Every scrum team I've ever been on fell into that pattern eventually. Companies adopted Scrum because it became the trendy way to signal that you're a modern company. Not because of any actual commitment to its framework.

In reality, Scrum went from "empower engineers" to "allow managers to micromanage their employees even more, but we call it Agile so you can't push back against it because then you're challenging the orthodoxy."

In this case I think the bikeshedding is warranted.

I agree, the name seems antithetical to the concept that the brand really needs to get across, of a solid, trustworthy organisation serving as a proxy for obtaining legally valid signatures.

There’s nothing wrong with leading with the marketing message that this is a cheaper solution than the competition but the brand of the service still needs to evoke trust.

Luckily it looks like they have a bit of time prior to launch to consider whether this is something they may want to change.
"There is little evidence of such analysis being suppressed"

Mainly because they have a huge debt-pile. Had Hamdi had chosen to raise equity it would be profitable, albeit with a smaller ownership (typical in tech, no so much in food companies).

All in all, great company and congrats to this milestone

An incredible level of polish and ease of use.
But you can slow it down by making more v4 address space available.

I'm of the general opinion that doing so would be a really bad idea. Let's focus our efforts on v6, not on efforts to delay v6.
> Microsoft this week confirmed that it is forcing the Edge browser in specific scenarios. Moreover, the company is taking this action even if customers have a third-party browser like Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox set as their default browser.

Isn't that exactly what the word "force" already implies?
There are hundreds of free e-signature websites, why would I pay you 25 cents over them?

DocuSign has a brand behind it that pushes legalities of e-signatures and a huge base where if you say you signed with DocuSign people know what you mean.
>It's not so hard, it's just normal food that has always existed and has always been a part of my diet anyway.

It is quite hard for those of us who cut our teeth on processed food, where teams of food scientists have tweaked the formula to create the most crave able version of every food. That's why these meat substitutes are quite appealing.
I was skeptical at first, but your comment convinced me to take a look. It really is much easier and cleaner, and having it run in the cloud is amazing!

Nice job!
Yes, everyone I know, in my age range, has moved to France, Switzerland, Canada, etc.

We all want to retire in Portugal, but it seems there are few employment opportunities unless you know the right people.

I'm sure "retirement" is the only growth industry in Portugal these days.
It provides regulatory pressure to make unsubscribing as easy as possible. Those costs are entirely absent if customers can click a button. Otherwise, if the regulation merely prescribes that there has to be a button, there is little consequence if the button doesn't work, or you have to jump through 50 hoops to find it like in cookie banners. The Swedish model ensures that if your button is unsatisfactory, you'll be legally obliged to pay heed to any random letter, phone call, email, or indeed even napkin that comes in.

It's a simple incentive.
I think this could be part of their reaction, but a bigger part is a natural inclination to belittle people who claim to have a moral High Ground or superiority.

In my experience, begin to frame things as a personal choice that they made without implying judgment on others simply don't get the same response
No, but he is in that chain of authority, and I'm not and if he passes on advice based on what he knows in general and what he knows about me I take it that he's not doing that because he wants to diminish the size of his practice.

I could read the research papers and the guidelines, but for that I would first need a medical degree in the relevant (sub)fields, figure out who is and who isn't telling the truth/stacking the deck/fudging the data/angling for funding and so on and then finally I'd have to weigh those papers and all of their contradictions and arrive at some conclusion. The chances of me getting that wrong are just as high as the chances of my GP debugging a piece of software by reading papers about debugging.

For rare diseases the job of a GP is not to diagnose but to pass you on to someone who can. You also have the right to a second opinion here in case you don't trust the advice that you are getting and finally, you can ask for arbitrage if you are then still not happy.

That said, plenty of errors are made, but I don't think the software industry has any right to speak about mistakes made in other fields, our own house has been on fire for the last three decades in that respect and the only thing we've done to deal with it is to avow any responsibility.
Love to see tech devoted to improving the lives of developers. This has been a pain point for me for so long.
> Anybody saying this is a response to recent anti-trust headlines doesn't understand

Or doesn't understand new regulatory threats from Right-To-Repair, which already has at least one state that is moving to legalize full R2R (MA).

I agree with the rest though, that this can just be a new revenue stream for them.
This is a bad idea. In the way of background, I worked as an ops engineer (MCSE and CNE) in the early to mid 90s migrating from IPX to TCP/IP. Then as a developer from 1998. Then as a tech entrepreneur from 2003 onwards. I've created highly scalable and very popular applications and am currently the CEO of Defiant Inc which is a cybersecurity company that employs 40 and protects over 4 million websites.

Please don't do this.

1. You're using a labor intensive bandaid instead of solving the fundamental underlying issue. Apply this energy to IPv6 adoption rather than building a faster horse.

