Super happy user of this [1] it's rather minimalistic but great.

This is such a neat solution to a problem I am facing every day. Especially in an office environment it's simply not feasible to listen to voice messages. What ends up happening is that they simply get burried under all the "normal" messages and forgotten.
I am currently at around $300/mo so still a bit off the $500 unfortunately. My side project, ErgStudio[0], allows people to use their rowing machine to do remote workouts together. I had the idea already a while before the pandemic started but when it hit I finally pushed myself to implement a MVP. My wife helped a lot doing the admin and as a photographer (we took all the promotion pictures ourselves to save money). This was also the first project for me which I took from greenfield to people-can-pay-for-this, which I am pretty thrilled about. At the moment, a bunch of university clubs in the US and smaller rowing clubs in Europe are using it. As a gimmick, when you see the meters rowed counter changing on the website, someone is actually working out somewhere in the world, using our app.

How does this compare to Borg, which I am currently quite happy with.

Have been experimenting with mammoth [1] for postgresql and am quite happy with how close it is to actual SQL.

Do you have any experience with the marketing part? I am kinda in the same situation but have no clue how marketing works and was wondering if you could share any insights.

In an ideal world I would say you're right. In practice they don't even know who they trust.

Because I want to use LE and not other CAs.

Seems like this is currently disabled in Firefox [1]. Do you have any sources for Safari or MS Edge?

From my understanding of the certificate transparency program does not mitigate the threat of them simply not disclosing a certificate they signed. Ultimately this still gives them MitM capabilities as long as they control the traffic or am I mistaken?

Ask HN: Can we expect Flutter to stick around?

I am currently wondering which tech is worth investing time in to build cross-platform mobile apps. Flutter seems to have been around for a while now. However, given Google's track record of r.i.p.-ing services/products I wonder if it's worth my time.

This is awesome. Definitely a feature that separated FF from Chrome DevTools

Do you have a citation for the formerly same life expectancy in men and women. I cannot find any.
As I see it, many main stream users use such a service to avoid geo blocking. Which is a feature you call teleporting. How do you plan to resolve the problem of Netflix/Amazon Prime blacklisting your VPN servers' IPs? Obviously this is part of your product as you list it as a feature. Hence, people might argue that your product is faulty and ask you to return their money.

There's a difference between a potential backdoor and a bug. While a lot of eyeballs might oversee a bug, you have to make an effort to design your backdoor to go unnoticed.
Re:Why Can't Everyone Do the 'Asian Squat'? on Saturday March 17, 2018 @03:47AM (#16605980)
I was more like a by product for me. I started rowing 3 years ago and was really surprised how flexible I got by now. I always struggled doing the asian squat ... but not anymore.
