Oodi is more of a living meeting place for people where you can play board games, video games, make art, 3D prints, music and such. It might be dubbed as a library to ensure that its visitors have a vague understanding of the place i.e. it's free to use all the services and open to anyone.

[1] "A library is a curated collection of sources of information and similar resources.." as per Wikipedea https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Library

Or what do you think, where’s the future of the biggest theme parks?

By tinkering and customizing you might gain a productive work environment but the way I see it is that some people just want to tinker because it makes them happy. The ’increased productivity’ seems to be more of a way to rationalize it to oneself.

Some people prefer Windows, some Linux and some MacOS. These days you can get work done with all of the most popular OSes without losing a lot in productivity. Beyond that it’s just a matter of preference.

Personally I have opted for Apple ecosystem but can’t really argue it being universally better than others. But then again, dont really feel the need to make that claim either. Just use the software and hardware you are most happy & efficient with.

Our thinking follows, what we call a ‘venture client’ approach, through which startups get a valuable asset, a globally operating reference customer, without a hassle. For instance, we use an expedited procurement process and leaner legal approach in POs. The industrial companies, on the other hand, get to apply new technologies and talent quicker in building new services, solutions and products that can add value to their customers or other stakeholders.

Venture Client approach also means, that when announce a business opportunity, we also make sure there’s significant need from the company, budget to make purchase order (revenue for the startup) and team in place to act fast given there’s a solid applicable solution. Venture Client also means that the industrial company understands there’s associated risk in building something new with startups - but also major upsides in time-to-value if done succesfully.

So far our approach has been warmly welcomed by startups and investors. We aim to keep it simple, fast and fair. We have plenty of references which we are adding to our website, some you can already access on our site.

Needless to say, this might not be of interest to all entrepreneurs or startups but there might be plenty of those who could benefit from the approach.

Hacker News is a great source of computer science and startup related news from different corners of the Internet [1]. Sure, one could argue there is a slight bias towards Silicon Valley & the US in what's getting up-voted and commented on, but overall, the quality of things to read here and the related comments are generally of high value. This is, as evident, all thanks to the active community with little tolerance towards internet memes, jokes and non-value-adding information.

So dear HN, could there be a Hacker News for ‘all news’? Or do you think time and other ways to share information has passed the idea?

Sure, there is Reddit and other social media that can be used for the same purpose to some extent, but given HN rightfully serves a purpose of its own, it’s difficult not to think that the same news-centric-community-thinking (for a lack of a better term) could be valued in other contexts as well. Would highly value your insightful thoughts on whether this is something worth solving, or testing out.

Don't get me wrong. I found the map highly interesting but maybe in determining best places to live it's a bit of a stretch. There might more value here for businesses that aim to be easily reachable.

I, for one, am always on a looking for new browsers to try out. Currently using Firefox (for FB, Linkedin and Gmail), Chrome for Youtube and Safari for everything else [2].

In addition to usual suspects such as Firefox, Safari, Chrome and Opera I’m listing here a few alternative browsers from previous HN discussions:

Blisk, a browser for web developers - https://blisk.io/

Ōryōki Web Browser - http://oryoki.io/

A smarter web browser - https://minbrowser.github.io/min/

Brave - a browser from the co-founder of Mozilla Brendan Eich - https://brave.com

Vivaldi by the co-founder Opera - https://vivaldi.com
