dbmuelleron What I Learned Co-Founding Dribbble

But the thing is I like the idea and should like to see it executed (by me ideally)

dbmuelleron What I Learned Co-Founding Dribbble

Regarding 'start up's:

I have a project idea that i think is pretty good and think could actually be useful to people and fill a niche, but:

* Nobody close to me I mentioned it to seems really interested.

* I am not 100% sure it would actually work/be useful/generate revenue/...

* I work full time and don't really want to invest my week-ends developing an idea I'm not sure will catch on.

What's the best next step? How do I evaluate my idea's chances? How can I get feedback without risking it getting stolen (very little chance but it would sting)

Is this categorization (subvocalizers vs others) backed up by research?

Can on learn not to subvocalize?

dbmuelleron Ask HN: (Cheap) U2F Tokens?

Mmh, I don't have any specific service in mind. Concerning cloning, it's not such an important request, and if people have good reasons to think it's not worth it, I'm OK with that.

What was your experience with the solo keys, then? I gather they haven't implemented SSH and GPG key "management" yet: is that right? So for now it's just U2F it seems.

same for u2fzero if it's not locked already, no?

dbmuelleron Ask HN: (Cheap) U2F Tokens?

Well, it could also happen that your first key simply fails or gets broken, in which case it's easier to just have a backup.

But are cryptographic chips actually needed for 2fa tokens to be useful. A lot of security risks are already covered by having a physical second factor, no?

Good to know, thanks for sharing your experience!

dbmuelleron ProtonMail Voluntarily Offers Assistance for Real-Time Surveillance?

I'm tempted to do that, but how much effort does it take to have something rock solid with no downtime? Or in general, what are the `uptime` over `time investment` and `security` over `time investment` curves like?
