JacobSuperslav··on Google collects 20 times more telemetry from Android devices than Apple from iOS
I got a feeling the only reason here is that Google is a search engine/ad business and Apple isn't.
JacobSuperslav··on Do you really want Linux phones
I wish there was a desktop operating system that worked as good as IOS. And, no, Mac OS is a joke.

I'm not saying they are mentally ill. I'm saying they seem disturbed, and would probably benefit from some kind of counseling and staying away from Internet discussions and politics.
JacobSuperslav··on Ask HN: What was the biggest contributor to your happiness in the past year?
I figured out a way how to connect influencers/people who have a large following/websites which could improve their monetization with advertisers and take a cut. Most of the search and outreach is automated. I'm a programmer/marketer specializing in Python and analytics.

TL;DR: Your blog is making $2k/month from ads, but you could be making $4k/month. Will you give me $400/month so you can get $1600 more?

The North. whereabouts of Puerto de la Cruz, now looking for a big house since we like it here.
JacobSuperslav··on Ask HN: What was the biggest contributor to your happiness in the past year?
It's pretty darn good. My dream destination is northern Australia/Queensland but with my work setup the visa would be very difficult/would have to invest a lot of money to be able to move there with my family.

JacobSuperslav··on Germany pauses AstraZeneca vaccinations as a 'precaution'
I don't agree. Vaccines are about group immunity. The disease is pretty harmless to young people. We are vaccinated them to stop the pandemic in general.
JacobSuperslav··on You can't censor away extremism or any other problem

JacobSuperslav··on Magic Mushrooms Are Decriminalized in DC as of Today
not advising just sharing my opinion that it's super refreshing to get out of reality using LSD/shrooms once every 2-3 months. Been doing this for years and noticing much less side effects than with alcohol/cigarettes. everybody is different though.

JacobSuperslav··on Female Founder Secrets: Fertility
I'm not feeling that. Perhaps most people are different. To me it always felt like that feeling is a social construct.
JacobSuperslav··on The internet didn’t kill counterculture – you just won’t find it on Instagram

JacobSuperslav··on Female Founder Secrets: Fertility
i don't understand why adoption isn't more popular. besides the obvious shallow reasons of wanting a biological copy of yourself etc.
JacobSuperslav··on Are You Trading or Gambling?
You're wrong. There are numerous studies about that. Retail investors have a losing hand against the big players. It's the same story as going into a casino.

One of the dozens of studies on that topic: https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=1872211

Over 90%(low end estimation) of retail investors make less than inflation long term. The number fluctuates depending on the study.

JacobSuperslav··on On the Experience of Being Poor-Ish, for People Who Aren't
the problem with these programs in the US is that you gotta jump through hoops with beaurocracy and not every person has the mental stability to do that. same with healthcare. i need to register somewhere and meet some income quota to get free healthcare. to me that's ridiculous and not the case in many other countries. I personally experienced German healthcare without showing any paperwork when I had fallen on hard times in my life and it was very refreshing.

I personally know a poor guy in the States that was waiting to get to the psychiatrist for 4 months with his bipolar disorder episode because he simply wasn't able to get on the Medicare due to his anxiety. The task was too taxing for him at that time.

JacobSuperslav··on Brave buys a search engine, promises no tracking, no profiling
The relevance is having a CEO that is not widely esteemed is terrible for PR. This is why Mozilla fired him
JacobSuperslav··on Brave buys a search engine, promises no tracking, no profiling
