Hey
It’s Alex from oQQur here.

When I started oQQur, doing something different was my goal.
After years of experience with start-ups, I came to understand what did and did not work.

There are never two same start-ups. That’s what makes it hard to win multiple times. As vague as it sounds, the true winners don’t learn the mechanics of start-ups, but they learn how to navigate uncertainty and open up for luck.

What have I learned? The top priorities for a founder is to search a path of clarifying the uncertainties around the following:

A customer desire, goal, or need
A product or service that fulfill that need
A way to get those customers a rate lower than what the customer brings
It sounds pretty straightforward, but as usual, it’s way more nuanced.

It’s an art to be able to identify the customer, and their needs well enough to make a difference in their lives.
The solution? Really get to know your audience.
To be honest, meeting a massive amount of amazing people that care about the same problem is my favourite part.
However, it does come at a cost - managing calls, feedback, product features all at the same time gets overwhelming to say the least.

At this point, with oQQur, I have an incredible opportunity. I get to build a community around building my startup, get instant feedback from real people who care, and get to be accessible and transparent about every single step.
Every mistake. Every win. Everything.

Join me!

I want to invite you on this journey. Help me as I learn to navigate through the astounding creator economy market, while meeting passionate creators.
Here is what you can expect in near future:
I’ll be streaming most weekdays for 4-6 hours.

Join me as I:
Create my passion - oQQur.
Reach out and meet creators who might become part of oQQur.
Organize team meetings and behind the scenes development, like the design and decision making process. You can be involved in the process.
Randomly stroll around the city and discover Barcelona, which I still haven’t completely explored, even though I’ve lived here for a few years.
Watch new streamers appear, and observe them find their voice.
I would love to invite you two this journey with me, not as an observer, but as an active participant.

Ask HN: How do I successfully register a new Twitter account these days
I am trying to register a phone number on a newly created Twitter account using a German Vodafone cell phone number. I have taken multiple attempts to submit the number in the form per day, have even locked me out for 24 hours for trying to often, but I did not receive that verification code text message for a week!

The "didn't receive a code"-link just takes me back to the form to try over. The help pages do not cover that problem at all.

That newly created account is useless so far, because after login on any device/browser it immediately forwards to the phone number submit form. Questions arise about whether I am the only one who tries to register new Twitter accounts these days, because I could not find any recent clues on the webs about similar issues.

I asked @twitterSupport using another Twitter account but I have not gotten any reply so far [1]. "Here to help" my ass…

So I am here to ask whether you can point me to another way to actually reach someone at Twitter, or for any other helpful ideas. I need that account for work.

>> my father didn't allow me to use my bike for YEARS as a punishment for smashing my bike as a 10 year old

Seriously, being so strict to punish a 10yrs old kid for years is not a sign of a toxic personality? Parents suppose to build theirs kids character and not stomp on it to make them 'tough'.

toxic masculinity is not being manly man man. Its being insecure and lashing out at anyone who disagrees with you or is not 'with you'. Any father that thinks their kid misbehaving is somehow a personal attack.

“premature military exit from the nation”

…it has been almost 20 years
They are just asserting the intent, not the result.
That's a harsh punishment. What kind of effect did it have on you? I remember I biked to school at that age (~10-15 min). If I damaged one of my tools, such as my bike or my shoes, it'd look damaged, and I disliked that. But I had to cope with that. That was a punishment by itself.

I wasn't able to get a job as system administrator (even though I believe I'd liked it) because I can't program. I tried it various times, and the reason I always quit is because I get frustrated and get migraine symptoms. I tried C, Lua, Python (multiple times), and all I ended up being able to is some Unix kung-fu and shell scripting. Which seemed to be not good enough for system administration. It kind of feels like my failure in life, to be frank. Tho I'm happy I ended up with something else, IT security related.

I guess you mean EEG, right? I dont know good benchmarks to compare signal quality for these devices.. I think the biggest challenge to create such test is a fact that you cannot record data from 2 boards and single person simultaneously and need to collect a lot of data to handle run to run variability

Visually it seems like Unicorn from Gtec and Cyton from OpenBCI are good. But I have no quantitative metrics for it
In reality there are far fewer "orders" given in the military than in the civilian world. That ability is held in reserve. When people are stationed in places they might not want to be, often away from family, they dont want to hear direct orders on a daily basis. And remember too that everyone has multiple bosses. If everyone throws around direct orders then soon order A will conflicts with order B and the system starts to break down. They best way to keep everyone's respect is to issue as few direct orders as possible, and then only after extensive consultation with impacted parties.
They are betting on them in Japan, and they are using the olympic village as some kind of proof of concepts with both vehicles, but also residential energy production from hydrogen. And of course the Olympic torch will use hydrogen.

