kvothe_··on Ask HN: What's the next big thing that few people are talking about?
unlikely we'll rebuild locally. We will outsource it to a friendlier country with cheap labor. In 50 yrs the cycle will repeat. (Probably South America.)
kvothe_··on Ask HN: Where can I find small companies to work for part-time?
isn't that just LinkedIn? Companies reach out in dm

This is pretty good. However, there was another one that's been around a bit longer that's also really nice. See here: https://github.com/farridav/django-jazzmin

kvothe_··on Coinbase from YC to DPO
This is not an issue since they make money from per trade.
kvothe_··on Kill the Newsletter – Convert email newsletters into Atom feeds
Nice! Would be cool if you display a list of newsletters. "Recently added []"...
kvothe_··on No, Cellebrite Cannot “Break Signal Encryption”
Whoever wrote the article for Signal should be writing bars in rap songs. Such a great article. I was laughing the whole way through. The author manages to poke fun of Cellebrite and plug Signal.
kvothe_··on Things You're Allowed to Do
Coming back to this... People lend their cars all the time - siblings, children, parents, etc. So you cannot pin who was driving the vehicle at the time of the fine. This is why red light cameras are a flat fee. They do not scale based on the number of tickets the car received. You would think that if someone received 30 red light cameras, it is time to increase the fee, but this is not cannot be accomplished without proving who the driver is.

>acceptable middle ground is for fines to scale with the value of a car at registration

The type of car one drives is not at all an indication of their actual finances. Many people, unfortunately, feel the need to impress others by spending money they don't have.

kvothe_··on Things You're Allowed to Do
It's challenging to prove who is driving the car at the time of the fine (i.e., parking fine). Therefore, it would be difficult to tie fines to income.
kvothe_··on Write code. Not too much. Mostly functions.
I think you may find it difficult to test an 80 liner... There is way too much happening.
kvothe_··on Show HN: Add what Twitter's missing - good thread editor, edit tweets and more
They should have an Edit feature and ALSO display edit history. So, you will see the most recent version of the tweet but can also see the edit history. Nothing will be hidden this way.
kvothe_··on Ask HN: What did you make during lockdown?
Fantastic!

kvothe_··on I Replaced My MacBook Pro with a Raspberry Pi 4 8GB for a Day
Next article: I replaced my car with Raspberry Pi... didn't work out.

hmmmmmmm.

kvothe_··on What It’s Like to Get Doxed for Taking a Bike Ride
"To his surprise, the app that he used to record his regular rides ... shared that information publicly, not just with his network of friends and followers. Someone had located a record of his ride on the path on June 2..."

This makes it sound like the app (Strava) leaked his private info. It can very well be one of his followers leaked it?

kvothe_··on DuckDuckGo, Google, and Android choice screens
You can't hoard search results since they change. The same search in March may be different in April.
kvothe_··on Cloudflare TV
In general I prefer to read than watch technical content. When you read you can go at your own pace, reference a paragraph/graphic from earlier in the article, reread parts, go fast or slow. Whereas a video it's hard rewatch by rewinding. Limited to 2x max otherwise can't hear a word.

Video is more limiting.

kvothe_··on AI-Powered JavaScript Completions
Code extraction alert! Would not trust this company. Google them
kvothe_··on Ask HN: Not smart enough to a programmer, where to take my life from here?
I feel bad that you are experiencing this problem. If "promoters" stopped putting out ridiculous "call to code" YouTube videos etc. you and many others will probably not be having this problem.
