they show you the kitchen and a shot of the bathroom sink in these pictures, actually. it's just so minimalist that it's not that obvious. not quite to my taste but that's in part because they just want to show off the building itself.

really, though, you can finish them like any other house; there's nothing special about the kitchen, bathroom, or walls that precludes it.

aside from the striping, i imagine there's not that much different about building internal structures into a house like this than there is into more traditional rammed earth housing.

What about plumbing and water resistance to humidity in the bathroom?

Hi HN!

I created this originally to be able to find cheapest interruptible GPU resource.

It has grown to cover all possible instance types for major cloud providers.

Current features:

- Data refreshed every week

- Seven major cloud providers covered

- CPU or GPU instance hunting

- On-demand or interruptible pricing

- Filter by CPU, RAM, Region or Vendor

- Sort by Price, Price per CPU, Price per GB RAM, Price per GPU and many others

Final goal is to allow one click depoyment of desired instance.

Great tool. Would be good to also include other services like: advania, linode, Hertznet. Often these are cheaper and have more RAM, some even offer DDoS attack. (AWS costs about $6000 from their DDoS team).

I wonder how this would effect things like Preact too, which for operability sake, uses the exact same API as React.

0df8dkdf · 5 years ago

Not a lawyer, seems like this case will hold precedence then. The whole idea of copy righting an API is insane.

> Cloudflare merely requires CAPTCHA

I do agree that Privacy Pass is in theory a good idea, although to say that CloudFlare "merely" requires captchas to be filled out is a bit disingenuous. You're often required to complete 5-10 captchas, and sometimes even after that, you get denied. Had that happen to me multiple times.

Glad you mentioned it. This also has happened to me many time. It is unfortunate botnet and spam has give IP addresses bad names.

This is what happens when a charismatic leader of a tech company dies (2012). Who ever is running the company doesn't have the essence of what created iPod. Just mass consumerism now.

> The only place I've seen the word "yank" in computing is in Emacs context, where it means "paste", not "copy"...

This is a confusing difference between Emacs and Vim. Emacs uses it for pasting, Vim uses it for copying.

0df8dkdf · 5 years ago

also VIM. It is probably that. I guess he could have call it Put. But yank sounds cooler.

Just wonder can we just send the nuclear wast to the sun, wouldn't that be a good way to get ride of them?

mc32 · 5 years ago

Wanna be middle class people in CN buy fake Western brands, people who have money buy the actual Euro brands. It's their biggest market.

But the brands pushed themselves into a conundrum, they have statements against exploitation and treating people with dignity, etc., and on the other hand they turn a blind eye to the cheap (forced) labor in western China and enjoy the nice profits from the cities in Eastern China. So they ignore their supposed convictions.

0df8dkdf · 5 years ago

This is interesting, cause China has just become Europe's num 1 trading partner. Seems just like another US/China trade war escalating.

protomyth · 5 years ago

The founding members are GitHub, Google, IBM, JPMorgan Chase, Microsoft, NCC Group, OWASP Foundation and Red Hat, among others.

So, Microsoft x 2, Google, IBM x 2, a for-profit Security company, and non-profit security group, and a bank. I don't see any of the BSDs listed or any other big open source projects.

I'm starting to get a bit worried that this is and some of the goals going to be more for future legislation than helping open source projects with security.

0df8dkdf · 5 years ago

yeah, this starting to sound a bit like US Chamber of Commerce. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Chamber_of_Comme...

The name makes it sound like a US gov organisation, in reality it is a lobbying group to curb consumer rights.

> Quite literally, the only way to use HyperCard is to get a hold of an old Mac – or emulate it, but emulation always falls short of the real deal. That’s why HyperCard alone is a pretty clear reason to use Mac OS 9

Not to mention Beautiful Doreena! Misses Mac OS pre X.
