Impersonal, tech-mediated surveillance was clearly the next logical step for law enforcement after the events of 2020.

ohhh... right, clearly, they only expected Mac users to open the web page or to apply.

JS will eat the software world. So having better tools on par with charm in the go world would be great.

Your design is very friendly and approachable. I appreciate the attempt to take another swing at this problem. I've been using Teams for a year now, and they are trying to do some of this same stuff, but what they missed was the key of the composing experience, being too high-stakes. Like you point out:

> they’ve often overlooked the fact that writing a post has more friction than writing a chat message, which is why people often revert back to doing everything over chat

Anyway, you have a really good idea with the LLM generated title and TLDR. I worry about not having trust in an algorithmically ranked timeline, so you might want to make that feature optional, or do a top-level tab like they did on twitter. Or give users ability to influence the rankings.

This app makes me happy. As happy as when I first used "The Hit List" back in 2007. Custom themes would be nice.

Fascinating. At first I just thought this title was ridiculous, but basically the authors are saying that the magnetic properties of the core affect cosmic radiation detection, so therefore any massive anomaly deep in the earth's core would

1. have an effect on cosmic radiation detection, and 2. is also likely to precede widespread global seismic activity.

They adjusted the radiation detection data for global sunspot numbers and saw a correlation of the specific event of the 2010 Chile earthquake.

If this holds true for more events, a sort of "geophysical weather forecast" could be possible!

Yes yes! One million times yes! Shut up and take my money.

$4K lower than a quote from a local contractor for a less capable system.

The sort of collectible one of his characters would purchase after a successful exit from a crypto startup. But it is beautiful. Also what is this new snowcrash story he was working on!?!

try googling for it... spell check autocorrect is killing it.

"Urban mobility" is such a rich vein for startups, it makes me think living in a city is pretty awful.

This tool addresses one aspect of my job really well, looking at how a dev implemented my figma design, and showing them exactly which little tweaks need to be made to fix it up. Of course inspector works too, but it's just like buying [Cleanshot](https://cleanshot.com/) instead of using the built in macOS screenshot tools. Providing a more refined experience for something I need as part of my regular job.

It's expensive for what it is, yes. But as a self-employed consultant, these (non-subscription) business expenses for software are my favorite.
