The main reason why HA accounted for so many requests is probably because it was a polling integration, requesting data every 30 seconds from the server, while the official app either had push events when something changes, or it updated state when the app gets opened.

Even if there is no option for 100 year registration, 10 years is pretty common[0]. Google deactivates an account and deletes all data after 2 years of inactivity[1]. So even if someone stops using the domain, all data would be deleted after 2 years, emails sent to it would bounce for ~8 years, and only then could someone take ownership of the domain. Even if you're using another paid service, your payments would fail, and your account would also be deleted before your domain expires.

They don't. You can switch to LAN-only mode, or disable the network connection altogether and put gcode on a microSD card and print from that.

I was wondering the same, and saw that this was asked in previous Who is hiring threads, but a clear answer on what "Remote" means was never provided, so until that happens here's what I found:

Seems like Europe is a "maybe" https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35428210 and Canada is a "yes" https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35427290

I also looked it up on LinkedIn. Out of 148 employees marked as working in engineering on LinkedIn, only 14 are based outside the US - and all 14 are in Canada.

Some older comments in Who is hiring? Threads say "continental US preferred", and "US timezone preferred", but these comments are a few years old - although the data on LinkedIn seems to imply that this is still the case.

Besides being sick of subscriptions for every small thing, I'm not sure I understand the premise here:

"Pay to download or for other services: Not worth it; users can find the software somewhere else and they don't need your other services."

So users won't pay a one-time fee, but instead they will pay a subscription to get that one software they need? They won't "find the software somewhere else" if it's behind a subscription, but will do so if it's behind a single payment?

> From 2020 to 2023 we grew our team substantially and added layers of management. We now need to simplify Netlify to be more nimble

While management layers certainly do add overhead to varying degrees, simply getting rid of it and trying to be move faster and be more nimble, in my experience, leads to one of two things:

1. The existing management layer work gets offloaded to multiple people who have no interest in those topics, usually without any extra pay for them as well.

2. The management layers get removed without any replacement, which usually leads to long-term overhead across all departments that's often hard to quantify.

Combined with the wish to expand and evolve, especially within the enterprise sector, neither of the above options is a good choice. The only thing such change is good for is cutting expenses in the short term to inflate company value on paper.

I have around 180 orders from Amazon in 2022 in Germany, I've ordered multiple DSLRs/Mirrorless cameras, lenses, all my Gardena stuff, and a ton of more things - never had one single item arrive that showed any signs of use, neither on the package nor on the item itself, and I've never heard anyone else say that they got used items.

It's very weird that you've had so many used items delivered, but it's definitely not a common thing in Germany.

So cringy. Should we also add badges for doing it without autocomplete, syntax highlighting. Hell, why even bother with text, if you didn't develop it by punching cards then you're not a real developer.

Not sure what you consider "real problems".

I already use it instead of google to look up stuff, as well as to learn additional things.

Is it some sort of magical AI that will always produce 100% accurate answers no matter what the question is? Absolutely not.

Is it better than giving me a list of links where some of them contain inaccurate privacy invading outdated garbage written than humans? To me personally, yes - it's much better.

I do have to say that I'm not attempting to solve cryptic crosswords or similar, but rather I use it for things that interest me or that I don't understand. Or even to go through some code I've written, to find bugs, improve it, and so on. And at least for my use case it has been more reliable than a lot of people I know.

> All it shows me is large breasted women and “crystal polishers” (which I never knew was a thing)

It shows me an endless stream of cute kittens. It's amazing.

I'm also confused by the security risks listed, I just checked the iOS privacy report that shows which sensors and data apps used, and TikTok is not even on the list. I'm also struggling to understand things listed in the article such as it accessing texts on the device(?) - like... it can't do that, at least not on an iPhone. As far as "voiceprints" and "faceprints" do they mean it video/audio content can be uploaded to it? Like thousand other apps?

If anything there should be an argument that by default the apps should be better sandboxed and permissions to be an explicit opt-in, this current approach just seems like fearmongering.

By the way, Amazon's CodeWhisperer does that.

> in very rare cases, an independently generated code recommendation may resemble a unique code snippet in the training data. By notifying you when this happens, and providing you the repository and licensing information, CodeWhisperer makes it easier for you to decide whether to use the code in your project and make the relevant source code attributions as you see fit.

>But how will you feel if Copi­lot erases your open-source com­mu­nity?

Jesus Christ, dramatic much? Are people that stumble upon a piece of code while googling how to do something, and end up copying and pasting the code from the repo, really building the open source community? Because that's essentially what it is. Whether I use copilot to generate a tedious function, or I copy it from your open source repo I'm on the same level of being a member of your open source community.

This whole thing feels like artists screaming how AI generated art is horrible, trying to figure out how to sabotage it, or how to start lawsuits - just because their value went down just a bit. Same thing with developers.

I gave it a go:

* CPU Usage is extremely higher than in chrome for video call/meeting related websites.

* Font rendering is horrible on a lot of websites. I think this is more fault of the website developers, but it doesn't change the fact that I as end user with Firefox have subpar experience.

* The native OS integration seems very janky, from swipe to go back, to pinch to zoom, something feels off about them.