Toyota are also betting on hydrogen. This is the reason why, even though they were early with hybrids, they still haven't released any purely electric cars.
Wow. Can this be used to attack the printer.
> "The majority of users don't actually care" …

They don't care until it directly affects them personally somehow, and then suddenly they instantly forget that it happened because they allowed it to happen, and they make a huge noise about it as if it's the first time they heard about it.
This is terrible. A fine this small incentivizes this behavior.
Sorry for sort of OT, but my post on Reddit has been removed, and I hope that Twitter people might read this here.
FWIW. I’ve seen a lot of interest in Japan and Australia as well.

Toyota in particular seems to be betting big on hydrogen with a PHEV -> BEV transition as backup.
This is why broad averages aren't always the most useful statistic. The number of complete mirrors required to make the data trove fairly robust is much lower than the number of people in the world, and the prior commentor's qualifier was "people reading this", which is likely a biased sample and includes many people working in technology in the richest countries in the world. It's unlikely that said population's income is clustered around overall national averages, and only a relatively small number of outliers are required to set up adequate mirroring.
I think this is the approach Boeing took with the 737 Max
We're not at the level of, say, > 50% market adoption of EVs.

Getting electricity to a battery EV at scale is somewhat of a "last mile" problem, and I'm not sure if upgrading our grids to handle this will be cheaper than rolling out hydrogen infra.

Consider that you can ship hydrogen on a truck to existing pump stations (maybe not as efficient) as we do with gas right now.

I have no data to back this up, just the handwavy arguments above...
The UK Government is also looking hard at H2 and there's a lot of industrial activity in the area. Just today, Centrica announced a £1.6Bn investment in Hydrogen storage.
Yeah Germany, Japan, South Korea, UK, China, Australia, France, India, California and so on seeing it as the future of cars.

"It is generally considered more ecological than electric, because of much lesser environmental footprint than required for producing batteries.
Another advantage would be bigger driving range and faster refuelling."

And the biggest advantage: you're cleaning the air while driving from particles which harm your health. <- This reason alone is a key factor. Have a look here: https://youtu.be/ormfLJmWGC8

People complained about the emission cheating regarding volkswagen. So everybody who did has to be pro hydrogen car. Because its real emission free. not like a battery car
Here is a rather detailed study on total emission effects of EV lifecyle: https://theicct.org/sites/default/files/publications/EV-life...

"An electric vehicle’s higher emissions during the manufacturing stage are paid off after only 2 years compared to driving an average conventional vehicle, a time frame that drops to about one and a half years if the car is charged using renewable energy."

I get what you’re trying to say, but then how come frontend developers tend to get paid less than backend devs, who in turn get paid less than devops engineers?

Considering how hard it can be, EE is seriously underpaid compared to software.
Actually, I was trying to find out the number of programmers world-wide the other day, and many US-based analysis were saying the same thing: "programmer jobs in the US will drop in the next 10 years as jobs move abroad".

For example [1], but many more with the same gist.

DARPA funding open source projects seems like a pretty decent idea to avoid them being influenced by foreign interests. They already provide a lot of funding to Tor so it's not completely out of the realm of possibility.
Amen, the obsession with putting LEDs on everything is infuriating - especially standby LEDs.

This is compounded with the newer super bright LEDs. I've got a Asus chromebook that lights up a dark room every couple of seconds when it's charging. It's served as a great beater laptop for the past 5 years yet that LED has never once been of use to me but pissed me off dozens of times as I've had to get out of bed to cover it when in a hotel room somewhere.
In my country it is the seller, not the manufacturer, who provides warranty service. And if the thing stops functioning in a way that is under warranty, then I, the consumer, can chose which outcome I want: money back, repair, or new device.

Even the most hydrogen positive environmentalists don't think hydrogen makes sense for cars. Those pushing h2 cars either have natural gas interests, or an extreme attachment to fueling.

By far the best current assessment of how we will use hydrogen as energy transport I have found:

Ask HN: Are Covid Vaccines “Leaky”?
I've been reading a bit about Marek's disease this weekend. It's an interesting case where the vaccine for Marek's disease has inadvertently allowed highly virulent strains of Marek disease to propagate causing its fatally rate to reach 100% in unvaccinated birds.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marek%27s_disease

My understanding is that COVID vaccines do limit spread, but as can be seen from forums like Reddit's "COVID19 positive" (https://www.reddit.com/r/COVID19positive/) many people who are fully vaccinated do still contract COVID and health officials have stated that it's possible to still spread COVID in these cases.

This seems to be a growing issue as more recent variants seem to have adapted to circumvent existing vaccines and we're seeing growing numbers of people now become infected despite being fully vaccinated. Of course, the argument is that if you're fully vaccinated then you're likely to have milder symptoms, but as with the vaccine for Marek's disease we can assume this would then enviably reduce selection pressure against highly virulent strains.

I'm really hoping someone can explain to me why this isn't a concern. Admittedly the person who made me aware of this is fairly conspiratorial, but so far I have no good argument against what they're suggesting could happen.

Hydrogen will always leak from any container.

