I try to determine where the main sources of noise are and I ask about the insulation of the apartment (double glazing, thickness of the walls, the front door ...) with some experiences you will be able to determine your level of acceptance

I've never thought about this feature. It looks very amazing!

Re:DNA: SSDs of the future will be radically different on Friday April 14, 2023 @06:47PM (#35575852)
I disagree with you, the main problem with our current storage is the energy consumption and use of natural resources. Also, the fact that data capacity is growing so much more than storage capacity is alarming. Of course, we are still in the early stages of this technology, but it has so many advantages, just the fact that data from a single data center could be stored in only 5 grams of dna is astounding

And please, what are your sources regarding "more expensive and less reliable than existing tech for decades". While our current ssd and hdd can last 5-10 years, dna could potentially store them for thousands of years.

It reminds me a reportage of Arte, about how a significant part of the American population is a victim of their system. Most of them grow up in an underprivileged neighborhood, where access to healthy food is more difficult, where soda ads are ubiquitous
Re:Ask HN: Is there a decent alternate to Spotify? on Saturday April 08, 2023 @02:22PM (#35496119)
pandora.com is my favorite, their algorithm to make you discover new songs is amazing. But you won't find as many songs as on Spotify. Maybe you should look at youtube music
I read an article in the NYT talking about this topic. The naive idea is to think that we will be able to create tools with AI to manage this kind of disinformation. We all know what happened at the capitol in 2021, with an even more advanced disinformation, what could it lead to?

What you say is interesting. A few weeks ago I created my reddit account. It's a bit complicated to get started but the discussions are so much more interesting. The fact that you have to have karma points to post is very interesting. But the problem with creating closed groups is that these people won't have access to different points of view.
Re:Ask HN: What games are your kids learning the most from? on Wednesday March 22, 2023 @01:43PM (#35264525)
I'm 25 yo. From 6 to 13 Pokemon then Minecraft since 2012. I learnt a lot from this game, from patience to perseverance, from just finishing to speedrunning games. And 9 years ago I started to play chess, now I'm in the top 5% world, the strategy behind it looks impressive but this is especially about your knowledges.
Re:Ask HN: A Tool to plan KPIs and keep track of them? on Wednesday March 22, 2023 @01:28PM (#35264294)
Isn't google analytics + excel enough ? I used to use only this to report my PPC metrics and it was fine. There are plenty of solutions but it was very simple and easy to do. Maybe you should just look for an Excel template ?

But maybe you can look at https://www.kpitracker.io/

It was very useful to configure everything, thank you
Done, thank you
Thank you very much for your answer. I have set up the SPF record and the DKIM. Everything is fine. I hope tomorrow my emails will no longer arrive in the spam folder.

Ask HN: I'm sending emails from my website to my Gmail but nothing arrive

To be more precise, I have a landing page (https://charge.ovh/landing) and it is impossible for me to receive on my Gmail account the email that should be sent by the website. However, on my ProtonMail account the email arrives at its destination.Do you have any idea how to solve this problem?Best -- Valentin

I've experienced a situation like that few years ago, I didn't get fired, but it looked like it. I've felt lot of anger, incomprehension and like you I wanted to burn bridges. Most of the feelings that I felt were wrong because I was very emotionnal. It turned out that I recontacted people from this company last year and they were really happy to hear from me again. The thing that helped me the most was having long term goals but also short, it kept me from burning bridges and thinking beyond myself.
Ok nice, I contacted you on Twitter.
Re:Stop Using LastPass After New Hack Method Update on Saturday March 04, 2023 @02:09PM (#35023524)
I used to use keepass and switched one year ago to bitwarden. It was a game changer, much easier to use.
It took one month, 20 december -> 24 january (rejected)
