Yes
Germany is hands-off the best country to invest in all of Europe.
They want people who do side projects, but stop them when you work for the firm.
Just send it to them, anyway :)
Re:LOL just got kicked out of @ycombinator on Saturday June 05, 2021 @10:13AM (#27405212)
So you got accepted. Then tell everybody in YC that they're shitty. Then you get kicked and wonder why.

This sounds exactly like Cloudflare could add this as a 1-click feature to save 50% bandwidth.

Apple AirPods.
Startups are the most efficient organisations in the economy. Because you have to get shit done and can't fuck around. A lot of people love to fuck around and do "fake work". Only output and impact matter. Hard work is "hard", and at startups you can't hide "not working". It sounds pedantic but that's quite the reality, a lot of people just don't know what "work" feels like, and don't want to do it.
Re:Flat Data on Tuesday May 18, 2021 @04:20PM (#27200483)
I'm actually very excited about it. Could start a new era of how we develop and work with data.
Congrats on the launch, love the demo!
#5: introduce a subscription fee for 'premium' tier or hosting. That works best by far in my opinion.
VueJS and Nuxt are also massively underfunded and are likely some of the highest-impact projects you can fund: https://vuejs.org/support-vuejs/

For cameras, the resolution is only one of a ton of relevant factors for quality. What's most important is the sensor quality.
Re:Zorin OS 16 on Saturday April 17, 2021 @05:39AM (#26842923)
and: please kick sourceforge.net, that download page is incredibly ugly and destroys the "quality aura" you built up on your own website.

Design is still massively under-appreciated. Airbnb, Airtable and Coinbase and Stripe massively succeeded, because of Design. And Zorin OS 16 is on the right track, but still: hire an excellent Designer to review the entire system again. Check margins, Branding, consistency of the entire system, and more.

Design makes all the difference and creates real business (and user experience) value.

Trying to give feedback (heavy user of evernote, notion)

Hate: - huge lack of basic hotkeys: CMD+N for new notes - no styling / formatting at all in the free version, which is a huge bummer. - CMD+, doesn't show the "preferences window" I expected - Markdown styling

Love - extremely fast (evernote and notion became exremely slow to the point I'm close to dropping both) -

Re:Ask HN: I built it, nobody came, now what? on Saturday April 10, 2021 @10:53AM (#26761897)
Talk to and show it to customers. You'll quickly see if they like it or not.
Re:Charts.css on Wednesday March 17, 2021 @04:11PM (#26496209)
1. Is this substantially faster than JS? (canvas / .svg). Please test this exhaustively. Render time and script evaluation for JS charts is still a huge JS problem.

2. Can this be made interactive, e.g. on mouse-over show exact numbers? Without interactivity, it is still kinda lame

Hire engineers to fix the root cause instead of hiring "employees to do job X". Engineers can automate almost anyone away by fixing the root cause. Lemonade is doing a great job at this.
Love it

I'm very confident open-source projects (also like VueJS, Nuxt, and many NPM packages) are some of the highest-impact donations and philantrophy anyone could make.
There is no legal address, phone, email and no imprint on your page, that looks highly fishy. Would fix that. Privacy policy is missing as well :0
Re:Apple's MacBook revival plan: Bring back old features on Sunday January 17, 2021 @12:50PM (#25812931)
MacBook Pro wish 2021: rounded-edges end-to-end screen, that's the future, like the iPhone and iPad have.
Re:Apple's MacBook revival plan: Bring back old features on Sunday January 17, 2021 @12:50PM (#25812927)
Touch bar is great, but should be an ADD-ON above the function keys, not replacing them.
Re:Ask HN: Do we need a Google Customers Union? Could it work? on Wednesday January 13, 2021 @12:58PM (#25765638)
Your company is user hostile you users are thinking about creating a union - because nobody else is caring about their interest. Caring about users should be any firms #1 priority, lol.
