2. An all-encompassing personal knowledge management solution that is effortless and universal.
I'm tackling the issue of managing Reddit saves. Across all platforms (not just Reddit), people including myself like to save/bookmark interesting content in the hopes of getting some use out of it later. The problem arises when you start accumulating too much content and forget to ever check that stuff out. I'm working on a solution to help resurface Redditors' saved things using personalized newsletters. I'm callin…
Just a heads up: on mobile (Android Q) clicking on 'Get started using Reddit' gives me an 'No apps can perform this action' error from the OS. I have the reddit app installed, so most likely the link tries to open the app (instead of opening the link within the browser) and fails.
Solving the world's trillion-dollar energy storage crisis. (multi-trillion, actually.) https://www.terramenthq.com/ About a year ago, I started spending more time researching about climate change. I learned how important energy storage will be to enable renewable energy to displace fossil fuels. The more I read, the more fascinated I became with the idea of building underground pumped hydro energy storage. I found a…
How can I help?

Playing devils advocate, I'd really prefer this kind of functionality as a separate browser add-on - i.e. unlinked to my reddit signon. For privacy you needn't require the reddit ID of your users. Simply that they want to save something from reddit to their tryunearth.com account.

When you say that, I envision the extension overriding or extending Reddit's save button functionality by making an API call to the unearth backend. Is that kinda what you had in mind?

Do you have a link to the 1984 paper? How can I help?
1.) A solver for the unstructured Euler equations. ...I was intending to volunteer time for an local university project investigating parallels between Holographic light with orbital angular momentum and hydrodynamics (in this case the Euler/Madelung equations). Not sure what happened as... volunteers get lost in the shuffle? Anyway, the solver is fun. 2.) Porting my Python code for nonlinear gradient driven optimiza…
- Getting a representation of a city that cleanly divides paved areas into distinct roads and intersections, and understands the weird multi-part intersections that Seattle has plenty of. [This](https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1cF7qFtjAzkXL_r62CjxB...) and [this](https://github.com/dabreegster/abstreet/blob/master/docs/art...) have some details about how I'm attempting this so far.
- Inferring reasonable data when it doesn't exist. How are traffic signals currently timed? No public dataset exists, so I have heuristics that generate a plan. If I can make the [UI](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dabreegster/abstreet/maste...) for editing signals fluid enough, would it be worth trying to collect this data through crowd-sourcing?
- Figuring out what to even measure to demonstrate some change "helps a bus run faster." Should people try to minimize the 99%ile time for all buses of a certain route to make one complete loop over the whole day? Or to reduce the worst-case trip time of any agent using that bus by some amount? Or to minimize the average delay only during peak times between any pair of adjacent stops?
- Less technical: How to evangelize this project, get the city of Seattle and advocacy groups here using it, and find contributors?

It's really cool to see a feasible alternative to batteries. I think climate change is the single most important problem anyone can be working on right now -- amazing that you've found such a massive lever to pull on this issue.
I'm trying to create a program that can procedurally generate regular plane tilings, in a way that allows them to blend into each other over space and/or time. It makes sense in my head, but I think it won't end up working quite as well as I hope.
