This looks to be a mapping tool rather than a full virtual tabletop. You could use this to export a map and use it with roll20 or foundry or a big printout or whatever you like.


If you are gonna go through all that work with this chip in particular, you'd probably be better off putting four of them on one board. It's all kinda moot with more powerful chips available for cheaper anyway.


It's always interesting to explore how far a thing can be pushed software-wise. Copying bits is free and small AVRs are literally cents per piece in large quantities.


I wasn't planning on actually doing it, I was just thinking of how it could be done.


This would be great. Then we could reliably use something like vault to store secrets with individual acls per-workflow, and have reasonable confidence that only that single workflow can access them.


I don't get the obsession with secrets...

Why not give us some signed JWTs for external authentication.

Secrets is only good for legacy systems.


While the current administration is turning a blind eye and I wish they wouldn't, the Russian connection here was only discovered after many layers of digging, and is still just conjecture.

After a few more iterations, they will learn how to close the gaps and be more and more untraceable. I don't know how it is possible to combat that.


"Yeah, we know it is wrong, but that single decision made 10+ years ago is too hard to change now without unknown side effects. Microsoft owns it now, so nothing too bad will happen"


Hopefully the landlords realize there is not going to be anybody lining up to take over these leases if they evict. Forgiving a couple months so a business doesn't have to close is almost certainly the shrewd business choice as well as the moral one.


The problem is many REITs don’t care. They are so large and so far removed from any one property that they would rather it sit empty for years than lower prices and have that affect the market rate and pull their portfolios average price per square foot down.


Storefronts in NYC routinely stay empty for years waiting for a large corporate client to come along, because the long-term stability and rent beat the pants off of any smaller tenant. Losing the stability and rent, I think they're okay with waiting again.


Abandoned leases then increase the incentive to demolish and replace.


I would love to read this, but keep getting blocked by paywalls.


For NYT, put https://archive.is/ in front of the URL.

Have you tried blocking JavaScript? It works fine here in Firefox with NoScript and in Dillo (which has no JS support).


Same here. If someone could summarize instead of downvoting, it would be helpful.


If there's a workaround, it's ok. Users usually post workarounds in the thread.

This is in the FAQ at https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html and there's more explanation here:

Sorry for the confusion. I didn’t mean to suggest the post violated the rules; I was only trying to request more information (my comment was the second in this thread—no one had posted a summary or workaround at the time).

Thanks to everyone who summarized or referred me elsewhere.

There is no minimum number of missiles that must be produced no matter what. I think op was simply suggesting that fewer missiles total should be made across the board.


I've offered to pay the person who watches my dog directly, and she declines exactly because of the value add of Rover insuring her. Seems a fair model.


I thought it was fair until I found out they were taking something like 20% from the sitter on top of charging me a service fee of 5% or so.

This conversation actually made me curious what the actual value of that insurance is.

According to this source, at retail prices dog walking insurance costs 500$ a year for comprehensive coverage, or about 40$ a month: https://www.petsits.com/petsittinginsuranceusa

Rover takes almost 40$ in service fees for one weekend of boarding my single dog!

I appreciate the value of insurance, I kind of appreciate the Craigslist+ role they serve, but at the point where more than 25% of my payment is never making it to the sitter... Rover is just burning my money to fund a bloated payroll and lofty valuations


Doesnt bother me in the slightest. Sitters seem happy and protected, I'm happy and protected, the vendor makes what they can. Not everything needs to be a fight against the injustice of middle-men.


Can you not insure yourself, or insure yourself against someone else?


Businesses can often broker discounted group policies which are a fraction of the cost of what an individual policy costs(e.g. health insurance).


Sure, but Rover is presumably benefiting from a much better economy of scale and bargaining position (since it's buying for however many thousands or millions of users it has), whereas you are unlikely to be able to do the same as an individual.


Yes but at that point and for the price it's a convenience/time thing. I probably spend 250 or 300 a month on dog sitting through Rover. The time it would take for me to find a way to self insur is worth considerably more to me than 300.


4 A's for ipv6 of course, and 1 A for ipv4. How could that possibly be confusing?

Had I been given a vote we would be using AAAA and AAAAAA records.