2. You're going to patch OS's, but the net is powered by a bunch of old unmaintained gear and reality will not match your expectations. Look at the number of vulnerable routers in developing countries for an example of unmaintained gear.

3. The problems around what you're doing are going to manifest in destructive ways. Primarily users of the new block being unreachable, and users of the new block being DDoS'd when they are reachable.

Furthermore, I don't think this brief draft fully explores the consequences of making this change. It would require real-world testing of a lot of gear in the wild, in combination with backbone router behavior, to fully understand the consequences of doing this. The proposal shifts the responsibility of doing that testing, or accepting the consequences, onto operational staff and teams, which is unfair and creates a lot of work and late nights for those teams.

I'd also point out there is a non-zero risk that the global intelligence community will take an interest in acquiring, or commandeering, some of this address space to capture the junk traffic it will receive once live.

This isn't unused address space. It is, and should remain, unusable address space.

Vegans do have a good point, however, for the majority of the population food is just something that they crave, eat for taste, or because it is thrust in their face daily by corporations. They aren't doing it for the sake of killing, and therefore the point that vegans make isn't something people consider nor care for.

I personally think your diet should be based on nutrition, with morals and the environment following a close second.
The article says that iodized table salt doesn't work, and isn't optimistic about kosher salt either.

Docusign exists because the mobile os makers decided that the file system must be hidden from the user. In my Mac/pc it would take 30” to open a pdf attachment, sign it and send back the copy.

On my phone it’s painful to do the same task.

So we did it to ourselves. Don’t complain now, pay up.
Who is angry? I am tired of the divisive nature of this kind of rhetoric, and I am invested enough in the HN community that I want it to stop. I do not have a lot of spare emotional capacity for Internet drama, so if it graduates from annoyance to actual anger, I will simply abandon HN.
I do this but on my main domain. I have another domain and I guess I might to move spam catching exclusively to that domain.

Anyway the trouble is writing mail to those services or replying to those. I have 13 from email usernames in my Mail.app right now on my domain. Then I stopped it. It’s just so tedious.

I wish there was an app that would let me easily do it once I proved I’m the domain owner maybe - just let me send an email from <anything>@<my domain>.tld without having to add one separately. It should also allow me to reply from same email without hassle

I tried Apple iCloud+‘S HideMyEmail feature, but:

- It’s a harder lock-in into their ecosystem

- Not available on custom domain

- You can reply from that random email username if you get email username, but you can’t start a conversation easily.

- when you stop paying those randomly generated Hide My Email are gone

- Not very convenient in the browser especially if you are not in Safari or a Mac.

When you look at the ImpossibleHQ vs Impossible Foods logo, it's obviously, without a doubt, a complete rip off.

It's the sort of lawsuit that I would expect ImpossibleHQ to put against Impossible Foods, obviously not vice versa.

It seems so clearly a rip off of the logo, that it's the kind of lawsuit that I want to invest in. Like -- I want to help fund a lawsuit against Impossible foods for millions that they ripped off the logo/trademark illegally.

Is there any past examples of investment/crowdfunding for a lawsuit, where the investors earn returns if a lawsuit succeeds?

This feels like an interesting opportunity for grassroots crowdfunding/investment for a David vs Goliath situation.

It reeks of insecurity. The issue is that it may be an honest reflection that it fails to deliver actual value.

- Wave Apps the accounting software with their payroll service.

Modern meat substitutes exist because texture is a huge part of eating and also people tend to go with the cuisine they're familiar with. Stocking a kitchen for the first time to cook Indian food is also a bit pricy. There are a lot of spices that you need to buy if you want to do it right, and they aren't cheap.
Three sins of authors in computer science and math (1997)
About that: highly depends. E.g. here in Germany, a properly done cryptographic signature is equivalent to an ink signature on a paper contract. Docusign is not. (Some delivery startup recently found out the hard way, when they discovered that parts of their contracts with workers were invalid due to that, and they thus had given them permanent contracts where they had intended them to be temporary)

Sadly the digital signatures are uncommon, because well, its a digitalisation effort in Germany, of course nobody did anything competent about actually implementing it. (e.g. a while after creating those laws, ID cards were changed to be smart cards too. And instead of just giving everyone a usable cert on one of those that's a paid extra)

That mirrors my expectation. Which by the way is a pet peeve of mine: the reliance on the 'R0' factor for reporting in the press, R0 is something you can at best establish when an epidemic has run its course, but it is being treated as this magic wheel that we can turn to ensure a desirable level of infections, which is complete madness, it's an output, and a delayed one at that, not an input.

The link won't load for me, but based on a quote from the full FTC ruling someone else posted, I'm pretty sure it's the FTC and this rule would do just that. The ruling seem to be much broader than the headline implies.

I know that gasoline prices here in Texas have gone from $2 a gallon to $3 a gallon since 2020. However when I look at the history it was up to $3 a gallon back in 2012 so maybe $2 was just low? Food prices are up, but not by a huge amount unless you are looking at meat.

