Is anyone using "AI chatbots" considering they are handing a detailed profile of their interests, problems, emotional struggles, vulnerabilities to advertisers? The machine has "the other end", you know, and we're feeding already enourmously powerful people with more power.

Agnes Varda [1] taught me about the cycle of inspiration-creational effort-showing your work. Nowdays I book an expositional space every year in November and somehow all the work needed is done until then.

Excellent. I love that the link takes you straight to the editor, browser keeps the history, clear design, a joy to use. Made me click around just to see who did it so I can applaud a job well done.
"Confronted" not presented. Lol the screen should also state in bold lettering "This freedom is forced on you by EU which we hate. You will pay for this, and it's THEIR fault, not ours. No hard feelings."
outstanding delivery

Re:Reclaiming the lost art of Linux server administration on Saturday January 29, 2022 @02:00AM (#30124404)
When reporting to one of our clients for admining we fount that it was about 3 times cheaper to self-host their services (webapps, sites, email, fileserver, backup) than it was to migrate to cloud. Although they initially went this road because of compliance with some banking clients, they're pretty happy saving heaps on infra.

Re:Ask HN: Who is hiring? (September 2018) on Monday September 03, 2018 @02:35PM (#17904175)
Hey Alan, not going to apply at this point but just wanted to say hello and thank you for ngrok. Wonderful work.
strangely entertaining
MeteorJS (Node) + React for https://eddtor.com/editor, really quick (1 month from idea to launch), more recently going for Go full stack (server side + template/html package for front-end). After staying on the bleeding edge of Javascript ecosystem for about three years, I missed the simplicity of a reliable server-side language + the battle tested JQuery (I know, right?!) plug-ins.
I strongly agree. Made my "dream text editor", launched with a focus on gamification tools designed around making people write more. Although people liked it (3rd product of the day on Product Hunt, a bunch of sign-ups), in time it became evident that gamification tools create more problems than they solve. We removed/sent to background most of them since, besides a writing calendar and general statistics. I'm more happy to use it now and have a small - about 2% of registered users - awesome community.

Oh my God, the company's growth? Then we MUST axe the CEO. He's just a human, after all. Don't want humans to hurt company's growth. Company's growth. Growth.
