technological··on Ask HN: My wife keeps being harassed in WhatsApp, what can I do?
One potential solution.Assuming you are in US , get a Google Voice number and change your wife WhatsApp account to that number (Account - Change number). This way she would not lose all her chat history and continue use new number which the person won't know. You route calls from old number in Google voice. So everything will be usual just the person harassing will not have her new number

technological··on 7.1 magnitude earthquake strikes Southern California

technological··on Ask HN: Coping when your client is an asshole?
Do you have any customer support (experienced) people in your company ? Usually they have come across such behavior and help you dealing with them.

Your immediate goal should be shield your developers so that they can continue do work without any pressure.

Next, are you clients afraid of you not meeting deadlines or asking something which cannot be added to the product? The reason i asked this because, i had to deal with such customers in the past where

1) Paranoid Customers- Usually i found they pressure you because there is someone above them putting unrealistic expectations / pressure, identify if someone like that exist and try to get a someone higher than your grade level to talk to them .

2) Satisfying Ego / Giving Importance- We found certain situations even though the changes which customer asking don't make sense or they are expecting unrealistic deadlines and feel that we are not giving the enough importance, during these situations getting someone like a director or Vp on call made them feel more important and deescalated the issue.

technological··on Rolling your own servers with Kubernetes

technological··on Launch HN: The Buttermilk Company (YC S18) – Homemade Indian Food in 5 Minutes
Hi Raman

Firstly congratulations on launching the product.

Being myself from india, I love cooking and really like the choices what you have.

However I notice one main thing which may cause issue

"Made in a facility with meat, wheat and nuts"

As you know few majority of Indians prefer vegetarian food and they may be bit skeptical of eating if it was processed in facility with meat.

Also you did not mentioned what kind of meat ? As you know we have different religions and people have certain restrictions
