I heard one rationale that has nothing to do with factories > AI data centers. It is the only lever that legislators currently have. They want some bargaining chip to get more control over AI firms.

It does not appear to be AI, and is a passion project by a single developer.

I would love to understand this in more depth. Any chance you could write up what you found?

This might be a stretch, but I would love to know what outdoor plants are native to my area.

Looks great. Quick question. When I started it up, Little Snitch immediately told me it made a connection to GitHub and currencies.heynote.com.

Why does a scratch pad need to phone home?

This is just a tweet that makes a claim without backing, and links to an article that was pulled.

Can we change the URL to the real article if it still exists?

Note, compute is going up in price, but storage should be cheaper[1]. So it depends on your workload if and by how much this will impact you

Looks great. I am excited to play with it.

One nit, on your landing page it has a typo, missing "framework /that/ doesn't" > Never get locked into a framework doesn't support your existing tech stack.

Also, your Gallery has highly responsive SPAs, but for some reason the counter here[1] is very slow on a cold load

Not sure it's what you are looking for, but how Spanner mitigated CAP to delivery a relational DB at scale is a really interesting read[1]

Except Google’s RSUs vest every month. So, other than the whims of the market, it’s the same as salary.

FWIW. The panels are $0.86/wh each with a micro-inverter that runs ~$160 per panel and 32 panels. So, ~$5000 for inverters, ~$11k for panels, which brings you to ~$16k and your not even tied into the power of the house, or adding the mandatory shutoff, or the new meters, or the Emphase system that tracks by the minute power consumption and usage of each panel, etc etc. So lets call the rest $4k

Total of parts ~$20k. $12k for construction in the Seattle area seems fair for a complex electrical install that includes a 10 year install and 25 year system warranty.

I think like many things, the last mile of work is way more expensive then people realize. Solar is more than the panels themselves

Note: I could have used cheaper panels, but they take up more roof. I could have also saved money by skipping the per-panel micro-inverters, but then the system is more brittle and less efficient

I just put in a 12kw system. It was $32k before federal rebate, and it was the cheapest bid by 5 different contractors. Not sure where your getting $15k

Offhand, I feel your advice is contrary.

You suggest increasing the price because "If outcomes from using your app compare favorably to a therapist, shouldn't your pricing reflect that?", but then the next two points on brand and stigma suggest opening it up to all people who want to feel great.

I think you need to choose one. You are either a niche therapy compliment/competitor (price insensitive) or a mental wellbeing tool for a broad audience (super price sensitive).

I personally hope you keep to the lower price point. I think overall you will do more Good and reach more people. Even if you don't make a unicorn, $4/month from 5% of your market, is still $20M/month.

Also, final note, many people suffering from mental illness can not afford therapy. Even $4 would be hard, $50 is impossible.

To be clear, this is Svelte version 3, and the first commit was Nov 15, 2016. So the framework is technically 3+ years old.

That said, I don't think boring is about age, but about real-world exposure

No, they are the actual price. The price with incentive plus "gas savings" is about 5k cheaper. As for the website, look down and to the left for the full retail.

I think the author is not familiar with watches in general. You have always been able to choose very complex and "busy" faces if you want to have easy and quick access to information.

Just do a quick images search for "high end watch complications" and you will see plenty of very expensive watches that commit the same supposed "design crime"

I agree, I jumped-in to use it, and before I have an idea of value I am asked to login.

However, to me, the real blocker was when I clicked login with Google, it says it was going to provide my age range. Why? What do you want to do with that?

The article leads with "GERMAN carmakers have much in common with the self-confident roadhogs who favour their vehicles". That makes it hard to take seriously or treat as good journalism.

Great! Do you plan on open-sourcing? Anyway for me to help, even if it's feedback?

Odd, but I felt the same... it looks nice, its clean, and easy to read... but I didn't get the same excitement to cook as I do with say Serious Eats (example: http://www.seriouseats.com/recipes/2017/05/new-orleans-style...)

Nice!

It is clear you put a lot of care into this, and I am sure there is a bucket full of features you want to get to, but I have a big request.

What I really want is one step beyond a place to store recipes. I want a meal planning site! I want to create a pool of recipes that we like, and plug in how often this week we will eat at home. Then outcomes a grocery list and a plan for each day. Maybe it even sees what we have liked, and suggested new recipes to add to the pool.

I am this close to pulling the trigger on PlateJoy, but my biggest hurdle is I can't add recipes I _know_ we like to their list of experimental (to us) meals.

Really, I don't mind/enjoy cooking, but never seem to carve the time out to plan an entire family of four's meals a week in advance.

I wish things like this would start of as an open-source and/or stand-alone app. It looks great, and I want to play with it. But Excel is at it's core used for very sensitive data. Financials, budgets, customer lists, biz plans, etc.

How and why should I trust a brand-new startup? Doubly so when they don't even list security in their docs.

tl;dr; I love the idea, looks like a great implementation, please let me demo (and then ideally purchase) an on-prem version.

Super interesting insight, and fascinating walkthrough of the finance side..

However, you paint the whole thing as a corrupt failure. Hasn't smoking use dropped dramatically? Sure, lots of people got paid/power along the way, but we did make a large dent in the problem.

If I remember the old article, it was not that they could track after the app was deleted, but after the user had exited the app... after they had finished their Uber ride and went on their way

Looks really nice.

Given that this is yet another place to run code, I would be very interested in a third-party security review. The result of that, and any other Certs or regulator reviews, would strongly define what sort of work loads can be run on it.

Pretty neat that you have Lee Cheng as an advisor, who is hero in the battle against trolls.

But from the Bio's, it doesn't look like anyone on the team is a lawyer. What sort of track record do you have invalidating patents?

Congrats! I really enjoy using it to play with JS

Do you plan on branching out to other languages with Notebook (Ruby!)? Also any plans to open-source any of your stack? In particular, I would love to have an on-prem version, then I could reach internal resource and store sensitive data.

This looks great. I really love tonicdev [1], but I'm reluctant to use it on production data because it's SaaS [2]. If you open-sourced this and I can run it "behind the firewall", that would be awesome.

That was not what the commentator was referring to; > "It's very productive in terms of getting something up and running."

Implying that Twitter reached success under Rails, even if it was _not_ the best fit for the problem set.

Dumping Rails when you have won the market is a nice luxury to have, one that most people on HN do not have.
