Ask HN: How do you deal with Adsense and the GDPR?
I am not sure, how courts in Europe will judge when it comes to the uses of Adsense. With the recent judgements regarding Google Fonts and Google Analytics, it seems possible that the use of Google Adsense is also impacted by the GDPR.

What do the publishers of HN do regarding this?

Tell the user in a privacy policy "We display Google Ads and that means data about you gets send to Google"?

Show a popup when the user arrives? If so, which options do you provide? See the site with ads or go away? Or do you offer an ad free version too?

Ask HN: What do you think about Micro-payments?
I was wondering what HN community thinks about Micro-payments?

Are entrepreneurs born or made?
It’s a combination. There are some gifted entrepreneurs who have an intuitive sense of how products, customers, and markets will collide three to five years out. They bring intellectual leadership combined with an extraordinary feel for how markets evolve.

In all cases, however, these individuals are among the hardest-working executives in the portfolio. The balance between optimism, candidness, intellectual honesty, and integrity results in a virtuous set of characteristics that are shared by all exceptional entrepreneurs.
Show HN: A (Naive) Secure Captive Portal. Thoughts?
https://gist.github.com/theprojectsomething/a8406ba6be3ed3335fb3a2e5efea4b41
I cobbled this together as part of a wlan project a few years ago. I am not an Ubuntu / networking stack native and there was a decent amount of research involved to solve across platforms, browsers, etc. Following a HN discussion[1] last week I thought it might be worth extracting the relevant juicy bits into a gist.

Separate to this was an OS-specific landing page flow that explained how to "accept" the captive portal (with overlays / pointers in the correct part of the screen). I haven't included this but might add some screenshots per device when I get a chance.

Thoughts / criticisms / improvements most appreciated.

Survey: Research to too much sitting under programmers and developers
https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1ikP2AbXESAk9nAhZKyZuekO6DQlu8ASav7oAdJauVTg/viewform
For my last year "Communication & Multimedia Design" at the University of Applied Sciences in Amsterdam I'm doing research to the risks of sitting too much in the target group programmers. The research will contribute to the creation of an app and hopefully my graduation. The questionnaire will take about 5 minutes of your time, and will help me immensely!

Thanks in advance!

So, I'm asking HN for any suggestion to a University in Europe, Latin America or Asia, that you would recommend?

Over the last decade, I travelled to over 65 countries.

Ask HN: Crossing borders and shipping computer equipment. 
I'm moving from Canada to the mid-west next month. I have to find a way of getting my desktop, server and three monitors from Boston to Western Michigan. Things I worry about: 1. Cost (bootstrapped) 2. Having my package go through xray machine, or other magnetic machines and corrupting my hard drive/destroying components. (I assume it wouldn't but I don't know what`s being used at their depots)

Finally, I will be crossing the border with this equipment and I have heard stories about customs having issues with people travelling with lots of computer equipment. Any thoughts on this? I mean, nothing I am carrying is sensitive and I would even allow them to go through my computer if it would speed things up - but I just don't want that hassle.

Some other bits of info that might be worthwhile to know. I am an American citizen, born in Canada and have both citizenships. I have an American passport, and will have a SSN at the time I cross the border. However, all my other identification will be Canadian. Thoughts, or ideas to make this process easier?

Show HN: Terminordle (Multiplayer Terminal Wordle)
https://github.com/HP4k1h5/terminordle
I am as enthused by https://www.powerlanguage.co.uk/wordle/ as other remix authors. terminordle is a relatively simple websockets-based server+client package for "wordle" in the terminal.

The server is an attempt at "zero-trust", which for this project means no logins or accounts (see README.md#serve). All user names are randomly assigned and users and sessions are ephemeral. There is no database, all socket and session data is stored in the node runtime memory and disappears with exit, other than any logs (see README.md#privacy-policy).

If you wish to host a public server please be mindful of the MIT license. This software, despite its efforts, may not protect you from any kind of malicious attack. The server I currently have running (listed in README.md) is running latest `main` and is subject to the same provisions enumerated throughout the documentation.

If you do still wish to host a public server, please consider leaving your server address and and port (i.e. address:port, no ws:// prefix) in the comments here or in the issues in github. Thank you in advance to any early, brave souls willing to run some terminordle. Any feedback on the code, its documentation, or its operation would be greatly appreciated.

Some current server limitations include a less than ideal word-list, a hard-coded limit of 1,000 simultaneous websocket connections, lack of configurability etc.

It would probably only take modest adaptation on the client side to run a session in the browser or elsewhere, feel free to use as you wish. Contributions, bug reports and comments are welcome, here or in the issues section of the github repository.

Special thanks to Josh Wardle (https://github.com/powerlanguage) and all the other wordle remixers out there.

Thank you and good luck!

Ask HN: Do entrepreneurship is brute forcing? 
Hi, I'm a young and inspiring entrepreneur. I need advise. I saw lots of big businesses which is just launched by execution of arbitrary idea. Entrepreneurs are executing every idea (like brute forcing) just with a hope that it will work and strangely sometimes it works. Github, intragram etc. is the biggest example. I saw many people who are following this path and are successful.

Do I need to follow the same path to becoming successful. Like many other people, the everyday new idea comes in my mind. But i won't accept it because it is not big enough. Is it worth spending my time on such thing.

I like to ask this thing for high-profile people (like PG) and who had launched/working on big market. If the idea is good and not demanding much time or resource do I need to launch it?

This question is striking in my mind when google switched off their google-reader. And, I read this quote
