Re:Real-Life Highscore on Thursday May 14, 2026 @11:24AM (#48136817)
Hi,

I’ve built the service highscore.life where you can see how you rich you are - basically a real-life Highscore based on your wealth .

I’ve been trying to make a lot of money for a long time and love tracking how much I have - even if it’s just a few hundred more. But because of inflation it’s hard to keep track how I stack up against reality :)

Bonus: if you know someone who claims they're loaded, send them their ranking and ask them to verify. Settles a lot of arguments.

Have a look - see how you stack up and share your feedback.

There are a lot of wealth data sets around, some fresh, some older and they also use different methodologies - so I also provided rankings for different countries.

Let me know what you think, Dominik

This is debatable and I'd say absolutely not :)
I like Facebook. Always have. Ways will - I stay in touch with friends I'd have a hard time otherwise. If you're unhappy, don't use it.

I think it's more complex than that. I would recommend everyone to join YC. It helps with customers and investors. Most likely your company valuation will go up more than you'd need to compensate for the 7%.

Let's hope his OS doesn't do swapping either
Hi, I can understand your hesitation that giving data to get data deleted is suboptimal, but it's the only way unfortunately. The value is in the service, not the design of the website - I'll take your feedback though.
Thanks for the feedback. LinkedIn profile would be the URL of your LinkedIn profile, not truepeoplesearch. This makes it easier for data traders to find your profile and delete it. Let me know if you have any questions!
In case anyone is interested, I started a company which deletes your data from these data brokers gosauber.com - I hope I'm allowed to post this...
This is only valid for the U.S. though.

Maybe ask a customs broker?
There are many reasons to work for a company and money is not always #1. Maybe your product is exciting? Maybe your team, tech, industry?

Hey guys, why don't you guys stop browsing hacker news and go back to your 200k/year job.
For me the whole point of using netlify is that I don't need to do anything. Set and forget.
Let me know if you have any questions!

Show HN: Delete your personal data from data resellers to stop you getting spam

Hi Hackernews,I've started a service which deletes your personal data from data resellers/traders which as a result stops you receiving sales or recruiter calls/emails.The service forces companies which sell your data to Sales teams and recruiters to delete it. This works via GDPR and CCPA.You probably have never heard of companies, like Cognism, VoilaNorbert, etc., which have received millions...
