This is likely an outlier. I submitted a new astronomy app (even with “Astro” in the name!) just a few months ago with no problem.

Also just plain old fraud: selling Chinese models as Opus. With the capabilities of Chinese models catching up fast, this is getting more and more difficult to detect.

Even straight-out-of-the-camera JPG files have been heavily processed - they are just hidden behind the RAW processor which we have taken for granted; not to mention smartphone pho…

That is not what starnet does. It just removes the star from the picture you took, nothing else. It also predates generative AI by a few years. If by "not real", you mean "you remo…

In the US it basically comes down to, is the delay the airline's fault? If no (eg weather, ATC), then nothing. However, most US travel credit card comes with trip delay insurance w…

I do this religiously, and last time I got a fraud alert call for my Barclays-issued credit card, I called them back on the number on the card. They seemed amused and didn’t know w…

Yeah I don't understand why all YouTubers seem to despise "the algorithm", and some of the creators I follow even created their own rival, Nebula, that does not have "the algorithm…

Further, in the US, non-iPhone have terrible resale value, so the monthly cost of iPhone can be cheaper

This is a significant problem for Chinese H1B holders, because the visa sticker for Chinese passport is only valid for one year. You can stay for longer, but cannot come back if yo…

Chargeback is not just for when your card is stolen. It’s also for e.g. when you never received your order, or your order is substantially different from what’s promised. It’s basi…

That is actually the idea. In this simulator, you design services that run on existing tracks. NYC subway is unique in the world in that there are a ton of interlining as well as q…

I just tested it out. Since this uses OpenStreetMap data, it is very easy to adapt to other cities. All input data and scripts are in src/data. Run the two Overpass queries, replac…

That is a good idea. I just added color for the tracks. I'm in the process of redesigning how trains look like.

As a Brooklynite I wholeheartedly agree. Unfortunately this is more of a service designer as opposed to a track designer, and it only works with existing infrastructure :(

Thanks - this is likely due to adding two tracks facing each other, i.e. -->-->-- -- I'll add some logic to prevent such options from showing up.

Hello HN! As a long term NYC resident, I have read countless articles on ideas tweaking subway services, but always found them hard to follow without visual aid. So over the long w…

For home / away purposes it's easier to just detect if your phone is connected to the network. I built something like that before by shipping the log from my UniFi controller to a …

Very cool! As a semi-frequent flyer I am also passionate about logging every flight I have taken. I have been using OpenFlights for the last five years but the constant bugs always…

Yes, and it's especially frustrating for tailscale, since when it signs you out on the server you are often not in a position to re-auth

NY tax form also generates a barcode from the information you entered to facilitate faster processing

The Mercedes G implementation of this specifically called out not to use this feature on pavement :)

In hindsight the fact that these neobanks can advertise their customers' funds are FDIC-insured is crazy. If I run a ponzi scheme but deposit my victims' money at Chase, does that …

That is actually a different rule: the tickets have to be used in order. Say you booked round trip A to B back to A and decide to drive from A to B. Tada! Your B to A segment is au…

Thank you both! In a way this could be a nice problem to have - attracting the attention of BigCo means we are big enough right ;) But yes, we will definitely be prepared for that …
