and then after Oct? would be great to get a realistic pricing expectation before jumping into it. Especially if it involves uploading docs and spending time working through the system.

Another question: (how) would it help going through proper certification? are you partnering with anyone there?

Otherwise it looks like it definitely has potential for the more mundane aspects of certification.

This feels very wrong, especially for such a service. I would personally trust https://yourdigitalrights.org/ much more. Plus it’s global.

Disclosure: I donated a little and later met the founder of the nonprofit.

This looks very sleek. I love it. I had a similar itch to scratch, but created something far less ergonomic[0] a while back.

Princing info would be useful though, even if it’s free in Beta.

Great job!

which should — in theory — get them penalized for cloaking. But obviously it doesn’t. Reinforcing GP’s point.

What actual harm would come to you from someone watching you in your bedroom?

What harm would come to people simply registered as Jewish in Germany prior to WW2?

yeah maybe. Slightly less like pee and more like ping?

naming is hard…

syng ? syn + ping

piing (unless it’s taken)

The best solution I found was to delay the deletion and make it reversible (within a few days). Mark the account as to-be-deleted and prevent any action. The only page/screen available should show: this account is scheduled for permanent deletion within X days. Click to restore.

It has an added benefit of preventing people from easily recycling accounts and still meets GDPR.

Zero complaints.

I just saw that they might discontinue their starter plan[0] as they focus on business. I can understand that residential voip is pretty much dead.

Great post! I can tick many boxes off that list as well. Wonder about fighting data brokers however. Any tips?

Yeah it’e a joke. Enforcement even in more privacy-friendly countries is slow and feels largely ineffective. I wish they would make it possible to go to small claims court and win, say, up to a 500€ per case. That might be the death by a thousand cuts that can become much more effective than big fines.

Was this incident the catalist for Rails World[0]?

This looks useful, but the problem related to CNIL etc is that CF is a US company so then it can be compelled to deanonymize the data. Wouldn’t this just kick the can down the road? IANAL but interested in this space.

I found this BBC podcast[0] quite insightful about optimism vs pessimism. One interesting thing is that there are far more optimists than pessimists in the population. If I recall it’s a 9:1 ratio.

My child also has walnut/pecan allergy. I don't recall him eating much Bamba before (I'm from Israel originally, so it won't surprise me if he did). No peanut allergy luckily. It triggered when he was quite young after eating brownies with pecan/walnut.

Besides eggs which seem to have a positive effect, what else is good and what is bad for controlling blood cholesterol? I couldn’t work it out from the articles.

What about AI-assisted writing? e.g. improving style, grammar, readability, making explanations clearer and better structured? especially for non-native writers this is a challenge and not many can hire an editor or even a proofreader. I wonder if such use gets “penalized” by search engines the same way AI-generated content might?

PrivacyRedirect for iOS (also on Firefox/Mac) auto redirects YouTube to Invidious, Reddit to teddit etc. It doesn’t work perfectly (there are delays or some times it doesn’t redirect for some strange reason) but otherwise it’s fantastic.

Adguard and nextdns for iOS are also useful to somewhat block ads and tracking.

Impressive. It’s not that intelligent with typos however. I asked it “what is ozontel?” and it answered “ Sorry! I have not learnt enough from this website to answer this confidently. The below links may have an answer to your query”

It’s a 123 page PDF??! any TL;DR? :) (on mobile so forgive my laziness)

Same here :) zero AI / ML experience but think the potential is huge.

I’m even thinking starting much smaller inside our helpdesk system: surface best matching previously-answered conversations based on the customer query (and perhaps one step further: a suggested response or at least some useful snippets).

Feels a bit gimmicky to me, but maybe I’m missing some need in the market.

I wonder about auto-generated captchas perhaps? or are these going to be easy to reverse?

On a side note: I’d love to switch from Cloudflare to bunny, but it’s missing a WAF. We were promised it from bunny for a long while, but didn’t see it yet. Personally I would imagine it being a more core feature for a CDN than AI bunnies on the edge, but I guess I’m old and boring.

Fantastic advice! one (optional, but highly recommended) to add:

turn off your presence/away status.

Just because you’re online does not automatically give permission to bug you. This however goes both ways. So make sure you do eventually respond to others. But there’s no expectation of replying right now.

bumped into a local-only and feee alternative here on HN: https://unblah.me/ no recording or creep, it just measures how much you talk vs others.

I only tried it once, and it somehow felt like my M1 air couldn’t cope with it and Zoom. But it might have improved since.

I was a coffee geek for many years, but switched to tea a couple of years ago (long story). So I still have all the gadgets including a dual boiler espresso machine etc.

The thing is, if you really want latte/espresso at home, the energy costs are quite high. You need to warm it up for at least 15 minutes. Didn’t run the numbers but it’s not negligible. So not sure if you’re saving the environment much by buying and powering a home espresso machine for a couple of cups per day?

Thank you!

> I think it got somewhat downranked because of the recent views/subscribers mismatch

Can you explain what you mean? also what about higher ranked results that don’t match the topic that closely? are you relying on YouTube’s ranking for keywords or do your own?

Looks cool! curious how you sourced and tagged the channels?

We have a few popular anatomy channels in different languages[0], but I couldn’t find any of our videos when searching for “anatomy” and also results were quite mixed. Some videos were quite unrelated or very loosely related at best.

I’m no expert, but I think the main moat that Chrome has here is its web store where users find extensions and developers submit their extensions. There’s a review process which whilst far from perfect is labor intensive and still helps catch rogue extensions. Hard to open-source this part of Chrome.

IANAL and could be wrong here, but I don’t think it matters. Personal data is personal. Even if it’s posted publicly it’s still personal data. Email is personal data. Your name is personal data. Plus spam laws are a thing.

In any case, at the very least GDPR gives you a chance to delete your data. Hopefully so it doesn’t reappear either.
