chevas··on Italian court rules food theft 'not a crime' if hungry
What is going to stop a crowd of justifiably hungry people looting a grocery store causing the grocer to become homeless themselves and thus making the problem worse? The government has no right to sanction someone's property as "ok" to be stolen because of need. I'm generally not in favor of imminent domain for a public works project either, but that's another matter). This ruling is an act of aggression by the government against the non-hungry that steals not only their property, but their liberty. Most of us do not want anyone going hungry, but this is not the solution.
chevas··on Show HN: Consol – Desktop First Productivity with End-to-End Encryption
We want the same thing. We love the idea of a native app that works offline. It will happen.

Pricing page is live now. We were definitely not trying to be tricky. The goal was to see who was interested in the product, but not willing to pay for a subscription. Nevertheless, the feedback was clear that we needed to show pricing. Thanks for your interest. Import/Export data is in the top 3 items of our roadmap. It's in the works.

Sorry, not trying to be insane. Pricing page went up.
chevas··on Show HN: Consol – Desktop First Productivity with End-to-End Encryption
Feedback like this was frequent. We decided to put up a pricing page.
chevas··on Show HN: Consol – Desktop First Productivity with End-to-End Encryption
We put up a pricing page. Send support@consol.io and email and I'll remove all trace of your email address.
chevas··on Show HN: Consol – Desktop First Productivity with End-to-End Encryption
Standby, this is being updated.
chevas··on Show HN: Consol – Desktop First Productivity with End-to-End Encryption
Working on a pricing page. That's today's big feedback. You happen to see it for short window before it was ready.
chevas··on Show HN: Consol – Desktop First Productivity with End-to-End Encryption
Will do!

1. Yes on mobile apps, check out our first blog post: https://www.consol.io/top-10-missing-features-you-need-in-co...

2. The code does include Syntax highlighting

3. A Shared "Library" is something we are actively working on delpoying. It's very very high on our roadmap.

4. Stripe handles the CC, so we don't store it. That may not answer your question, but I know that's true. We are also working on longer subscription pricing. Expect that very soon.

Yes, that will happen. Click "Crypto" first, then if you type content in the item, it will be encrypted from the get-go. We're working on changing this so you don't have to manually enable "Crypto" first.

1. Not open source today 2. It's web based only right now (native apps for later) 3. It's $9/mo base (+$7 to add End-to-end encryption)

Good to know regarding Paypal.
chevas··on Show HN: Consol – Desktop First Productivity with End-to-End Encryption
4 digits are now allowed.

Make no mistake, it is end-to-end encryption. The browser encrypts and decrypts the data, not the cloud. The version we're developing will not require the user to have to enable anything beforehand.
chevas··on Show HN: Consol – Desktop First Productivity with End-to-End Encryption
This is our initial implementation and we know it's limited. Enable encryption on an item FIRST, before you add content. From then on, any data you add to that item will be encrypted by your browser before transfer. The cloud server is not encrypting the data.
chevas··on Show HN: Consol – Desktop First Productivity with End-to-End Encryption
It's fixed now.
chevas··on Show HN: Consol – Desktop First Productivity with End-to-End Encryption
I broke something when I made an update to that page. I just tested it and it should be fixed. Thanks for your patience. Please try now.
chevas··on Show HN: Consol – Desktop First Productivity with End-to-End Encryption
Really sorry to hear this. Standby, I'm looking into it.
chevas··on Show HN: Consol – Desktop First Productivity with End-to-End Encryption
Yikes. Standby.
chevas··on Show HN: Consol – Desktop First Productivity with End-to-End Encryption
Really appreciate this. Building this is has been challenging.
chevas··on Show HN: Consol – Desktop First Productivity with End-to-End Encryption
Thanks for your feedback. The current flow allows me to see who's interested in the product, but may not be interested in paying. If the price was front and center from the get-go, I wouldn't have ever known of numerous users who showed interest.
chevas··on Show HN: Consol – Desktop First Productivity with End-to-End Encryption
We're bootstrapped. The primary reason I started Consol was because I wanted to use it. One day at work I finally had it with existing tools and I started designing what had been in my head for a long time. Soon after I recruited my brothers. Many of you will immediately notice some missing features, such as the ability to import/export data. Take a look at our first blog post for some insight on what's missing and what's in the pipeline. Thanks in advance for your positive and constructive feedback.
chevas··on Why privacy is important, and having “nothing to hide” is irrelevant
It's government that has something to hide and it's them I don't trust, which is why privacy is important. I wouldn't want government searching my home on a whim and neither my digital content because they're the ones with the track record of planting evidence, seizing assets, and perpetuating falsehoods for their agendas.

I doubt this presentation was created on a mobile device.
chevas··on Sartre on the Nobel Prize (1964)
Precisely. Just accept the damn honor. I am not impressed. True humility does not rob others the joy of giving, but accepts the gift being offered.

I imagine this is to offload some inventory before the iPhone 6 announcement. My bet is Amazon will sell very few phones after tomorrow.
chevas··on Blue Bottle Coffee Gets Caffeinated With $25.75 Million in Funding
I can see the company growing slowly into something large. Starbucks has left behind the craft and replaced it with automation and burnt coffee that can be tasted through 20 ounces of milk. Yet, the people still want craft coffee.

This gave rise to lots of independents, but you never know what you're getting from one independent to the next. Just because you're an independent does not automatically make your coffee any good.

Blue Bottle has worked really hard to develop a reputation of really really caring about coffee, from farm to cup (and good ingredients in all food products). There are very few large independents who have a similar reputation (Stumptown comes to mind and Intelligentsia come to mind).

The last time I saw explosive growth in Coffee, which was cut way too short by a buyout from Starbucks for millions, was the Coffee Equipment company who manufactured the Clover machine. The Clover essentially elevated drip coffee to espresso status. The machine made drip coffee that tasted good, one cup at a time, and within 60 seconds. Blue Bottle isn't manufacturing anything, so my opinion is that it's going to be a long road to get to big growth.

chevas··on The $200 Billion Rip-Off: Our broadband future was stolen (2007)
Corporations can be evil, but if 5 corporations competed for consumer dollars, then there would be a lot less screwage happening to consumers. Government laws that disallow competition are the first things that need to change.

Government should be there to protect consumers from price fixing, and that's just about it.
