Are you like building a mobile app or have 100k tests or is it just super slow?

Exactly, the tech part of this is cool and novel.

The highly targeted fishing is less good, but that’s not to say they couldn’t use the same app to direct people at lower fished zones while the heavily trafficked areas recover.

Also a good use case for a government-developed app. They have the most up to date access to satellite photos (likely already paid for other departments to use, too) and a desire to make their fisherman more efficient.

Fair point! I figured the money thing but didn’t think about the standardization thing

I wish this happened more often! Why not infuse art into routine notification lights/bells?

I’ve had my bike(s) stolen a few times.

It really sucks since usually I’m expecting to be able to bike somewhere (much faster than driving or public transport in my city) and can’t so I end up being late to whatever I was going to. Not to mention the whole process of buying a new bike, a new lock, new lights, etc.

I’m pretty fortunate in that it doesn’t ruin me financially to buy a new $400 Craigslist bike plus $100 in accessories but I would rather not do it every ~2 yrs or so

I’ve heard some people say that they feel violated because someone took their personal stuff, but I guess I just see it as the cost of locking your bike up in public in the city.

Say it again!

sigh 2024 is the year of the Linux desktop

It took me an embarrassingly long time to figure out what a “Pugina” was, should have just clicked the link

As compared to a recall and re-fitting a fab, a class action is probably the cheaper way out.

I wish companies cared about what they sold instead of picking the cheapest way out, but welcome to the world we live in.

I feel like you’re trying to fight an uphill battle. I find it’s always easiest to learn in a way that motivates or invigorates me.

For example, I wanted to play games with my friends so I got into hosting a Minecraft server. It was hell at first to learn all the individual pieces, but I was motivated and it led me down the path of learning networking, basic server client architecture, and performance monitoring. That kind of spiralled out into making my own plugin, too. Despite the fact that I never ran a server with more than 5 active players or finished my plugin, it sent me down a path learning tons of new stuff because it was fun for me.

I transitioned into webapp development later on by trying to make an idea I had come to life. This was well before I had even heard the word “startup” and I had no business sense, but I wanted to make something and was very motivated to hack my way through it. I didn’t finish that either, but I still use those skills I learned today.

Seems like it could be converted to a vending machine pretty easily if you could add your own OS

Already has security, waterproofing, payment processing stuff, and a screen to choose your item.

And they’re making things worse as we use less and less paper at the same time… Geniuses

Do people ever post real content there…? I’m concerned if so

“the dotcom crash is when the proto-humans lost all their money and regions that they called ‘countries’ devolved into chaos”

What did you prefer? Lenovo?

This has strong Always Sunny energy

I don’t know anything about how it works, but I assumed it was absorbed by the skin on your head not the actual hair.

I still doubt that putting vitamin whatever on your head everyday will actually make a difference

Basic economy will eventually only let you select any ad in their library. Actual content is for regular economy passengers only!

It’s truly amazing…they must stand at the front of meetings and just ask “how do we make our passengers hate us most?”

Maybe I don’t understand the economics of this move, but are they really going to make that much more money from targeted ads? If it’s double the price, I assume it’s worth it, but if it’s a ~10% gain it’s just dumb.

The “article” is like 100 words and just restates the title in more words.

Maybe the only information it adds is that they won’t target passengers under 18
