Learn to teach someone something new or do voluntary work. Try to make better humans for tomorrow. I know your today is screwed. However, your learners may create a better tomorrow.


Looks like there will be a vehicle (manned of course) following the trucks at this time (the same way oversized cargo/load moves today).


Unlike "the way oversized cargo/load moves today," the chase vehicle is just another Peterbilt truck pulling cargo, but with a safety driver. It's not a flag car or something like that.


That can't be the long term plan for self-driving trucks?


Matrimonial App for Indians settled Abroad (with paying members) - https://www.nrimeet.app/

Neighborhood App for Indians - https://neighar.com/


People buy houses by taking loans with high interest. Next year, the house they own increase in valuation equal to the amount they paid interest.

House owner is happy - their asset has increased in value. Bank is happy. They got the money. City is happy. They got their taxes for the higher valuation of the house.

After sometime, The middle-class becomes lower class and moves to rent. The lower class becomes homeless as they cannot afford the rent.

The cycle repeats.


I made a dating/meetup app exclusively for Indians and for the NRI Indians (Non-resident Indians).

https://www.nrimeet.app/

Available on IOS and Android.

Gets me around $250 per month. I've not done much marketing either. Started as a hobby project after Covid and continued after.

I also built an Indian Version of Neighborhood app (like Nextdoor). But I am not making any money from it. https://neighar.com

PS: I am planning to scale up and also planning to spend some money on marketing. Investors are welcome!


Why no one mentioned the term “vaporware”? Isn’t this a classic example of one?


A couple of the HN comments in this thread said,

"America can simultaneously be the safest place on earth for those with food allergies, while avoiding this kind of bureaucratic nonsense."

"I get that this seems like an overreach, but America is incredibly safe for people with allergies and it's because of enforcement like this."

In my 40+ years of life in India, and among the many people that I've seen or interacted with in 5 Indian states (among 28 States), I've rarely heard someone say they have allergies the way they have in the US. In US, people have allergies to almost everything.

In my 40+ years of life in India, and based on the various supermarkets that I've visited across 4 heavily crowded metro cities, I've rarely seen "Allergy" medicines/prescriptions occupy the shelf like they do in the US.

Also in the same period of my existence in this third world country, I've rarely seen people concerned about the ingredients in a restaurant menu or labels printed on food packets or containers that there are allergy causing ingredients in there.

Like George Bush once cruelly remarked, "India is the cause of shortage of food in the world", because we eat everything, and rarely check the labels or need them, or less allergic to any food. We are just short of food.


I went to Europe from the US and all my stomach issues disappeared. When I told my doctor she said, “Move to Europe”.

My sister, who lives in AZ, gets boils when she eats gluten. She went to Europe last month, freely ate everything, had zero outbreaks. Got an outbreak on her return flight.

I can’t scientifically identify the mechanism here, but I believe it’s real. Our food system in the US is a problem. Things that don’t work here work elsewhere.

I’m literally planning a move because of stomach discomfort.


I've heard several similar reports, one from a medical doctor. (They cannot identify the mechanism either.)


When we lived in Asia our youngest daughter was diagnosed with rhinitis. When we moved back to the US it magically vanished. So there's that.


Yeah I don't understand this either, because the same is true in Latin American countries. What's worse is immigrants who never had allergies in their country of origin come here and develop all sorts of seasonal allergies.

Sell everything in the US and move to a cheaper country like India. You will have free health care.


I have aging parents in India, and I can tell you firsthand—healthcare there is far from cheap. In fact, prices have surged, and many people are now accustomed to the higher costs, thanks to rampant price gouging during the COVID pandemic.


In the AI/ChatGPT world that we are in, cooking up a neat resume is not that hard. But I agree, you are going to interview someone who did at least that part good, and worked a little hard to prepare for it.


Cooking up a neat resume has never been hard. Templates, free advice, paid services, friends and colleagues existed well before GPT.

The hard part of a resume is having the experiences to talk about. Either you've got it, or you lie, that hasn't changed.
