Kinda been missed by the hacker news cycle... exciting development in Armenia Firebird.ai is led by Razmig Hovaghimian, who has been around the Valley block a few times already.


I worked for Daniel Alroy the founder of Q1. https://www.peel.dk/Q1/ I have never seen one in real life yet. He told me lot of stories, especially how he got into a fight with Intel. He had set out to prove a point that a cheaper simpler machine can be made.


In his later life he was really into philosophy and understand the orgins of life and innate knowledge. He wrote a short book with his thoughts. https://www.amazon.de/-/en/Daniel-Alroy/dp/1544005067 The book has illustrations by @ djbaskin - https://daniellebaskin.com/neuroscience


omg hey vachi it's Danielle, your former post-Q1 coworker :)

I've also been trying to track down a Q1 FOR YEARS and a friend sent me this article.

Daniel Alroy would be so thrilled about this coverage. To this day, I still haven't visited the Computer History Museum in San Jose, out of respect for his grudge with Intel. (They don't include Q1 in its history.)


My team and I also made a similar library, more so for dashboards. https://github.com/mutable/meiosis


The key term here is Danes, not residents of Denmark, but individuals who are born or naturalized Danes, even many of the naturalized ones do not get the same rates. By default Danes get ~5% downpayment where none Danes get ~40%.... yay


Well, given that the interest rates are negative, it's kind of hard to tell if 5% downpayment is better than 40% downpayment..

Afaik, the norm is 20% down, but the banks will loan you another 15% at a higher rate if you want that.


Indeed, if you're a foreigner the conditions are far worse: higher interest rate, higher downpayment e lower loan amount.


Not true, my friend(who is not a danish citizen) bought a flat in copenhagen and got 5% downpayment


hi Matt :))) congrats!!!


As others have noted here, this is why we use Nix https://nixos.org/


Def check out Lawrence's writing, if anything you will laugh ... if not cry.


Hey, yeah its a super good list. As others have pointed out, it really depends on what you wanna do with the picture. A few of my favorites are Stocksy and Cavan. On the more user generated side you have eyeem and 500px. And on the high high end you have getty. Check out Haystack.im and let me know if its helpful.


Thanks. I'll check it out. I just want to avoid those cheesy, unprofessional stock images - just looks tacky and the people in those images look way too fake when we show our website.


If you let us know a bit more about what you are looking for (two people in a coffee shop ; shark attack ; Williamsburg hipster on a penny farthing) and a budget I can put a gallery together for you....


Hey @tixocloud, check out https://www.haystack.im Let me know what you think, I am one of the founders.


Thanks. Will check it out.


PBS news hour has 390k subs on youtube and does 50k views on their nightly 50min. Compared to other news networks this is not too shabby. So yeah don't worry they have many other ways of getting to viewers.
