No one is saying we should bar all regulation. But we do need to be careful, and _very_ knowledgeable and intentful, when we pass legislation in this field.
Would you rather have everyone who can afford a car drive around without any oversight?

Building Code for websites is something I would be willing to support, e.g. no plain-text password storage allowed.
You can't have it both ways. You can't have a car-friendly city that is also great for cycling and public transit.

Besides, gratuitous destruction of that "convenience" is good for society and the planet. The obesity rate in America should be proof enough that cars are bad for you.
#3 is not specific to Germans, it depends mainly on the audience. The more technical it is, the more likely it is to generate non-trivial and meaningful support requests.

Also the fact that you don't sell at discount likely filters out the bulk of self-entitled users that tend to stress support with trivia.

And your summary is 100% spot on - catering to a more savvy audience and aggressively culling other users is a good way to keep support manageable (and even pleasant!)
Everything is a narrative. The problem in this day and age is we can't agree on compatible narratives. There are truths, but there is no objective political truth.
I don't think most critics are doubting quantum mechanics. The question is whether quantum computers can reasonably (as an engineering challenge, as a factor of cost, etc) be scaled and can be adapted to take on important real-world problems better than classical computer systems in practice.

We are getting more and more proof points and eliminating a lot of the doubt but this has not been shown yet.

So it did.

I maintain that simply being at a border crossing should not be grounds for detaining, but I do recognise that while a competent border crossing would make it impossible for someone to simply walk into the sterile "crossing zone" (and in airports such zones are usually pretty solid), this is not exactly a department known for competency.

Edit: Now that I consider it, it would seem really incompetent to just not notice which direction someone came from. This would allow people to cross the border all day with impunity. Pure speculation, but I bet they knew exactly which way he came from; they just felt like hassling some muslim looking guy without ID because they could (although I recognise that in the US, carrying a driving license everywhere seems to be a weird cultural phenomenon).

The hypocrisy of Google notwithstanding, I'm not sure why something being included in Unicode should have any bearing on its societal acceptance or consequently its age rating.

The Swastika exists as a Unicode character, yet is outlawed in Germany, along with other Nazi-associated symbols (Strafgesetzbuch section 86a).
Thank you for the insight (esp coming from security expert :)).

I hit up a bunch of forums where tesla owners hang out , ask for help like best spots to sell thier teslas without being tracked and i listed for them for free and asked for $50 when / if they found a buyer. This was back in 2016. It was all the honor system. I actually didn't plan anything. I just kept experimenting over and over and over jacking up the price / testing all day and night. I think there was a LOT of luck too.
Some teachers give out bathroom passes that if you do not use them for the semester they can be turned in for extra credit. Extra credit for holding your bladder. Educational value: zero
I don't really get what the line of argument is here, exactly. The CIA & FBI engaged in massive abuses in the past, including psychological and biological experimentation on unwitting US subjects, so therefore we should be blasé about their ongoing mass surveillance program (which, incidentally, has the potential for much more wide-reaching political and societal damage than anything that's come before it)?

I guess one could also argue for calm on the basis that the Stasi once existed and these days East Germany is an okay place.

And the solutions to these issues are perfectly well known: the intelligence agencies need to be curtailed and reined in, and their ability to indefinitely store massive reams of data about every private citizen brought to an end.

See? That's the precise problem with car advocates. How many times in your _life_ are you having a baby? How many times in your _life_ is your mother dying?

Just take the car in these situations, that's not the problem. The problem is people justifying 90% of the car usages (which could be replaced by bicycle or public transportation) by being snarky about the remaining 10% (and I'm being generous with 10%).

Show HN: Equal UI – Vue 2 TypeScript Components Library
Technical engineer looking for a businessman.