Clean hydrogen is difficult to make, giving an opportunity to the oil industry to easily make cheap hydrogen from refineries, which is not carbon neutral.

I'm not sure there is enough platinum in the world to make all those cars. Mining platinum might cause additional carbon emissions.

Hydrogen is very dangerous because it's highly explosive. Gas is safer in that regard.
If you disagree with the essay then you could at least offer a counterpoint. Because Roman history does seem to be pretty damn white-washed, especially in far-right circles.

I remember reading blog posts from browser extension maintainers, at least 3 or 4 times, who spoke out about regularly being approached by shady buyers for exactly that reason. Unless they were all making things up, I'd say it may indeed be something that is happening. I don't remember the sources, but I guess you're capable of using a search engine too.
It has little to do with will, and much more with building a scientific career.

Unless you meant that the way academia is structured is the problem here. Because it is and it leads to these excesses. Publishing, itself an acknowledged problem, is being addressed. But slowly, very slowly. Because the incentives in academia do not point to risk taking.
I assume that the vast majority of car owners is quite sensitive to cost. If all things considered the cost of hydrogen is similar to that of an BEV then it make sense that both will exist next to each other.

On the other hand, if hydrogen proves to be a lot more expensive than a BEV, then you expect fewer hydrogen refueling stations, which makes hydrogen less attractive.
What do you mean "used by whistleblowers" ?

> Anyone knows if there is more known about this new owner

They are a known entity (owners of the well-known Ultimate Guitar site), and their previous purchases make it clear what their likely motivation is with Audacity: to make money in a somewhat standard way among startups these days.

They are likely adding trackers so that they can sell ads within audacity and improve their ad targeting on their actual sites. They will likely add premium features to Audacity and sell some kind of subscription service. I wouldn't be surprised to see the same kind of dark patterns/false urgency that you see in the Ultimate Guitar app.

I think that people should be legitimately concerned, but their behavior is no worse than 90% of the startups discussed on HN (not to say that's a good thing, but just to give perspective)
> The 20Mbit the EFF is complaining about is already good enough for one 4K video stream. Still, only one, and only if that 20Mbit is an actually achievable transfer rate rather than a theoretical cap. 100Mbit would be much more comfortable, especially for multi-user households.

Focusing explicitly on "20Mbit ... is already good enough for oen 4K video stream", this is only true if the peak rate is 20Mbit, or if it's not a real time application, where buffering can be applied to smooth out that stream.

Try streaming a 4K RDP session on 20Mbit, and watch that experience degrade rapidly during any periods of high motion on the remote machine.

Averages only work for workloads that can be smoothed. For any real time applications, what matters most is the peak rate. For example, a single 4K RDP session can peak at over 80Mbit. Even at 50Mbit, the session will become unusable during peak motion periods, in the worst possible way: you lose the content, and there's a delay before you're able to interact with the session in real time again.

So yes, 20Mbit is good enough for lowest common denominator stuff, but there's a lot of value being ignored outside of watching TV.
Sounds helpful. Any link you recommend to those unfamiliar with it that outlines the concept with helpful examples?
They did release BEV series.

>Getting electricity to a battery EV at scale is somewhat of a "last mile" problem, and I'm not sure if upgrading our grids to handle this will be cheaper than rolling out hydrogen infra.

I read recently that the UK just needs to go back to 2002 levels of electricity generation to cover the whole fleet switching to electric.

There are some problem areas, generally people who live in dense urban areas without an allocated parking space but I don't think that is insurmountable.
API with NestJS #39. Reacting to Stripe events with webhooks
As for 3: BMW, like most of the transportation industry, is unwilling to make the massive investment in battery production required to profitably be able to switch their production from fossil to renewable. This reluctance obviously extends to hydrogen-electric drivetrains as well, if that option was even competitive.

Since they're stuck in a classic Innovator's Dilemma situation, they vainly hope that the rest of the world will stand still until their subcontractors are magically able to produce all components required (at prices that leave them competitive!) to switch their entire production to renewable energy. Some hand-waving around technologies that are promising but "not quite there yet" is a central part of this strategy, as it allows them to sell their reluctance to investors. Just sitting there obviously doing nothing would make it too obvious.

They've been doing this for 10 years now, so there's really nothing new to see. Meanwhile, the "electric-car lobby" keeps profitably producing mass-market vehicles and exponentially increasing production capacity, doing the hard work of actually building things in volume that haven't been built before.

The market cap of Tesla implies that this is hardly a controversial stance today, although there is obviously still significant uncertainty.
Thats not a reason to fudge with the definitions. The existence of sandboxes doesnt mean there are no more pdf exploits. There still are and sandboxes dont mitigate it entirely.

There is also more ways then just turning off your machine. Its needlessly oversimplifying complex topics. Topics that are very interesting and have severe implications. Especially if we are talking about state level espionage.

So in short, no you are wrong. PDF exploits are still a thing. You made unjustified assumptions.

Reading my post it sounds confrontational. Thats not my intent.
