I built Scenia because planning and visualising IT projects sucks in Excel or PowerPoint. It's an open-source tool for CTOs and portfolio managers: roadmap timelines, dependency ma…

Funnily, this was an issue for myself so I built an open source AI video editor - https://github.com/waylonkenning/aidirector Cardboard looks really well polished, well done!

For a marketing app like this, really the people paying should be the restaurants. They pay a bit of money, they appear a bit more often, and a bit more at the beginning of the lis…

(Disclaimer - I work in this space, but these words are my own). My understanding is DIDs are a unique identifier. There's a few methods that can be used regarding the construction…

I think a tender is really a blind bid. A bunch of offers from different people (the tenders) are received before a deadline, and then the vendor views them all and chooses whateve…

As someone who lived in Canada, lives next to Australia, and lives in New Zealand, I wouldn't suggest any of these places are 'devolving into police states'. Having people do stuff…

Like the tide slowly lapping away at your feet, the symptoms of burnout aren’t noticeable until you’re already waist deep, and then you can keep swimming, until suddenly your brain…

That's where I think things like Tesla's Powerwall becomes so handy. Imagine 95 kWh just sitting there on your wall. Or in your Model-S. When there's an adverse power event, use yo…

I live in Ontario at the moment, which is a very regulated power market. I can only buy from one retailer. They in turn get charged a singular price from the generator. The governm…

One problem is when an event like this happened in New Zealand, other retailers didn't accept new customers at this time. I mean, would you accept new customers paying 20 cents a k…

I've seen a lot of news reports talking about people receiving $16,000 bills. Yes, that's because they're with a power company that charges the market rate for electricity. When th…

Yeah how dare this guy give away money to things he thinks is good, and not to these other things that I think are good. This is immediately the reason why these donations are anon…

One man's trash is another man's treasure. Otherwise we'd all be reading a website called Hacker Facts, not Hacker News. These anecdotes provide societal context to the story. Why …

What is insurance for? To cover risk of something bad happening. The bigger the pool paying for it, the less impact to any one person to cover all the risk. Now imagine that was sc…

Though you can access the website from Canada.

We all carry around a radio that broadcasts our location. I guess we'll end up switching off Bluetooth except to known good devices, or when we intentionally want to discover what'…

Yeah, like with iOS, where there's all sorts of special treatment for Apple apps versus third party apps.

This could be a business opportunity for another tractor manufacturer. You're not forced to buy a John Deere. Boutique tractors, hand repairable, simple parts. If people are hoardi…

I didn't even realise it was Data until reading the article. I just thought Mark's eyes were looking a little weird.

I see this as not much different than those bus shelters that are paid for by JCDeaux in exchange for putting ads there. Shelters should be free, and so should water fountains. But…

If only she had the time to do meal prep, outside of the four hours a day she takes to commute.

I loved these case studies, and are presented in a great way to engage non-interested stakeholders into usability design.

I used to work for a Power Company, that had a hydroelectric dam. There were sensors in the dam that needed Windows 98 to read data from. I remember we ended up having a fleet of o…

As an Architect, I'd rather have six hours of meetings, and one hour of documentation, than eight hours straight of being at a computer. In some jobs - meetings are the work. Meeti…
