About shambolicfroli

How to keep society civilized and not dystopian. How to measure and track how well our institutions are still working, not just government (is anyone doing this? are others noticing trouble?) Life without borders amid hostile interests. Allergic to fakery of the behavioral, turned-up-to-11 variety. (this might not bode well) I was a no-show for Game Theory class, I didn't realize it would turn out to be required. Is it offered as a MOOC?

    To see where new behavior (by the platform) is needed, they should look at what breaks incipient good discussions, and how to prevent that. (I'll also note that the HN conversation…

    How about a separate bin for reuseables, with a once-a-month pickup? It should be clear, so scavengers could easily see if anything of interest was inside.

    I wonder how this Tesla issue relates to the admonition "stay in your lane".

    What are the misuse cases, and what does the software try to do about them?

    Ask HN: Why isn't there a “SuggestHN” category?

    HN would be a good place for threads of suggestions for improving various commonly used products. Like Twitter for instance.

    Curiosity, and wondering if I'd stumble upon something useful (to me or to someone I know), and wondering if 'make money' eclipses 'social-good'. But also apprehension, about misus…

    Ask HN: Is there a way to browse YC companies, live ones at least?

    I read an article (a month or so back) saying that Austin's great quirkiness was a fluke, of an economic downturn creating a transitory surplus of very cheap housing.

    Is there a map of commute-time average traffic speed in the bay area, and how it would compare to an e-bike rider?

    How could a company facilitate a mass move, I wonder. Putting "anchor friends" in the new place.

    The way to avoid queue jumping is to match speeds, then zipper-merge when the lane ends.

    Basically, "lane splitting" for emergency vehicles. This is smart, we don't have it in the U.S. For more info: https://de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rettungsgasse
