In safari, if I have content blockers enabled (which I have on by default for privacy and whatnot) then the site doesn’t show me anything. I’m guessing these are all ad links or something?
This is huge, actually I have used this before the free version, is this a 'side-project' or do you have some staff because it seems a big operation. Nice job.
I’m still selling Computer Engineering for Babies. And I just launched a new book called Simple Machines Made Simple on Kickstarter a month or two ago.
Both books are basically just simple interactive demos for kids and adults.
It makes me so happy to see this genre taking off. We did "ABCs of Programming" [1] when our son was 2 at least partially because there weren't any real kid's books talking about what "dad does all day". Funnily enough it wasn't selling that well until I posted an article [2] on HN about my experience writing it. Then it did steady business for a few years
My kid got a copy of your first book as a gift a couple years ago. It's really fun to have on the shelf. The buttons are so satisfyingly clicky. Thanks!
Thank you! As it has become popular at baby showers to bring a book I always send my partner with the original 2. We have probably gifted 5 or 6 sets now.
Yeah, I’ve improved it a lot, but a lot of the books from the run I did 18 months ago get confused on the cover page thinking it’s open to the NOT page.
ooooh what was the fix? It seems so hard to rely on light for the page numbers! My niece was just doing "For Big Babies" in a dim room and my brother in law had to point his flashlight at it to keep it on the current page.
I thought the same thing. I’m sure he’s the primary investigator of this case, but I still wonder how he came to suspect the ISS for a solid soda can ripping through two stories of his house.
I'm surprised, it looks nothing like a cannon round, also, as far as I'm aware the military has no kinetic bombardment it uses, I know a couple of years back they talked about the rods of gods system, but outside that I don't believe there are any rounds in the military that are just massive chunks of metal?
When I was 14 I was hit by a car while I was riding my bike in this same scenario. I was okay, it just rattled me a bit. Overall, I just hate cars and hope to some day live in a world where they aren’t pet of the everyday. Maybe I can move to Amsterdam or something..
Afaik a settlement against a company like google is essentially win for a couple reasons -- if Google could win on merit, they can afford to do so; but if they were going to lose, the cost of completing the trial would be even higher than a settlement.
Particularly, if she got the redactions and compensation she was looking for, thats certainly a win.
I don't know about that. Even with a company like Google, 12 years is a long time. What if the responsible attorney retired? I've never worked in a legal setting, but I could imagine that causing their work being reevaluated for cost effectiveness.
She's quoted as saying it's not about the money, just holding Google accountable. A settlement is money in lieu of accountability. A judgement would deter them from doing it to countless others.
Actually, I won on liability in two trials - 2015 and 2023. Damages were to be adjudicated separately because I was self represented and simply couldn't cope with doing a complete trial against Google's two law firms. This is the second liability decision if you are interested.
