oliv__··on Observations from our Joe Rogan Experience experience
Yes, please someone get him a woman, christ a lawyer, something, someone to review his podcast! We can't allow someone to simply speak their mind, think of what might happen if people got the hang of that!

The amount of authoritarianism in this comment is staggering

oliv__··on Ask HN: Best (minimal) customer support software?
In case anyone is interested, I ended up going with Helpscout: I find it to have the easiest/simplest interface.

I also looked at Front, Intercom, and Zoho.

oliv__··on RavynOS – Finesse of macOS, freedom of FreeBSD
The website looks better than the actual OS...
oliv__··on Ask HN: What HN post made you money?
This looks cool but I would expect a big section on the home page about why I should trust you and upload my bank statements on your website.

I don't doubt that it works but I'm frankly amazed that people have paid for this service and happily uploaded such sensitive documents without any kind of reassurance (hell even just some plain old marketing)

oliv__··on Former U.S. congressman, operative pleads guilty to election fraud charges
Would he get bribed if they didn't?
oliv__··on GoodWill ransomware forces victims to donate to the poor
Is it empathetic if you don't mean it?
oliv__··on How to Be Successful (2019)
To be fair, I've seen a lot of people who are married out of a fear of being alone and not necessarily because they were crazy in love with their spouse.

I don't think "wife" or "husband" alone is enough of a keyword to fill up your life and be meaningful. So many "successful" dysfunctional families out there

oliv__··on How did Tropicana lose $30M in a packaging redesign?
Why would you mess with such a classic design if it's working?
oliv__··on I made an app to find great food trucks near you
I'd definitely use this if it were live. Don't know that I'd download an app for the service though, I'd much prefer a web interface.
oliv__··on Why do you waste so much time on the internet?
This link should be pinned to the top of HN permanently: what a time saver!

I've impulsively opened up HN at least 5 times today, then closed the tab feeling shamed by this link haha.

oliv__··on Things I don’t want to do to grow my side project
Looks really cool. Wish you had one in NYC
oliv__··on How to professionally say
This is the kind of veiled talk that I can't stand. I'm left trying to decipher whether the person is serious or what they mean exactly.

If my idea sucks, just tell me so and we can talk about why, don't beat around the bush with ambiguous politically correct words.

oliv__··on Ask HN: When did tech stop being cool?
While I agree that a lot of technology these days is being used for dystopian/nefarious purposes, if you live in the US, I'd suggest a drive (or flight if too far away from TX) to SpaceX's Starbase rocket launch site in Boca Chica, Texas: it will rekindle that spark you had for technology.
oliv__··on Sounding the alarm: How noise hurts the heart (2021)
Glad to know I'm not alone: noise affects me disproportionately (both positive and negative -- good music is bliss to me) and the US definitely feels like the wild west when it comes to noise control
oliv__··on Elon has decided not to join our board
Take a look at Giga Texas' launch and let me know if you still feel that way.

I wonder what you've achieved in your life that makes you think you're in a position to say anything about that man

oliv__··on Gas pumps happen to be about as insecure as your typical router
Well yeah, I was saying this in a tongue in cheek manner, it would definitely be pretty bad for all those businesses
oliv__··on Gas pumps happen to be about as insecure as your typical router
Would be funny if someone figured out a way to remotely set all gas pumps in the country to "release mode" simultaneously: I'm sure this would make for a memorable experience.
oliv__··on I'm Too Risk-Averse for Index Investing
"Investing is heavily biased for favoring large players"

How?

oliv__··on Can making employers share pay in job postings help fix the gender pay gap?
Latino is considered white now?
oliv__··on Ask HN: Do I have to host all data in the EU to comply with GDPR?
Whether I "need" it or not depends on how much of my future customer base I estimate will be EU-based.

Believe me, I don't think these laws are very well structured (they're not even clear enough that you have to dig through 15 different sources and recent court rulings to figure out what to do) and I don't want to add complexity to my setup, but I am trying to grow my business: if it works out financially with enough new EU customers, then the headache could be worth it.

oliv__··on Ask HN: Do I have to host all data in the EU to comply with GDPR?
Interesting suggestion but most of my customers are US-based so I feel like the impact on speed might outweigh the reduction in complexity?
oliv__··on Ask HN: Do I have to host all data in the EU to comply with GDPR?
Yeah, this is probably the most pragmatic answer.

It's a pain to implement and only adds more complexity to my setup for a tiny percentage of customers; but on the other hand the more I dig into the answers, the more unclear things get with recent rulings overturning common practices.

It's unfortunate that finding the answer to such a simple question seems to require lawyers, especially for a small business like mine. I wish we could protect data and privacy without opening Pandora's box.

oliv__··on New iPhone SE
I use the old SE and even big company websites are broken on that screen size: if anyone from Airbnb is browsing this forum, your home search is broken on the SE, the date filter popup covers up so much space that you cannot actually submit your query!
oliv__··on Last Day of IKEA in Moscow
Yeah. Between the masks and the war I think people will look back on these pictures 20 years from now and scratch their heads
oliv__··on Ask HN: Is remote work killing your network?
"> I don't care about shuffling pixels about, I care about actual people in the real world"

I agree, and feel that people in tech often forget what/who the technology was supposed to be built for in the first place: us, people, to hopefully make our lives better!

Not to make us more anti-social, separated, and zombie-like. Technology was supposed to be our tool, not the other way around.

oliv__··on Ask HN: Is remote work killing your network?
Yeah sounds like he meant "necessary"
oliv__··on Imprisoned for Your Safety
Saying that someone is "too dumb to make their own informed decisions" sounds to me like saying "you are too dumb to live your own life", which I find repugnant.
oliv__··on The Black American Amputation Epidemic
Those can certainly be barriers but it's not the same argument as arguing there are "food deserts".
oliv__··on The Black American Amputation Epidemic
> The underlying factors are deeper: in many places (read: along racial and other lines) it is difficult to get fresh fruits, vegetables and other healthy food

I've heard this argument a lot, but personally I've never been to an area in the US where you couldn't get to a Walmart or similar "cheap" supermarket in a reasonable drive and where you couldn't find basic fruits/vegetables.

Sure, it might not be your fancy organic bodega but they've got everything you need to eat right and it's not that expensive.

I mean, hell, even without fresh produce, you can buy rice, canned beans (black, pinto, garbanzo) and (non-syrup) canned fruit and that will be some of the cheapest food in the store.

It's really not that hard to eat healthy for cheap if you know what to buy.
