Does anyone else find it troubling that the simple act of scanning the pill would be a signal for who is consuming it? Even with reasonable amounts of PII removed from the stream to the validation service, they will know you have a cell phone and a general area where the scan is happening. It is more data and therefore, more marketing and very likely more price adjustments.

The article is not referring to using your lungs to breath...

I can only imagine they way they are indicating the administration of the oxygen would be painful.

This feels a lot like a prediction for an upcoming "Run on the bank" - when everyone wants their cash out I am pretty sure that there will not be enough.

I had the exact same though - this could make the suits a reality - providing that the traveller does not need to take large doses of morphine to deal with the pain or are dosed with amyl nitrite.

I bet you would be "gassy" for weeks on end - with a dangerous combination of both pure oxygen and methane - sounds like a party to me.

Maybe I am missing some important fact here but why can't you just use a VPN and bypass their attempts at "filtering"?

If a VPN can do the trick, I think it would be hilarious if TekSavvy provided a free vpn to all their customers.

If there is no pricing, I will likely never return. If you cannot get your money right, how can I expect you will get anything else right?

What benefits does this provide over Swagger/OpenAPI?

The ecosystem for OpenAPI is pretty rich - what is the intent here? Does it live with OpenAPI or replace it?

Is it EMP or EMF/EMI?

I can certainly imagine magnetic pulses getting through the copper and inducing higher than expected voltage spikes in the internals.

Static tokens are terrible. They are far too easy to egress and are downright evil.

I would love to see that stated on the site. At this time there is no indication other than a button that says "free" but we all have been burned by dark patterns - I won't even click that button unless there is a clear statement of what that means.

For me, I work on personal side projects for weeks if not months and need to gather feedback from my loyal fans (family) - I would love to see a free option for 100 or less users - forever.

So just so I understand this, I need to spend $75 just to see if I like it?

I think your messaging should say "Apple Devices" as clearly it does not track Android.

I would love to see Corey Quinn from Duckbill (https://twitter.com/QuinnyPig) make one of these for S3 pricing. How much are you storing, how much egress and shoot out a dollar value.

Then do it for other vendors.

I cannot help but feel overwhelmed by the craptacular pixels being thrown at me. I closed the site immediately and likely will not return.

I suspect you are right. I could probably open up registration to all countries but with the disclaimer that you would need a US or Canadian bank (or whatever we offer at the time) account.

And this is why I love HN - Your feedback here is invaluable and please do expect to see it on the next release. You are a genius.

Thank you!

It comes down to how Stripe handles payouts. I walked into the process thinking "This is going to be great! I can work with all the currecies that Stripe supports!" But, the reality is, to do payouts, you have to keep all the currency in the same country - so I had to craft both a US and Canadian business entity so that the banking could flow as they allow.

I do intend on bringing up more business entities in other countries but I am limited on my resources available to expand at this time.

What country are you in?

Thanks for the great feedback - keep it coming!

You comment is music to my ears. I have been working on this project for a while now and the first few days of rollout is always the most "pit of despair" generating. I did basic market validation when crafting this but to hear you say this is what you need lifted my spirits. Best thing that has happened to me this week. Thank you!

Please sign up as an advertiser! I have an undocumented "feature" that I added recently - writing it here for the first time: If a business signs up with the platform and came to us without a referral from an advertiser, the platform will pick a random advertiser withing 100KM and give that advertiser 50% of our profit for the first 2 months. Effectively, as an advertiser, you have a chance to make cash even if you do nothing except be on the platform.

Nothing stops a business from doing this themselves - you can absolutely do this yourself.

Like most things in tech, this is a convenience tool. By using Orbik, you don't have to do the management of the reward flow. Most businesses provide some sort of in-store credit or provide discounts for the referrers. The idea with us is that paying out cash directly is much more attractive than in-store credit.

I definitely appreciate the feedback though. I suspect making the value proposition a bit clearer would be a good action item.

Any and all feedback welcome.

Nicotine is a hell of a drug.

Is there a specific reason this needs to be a program I download rather than just a website?

It would be way better to not have to "game" the value there if it is going to be garbage data.

I was literally going to craft a file and plop it on my site until I hit the "required expiration". I understand why it is there but think it should be optional. I think a better idea would be to steal from DNS and use TTL and serial numbers (maybe just standard http last-modified is enough?) - the point is "this stuff might be stale, reprocess it".

The last thing I need is one more thing to have to remember and update.

By the looks of it, a few others feel it is non-critical and have just skipped it too.

I think there needs to be better pricing. I know pricing is hard but there should at least be a call to action if you have much a much bigger spend than what is on the pricing page.

Worst video ever.

Can we see some source code for this project?

It is great if you keep it up-to-date but can be a liability if you let it languish - many times when I see new releases on something but their blog is from 2014 it sorta looks bad.
