ehllo··on Google to developers: We take down your extension because we can
It is not that complicated. Just pay(monthly)for a storage Box at Hetzner(just an example provider i trust) or any other provider and your Data is still there in 30 years. - https://www.hetzner.com/storage-box?country=gb
ehllo··on Show HN: My first game – CryptoEmpire.io :)
Hey,

i dont want so sound harsh, but you need to think a bit more about the UI-Part. For example, where do i see how much money can be spend on the coins?

Maybe a status bar at the top with all the important stuff for the player is a good starting point.

ehllo··on Tandem – Decentralized, cross-editor, collaborative editing
From my point of view the term holds another problem. It sounds like you can't use/host the provided "Rendezvous Server" at all and must also write your own to connect the people.

ehllo··on Open source innovation is now about vendor on-ramps
Adobe Experience Manager (AEM/CQ) is at its core open source. But you're right in that manner, that they don't promote these projects or help them to grow.

https://sling.apache.org/ - the core

ehllo··on Maintaining an Independent Browser Is Expensive
But the use of an alternative is only possible, if the alternative is on/near the same level of usablity as the product that is market leader. If it's not the case, than most users won't switch and there is also the factor of the "mental burden" to switch to a product you're not used to and stay in the "preferred loop".
ehllo··on Ask HN: Best time series database currently
I see timescale more as an alternative option, since the OP also aksed for this. - And you're right, since Timescale is an postgresql extensions, it also has the same benefits/problems as postgresql itself in this manner.
ehllo··on Ask HN: Best time series database currently
Maybe this is a better option for you.

ehllo··on Ask HN: Best time series database currently
Just have a look at Timescale. It's a open source postgresql extension, and can sit side by side with other stuff. Scaling postgresql should be no problem for you.

ehllo··on Why Did ProtonMail Vanish from Google Search Results? (2016)
It is not about the right to appear in Google's search results. It is about abusing market dominance to put competing businesses at disadvantage. There are also other running/solved cases/investigations against Google.

ehllo··on The World Is Running Out of Sand
Sand =! Industrial usable Sand. Not all kind of "Sand" is suited for the industry(today). Most desert/dune sand is to fine grained and has a smooth surface, so that it is unusable to create strong material. There are some projects/studies already that use "desert sand + X" to create "strong" material.

ehllo··on Ask HN: We didn't get a single person to pay for our SAAS – what could be wrong?
Just a simple Input from my side, tested your site with chrome and firefox (both newest version) and IE 11 on windows 8.1 pro.

# Firefox with UBlock Origin - Don't Work

# Clean Chrome - Don't Work

# IE 11 - Don't Work

Maybe there is more to this than only your Process of collecting Prospect-Info

ehllo··on NoScript Not Available for Latest Firefox
I use also UBlock Origin and there is really clear difference. With NoScript you can Browse most of the Sites without Javascript-Gimmicks like Parallax-News-Scrolling (for example Bloomberg) or On-Site-Embeded-Advertisemet (no JS no Ads). UBlock is nice but without NoScript it is not good enough for my personal taste.

"Especially Telefunken products."

Today Telefunken don't produce any products(they sell only their Brand-Licence to partners), if you buy for example a Telefunken-TV it is produced by Vestel(in Turkey).

ehllo··on Ask HN: Fastest/easiest framework to build a web application in 2017?
I think your expierence in a system/framework or programming language is a key factor in "fast" development and to be honest, the question for the "easiest and fastest" framework is totally wrong and you won't get nothing out of this question. All answers will come from people with different expierence levels in programming, frameworks, projects and many other things - all answers are biased towards the expierence of the person who answers your question.
ehllo··on Amazon to Adapt J.R.R. Tolkien’s Globally Renowned Fantasy Novels
I think tolkien is a good option for "new" stuff, since there are many written stories in this universe about other characters and the created world by him is massive. There is also a possibility to start with his oldest book "silmarillion".
ehllo··on Show HN: IdeaValid – Let Artificial Intelligence validate your business idea

ehllo··on Ask HN: Why has no one created an “Amazon” driven by local businesses?
The biggest problems with this kind of Marketplace is(without the ignored points):

- convincing local Shop-Owners at first (this should be a no brainer but it isn't - many won't see still today any value for this )

- to invest in modern Systems (even if you subsidize the cost of it, there is a chance that many owners dont do/want it)

- bring local shops/stock online (the easy part, because it can be done without further involment of the owner)

- train the local shop owners (it is still a big part in this kind of projects and the costs are high, because many would prefere a face to face training. - lack of PC / Web Skills)

- keep the owners on the marketplace (some local shops will see a increase in transactions but most of the shops will not(they get just more work with no gain), so you have to subsidize some kind of cost(no fees for example) and pamper the shops to stay)

- getting steadiliy new shops into the system (because many shops will leave at the moment you want money from them or - see point above.)

- keeping officials of city/county, VC's etc. involved (with money, press or whatever - subsidizing all of this needs money and manpower)

ehllo··on Paradise Papers: Dear Tim Cook
Sorry, but we are talking about evading tax in europe and that apple and many other big corps are doing this with aggressive tax planning is an undeniable and occupied fact.

No offense, but you just try to "wash out" the discussion in the "whole tread" with the same generalized arguments over and over again - by simply deny the fact.

Talking any further make no sense.

ehllo··on Ask HN: Would you trust your real work to Google if they can just lock you out?
Infrastructure is a bit different, because it is interchangeable and your IP isn't. It make sense to use IT-Services and Hosting, but i think there are also many cases when a companie should think about the cost of cloud(instead of easy and fast setup - pinterest and many others burned high amount of capital ) or a move to another Hosting/Cloud service(better price or stop paying a rival - netflix and amazon aws).
ehllo··on Paradise Papers: Dear Tim Cook
The only purpose of Aggressive tax planning is the reduction of tax liabilities. To make a long story short - it is about exploiting and overstrain one system or more systems by outplaying one against the other.

Maybe this video from the HMRC.gov.uk helps you to understand why evading tax is bad and it is better for all to pay the full tax ;)