To be honest I think that overall inflation isn't a good measure. Instead I think categorized inflation measurements make more sense. Food inflation, transportation inflation, housing inflation, wage inflation etc...

It seems like a dollar doesn't really have a fixed exchange value between goods like we think it does. Probably because of differences in the availability of credit. For example, the influx of point of sale credit driving bicycle sales.
Thanks! This looks awesome.

Ham radio relies on self-policing within the community to ensure compliance with the rules - the biggest one being "no commercial use".

The "no commercial use" rule ensures companies aren't using the limited ham radio spectrum as a workaround to getting their own dedicated license and frequency allocation.

If encryption were allowed, there'd be no way for other users to verify whether traffic is commercial or not.

I agree that it would be nice to get native syntax highlighting for strings, especially for languages where regular expressions are not a first class feature

However, I would realllyyy not want to have a more verbose regex dialect. For me at least, it would make recognizing common regex patterns a lot harder since they won't be succinct. It would also be yet _another_ regex variety that I would have to remember.

For me, Perl's DEFINE feature and 'x' switch are definitely close enough[1] to variables and comments. Pardon, I don't remember what they are officially called. What we really need is for more non PCRE engines to implement these features

As long as you review the 'comments' branch first, merge it, then move on to reviewing the 'reactions' branch it should be fine.

Last week I analyzed thousands of SaaS vendors that are using dark patterns in their billing loop [O].

Found out that many of the practices are borderline illegal..more so now.

Notables:

1. No notification when free trial converts to paid

2. Silent recurring renewals

3. Shady card authorization to bypass rule engines

4. Upsize during billing updates!

5. Charges during training and onboarding

Hmm, maybe it's finally time for me to move off of Heroku
Yes, we are prepared to enforce this. That’s precisely what laws, courts, and an enforcement agency are for. This process has worked many times in the past and it will work now and in the future.

I don’t understand your implied objection. Yes, small time violators, and big time violators alike, will be reported by their customers. Currently, customers don’t have any place at all to take their complaints, because it’s not illegal for a company to attempt to prevent a subscription cancellation.

How do you propose to call out and address the issue without a law? How are you proposing to enforce individual violations, and what is the violation exactly? You claimed that market forces were taking care of this already, but that’s not true, and runs in direct contradiction to the mountain of evidence in this thread alone.
Neither I'd say. They're usually on long stretches of old highways with no traffic lights between roundabouts where lots of commercial and residential buildings (and thus people) are right on the curb.

>Cultish is projection. I and those I know do not base our identities on hating him

I didn't mean to suggest you do that, but there are some people I have talked with (mostly online, but a few in person) who do basically base their identity on hating Trump.

I also know some people who base their identity on their love of Trump.

There is a cult of personality on both sides of this. I fully believe Trump likes it and takes the whole all publicity is good publicity to an extreme.

>Prove it.

I don't think it is possible since Trump has been heavily criticized for the last 6 years (or however long). He didn't really have followers prior to this. I don't recall ever seeing anybody defending or criticizing Trump on everything 10 years ago.

What I am basing it on is other politicians. When people don't treat politicians as poorly as Trump was treated, people tend to acknowledge more flaws. My statement was anecdotal not some sort of study assessing this. I should have made it more clear.

> So let's hear what disappoints you about Trump

1. The way he speaks (not his inflection, but what he says)

2. He didn't really accomplish anything. Just a tax cut and a couple mediocre judges?

3. The people he surrounded himself with. (I don't fully blame him on this. My understanding is some better people refused to work with Trump so he had to go with worse people.)

4. Nepotism (probably could be combined with #3)
I was able to cancel my WSJ subscription last year through an online chat (it was almost identical to how I unsubscribed from the NYTimes). I definitely would have preferred a cancel button though.

MITM malware can hijack most 2FA methods. There are well over 20 2FA common methods and the vast majority are susceptible to a MITM attack. But the most common attack is replay attacks and all 2FA methods thwart that. Some 2FA methods are trivial to hijack like SMS and others require more effort. Some are pointless to hijack if they are from a separate channel, session based and paired to a trusted pinned device like remote login 2FA.
This is the first thing I thought of as I was reading the server side section
They're basically CPanel on steroids (=orchestrating a whole bunch of servers/services instead of a single server) with low-code features (workers) built in. You can go from nothing to having a demo for some small application in a day or two, while hardly leaving their site. For cloudflare, for example: register domain, set up DNS, deploy "web app" UI as a site, write a quick & dirty API in workers (you can even write it all in-browser!), letting CF handle all the routing and such.

They're similarly pointy-clicky one-stop-shop for fairly complex external and internal networking, on high-tier plans, at least for Cloudflare.

I am very aware of the risks with things like this, but the appeal is clear.
