I will only say that censorship is pretty similar to dictatorship.
akerbeltz··on Ask HN: If you had millions to invest, what sectors would you bet on?
Water!
akerbeltz··on Ask HN: What's one book that changed your life?
Gates of Fire, by Steven Pressfield, because I realized how simple are my own troubles compared to those 300 spartans that faced death against a force that easily was 1000 times bigger. Now every time I’m facing difficults I remember about those guys and nothing looks so hard in comparison.
akerbeltz··on Ask HN: What laptop do you use?
After using a MBP 2011 17" during 4 years I returned to Windows because I never got used to macOS. I love the myriad of apps in Windows and since I love gaming (both play and develop) Windows is the platform to go.

Back in 2015 I bought an MSI GS60 2PC GHOST and it worked great, but the build quality wasn't that great. The aluminum case wasn't that good comparing to a MBP and the rubber feet unglued quickly. Since I needed Linux for app development, I installed a VM. After WSL was launched I was in heaven.

I used it for 2 years without any major issue and a year ago I bought another MSI, an GS73VR 7RF Stealth Pro and the build quality was improved for sure. After a year the rubber feet are still there and the aluminum case is great. I haven't had any issue with it. I love it and my next one will be an MSI again.

I upgraded the RAM to 32GB and changed the secondary HDD to a 512GB SSD drive, since I hate turning off the computer every day, and I burnt 3 HDD drives this way xD

akerbeltz··on Ask HN: We have a great team and capital but can't find a good idea
If you see this and you’re open for ideas to be developed ping me here. I have a bunch of them, and I have the ability to execute them, but I need a good team. I haven’t had much luck in the past (and present) with partners. I’ve started some startups which are running, but for a particular project I need a smart team. Let’s talk. Regards

Funny to see that when you click the "Yes, delete it!" button in the examples, a regular alert is displayed...

At least in terms of size, the mp3 strings are 23%~ lighter than the ogg strings.
