Why would I trust these recommendations? Much higher quality dietary information is available from much more trustworthy sources than the US government du jour.
A clear view of WW II in all its complexity is important. The current tense geopolitical context makes that even more so. Have you noticed how the current head war criminal in Moscow is glorifying his WW II predecessor?
- I'd clean up less relevant bits as much as possible. The subtitle for example says "Share text and images instantly and securely across all your devices". I'd s/and\ images// and s/across\ all\ your devices//.
- There is a strong use case for sharing just text. I'd encourage you to focus this app on just that. If tempted to add file/image/whatever sharing, I'd break that out into something separate.
- The copy functionality for each text string shared is great.
- Why not make the qr code visible by default?
- Let your audience decide how they want to use string sharing functionality. Don't presume on their behalf. What if two technicians on either side of a theatre want to use this to share secret streaming strings? You'd want to make sure your messaging is welcoming to them too.
Thank you! I'm genuinely surprised by a level of feedback I get in the comments, constructive, thoughtful and actionable! Would love to hear from you if there a use case you found for yourself.
I've built this as a small utility for myself, by sharing it I hope that feedback will help me to make sure I do not make unnecessary presumptions :)
- Asset inflation can be tackled with flexibility. The level of flexibility my acquaintance showed is not required. He bought a fixer-upper two apartment building with a garden in a livable small walkable eurozone city for 5k€.
- The productivity growth really has had incredibly strong deflationary effects. So much more, more diverse, tastier and healthier food for example, for so much less money.
- The growing affluence has really created incredible opportunities for scavenging from the waste stream. A practical example. About half of the food I eat is leftovers from a nearby school. I'm proud to be saving good food from going to waste _and_ it lowers our expenses quite significantly.
> It's utterly insane that people need to work more and longer as technology increases productivity. A truly dystopian economic system.
Keynes was almost right. He underestimated the ability of future generations to consume conspicuously. Also, the need for many to fit in by working, but I digress.
Many don't _have_ to work more and longer. I'm speaking of a large class, very much overrepresented on HN, of smart, healthy westerners with no dependents to care for. We have only one major problem. We live in this bubble nudging us towards conspicuous consumption - gently or less so.
My job closely resembles Keynes' 1930's prediction. Sometimes I work (much) more. Not because I need money, but because the job is interesting. Interesting as in, me learning, contributing something positive to other people's lives, growing my family's financial resilience and robustness, or just enjoying the flow.
> Do we not have ambitions to have people work less, enjoy what little life they have more?
Isn't that something for the individual to decide, not the collective? Many derive from work a lot of meaning in life. If working is what makes some people happy, it would be nice to not punish people for working until they die.
> I'm not saying this is an economically easy problem to solve, but we focus so much on economics and so little on policies that make people happy.
I see 7k€ for 12kWp, retail, for a diy ground install set for our summer house. That's before 4k€ in subsidies. No net metering, and feedin compensation is capped at 0.02€/kWh. But at 3k€ net, who cares? Even with the low electricity rates here, this makes sense. Even for a summer house!
In my town in NY state USA, they require a stamped engineering drawing for a ground mount system and it has to be rated for wind and snow load. Most of the ground mounts which come with stamped drawings have run about $1/W total cost which will meet my local needs for a set of panels in the 5kW to 20kW size range. This cost includes concrete, all support structure, and the racking that the panels attach to. This cost does not include panels, wiring, nor inverter.
If you're able to get a 12kW rated full system, including racking, panels, and inverter for the equivalent of $1/W that's an amazing deal! I wish prices here were like that.
