Privacy.com is an excellent product, i recommend everyone use it. Excited to see what this company becomes in the future.
epa··on About 150 U.S. Cadillac Dealers to Exit Brand, Rather Than Sell Electric Cars
Buyout makes sense for all parties as existing dealers obtain more of the declining cadillac buyer/owner market share.
epa··on Mmhmm
Tried out mmhmm in beta, very cool. I deleted the app because I can't share my screen in zoom to show presentations easily. Its somewhat useless if that is not integrated properly.

epa··on Stripe migrates Stripe Subscriptions users to more expensive Stripe Billing
Email your rep and tell them you want to move to interchange plus pricing.
epa··on Nearly 12M Square Feet of Vacant Office Space in S.F

epa··on Why hasn't prefab construction taken over?
I don't fully agree given that housing and materials prices rise every year. 7 year delay adds how much $ to a project in inflation?

Awesome to see an original EEE Pc still being used in 2020!
epa··on California DMV Is Selling Drivers' Data to Private Investigators
DMV needs to be outsourced to the auto insurers who earn off of applications. This way we don't end up with 1 location for an entire city.
epa··on Show HN: IPOs.fyi – Missing Out on IPOs Was Frustrating, So I Fixed It
SPACs will do an IPO and will be included, i think OP meant SPAC's who acquire companies for which the acquired company now becomes public (these situations would not be included). Either way, see above links.
epa··on Show HN: IPOs.fyi – Missing Out on IPOs Was Frustrating, So I Fixed It

epa··on Why Big Tech Is More Competent Than the US Government
I wouldnt go that far. How often do you hear product managers talk about 'scope creep', 'minimum viable product', 'launch first and fix bugs later'. The government's job is literally bug fixing and maintaining legacy code base. Big tech are not good a this, you can't rewrite social institutions via roadmap.
epa··on Show HN: Visualize any topic on Hacker News
Very cool for finding old HN topics, like this one where Paul Graham is conspiring that bitcoin was created by a government (2013).

epa··on Etsy sellers are furious over new mandatory ad fees
Clearly they were getting free advertising subsidy, so maybe they don't fully know their costs.
epa··on Etsy sellers are furious over new mandatory ad fees
Its win win for store fronts.. prices will just go up to compensate.
epa··on TripAdvisor cuts hundreds of jobs after Google competition bites
Can you elaborate why you think they are bad?
epa··on The Future of Plagiarism
Isnt that what newspapers and morning TV shows have been selling for 100 years?
epa··on Boeing CEO ousted as 737 Max crisis deepens
Train driver is one of the best jobs in the train business, one that takes 10+ years to step into (more demand than jobs.. goes up the union ladder). Complaints at that level will be rare and replacements can be found easily.
