This inability to reach and/or get things resolved through customer support channels seems endemic, and probably generally part of the enshittification trend as a whole.

In addition to Wikipedia, I’d love to see a mirror of all the health (NIH) and similar data

- key imagery, for example the human body

Hubris?

I'm all for progress and innovation. We need to couch such progress through the lens of thinking through the potential impacts of such progress though.

I am always encouraging people to donate. These are the kinds of projects that might save us.

I wish YC, and it's kin, would fund companies like this.

1 - do it. Absolutely do it.

2 - I love being around first time entrepreneurs- they don’t know about the bumps ahead in the journey so they just plough through. This is a great thing. Once you’ve ploughed through, you learn about all of this and it either causes you to be too afraid to do another, or to try to warn everyone else off by describing how impossible it is (doesn’t work and doesn’t help), or you get the bug and keep building more and more. 3) You’ve identified what seems like an awesome opportunity. Go chase it. Don’t spend too much time talking. Endless talk is the death of entrepreneurial endeavors. Do more talk less. Sounds like a super fun opportunity during which you’ll learn so much along the way.

4) Two entrepreneur credos:

A) when you see an opportunity the door is already closing. Get moving. Did I mention more talk less do?

B) the universe is interesting. The moment you start on an endeavor, the people you need to be successful just come out of the woodwork. It’s like you become attuned to the universe. Just gotta pay attention. Sorry - sounds preachy, but I’ve found it to be true over and over again. It’s like they find you through the cosmos.

Don’t listen to the naysayers. Those who say it can’t be done should stand aside for those who are doing it.

Welcome to the entrepreneurial journey. Pretty much the most fun you can have in business.

All the best.

I ordered a rabbit r1. I can see it’s missing some key functionality (Bluetooth for headphones so everyone doesn’t have to hear?) But… I think it’s an example of a first, promising, step to the era of real voice assistants/agents.

I am extremely excited about the potential of projects like the Rabbit R1 and Humane.

De financiering van sportvelden is meestal het domein van de gemeenten en deelstaten. De sportteams worden vaak gefinancierd door fondsenwerving, donaties/sponsoring en/of lidmaatschapsgelden. Dat gezegd hebbende, heeft een groot percentage van de bevolking (vooral de kansarme jeugd) geen toegang tot speelplekken of de middelen om een team te runnen (uniformen, sportuitrusting), vooral in de grotere gemeenten. De kosten van bijvoorbeeld grond in New York of Seattle om toe te wijzen aan een voetbalveld zijn astronomisch. Als gevolg daarvan zijn de meeste sportvelden/-arena's (bijv. hockeypistes) dag en nacht volgeboekt.

Helaas - in de VS worden veel sporten pay-to-play en alleen beschikbaar voor de welgestelden. Dit is vooral duidelijk bij sporten zoals skiën - waar een dagpas van ongeveer $ 80 per dag ging tot dichter bij $ 150 / dag op sommige heuvels.

Financing sports fields is usually the domain of the municipalities and state governments. The sports teams are often funded by fundraising, donations/sponsorship, and/or membership fees. With that said, a large percentage of the population (in particular the underserved youth) don't have access to places to play or the funds to run a team (uniforms, sports equipment), especially in the larger municipalities. For example, the cost of land in New York or Seattle to allocate to a soccer field is astronomical. As an effect, most sports fields/arenas (e.g. hockey rinks) are just fully booked up at all hours of the day and night.

Sadly - in the US, many sports are becoming pay-to-play and only available to the well-to-do. This is especially evident in sports like skiing - where a day pass went from around $80 a day to closer to $150/day at some hills.
