What would be a truly epic application would be their own chat bot to ask about applying edit guidelines. After reading almost all of the guidelines the talkpage debates, even amoung experienced edditors, looked waaaay off. The pattern of revert first make up excuses later seems the worse newbie deterrent possible. This while it should be fine to make mistakes. Many such excuses would get debunked by a bot imediately. It simply wont do any favors. If established editors dont like it they can edit the guidelines.
We are hoarding money to buy many bottles. The chinese are making and filling it while drilling wells that dont seem financally viable. They spoiled their entire bottle buying budget on that? What dumb communist central planners.
There is a 35-story luxury apartment tower in my town, sold with the typical rendery renders, and the pooldeck is actually built on the NORTH side of the tower. Gets sun for maybe 15 minutes a day.
They couldn't rent all the apartments so they took a huge block of floors and started Airbnb-ing them (including allowing amenities access for the short term guests). To the great disgust of all the residents!
Im a professional cleaner, there is lots of wonderful looking design out there that is impossible to clean. There is also a huge difference in how quick it looks dirty. Some things are easy to clean but if you have to do it 3 times per day in stead of once a week its going to be needlessly expensive and still look dirty half the time.
What are some striking examples from your experience?
BTW this is what I love most about HN - the surprising variety of people you can learn from, from billionaire founders to expat bingo-card geeks to Georgian-onion sellers to Dutch pro cleaners...
On a Light surface tiny stains stick out, on a dark floor tiny flecks of dirt stick out as if under blacklight, a concrete color with some smudge patern may get extremely dirty without anyone noticing it (which might also not be what you want) a dark floor with a pattern of tiny white dots can also look very clean while dirty.
Any porous material is a terrible idea, you get lots of surface area that you cant reach. Carpet, curtains, upholstery.
Gaps between things should be big enough for how deep they are. Tiny legs under sofas or closets are not useful for anything. Adjust the size of the gaps between wall panels to your favorite kind of insect or rodent.
The funniest one i've seen was a city with a lot of mosquitos where someone put giant neon letters outside under a roof. In a few days it was completely covered in highly active spider turf war dens enough to make a grown man scream. Apparently spiders love roofs and they obviously know flies like light.
Seems a good investment. ROI is obvious and guranteed. Some might prefer progressing [say] add/fin tech over heathcare but it seems fine to ignore. Its not like they are really suffering.
There is a disrupt joke inthere but i cant think of it right now.
I see room for a platform that only does auth, reviews and perhaps indexing.
Since you didnt ask, let me needlessly elaborate.
You can have YouTube or X or Facebook "design" a web page for you but those are always extremely lame. Just have websites in stead?? Their moderation looks more like a zombie shooter. Wikipedia has some kind of internet trial but that is so unsophisticated that it might even be worse.
It could be a simple redaction with a number of seats that can be emptied when the users request it though a random selection of jurors.
The redaction makes suggestions and eventually removes your website.
The site can still be publicly available before and after, it just doesnt live in the index.
