Zufriedenheit··on Try Galaxy: A web app to demo Samsung’s OS on an iPhone
Impressive what pwa can achieve nowadays. I would like to have one of these for pre iOS7. I like the skeuomorphism in the old iOS.
Zufriedenheit··on A visual book recommender
Impressive Tool. I would love to have the same for movies.
Zufriedenheit··on Sustainable Energy for All of Earth [pdf]
I like this type of first principle thinking. It makes me hopeful for the future.
Zufriedenheit··on Show HN: Apple Notes Liberator – Extract Notes.app Data and Save It as JSON
Nice tool! Just tried it, works great. Interesting that Applescript exports the images as Base64, or does Apple notes store them like that as well? Maybe converting them to binary when exporting would save some space.
Zufriedenheit··on Ask HN: Why is Tesla stock dropping? Meta?
At its peak Tesla was valued more then the worlds nine largest car companies combined. This high stock price was mostly driven by retail investors. It became a kind of meme stock like GME or cryptocurrencies, whose value was not based on economic prediction but mostly hype and stories. A large part of institutional investors actually did bet against the stock. Tesla profited from that high valuation by selling extra stock to build up a nice cash buffer, this diluted the holdings of investors. Also Mr. Musk has sold some of his stock into the market. But more importantly the retail investor hype has died down now when people have to be more careful with their money because general economic outlook has tightened and stimulus checks have stopped. I think the Tesla stock price coming down to a more realistic level is actually a healthy thing for the company and the market in general. Meta i think reported the first period without user growth. The stock was still valued with an expectation of continued growth, so people now realized that their might be an end to that soon.
Zufriedenheit··on Almost everything on Amazon is becoming an ad
I do my online shopping almost exclusively through comparison sites (idealo and geizhals). They have much better filter options. This also overcomes the problem with dynamic pricing where in some cases shops show me >25% higher price if I navigate to them directly as they show me when coming through a price comparison site.
Zufriedenheit··on Launch HN: Kalshi (YC W19) – A regulated exchange for trading on events
How do you prevent insider trading? Does your regulation account for that? For example how would you prevent an high ranking NASA employee who knows and/or influences the decision of a moon landing from misusing the platform?
Zufriedenheit··on “I don’t care about cookies“ web extension acquired by Avast
I think Firefox extensions are just archives. So with that license it should be allowed to simply download the extension, unpack it and throw it on Github.
