What I really enjoy about hn is the fact that it’s not infinite scrolling. I scan the front page, if something grabs my attention, I’ll look at. If something has a lot of comments, it seems important. When I’m done scanning/reading, I’m done. On social media, you’re never done.

why print it? the illustration of the size of the cube is still valid if unprinted (if it where correct) and it makes it worthless to steal

for them it's just paper. how much does it cost to print a dollar bill. (would you even need to print it for this project)

Also, the more SUVs are driven, the less safe people feel (and arguably are), accelerating the need to buy an SUV for safety reasons.

Did you learn the kanji for the first 1000 words? Looking into learning Japanese as well. I tried the Remembering the Kanji by Heisig but that felt rather abstract after a while.

You just don’t want to crash with something like that. If all cars were build like that it might even be ok but try crashing into a normal sized car…

He recommend Proton Mail. However there's been a few comments lately on hn that its privacy isn't really sufficient. I'm wondering what I can use instead? Self hosting seems not only burdensome but likely less secure.

Was wondering this as well. Looks a bit like a Logitech MX 3. Hard to find pictures from the same angle.

of course the b-52 is a completely different airframe. Just wondering what the reasons are you wouldn't be able to convert airliners to be used in that role. It's been done for fire bombing!

I always wondered why the B-52 didn’t get replaced by converted airliners (787 has quite similar dimensions I believe). Would be much cheaper to run and could do practically the same thing, no?

Not irrelevant at all! Compare their branding to that of Boston Dynamics. Their branding of robots reminds me more of a Black Mirror episode... If Claude was a dog like robot, it sure would look like a golden retriever or something. Positive AI branding should create a positive public perception which in turn should create a positive attitude towards AI regulation.

Why should you do so? What’s the advantage or would you say it’s even necessary?

What are considered best practices for a German/EU citizen to start a startup in the US? What would be the process to found a company and to move to the US to work for your own company be like? Or would it be better to found it Germany and move it to the US at a later point (after PMF for example)?
