infinitedata··on AWS deleted my 10-year account and all data without warning
If you are not in the US don’t use AWS. There is some shady stuff happening here, also Wise is not trusted by anyone
infinitedata··on Show HN: I built a Typeform alternative for $15 (no subscription)
I saw you changed your pricing structure, sounds like you are into something even bigger ahead! Great job. Question:

What is the difference between the Pro Plan and the basic alternative? I found it confusing not finding plan comparisons.

Also, for how long will you have the Last Chance 20%? I need to do some more research before we buy.

Thanks again

This is awesome, but I hope you have underlying features that will make you money, otherwise everyone loses here. Do you offer like payment processing plugins so you can get some revenue?

Inadvertently, this will also help AI training a ton! But some Execs didn’t even see that
infinitedata··on Send someone you appreciate an official 'Continue and Persist' Letter
Regarding data privacy, but from a different angle, here you are not getting the consent from the actual person receiving the letter, you are getting the consent from someone else, does that allow you to use their information when the consent is not coming from the affected party?

You can open an email without loading the tracking pixels.
infinitedata··on Every company should be owned by its employees
When I first saw this, more than money, I thought about voting rights. You shouldn’t need a CEO, direction of the company would be all about shareholders voting and bringing ideas.
infinitedata··on ETrade is considering banning meme-stock influencer Keith Gill off its platform
I don’t think they have any legal basis just because he put a screenshot of his account, twice, plus an Uno card. That is it… that is outrageous if they censor him for that. Extremely unfair to retail traders.
infinitedata··on Kino: Pro Video Camera
Can we change the microphone source with Kino, to a specific iPhone mic or if we are using any bluetooth device, like airpods?
infinitedata··on Kino: Pro Video Camera
This looks really promising, hope all goes great! My only concern is reading that you do collect crash reports despite being privacy-focused. How much information is there to identify the picture/video taken or the device/person?
infinitedata··on Lowercase – A simple way to take and share notes
Interesting quirk I noticed when accessing your site:

1. The site was shown in a light-theme version and the sun icon on the upper-right corner. 2. When clicked on the sun, it changed to a moon icon but nothing else changed, the light theme was still on. 3. When clicked again, the moon changed to the sun but this time the dark-theme was engaged. The only issue is that the dark theme is displayed but the sun icon appears. 4. When the sun icon is clicked, the light theme is engaged and the icon changes to the moon.

For some reason it feels counterintuitive. Just sharing for reference but great site!

Quite limited list from NASA. Here is another option with more for the next 10 years https://www.timeanddate.com/eclipse/list.html
infinitedata··on Finding lead in Stanley's Quencher
Funny how even before being consumed by their adopters it has already contaminated their brain and making them think they are something just because of a product.
infinitedata··on Ask HN: Are there ways to harvest FB group and subreddit content?
You are already logged in, therefore you are using your rights as a member to review content. Maybe you can implement good time delays and leverage Scrapy from Python.
infinitedata··on New Federal Rule Caps Credit Card Late Fees at $8
It is not about the fees, it is about making you feel responsible. The average Joe will now not care about balances, amass them in collections, bad credit, and ultimately bankruptcy.
infinitedata··on The day I canceled my Spotify subscription
In YT music, is there a way to spot regurgitated videos as ‘music’ versus actual tracks that provide a decent streaming quality? My problem has been that their bitrate is so bad, like their videos. Thanks for any advice
infinitedata··on Apple Watch Ultra 2 Hacked
*quarter of a century. A millenium is 1,000 years and quarter of a millenium would be in 2,250
infinitedata··on Apple Watch Ultra 2 Hacked
Apple Employees can certainly access your devices remotely, I have seen it happening with iPhone, I don’t know about Watch.

Nevertheless, this does seem like an anti-Apple campaign.

infinitedata··on The world's smallest PNG
Why this article and people in the comments refer to 32-bit words as one byte? One byte is 8 bits. If you have a hex representation of ‘42’ these are 4 bytes, 32 bits. NOT ONE BYTE.

infinitedata··on Flipper Zero: Multi-Tool Device for Geeks
You can achieve this exact same use case with a $15 RFID reader/writer, supporting higher frequencies and encryption.
infinitedata··on Ask HN: Why am I suddenly unemployable?
You have an impressing background!

I think folks reading this are seeing that you are too technical and lack of business acumen (while maybe not true).

For the work that you have done in each company they may be interested in the results of you creating these not that you created those. Did you ever find out what was the impact of your software development on the actual business?

Make sure to include numbers, people love data and lifts in sales, reach, clicks, awareness, revenue, etc.

You can save so much space by summarizing your language skills elsewhere instead of in each company. It also sounds redundant to say Used X, Y, Z because of course you needed to Use some programming language to achieve that. Group all of those elsewhere for those that you feel you are an expert with.

Best of luck!

infinitedata··on The Amazon Prime Day 2023 AWS Bill
Funny how folks here and from the article are fixated in comparing the $102M vs the $12.7b. They somehow forget there are product, advertising, warehouses, transportation, shipping, labor, operation and other labor cost involved. You didn’t spend $102 to earn $12,700…
infinitedata··on An Alerting Vista of macOS Sonoma
These alerts are so hurtful and useless that are actually very effective an amazing. These will push developers to be on top of their game and avoid having mediocre apps with deprecated APIs.

Ironically, this joke of a website is full of spam…
infinitedata··on Mullvad Leta: A search engine used in the Mullvad Browser
When you access it while using Mullvad, it still asks you for your account number. Service should automatically detect you are on VPN and let you search, why the need for the extra step?
