enigma20··on If the US Market for SWEs is on fire why isn’t Europe’s, or India’s?
As far as I know, apartments in biggest cities are also very expensive. So if you don't inherit anything, and you are on your own, I'm not sure it's 48k is really that much?
enigma20··on Ask HN: Google SSO or Password Manager?
When I think of this shouldn't then people consider google business account? Which costs money but has also support? Doesn't then risk of random lock out go to zero? I don't know if anyone can create account there, but it just came on my mind.

Are there big email providers, maybe paid, where potentially should be more reliable. Meaning at least they have a customer-service and you will not get locked out by the script?

Wow. I need to google this. Never seen any of those stories. Thanks.
enigma20··on Putin orders Russian peacekeepers to eastern Ukraine's two breakaway regions
With Russia things are also going for decades. Whole nonsense with Ukraine started 2014 if I'm not mistaken. Since Soviet union failed, they are being bullies all the time. And now apparently something is done? Before 1939, England and France probably also though that they are doing something. What will happen in the coming years between China and Taiwan.

To me, nobody does anything. Maybe response is stronger than few years back, but I bet it will end same like with Crimea, and live will go on. Germany will approve Nord Stream 2, and the live will go on, till Russia decides again to bully someone ...

Most sad thing to me is that millions of people around the world were protesting for example when the BLM was started. In countries which are far far away from US, don't even have black community, people were lying on the ground next to the embassies, screaming "can't breathe", but now I don't see the same people supporting Ukraine, by pushing own governments to make more pressure on Russia.
enigma20··on Please make a dumb car
If all smart features would work perfectly, I wouldn’t mind either. But. - lane centering - in some cars for whatever reason drives to close to middle of the lane - emergency breaking - false positives sometimes. I was overtaking a cyclist, and although I kept lots of distance as the opposite lane was completely free, it made my car slow down a lot. Luckily nobody was behind me - tmps, it's fine till sensors work or detected properly - auto headlights - sometimes they are late, and drivers coming from opposite side are made. Hopefully matrix led will be better - auto wipers - the worst of the worst! Either too slow or too fast. Or not detecting the drizzle. WTF. Really, the best was the old school knob, which just turned right/left and allowed full control over the interval
enigma20··on U.S. weighs sending 5k troops to Eastern Europe to counter Russia
There are few good videos on this channel which explain the matter https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_sKo-ibHyJs
enigma20··on U.S. weighs sending 5k troops to Eastern Europe to counter Russia
Why does/did US try to influence Nord Stream 2? Because that's what they always do. Pretend that they are friends doing things in others favour, but actually trying to affect things for their own interest, isn't it? But to have an influence, you have to show sometimes that you care, event if you actually don't.
enigma20··on Tell HN: A Conversation Needs to Be Had over Subscription Software
I hate it. I use Adobe Lightroom often. I'm stuck in version 6 I think. I don't want to pay monthly, when I edit photos 4-6 times a year in a bulk.

Wait till cars also become like this. Features of infotainment enabled if you pay subscription. Greed, greed everywhere ...

enigma20··on Staggering stat: 87% of U.S. teenagers have iPhones
I'm the Android user myself since 10 years already, was using Google Nexus phones, some mid-range OnePlus. Recently got the OnePlus 8, which got quite a few updates since beginning of this year, and I'm already tired of it. Applications won't start that fast anymore. Camera application is starting with a huge delay when triggered from the lock screen. If I buy and Android phone again, I think I will never install any system updates. Or will switch to iPhone. This is sad.
enigma20··on Gitlab default branch name changes to main
What to expect, if we live in the world were intelligence is becoming rare, and people can't read the context, and get insulted by anything. More and more have such delicate souls, poor things.
enigma20··on CDC website built by Deloitte at a cost of $44M is abandoned due to bugs
This also happens a lot in some European countries, where governments/municipalities buy/lease cars for. They specify features list in the way, that only one car model form particular manufacturer matches the requirements. Pure corruption.
enigma20··on Studying the impact of U.S. immigration barriers on global knowledge production
I'm not German but I live in German. I didn't notice racism. Maybe some don't like immigrants (especially from eastern Europe, same in UK). And what the hell is causal racism? Give me examples please.
enigma20··on HR is not your friend, and other things I think you should know
There are good ones, there are bad ones. But my experience so far was that "loudest in the room" was very often becoming a manager, not necessarily doing the best job before, but being loud about it. And it helps, because are all biased, and very often fall for that. Luckily in the current company we have a pretty much flat structure and it's way better.
enigma20··on Deleting Facebook permanently
I have only a Messanger app on my smartphone. And using the website from time to time because of some expats groups (hiking, biking).
enigma20··on UK to ban sale of new petrol and diesel cars from 2030: FT
I bought a car recently. 100% petrol. Didn't even think of EV. Why should I. It costs more. It weighs more. There is no infrastructure. It has a short range. Also bought and new apartment recently (Germany, in a big city). There is no chargers in the underground garage, no infrastructure whatsoever. How should I visit my family/friends, leaving far away? Plan additional 2 hours each way to charge a battery. In this case I didn't even look at the Plugin Hybrid. Why? Above points apply. Trunk is smaller!!! Horsepower?

I'm not against it. I could consider Plugin Hybrid, if I would have charger dedicated for my parking spot. But IMHO, governments are approaching this from the wrong angle. Instead of fining manufacturers , and increase taxes, focus on the infrastructure, and the rest will follow.

enigma20··on Ask HN: Has anybody shipped a web app at scale with 1 DB per account?
This question reminds me of some legacy system which I've seen in the past :D :D :D

In summary it was working in the following way:

There was table client(id, name).

And then dozens of other tables. Don't remember exactly the structure, so I will just use some sample names: - order_X - order_item_X - customer_X - newsletter_X

"X" being ID from the client table mentioned earlier.

Now imagine dozens of "template" tables become hundreds, once you start adding new clients. And then in the code, that beautiful logic to fetch data for given client :D

And to make things worse, sets of tables didn't have same DB schema. So imagine those conditions building selects depending on the client ID :D
