aakast··on How does IKEA come up with names for its products?
To me, a dane, that would be like saying "sarna" and "særna" is the same. They're not.
aakast··on Show HN: Skills Manager for Your Coding Agent
You use a package manager for linux, one for your projects in node or python, why not for skills in you coding agent? I think it's cool personally, so I just wanted to share.

Not affiliated with this project, besides picking up on it, as the author is in my outer social circle.

aakast··on Google will allow only apps from verified developers to be installed on Android
Sure. You will have the right to root, unless on a device with a locked bootloader. /s

Lets just call it what it is and what we all want. "The right to modify". It doesn't give you the right to copy, so it will never break any law protecting intellectual property.

aakast··on Ask HN: What trick of the trade took you too long to learn?
Completely agree. I have always myself been a proponent of renting and investing in any other assets.

I'm a dane, and we have a very unique mortage system, so I might not have as much feeling in that regard with the rest of the world.

In this case, I just felt leveraging was left out of the equation in the discussions, so it was hard to follow.

aakast··on Ask HN: What trick of the trade took you too long to learn?
Did you account for leverage? I agree with you all the way, however, the top reason it can actually be beneficial to most people is the fact, that they can leverage their money.

Putting it a bit simple, it would mean, that for most people, ncr_(real estate)^t > c*r_investing^t

It all depends where in the world you are, but most places have easier access to loans for real estate than investment, and everything else being equal, the risk is also higher. There might be this line of thought in wake of the financial crisis, that real estate carries close to or as much as the same risk. It doesn't. It's just not zero, and that is the lesson learned.
