Recently learned to fly and got my private pilot license. I'm working on an instrument rating next...

I've also played drums most of my life and am planning to learn to play piano next year.

Well that made for a really fun rabbit hole to start my day. Thanks. https://worldbuilding.stackexchange.com/questions/36667/can-...

What's interesting to me is that nobody in that thread actually used a sphere the size that Bucky proposed.

A sphere with a 1km diameter has a volume of 680,317,581 cubic yards.

A sphere 1 mile in diameter has a volume of 2,854,543,238 cubic yards.

The driving mass force per those comments seems to be the surface area of the sphere, which grows according to the square, but the lifting power grows by the cube.

I think this is legitimately the first time in my life, that I've considered the squared/cubed law as a bonus.

Thanks for checking it out and for the feedback! I like the idea of pre-canned scenarios and an easy CTA to get started with one or more of them.

Hi all -- I built this because I consistently find myself re-creating the same spreadsheets to do long-term financial planning. I also find it hard to see how small changes in the near-term impact long-term compounding. I hope you find it useful, and I'd love to hear any feedback.

I aspire to build a product that has a website dedicated to how much it sucks, in namesake.

I'm surprised at how serious people are being in the comments... This is amazing. My team and I had a good laugh. Great work.

+1 for Diffie-Hellman... and the paint analogy.

I built hrnw to connect people who are in the same location at the same time. Think of it as an anonymous chatroom with everyone else who is also on the app at the same time, within a few hundred feet or so of you. I think it would be fun for bars, concerts, conferences, or really any other social gatherings.

Please let me know what you think, if you'd like to know about the stack, and if you see any big issues.

Any ideas on how to solve the problems that befell previous attempts at things like this?

I like the idea of social regulation (voting, reporting, block lists, etc.) to govern the content. Also a healthy use of computer vision and ML to weed out offensive images will probably be necessary.

I think the previous incarnations of this were a bit too creepy and focussed way too much on the location-based aspects of it rather than the experience of augmenting "what's going on around you right now". They were also way too early... Users weren't ready to allow an application to use their location a few years ago.
