Low Cost Mini PCs 641 by mjcurl | 298 comments on Hacker News. While searching for mini PCs for my home server, I figured I'd use the eBay API to find the cheapest ones. Inspired by diskprices.com, I built a static site using Eleventy and a python script that uses regex to parse the data. I tried to include as many filters as possible like OS, Wifi, HDMI etc. I would like to add power usage, noise levels, PCIe slots but that data is hard to find. Please let me know if you have any feedback / suggestions. Thanks!

Launch HN: Airhart Aeronautics (YC S22) – A modern personal airplane 678 by n_ermosh | 541 comments on Hacker News. Hey Hacker News! I’m Nikita, founder of Airhart Aeronautics ( https://ift.tt/86XanNk ). We are building an airplane for people who don’t fly airplanes. The goal is to make flying as easy as driving a car—while maintaining a high bar for safety. Here’s a video that shows a bit of our hardware and quite a bit of our software: https://youtu.be/PGJUGUceu8A In the US, trips that are 50-300 miles are almost all done by car because that distance is too short for commercial airlines and too far for public transportation. Thanks to the Wright Brothers we've had aerial transport for over 100 years. The US has over 19,000 airports, and large commercial airplane technology has developed to the point that the planes practically fly themselves. If we already have the infrastructure and the technology, why isn't everyone flying planes? The problem is that small airplane techn