The EspUSB is a WiFi-controlled keyboard and mouse. A small dongle fits completely inside a USB port, and creates a WiFi network that you can connect to from your phone. It shares a web page, where you can drag the cursor around, or type in text, and have it appear directly on the computer. A video of it in action is on YouTube. [1]

The original open-source design is by [cnlohr], and is available on Github [2]. It was around from 2016, and I waited patiently for someone to manufacture it so I could buy it on eBay/Tindie/AliExpress/etc. Nobody built it.

Finally I studied the design files, figured out the BOM from the schematics, guessed a load of manufacturing parameters, and got PCBWay to build me 3 prototypes. They work!

I've since updated the firmware to let me type in Chinese, Korean, Japanese, Russian, Arabic, Thai, etc - not only English and German. This is particularly important for foreigners in such countries, where it's easier to type on a virtual keyboard on a phone, instead of putting stickers all over a laptop keyboard.

Now I'd like to order more EspUSB devices, so that other people can get them too. 8 people have expressed an interest so far, and one of them wanted 10 units. I can afford to buy 100 units at $25 each from the factory, if I'm confident that I'll have either the money or the devices at the end. I do not want to make a profit on it; if you do, you can keep the money. If you're willing to handle the business side (FCC/CE certification issues, tax, import duties, etc) and assure me that I won't be sued, then I can get you the devices.

Then I don't know which crackpot "interpretation" (that doesn't even agree with the experiments, unlike MWI etc) you are referring to, but you can rest assured that nothing in these experiments or condensed matter physics in general depend on it.
Sony and Microsoft sell the consoles at a loss in order to create a huge installed base to sell games for. They make money selling games, but definitely they are bringing way more to the table than apple, that not only don't sell their devices at a loss, but has the highest margins on the hardware business.
Optimizing Data-Intensive Computations in Existing Libraries w/Split Annotations
I am not a pilot nor do I have any familiarity with the workings of aircraft (so please take this as pure speculation until a pilot can come in), but I believe the ventilation comes through high-temperature bleed air. The bleed air is dehumidified, cooled through a heat exchanger, then fed into the cockpit. If the ECS went haywire, one failure mode be to not dehumidify the air, and also to run the heat exchanger at full blast (i.e., the "thermostat" basically broke).

EDIT: according to https://www.navy.mil/local/pes/Comprehensive%20Review%20PE.p... , ventilation is provided by mixing high temperature bleed air with cooled, dehumidified bleed air in whatever proportion is needed to keep the cockpit at the correct temperature. So assuming the cooled air is reaches -30C or so, an ECS failure that stopped mixing in any hot air would cause the event described.
To be honest, The customers do that now. they share my site whenever they see someone looking for the best spot to sell a Tesla. I don't sell personal info to marketers. I also have a guy to write a blog post a few times a week.
When the Strava heatmap issue came to light i recall seeing many tracks on military runways and wondered, "who's out there doing laps on the tarmac? So this makes sense now.
to be honest, he's made me appreciate Ben Shapiro which didn't feel incredibly likely going in.

Prior to that, my experience with Shapiro was the stupid videos people would share on Facebook of him "OWNING the libs." So I expected an absolutely terrible interview where I was going to be disgusted with the guy constantly. Granted, I don't agree with him on a lot, much at all really, but when he's just talking out his views on points, I appreciated the candor as to reasoning for various things on his end.

My takeaway from it, outside of the "for the clicks" YouTube videos that are shared, is that while I may not agree with him on a lot, when he is explaining his points and not going for the jugular, I feel like he isn't questioning my intelligence by tossing various falsehoods at me constantly that I then have to go look up. Instead, it is typically analysis of a situation followed by a conclusion I don't personally reach typically.

And had it not been for the Shapiro interviews on JRE, I'd have just continued to outright ignore this guy as another "provocateur" out for the clicks and shares.
Ask HN: What tool do you use for managing customer software deliveries?
I run a small software agency where we write software for other software companies. I wanted to ask how other companies are managing their communication regarding requirements, timelines, deadlines and progress with their customers, particularly when their customers are software companies.

