A norwegian startup focusing on helping people out of debt has hidden 1,078,218NOK in the Norwegian forrest. 1,078,218 represents each norwegian citizen with some form of consumer debt, and thus a marketing means of getting someone out of debt, while creating a marketing stunt.

The money is chained and locked while a live video feedback shows the money container. https://horde.no/jakten/

I figured some of the best ways to figure out where the box is located would be:

1: When does the sun go up or down (but the camera deactivates its nightvision at 0800, so it is hard to tell how bright it is).

2: note down when it starts raining and compare it with weather reports. Done consistency, then one would have a heat map that could pin point a region.

3: Animals (this morning a bird was recorded) could potentially narrow in where in the country, although i doubt that will be very effective.

4: Plants and trees: Identifying what is in the view could help.

5: Ideally, from a technical perspective then one would be able to pinpoint the ip address of the camera feed, but i am not clever enough to hack my way to something like that.

First off, HN provides me with loads of inspiration and new knowledge. I often feel that being a part of HN helps me stay connected with the newest form of knowledge. Something that i previously got from the university community.

Anyhow,

I need help rediscovering an article that was on the top 30 list within the past 6 months.

I cant remember what the article was called, but the message stood out to me, and i almost daily think about it. I hoping you guys can help me find it again.

The article was written by a software company founder. Not a massive company, but they scaled up. They built some form of software, and one of his main points was that all these smaller clients bought off-the-shelf software. Soon, larger clients approached and wanted the software. I just remember that the author wrote that once you start providing software to larger clients, that what the software to be customised, then you stop being a software developer and start being a consultant.

I seem to remember that it was published to medium, but i cant for the life of me find it again.

I often find that I nod approvingly when people present their point of view. I notice I do this as a sign that I understand what they are communicating, but I often find that I do not agree with their points.

So, how do you signify/communicate that you understand what people say, without showing that you agree with them?
