meteor333··on If the universe is 13.8B years old, how can we see 46B light years away? (2018)
Sorry, can some explain the ‘universe is expanding’ concept? So far I thought it only meant that the space universe occupies is expanding, meaning the matter keeps going farther from its origin point, but I didn’t know the ‘fabric’ of the universe is expanding. I’m not able wrap my head around this concept. Can some please point me a resource that dumbs it down?
meteor333··on Show HN: I'm building a robot that cuts hair, starting with beard trims [video]
I'd love this to get to a stage of getting me consistent haircut. I like barbers but i have horrible time getting consistent haircuts. If I can rely on this robot, I'd switch instantly.
meteor333··on Why US Inequality Is Worse Than Other Developed Nations
That's a wrong interpretation of this article IMO. When anytime income inequality is brought up, the point is not that we need to distribute the income equally, the point is that economy is primarily working for top 1% and not the bottom 99%. This means we need to find a solution so that it works for both classes. The incomes are NOT rising for bottom 99% in fact they are going down and that's a problem.
meteor333··on Apple Launches Portal for U.S. Users to Download Their Data
Thanks for the link. I see an option to download all my data and I'm in US. I guess they are slowly rolling this out.
meteor333··on Dropbox traffic infrastructure: Edge network
I'm surprised there is no mention of security or privacy. I'd have thought that's one of the reasons for controlling your own edge network.
meteor333··on Winds 2.0: It’s Time to Revive RSS
I can tell by my experience of building https://telescope.surf, a lot of the sites are killing RSS or simply not linking it from any of their pages. I had to build crawlers for a lot of the sites.
meteor333··on Cloud Memorystore: A fully managed in-memory data store service for Redis
how does this compare with Redis Labs?
meteor333··on Electric Buses Are Hurting the Oil Industry
Isn't that more than total Tesla cars on the road? I presume producing electric buses are much more complicated than cars. Tesla sounds like a lot hype compared with above stats.
meteor333··on Now Is the Perfect Time for an RSS Renaissance
Shameless recommendation - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16876636 (I built this)
meteor333··on Show HN: Telescope – News and RSS Reader
Thanks for using the app! Let me know how I can improve it.
meteor333··on Show HN: Telescope – News and RSS Reader
Im planning to add premium subscription feature soon.
meteor333··on Show HN: Telescope – News and RSS Reader
Awesome! Thank you! Let me know how I can improve it.
meteor333··on Show HN: Telescope – News and RSS Reader
Coming up soon. Im working a way to subscribe to topics and keywords
meteor333··on Show HN: Telescope – News and RSS Reader
It is available in all countries actually. May be your language settings is limiting the app? It’s only in English for now. Or App Store takes time to index the app in all countries. Please check back in that case. Sorry for trouble.

yup it is stored with bcrypt hash and per-user salt.
meteor333··on Show HN: Telescope – News and RSS Reader
haha. I'm wary of information bubbles so trying to avoid "personalizations", but yes some sub-view with social feed would be nice to have.
meteor333··on Show HN: Telescope – News and RSS Reader
Definitely coming up. Commenting will require a lot of thought and effort so keeping that for later.
meteor333··on Show HN: Telescope – News and RSS Reader
Good point. Im thinking about the best way to implement that.
meteor333··on Show HN: Telescope – News and RSS Reader
Web version doesn't require signup - https://telescope.surf. Considering opening up iOS app as well.
meteor333··on Show HN: Telescope – News and RSS Reader
I disabled it because it looked awkward reading a feed in small height window. I'll test again and reconsider it.
meteor333··on Show HN: Telescope – News and RSS Reader
Just the db limit, but yes increasing to 128 shouldn't be an issue.

Edit: Passwords are stored with bcrypt hash. That's right password limit shouldn't matter.

meteor333··on Show HN: Telescope – News and RSS Reader
Thank you. That helps.
meteor333··on Show HN: Telescope – News and RSS Reader
Correct. Sorry about that. I'll fix that to have instant feedback and uncheck only if server throws an error.
meteor333··on Show HN: Telescope – News and RSS Reader
Can you elaborate on that? Currently the social feature I have is that you can upvote the posts and your feed is compiled based on the upvotes it received across the Telescope community.
meteor333··on Show HN: Telescope – News and RSS Reader
Sorry didn't think about that. Can you tell me what is generally accepted limit for password managers or in general?
meteor333··on Show HN: Telescope – News and RSS Reader
That's very neat. Great job! I'll give this a try.
meteor333··on Show HN: Telescope – News and RSS Reader
Thank you for being the regular user! Let me know how i can improve it.
meteor333··on Show HN: Telescope – News and RSS Reader