Ideally, our customers should be able to:

1. Collaborate with us on requirements and communicate deadlines on their side if any.
2. See the timelines for deliveries, including deliverables and how they relate to their requirements.
3. See the current progress on the project.
4. See any blockers or deliverables on their side.
5. Changes made to the requirements, deadlines, deliverables and timelines over time.
6. Have many stakeholders who might have different concerns or share some concerns in a project.

So far, we have tried using a combination of these tools to manage this:

1. Slack: For quick catch-up, queries and updates.
2. Email: For longer or more formal conversation, particularly on the business side.
3. Google Docs: For communicating requirements and commenting on them.
4. Googe Sheets: For timelines and progress.

This requires a lot of manual work and yet it always results in missed issues and lost messages.

What is the HN community using to solve these issues?
Thank you. It maybe a bug i told my dev. I am working on the v2 so should work out some of the kinks on the site.
It's a good point. Parking should be allowed only on privately-owned land. Look at how it's done in Japan: you're actually not allowed to buy a car if you can't prove you have a place to park it.
OP was clear that it is not about money, wasn’t s/he?
The first paragraph from the readme is a better description:

> This tool filters Google Maps places based on an input query and exports them to a CSV file.
>Why do we use Git at all? Because it is our most important tool for tracking down the source of bugs in our code. Git is our safety net.

I disagree with git as a bug tracking tool, it's a distributed code repository. It's closer to google docs than it is to an IDE debugger or a system log.

I also disagree with the idea that "tracking down the source of bugs" has anything to do with quality or a "safety net."

Can someone please explain to me where this kind of "commit blame" culture comes from? And what the point is? What is the next step that happens after you identify the "offending commit"? I don't understand why you wouldn't just open a new PR to fix the bug and move the fuck on with your life? What business value is there in this type of exercise to specifically identify which git commit "caused a bug"?
Top Reasons for Mobile Enterprise App Outages

Yes I am. It’s nice for all the reasons people beat the drum about, but the biggest one for me is convenience. Driving and parking in a city is a nightmare. Biking is marginally slower than taking the bus and by comparison biking grants much more freedom. Frankly, I think it’s insane that anyone who regularly bikes would not wear a helmet. I push back so hard against this notion of not wearing a helmet because of how catastrophic a tiny incident can be.
Yeah, the TSA can be rigid like that. They did the same thing to my octogenarian grandmother (we think her hair spray caused it), and now she refuses to fly.
> "500K users, that's quite an achievement as well, pretty solid!"

Not quite :) As, majority of them are from tier-2 countries. Purchasing digital goods is not part of their culture.

> "But again, just from my gut feeling: I wonder if there's a way for you to REDUCE the number of active users and turn free users into loyal paid users."

Thank you for your suggestion! What you have mentioned are valid.

Maybe at some point, I want to introduce "ads" + "subscription" model. However, this is a competitive landscape. Most of the similar apps are using ads model. At this moment, I want to offer a compelling reason, for user to use my app instead of others. Luckily, this landscape has high stickiness, because user generated personal data are stored within the app. If they use the app for long enough, the cost is high, when they want to switch to other apps.

So, my hypothesis is that, as long as the free users are using my app, there will always be an opportunity to monetize from them, one day.

Yes. You're right. Currently, there is stress to do marketing. I need to keep attracting new users especially from tier-1 countries, so that new users' one-time purchase can help to cover my monthly living expense. I try to control the CPI cost to USD0.10 for Germany, Japan, Korea. I didn't invest for US, because the high cost is not justifiable. I do notice higher cost is required, if the tier-1 countries are English speaking country. My guess is that, less language barrier, will encourage more players in the market, and drive up the advertising cost.

> Absolutely! I wrote probably over 200,000 words and invested a lot of time in improving my writing skills

I really wish I can build a long term traffic like what you have done. Can you recommend me a publishing platform to publish all writings?

