Exactly what I thought. Probably more beneficial for attacker would be to report the security vulnerabilities and receive a bounty in turn.

But it works, surprisingly! I paid $30 for it quite hesitantly but was impressed when it could actually do what is says. Makes me think why there isn't an open-source program that does this - using something proprietary is always... shady. Lack of incentive I guess.

By making the customers use an external storage they are relieving themselves of whatever regulations (such as GDPR) they might be imposed of.

Exactly. We're not owners of that data, they are. Should be an extension of the regulations IMHO.

I seriously can't understand why a billion dollar company with hundreds of engineers can't and won't prioritize the abilitynto seamlessly transfer messages cross-OS. Its been years since the need for such a "feature", when it shouldn't even be a "feature" in the first place, it should be baked in!

Was there any reason provided for the removal? I think it should in fact be essential in EU where they must follow. GDPR regulations and allow users to export their data easily.

I've been using rsync for months now to backup my files onto Google Drive, but that's hardly ideal. Ideally, I'd want to self-host or use a storage service other than Google Drive, but as a student I've got barely any money to spend on subscriptions.

Exactly. And also one of the main reasons why we don't see "blockchain" getting into the mainstream products. If consumers don't understand the true benefit (or even requirement) of it, it won't work. It's really tough to convince consumers to replace soul trust with cryptography.

One of the most infuriating thing for me was having my biometric information taken and shared at all the the competitive examinations' test centres. To get into college, I had given 5-7 online competitive exams (JEE/BITSAT/UCEED/etc.), and at each centre I had to mandatorily have my fingerprint scanned. Their reason was probably to prevent cheating, but I won't be surprised if my fingerprint/name/phone number/address is out their being sold.

Yep! The comedic cringe and the awkward, ludicrously brilliant situations were amazing, and very well written. One of the reasons why it's still one of my go-to shows when I have nothing to watch :).

Interesting! I don't agree with how his character was developed, but Brian Baumgartner is definitely a great actor.

Exactly. Character development is one thing, and I do appreciate it. But they way it was done in The Office seemed sort of off to me.

Flanderization is so obviously employed in The Office. Characters get crazier or weirder over the seasons. Kevin was initially a slow guy, but understood everything and got things done. They ruined his character by turning him into a "stupid fat guy". Really bummed me out.

Hi! I'm the developer of the extension.

The Firefox version needs a lot of work in the popup's CSS to make it visible. FF made some internal changes and ever since then it has stopped displaying text properly.

I'll get onto it soon.

RHN's dev here - just saw this. Thanks :)

> $17.99/month

That... is quite steep as compared to India, where the family plan for YT Premium (if I recall correctly) costs Rs. 99/month, approximately $1.33/month. PPP is real :|

A lot of comments here have mentioned that inkjets don't perform well if left idle for a long period of time, but I can't seem to a reason for this. So, why?

For a simple command line program, I created 2048.cpp: https://github.com/plibither8/2048.cpp. It's gained quite some popularity (GitHub tweeted about it [1]), and the codebase has improved and grown all thanks to a new maintainer.

PS: A fork of 2048.cpp was even used as a demo at CppCon 2020 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HrOEyJVU5As)

Thank you for the response. Congratulations and all the best! :)

Nice! This immediately reminded me of the Account Aggregator[1] framework and ecosystem that RBI is planning to introduce into India's fintech space (apparently the next big thing after UPI). How does your product differ from it exactly?

Well, for what it's worth I've been using YouTube Music for over a year and it's coverage has never disappointed me - even for little-known songs (though that's relative). Just my experience and observation.

Couldn't have said this better myself.

"For many Indians, self-flagellation is a sign of their intellectual arrival". This was a line I read long ago and it desribes the situation so well.

Hah. I love this one!

The "favorites" feature is amazing and just rightly inconspicuous. On my website, https://mihir.ch/#hn, I've been collecting and displaying my favorited posts and comments from an API I created for this purpose only.

The API: https://hn-faves.now.sh

That, and '@googlemail.com'. example@gmail.com is equivalent to example@googlemail.com.

See you in August 2021, good sir!

This is it's worldwide launch. Reels was already launched in India a few weeks ago when the Indian government imposed a ban on TikTok.

This is interesting. Let's assume that I do require to use a Save icon and my usage makes sense. I can't think of a "better" icon to represent the saving action than a floppy disk right now.

Of course, ten year olds today wouldn't probably understand its origins. But what in today's world could represent a platform-agnostic, general purpose, "Save" icon? A flash drive? SD Card?
