wolco2··on Ask HN: What's a side project you built to make money that hasn't?
That's where you start. But to make it responsive it takes more work. If I remember..

For a 9x9 basic table grid you would set the width 100% of the top and bottom image do the opposite for the sides and fix the corners. All of these tricks involved choosing designs that could work.

It would have been a tool I would have liked.

wolco2··on Flash Player is about to stop working on Windows 10
Is firefox safe from the purge?
wolco2··on Flash Player is about to stop working on Windows 10
A website with flash didn't mean the entire website was in flash, there was usually a mixing of html sometimes server side code. The browser is the best place view flash for those reasons.

The browser is the only place for it.

wolco2··on We should administer Covid-19 vaccines as fast as possible, not reserve doses
Do you have a full list of reactions? Where can we find that informatiin?
wolco2··on China drops 76ers broadcasts as Hong Kong row rumbles on
That's going to create more social unrest for China and blocking out the west only resulted in more demand. The unground economy just gets bigger.

For the NBA dealing with covid this is a drop in the bucket and perhaps it's better this happened now because it kinda of forces the NBA to push into other markets. Surprised the NBA/Africa don't have a stronger relationship.

Does it include Canada?
wolco2··on We should administer Covid-19 vaccines as fast as possible, not reserve doses
They had to pull a few because of side effects during the trials and some just not working. Producing vast amounts before they have been tested at all would have been costly when they had to throw them out.
wolco2··on Is Substack the Media Future We Want?
Many ways.

A new product newsletter gives you the edge on sourcing products.

wolco2··on The Life in the Simpsons Is No Longer Attainable
The point being even the largest newspaper (nyt) read countrywide is more regional and local than in other nations and a national paper read by all doesn't exist.
wolco2··on Email providers – which one to choose?
They need to self host.
wolco2··on Ask HN: What are you surprised isn’t being worked on more?
When the full paper costs .50-2.00, .25 is too much per article unless you get the entire paper.
wolco2··on Stealing private documents through a bug in Google Docs
No and if it came up it would work against you. It means you are working for basically free for Google at least you can put it on your resume although that might work against you.
wolco2··on Stealing private documents through a bug in Google Docs
I would stop sending these in and keep them for myself. I may trade them or sell them or write about but I wouldn't give them to google in the hopes of a payment.
wolco2··on Stealing private documents through a bug in Google Docs
Minor? Depends on if you use the private doc feature and what lawsuits may follow. One of them will cost more than the bounty just to look at.
wolco2··on Chemicals called PFAS and PFOS are in the blood of virtually every person
A real expert goes so far into their craft that when they emerge the very foundations of what they understand is less sure and more unknown.

Experts who have strong unchanging opinions are really former experts pretending some point in the past is frozen.

Huge deal not everyone is running 4 cores.
wolco2··on SaaS We Happily Pay For
Might be offtopic but adding friction might seem like a good time balancing matrix but what you are doing is filtering not the worst leads but probably the easiest ones to convert. Those willing to go back and forth on time will build muscle memory and make a deal easier. The others are still cold.. they will take additional effort during the sales calls.
wolco2··on Domino’s Pizza drove increase in stock value by acting like a startup
The stock market is a popularity based platform where you try to figure out where the market is heading and go first.

Fundamentals are important but they don't themselves drive the market because fundamentals are already known and should be factered in.

wolco2··on Ask HN: What startup/technology is on your 'to watch' list?
Why does everyone have to become vegetarian?

When everyone stops eating meat and turns to "healthy" meals like corn based vegetarian burgers I think we are all worse off.

Variety, locally grown produce, locally raised animals is the best way to keep diversity and quality. The vegetarian food available now is good because it's not as mass produced.

wolco2··on In study, acetaminophen makes risky moves seem less dangerous
Naproxen isn't a direct replacement for ibuprofen, acetaminophen or aspirin.

It much stronger and has different interactions. For example you shouldn't use when taking cipro.

I've used it and found it works really well but uses a different method for reducing pain compared to the others.

Strangely true in my experience. But it makes sense..

wolco2··on Ask HN: Why does Pinterest dominate Google text search results?
For the amount of people hired you would assume they had the best people.

But their hiring process is broken. They randomly hire a % of people who pass an algorithm test. It's so random that 70% of their workforce wouldn't be hired again if they had to go through that process.

The brand is so strong that people think anyone who makes it into google must be the best of the best. It's more like a random person who has studied leetcode.

Start investing in nuclear and you can have both.

You realize in 600ad the temp was a 1 hotter than today. There is no maybe we reintroduce at a later time because whatever you think needs to happen with climate change never will.

I would rather you pay more and pay the full costs of your electrical use. Use solar, wind or invest in a nuclear plant if removing carbon is imported.

Causing extinction in the name of climate change when really it's about cheaper prices is a non-starter.

There is a great map someone built to show voting by neighbourhood in sf. They are nationally the most liberal homeowners.

wolco2··on Ask HN: How deep you go in reading HN news?
Two pages deep, the " ask me " when that runs out.

I'll read the comments of say 10-15 items and rarely the story itself.
