oliv__··on Vigilante Hacker Took Down North Korea's Internet. Now He's Taking Off His Mask
Why would he reveal his identity? If I were Kim Jong Un I'd have him assassinated...

Woosh
oliv__··on Cutting a 700 carat rare valuable gemstone [video]
Oof, I don't like seeing bare fingers so close to that spinning polisher
oliv__··on Baltimore's Key Bridge struck by cargo ship, collapses
I hope they rebuild it in a similar design. It was beautiful!
oliv__··on Ask HN: What non-AI products are you working on?
Still working on my bootstrapped job board SaaS, Niceboard (https://niceboard.co) which I launched about 4 years ago now! Makes launching a job board for your community/association/company super easy, with just a few clicks and < 10min.

Been thinking about adding AI-related features but there isn't that much AI that would really make the product better.

oliv__··on U.S. sues Apple, accusing it of maintaining an iPhone monopoly
I don't get it.

You build a successful product that people love, gain an important position in a market you basically created, offer a closed marketplace for apps to further provide value to your core product, again this is a resounding success and people vote with their $$$ to subsidize your growth.

In the meantime, your competitor comes up with their own product and marketplace. Consumers are able to freely choose between both.

Now your company is forced by the gov to integrate your products with the competition's inferior marketplace. Why? How is this not overreach?

EDIT: easy to downvote, why don't you give me answers instead

oliv__··on Automakers are sharing consumers' driving behavior with insurance companies
So you think today's technology is comparable to farming?
oliv__··on Automakers are sharing consumers' driving behavior with insurance companies
It's pretty clear we've reached the point where technology has shifted to working against us, and not for us anymore.

I work in tech but as far as I am concerned, you can keep all your smart homes, cars and other gadgets and soul sucking (anti) "social" apps.

Somewhere along the way technology was hijacked to control us rather than empower us. And if you don't like it: shut up because "progress" is inevitable

oliv__··on Boeing 737 MAX suffers landing gear failure, rolls off runway
That website is very dangerous... Must not read before flying
oliv__··on Train robbery for Amazon packages? More common than you think
One can be a mistake. Two is recidivism, it's bad but we can give you another chance. Three: you blew it. Do not pass go, go directly to jail
oliv__··on How Japan Airlines crew led 367 passengers to safety from a burning plane
18 minutes seems like a hell of a long time to get out of a damn burning plane

I've never been to Japan but in the US people are standing and ready to exit as soon as the plane docks to the airport so I can imagine people running for their lives in this scenario.

5 minutes at most would seem more understandable

Gee I wonder why you're using a new account to post this comment...

oliv__··on US business elite welcomes Xi Jinping with standing ovation
I saw a similar piece in the WSJ and honestly my first thought was: these were arranged by the US gov to make XI happy and make it look like "hey the US really is friendly to China"

Sad if true but maybe I'm too cynical

oliv__··on Show HN: Start a job board for free in under 10min
Hey HN,

Wanted to repost this since the launch (about 3 years ago): we're kicking off a new free plan for anyone interested in running their own custom job board.

Since launch we've paid out over $1.5MM to job board owners and counting: as many of you know, job boards are a great way to monetize niche communities while providing value.

Founder here, AMA!

oliv__··on Show HN: Random Aerial Airport Views
Thanks for making this, I'm loving it!
oliv__··on Show HN: I made a tool that turns screenshots into dramatically angled photos
Looks cool but I think the UI should be improved for me to consider paying: I'd want more control over how the image is displayed / transformed and UX is currently too laggy (Firefox 106 on Mac).
oliv__··on Ask HN: HN for Finance?
Not HN like but a finance community I can think of would be StockTwits: https://stocktwits.com/
oliv__··on EU adopts global minimum 15% tax on big business
"The US has not taken steps to adopt the rules so far, despite Ms Yellen's championship of the plan."

Lol, obviously. Cheering them on as they shoot themselves in the foot

oliv__··on Ask HN: Someone is proxy-mirroring my website, can I do anything?
This made me wonder whether something similar was happening to my domain?

How would one go about finding out?

oliv__··on Globalization is dead and no one is listening
"They don't try to push cultural change on countries they are trading with, it's just economics"

Umm, what?

oliv__··on The mid in fake midcentury modern
I think things are ugly now because they are fake: made of fake, cheap materials.

It's much harder to make an ugly cottage home with beautiful wood than it is with vinyl.

Similarly, I'd say that music has become ugly because of autotune and the like.

oliv__··on New York City hiring top rat killer
I find it funny that after all the talk about requiring reasonable salary ranges for jobs in NYC, the city itself is sort of skirting the rule by including a very wide range: upper range is >40% higher than lower range.
oliv__··on FTX faces potential hack, sees mysterious outflows totaling more than $600M
If I were an insider, I'd want to steal the funds out in the open and add decoys such as the app update to make it look like a hack.
oliv__··on Barilla passive cooker
Gotta hand it to Barilla's marketing department. They found a way to seem climate conscious talking about cooking pasta
oliv__··on Apple now valued at more than Amazon, Alphabet and Meta combined
Respectfully, a lot of advertisers seem to disagree.

Dear Amazon, Anheuser-Busch, Apple Inc., Capital One Financial Corporation, CBS, CenturyLink, Coca-Cola Company, Comcast Corporation etc...

What a nothingburger

oliv__··on The Restaurant Industry’s Worst Idea: QR Code Menus
"no more awkwardly trying to get the waiter's by looking in their direction and locking eyes awkwardly like two grindr matches in a small midwestern city."

Hum, what? Since when is looking people in the eye to catch their attention awkward?

oliv__··on Show HN: Villagers – A group travel app
I don't really like climbing but this app looks fun. Would be especially interested in trips with other founders
oliv__··on Show HN: I built a site that lets users find playlists by songs they contain
It's kind of mind boggling to me that Spotify doesn't offer this themselves. Seems like use case 101
