I'm seeing a lot of people here assuming that the purpose of green hydrogen is for fuel cells / automotive transport, but I don't see many people in this space talking about that a…

aaaaand it's down again

I'm seeing a message to download the page on safari and a 403 on Chrome. Anyone else?

Came here to say the same. I cancelled two months back and I really don't miss it. On the other hand if HBOMax hiked their prices to $30/mo I wouldn't blink. For me I associate the…

pretty wild how these outages are basically just tolerated now. folks just get some coffee refresh HN a dozen times and then resume work when it comes back online. no huge uproar, …

Anyone else seeing this?

Love this! This is going to help so many people. Thank you!

Hey Simon. re: friction, I built a little service about a month ago that creates events via email — www.thad.cc You just need to cc the address in an email and it sends invites to …