* I've encountered a lot more websites that didn't quite work smoothly. This is same as one of the points above of web developers being at fault here, but it still doesn't change my experience with FF.

I want to use Firefox, but not if it degrades my experience - which it currently very noticeably does.

If you're interested in the discovery or the ease of use part of it, you may be interested in https://github.com/sct/overseerr - it integrates with the mentioned software, and it's beautifully done.

I have this in combination with *arr stack, and even the non technical family members use it without any issues.

Even in this completely one-sided story, out of which I'm sure many parts are missing or are presented as favorable to the employee, the employee sounds horrible. I wouldn't want to work with someone like that neither. Was the manager great? Absolutely not. Does the employee come off as someone that's a good culture fit in pretty much any work environment? Absolutely not.

You sound so grumpy. People want cool shots from drones for themselves, deal with it.

Oh come on, someone asked you a technical question - you can't expect everyone to research the country of origin, country of residence, and perhaps a personal situation of every private person, developer, or a company before emailing them.

This reads exactly like the comments on conspiracy theory subreddits like Superstonk.

> I learnt my lesson about giving against-the-grain responses to interviewers.

Generally speaking there's nothing wrong with against-the-grain responses if they're well argued for, especially if you can compare them to the other, more common, options and make your solution sound the best. "Elastic search does this, and it might be easier to cache" don't sound like the best arguments to me.

No.

Your expectations from one piece of software are completely unrealistic.

It'll be implemented for cloud servers as well in the near future according to the official post on the forum.

> In addition to the continuous optimization of this solution, we are also already working on being able to offer cloud servers optionally with IPv6 only. Here we still ask you for a little patience!

https://forum.hetzner.com/index.php?thread/28691-ipv6-only-f...

It's pretty pointless to argue for it on HN, because arguments always turn to technical things like that the website owner can indeed make the website faster and slimmer if they wanted to - and they don't need AMP.

When in reality what I, as someone who supports AMP, is saying is that I don't care about the technical aspects about it - the truth is that with AMP the pages load faster, and are slimmer - with no exceptions. And that's literally all I care about when I need to look up some information on a shitty connection.

I use Node-RED in combination with home assistant, for automations.

It's sometimes overly complicated to follow the flows, or do something relatively simple, but otherwise it's a nice middle ground between built in YAML based automations, and something like AppDaemon which requires writing python scripts.

Perhaps I'm missing something from the home page, but which additional features does it offer exactly? Automatic system updates, which is possible to do with just normal linux distributions anyway?

I mean it says "MoonHome is not a browser-based cloud IDE. You get full access to a remote server over SSH.". So you get ssh access, just like you would with a VPS.

All I see on the main page as far as technical functionality goes is just VPS features phrased differently.

> I can only say that if an imposter site encourages you to pay for something or download code, you will immediately know you are in the wrong place.

That is such a flawed argument. If someone makes an imposter site, they're not gonna keep that warning there. And first visitors would have never seen the previous warning.

Of course the chances of that happening are very low for a website like that, but the argument is still flawed.

The whole thing could be summed up "Because I don't want to", all of those other arguments seem weak at best. Which fine, do whatever you want with your blog, but it doesn't change the fact that the arguments brought up are bad under the disguise of being a big reason for not having https.

Agreed. Been using home assistant for years, and right now it's probably in the weirdest state as far as configuration/yaml/gui goes. And often times you need to go and edit "read-only" huge json file that contains every single integration instead of individual integration yaml files like it was before.

Nabu Casa (for profit company behind home assistant) made some of the decisions that were questionable at best.

Not just US. Take for example Germany, the largest country in EU and most places are cash-only. Although due to coronavirus adoption of different payment methods (apple pay, contactless, card, etc) has been increasing.

Not the person you're asking, but I run the same thing. Here's my setup:

Plex/Jellyfin for watching content.

Sonarr(TV)/Radarr(Movies)/Lidarr(Music)/Readarr(Audio/Books) - For searching/organizing/starting downloads, monitoring for new releases and so on

nzbget/qbittorrent - for doing the actual downloads

prowlarr - to handle various indexers/search providers between *arr apps and downloaders

overseerr - to make everything foolproof for people who are not tech savvy. They can see what's downloaded, and request new stuff and they get an email once its been downloaded.

On top of that I have watchtower which does automatic updates, as everything is running as docker containers.

Honestly it seems like complicated setup, but it's really not, and once set up it runs without any issues. I've had this for a few years now, and there's been maaaybe a handful of times where I needed to fix something.

> They literally sell all your data to anyone who wants is

Where/how can I buy all data for, let's say a dozen users, that facebook collects?

No wonder public is completely misinformed about how ad revenue based companies operate when even on HN blatant lies are highly upvoted.

I can't quite understand this article and its conclusion.

The article says: "[The extension] will collect information about the products you look at and the ones you search for".

Yet, two sentences later it says "The company behind the extension fails to comply with its legal obligations. The privacy policy is misleading in claiming that no personal data is being collected."

So which personal information is exactly included in the data submitted to their servers about the products? Because in that json example I don't see anything that would be even close to personal information.

The remote scraping/execution abilities are not great, I'll give it that. But the rest of it seems like overblown conclusion and interpretation of how it works.
