of these tasks.

Can you imagine how low that cost has to be? Unsure that's a worthwhile busines. AWS has the economy of scale.

This is my experience too, albeit sometimes it does feel good to have an infra specialist on the team. Edge cases do happen.

Same here. All this tech is cool and all, but trains would remove some of the variables.
