    Can you explain how exactly dictation is used for development? I type about 120 WPM so typing is always going to be way faster for me than talking. Aside for accessibility, is dict…

    It's not that they don't want to pay, but they don't want to pay outrageously. Squarespace, etc. are stupid expensive for most websites. $5/mo is the limit for a lot of businesses,…

    Once he creates the website, does he also host it and handle the billing for his clients? Is he using a website builder like Square space or hosting on AWS? The hurdle is more than…

    Half this country voted for and supports a vile lunatic president hell bent on destroying the U.S. to enrich his personal wealth and power. It's not surprising that over here we De…

    Trump does whatever he wants. He ignores the courts and congress. Approval only matters if a power exists to hold him accountable (enforcement of laws). It doesn't. Trump has the m…

    Ask HN: Is there an AI subscription plan comparison tool that's always updated?

    I asked versions of this question to a few different models but I never found an accurate answer. I would like to compare the various free and paid AI subscription plans, primarily…

    The most important thing in life is yourself. I'm not saying you should be wholly selfish, but you shouldn't be wholly selfless either. "Love thy neighbor as thyself" If you don't …

    Mountain bikers becoming injured isn't a question of IF, but WHEN. If you have a coworker in their 30s or 40s who is just starting to get into mountain biking (a common midlife cri…

    I may have emphasized the pain going away on the PCT too much. It was still there, but subdued. Backpacking a thru-hike like the PCT is quite a physical and mental ordeal, hiking f…

    I've lived with chronic pain for the last 10 years. Hip, shoulders, lumbar. Have tried just about everything, including minimally invasive surgery. 100s of appointments, over 6 MRI…
