Thank you! It looks great! Just to understand the plans, p. example in "Plus" are you limiting the number of projects per month to 10 with each having a maximum of 10 minutes? So, with 10$ in a month I can create a maximum of 10 videos where each cannot have more than 10 minutes? In the following month can I create another new 10 videos? Do I fully own the copyrights of the generated videos? To publish them anywhere?

It seems more likely that the OP even lost money buying a useless domain name that no one will pay for. Most probably not even a "Thank You" they will give.

In that specific part did you saw, in the end, some books going away too? Very good indeed :-)

I'm from Europe and in my past job my team had the tradition of having cake bought or baked by the guy celebrating his birthday.

If we generalize the author position from Netflix to any other hobbies... I would ask, how great minds can continue to create great stuff without experiencing life and living like humans that they are?

Instead of just keeping in mind "I need to be productive!" people (probably) should do whatever they want, fight their fights and strive to do what they love.

Do you think the work of a genius would be better if at some point in their life we (society) had put him in a cell and obligated him to create more "awesome stuff" 24h a day?

- Normally is attached to very good-looking and sturdy machines

- You can have (..)nix like terminal in half of the screen and Office, Photoshop, and most of the shiny SW ("except games") running flawlessly in the other half without some kind of VM

- The battery of this very nice machines that it comes attached to may last a day

- Customization is a bit more restricted than its (..)nix cousins so most of the time it runs flawlessly even if you don't know what you're doing

- It connects very well with the other device that a lot of people carry in their pockets

- There are not a lot of combinations of HW + MacOs that you can run so online support tends to be very good

Most probably you're right, it's sad, costs could probably be a lot smaller and contributions could be a small but sweet and deserved compensation for coffee/beer :-)

It uses Firebase. It really looks very expensive for the functionality and 1.5K monthly visits.. But the developer seems to be fully transparent about costs.

Is it just me or is this really well done? It captivates so much. Don't really know what marketing tricks are used to create something like this. Would love to better understand it.

I am referring to the case where FAANG would make money out of your work in closed sources:"With this FAANG will need to negotiate to use your code in closed sources(...)"

Still I get your point, and they indeed don't need to negotiate to use GPL but, with GPL most of the times the actual developer receives the merit of the work (whatever it means) and more important, the community can use any improvements/features/functionalities that FAANG may develop on top of original work.

I am not a lawyer, and please correct me if needed, but you can publish with GPL in all your projects that you own the copyright and simply include "if GPL doesn't suit your needs ping me" in a README and you can do agreements on case by case basis where you can grant a different license to a specific third party. With this FAANG will need to negotiate to use your code in close source but any average Joe can just write a nice email and use it.

Really cool and useful project!

To protect it a bit more against an easy sabotage you could add some symmetric key logic in the light emitter and receptor (certainly it already crossed your mind)

Agree, a lot of guys complain about the "nonsense" that is taught at universities, and sometimes they are right, but other times it is just the core of things/other approaches/historical facts that don't have a clear objective but are very important in the long run. Normally I find it hard to learn those on my own through internet, not because they are not available but because you don't clearly see what to do in the next day with them. While at university you may not care much at the moment but you get to explore them because otherwise you fail.

At least a couple of questions for recruiters would be awesome. It is so bad to be "evaluated" by someone that doesn't know what is talking about...

It's like saying that if you give free newspapers near the metro it is possible that more people will read them.

The only problem is that here they are giving for free "paid newspapers". So, everyone that wanted a paid newspaper but didn't have the money to pay for it read it more times because they were able to steal them.

By this analogy the conclusion adds that the fact that people are able to steal newspapers helps to keep everyone more informed.

Now, please do the same analogy for food.

Very nice, just wondering the security implications of having those nice PNGs stealed, someone can sign anything in your behalf...

Adding some known pattern to the signature that can be recognized later in the print would be nice if you need to prove that it was not actually signed by you. But if you get to this point it is already a big mess...

This made me realize how much I like Hacker News and distrust Alphabet.

Congrats! Any plans to add support for more languages?

This is nice from an academical standpoint since it can scale to track the cars, infer speed of the cars, track lanes, signs maybe experiment and try to do some predictions(...) But, if the target is just to find plates and recognize the letters I've seen this being done with only a RPI. (I am actually considering to do it just for fun :))

London in city passes it seems that "explorer pass" is repeated.
