Have you ever wondered why Manus founders gave up billions of dollars from Meta and “voluntarily” moved back to Beijing? One country does things out in the open, while the other operates in the shadows. The latter worries me more.

llboston — Sat, 28 Mar 2026 16:04:52 +0000

Just a few days ago, NASA unveiled its plan to establish a permanent base on the Moon: https://www.nasa.gov/ignition/

NASA finally got a leader with a clear vision, and with technologies like Starship and Blue Origin's New Glenn getting ready, the future is bright!

ISS is no longer the frontier, and I am glad NASA is focusing its resources on the future.

Not just for business. All foreigners in China must register their stay with the local police. Large hotels handle the registration automatically through their electronic reporting systems. However, if you’re staying at a friend’s home or another private residence, you need to go to the local police station and register in person.

Traditional buttons and knobs are not the solution. Voice control with local LLM will be the future.

Imagine if a round-trip flight from the US to Europe didn’t cost $500, but only $5, unbelievable, right? This is exactly what Starship will do to space travel. Many things we see in sci-fi, like lunar and Martian cities or orbital cruise ships, could soon become reality.

Personally, I can’t wait to see a massive, kilometer-wide telescope in space or nestled in a crater on the Moon. We might finally figure out dark matter, dark energy, anti-gravity.

Yes it's open to everyone. South Padre Island would be your best bet.

From Wiki [1]: SpaceX spent its own capital to develop and fly its previous launcher, Falcon 1, with no pre-arranged sales of launch services. SpaceX developed Falcon 9 with private capital as well, but did have pre-arranged commitments by NASA to purchase several operational flights once specific capabilities were demonstrated.

Many YC founders did the same thing. They worked on their own startups with no salary under a student visa, and applied for H1B/O1 visas once they got funding. Is this illegal?

SpaceX did get government contracts, but not subsidies, and saved NASA and US Taxpayers lots of money.

Not just Elon Musk, there are so many talented Engineers at SpaceX, and they are doing the hard work day in and day out.

In the space industry, the US is so much ahead of everyone else. SpaceX is the long pole in the tent, but there are many other startups doing cool stuff.

Show HN: I built a bookmark to fix Amazon search

llboston — Fri, 24 Dec 2021 05:20:38 +0000

As a heavy Amazon buyer, very often I am frustrated by Amazon search results.

For instance, with so many fake reviews on Amazon, I seldom care about items with no or only a few reviews. Hide them plz.

Also, pretty often Amazon shows me stuff whose names don't even match my search, come on!

Why Amazon doesn't allow me to set how many items per page? I don't wanna go through pages of stuff :(

Price Low to High is a joke! So many $0.01 items with $10 shipping fee!

I am writing a bookmark to fix all of these. Give it a try at heartthese.com and let me know what you think.
