yannick··on Ask HN: The government of my country blocked VPN access. What should I use?
does this include bali? curious as that would impact the large international population.
yannick··on We Expect 300k Fewer Births Than Usual This Year in the US
the force that keeps humans bound to earth won’t be gravity, but demographics.
yannick··on Launch HN: Rally.Video (YC S20) – Dynamic video platform for social groups
This is great! Well done
yannick··on Sympathy for the Incel
sorry, but didn't you read the article?

It begins with years of bullying at school, well before puberty.

Making sex work legal doesn't seem like a solution that addresses anything about the actual root cause of this issue.

yannick··on USS McCain collision ultimately caused by UI confusion
thanks for this comment!

A great reminder that "the way things are" often are just accepted, never questioned, even ritually enforced; all while drifting further and further from better ways.

you forgot laundry.

Mom doesn't do my laundry anymore; doing laundry sucks; the world desperately needs an uber-for-laundry app.

sounds like useful software that could be someday be added natively into whatever the future OS of cars look(s) like

I think Hacker News should kick off every ShowHN thread with a comment from CouldBuiltThatInAWeekendBot
yannick··on Ask HN: would you pay to guarantee your app's first 1k users?
thanks for the feedback!

it would be users from a list of self-described 'early adopters', the type of people who love the internet and startups and are eager to try something new.
yannick··on Pre-branded domain names for startups
This is quite a good idea, and the site itself is very nice and easy to navigate. Congratulations.

Seeing a domain name with an MVL (Minimum Viable Logo, haha) is really much better for imagining how strong it could be than just seeing it listed in text.

However, I found the selection too limited. So I think an interesting model for you would become a marketplace: 1- invite squatters with domains to sell to post their names on your site 2- invite designers to freely create logos to un-logoed domains 3- sell this wider selection to your audience, sharing the revenue with both squatters and designers.

Good luck - with more selection, I would easily find the service worthwhile at that price point.

yannick··on A Business Insider retrospective
I'm glad Marco wrote this piece. I've been a reader of BI but had no idea they employed these kinds of practices.

It's incredibly misleading, frankly unethical, to post content like that and pretend like they're publishing with the author's consent. How disappointing.

very good point, thanks.
yannick··on Show HN: visual search web designers
yes! but (I think) it's only for agencies and that tends to be too expensive for many projects- here we're trying to also show individuals.

Thanks for taking the time to give feedback. Could you say what was behaving badly in Chrome so we can fix it?