Currently, I am already using google sites (Because I do not have website design skill), to build a landing page to introduce the app features, hosing FAQ, and showing video on how to use the app. But, I don't think that is the suitable platform to host long written article.

When you write your writing, do you need to hire some graphics designer, to help to decorate your writing with nice graphic assets, to attract more readers?

Thank you!

We're not talking about password managers here, we're talking about spelling checkers. If a spelling checker can read passwords, then Firefox has a problem that that has nothing to do with spelling checkers or password managers. You cannot safely use any plugin.

Now, it's possible that Firefox does indeed have this very serious problem, I don't know. But I think it's much more likely that the FF engineers did the obvious thing and excluded password fields from being accessed by plugins by default if they can access text fields. If this were not the case, the complaint would not have been, "FF doesn't have native spell checking", the complaint would have been, "FF has this gaping security hole through which you can drive an M1 Abrams tank."
It does, and that is _one_ way in which to export a single node--assuming we're all using this Indieweb blog software. But I have heavy doubts that such software will become the norm, or that it will be the expectation of whatever data schema this bill ends up supporting.

I appreciate the theory of your approach and how it can be used, and while it does directly respond to the immediate statement I made, I don't think it realistically captures how my statement applies to the broader context, when and if this law becomes implemented.
In this case, the job appears to be the hobby. Just because you get paid for something doesn't exclude it from being a hobby.

I also use IntelliJ instead of VSCode for Typescript and my reason is ecosystem. I write PHP, Java, TS/JS/Node, some python, and I might need to look at some C code from time to time. I also use DataGrip as my DB browser so I am heavily invested (knowledge, not $$$) in the JetBrains ecosystem. My hotkeys and muscle memory work everywhere and I love switching between languages but keeping all my UI/UX the exact same.

I've tried the "build an IDE from plugins on top of a lightweight editor" before and I just don't think you can beat the interoperability of IDEA. I can trust the first-party plugins 100% and use them without worry. That wasn't my experience using other editors. That's no shade towards people who use and like VSCode, more power to you! Really! It's just not for me and I feel very at home in any language using IDEA Ultimate.

I just switched jobs and the new job doesn't pay for developers IDE's (yet) like my last job did. I didn't for a second consider using anything but IDEA. In fact I missed the "Individual"/"Organizations" distinction and even considering the "For Organizations" pricing ($499 1st year, $399 2nd year, $299 3rd year+) it still didn't phase me. I really feel like I get that much value out of these tools. That said I was happy to pay FAR less as an individual.
It's only "inevitable" because so many people are proscribing the boundaries of political and legislative action on the issue by discussing it with this sense of fatalistic unavoidability. The mere existence of this technology does not imply that the NSA & CIA have to construct a massive data center in Utah which stores all internet traffic forever -- that is a political choice.
Not to mention the lifetime cost of training a crew of two up to U.S. Navy standards. Lose one E/A-18G, you lose two very expensive and hard-to-replace people along with it.

I've recently landed in a managerial role. If there's one thing I've learned is that your primary role is to shelter the people under you from all the shit that's coming from above (like that famous comic of the birds on a pole pooping on the ones at the bottom.)

If your boss asks to deliver an _unreasonable request_ by tomorrow, your job is not to make sure it's delivered on time, your job is to say "No."

Might seem obvious but very few managers I've worked under learned that lesson, that's the reason managers are seen as being useless. A good manager promotes a healthy workplace.

I haven't kept up with it, but I used to read https://randsinrepose.com — some interesting insight from a software engineering manager.

In the future it could be as simple as visiting their website and clicking allow when the site requests bluetooth access.
I think the terrain may play a part in it. As far as I know, the Netherlands is generally flat, where I live it's nothing but hills, people tend to wear helmets here, it's also the law, though I've never heard of it really being enforced. I've personally had a couple good falls going down hill where my helmet saved my head.
