mikepechadotcom··on You can now ask Google to remove your phone number, email or address from search
Sounds great, however I am scared that when I do this, Google will flag my account, and if I need to use their other services, like Google Ads, Gmail, YouTube etc. my account is suddenly blocked because of [insert arbitrary ToS violation]
mikepechadotcom··on Show HN: Cleanvoice – Automated Podcast Editing
Really cool project, I wish you great success! Could be useful for my (german) podcast agency!

Out of curiosity: Which ai-technology did you use? OpenAI? Google API? Or did you train the models yourself with Python (sth. like Tensorflow)?

Cheers, Mike

mikepechadotcom··on Stripe banned us for payment disputes but we never had a single dispute

mikepechadotcom··on “I monitor my staff with software that takes screenshots”
This kind of infantilizing surveillance of employees will eventually backfire. Especially creative people will be driven out by such appalling policies, b/c they either can not or will not put up with it.

Things like this are a huge reason for the current startup/indie startup /solopreneur boom, because people want to have more freedom and dont want to be treated like 9 year olds...

mikepechadotcom··on Google bans Podcast Addict app over non-approved Covid-19 content
