shapiro92··on VW opens preorders for the ID.3, its first long-range electric car
ehmm what? the 30k is for 330 km the 44k is for 420 km the XXk is for 550 km

Model 3 comes at around 45k for the 550km and includes autopilot and an amazing interior.

shapiro92··on Magic: The Gathering is Turing Complete
but those interactions are actually not as large as a real time game such as Dota or even Go. Your deck has an X amount of cards and the synergies can be easily calculated from a machine. The real problem would be, is it smart enough to beat an unknown opponent deck?
shapiro92··on Ask HN: What is your money-making side project outside programming?
i did the same but added to the mix data acquisition aka crawling or buying from someone else and re-selling.

It can be tedious sometimes but boy it did pay well. I stopped as I decided to get back into the workforce instead of going solo.

shapiro92··on Life of Brian at 40: an assertion of individual freedom that still resonates
IMO the idea was not to make fun of Jesus but the followers of Jesus. This is clearly shown when people start following Brian for no freaking reason and start creating "miracles" just because they want to believe it. The movie lives side-by-side Jesus and criticizes faith in a satire approach by using Brian and his cult followers.
shapiro92··on EU Council of Ministers Approves Copyright Directive
but then even more to the point. Will each country create its own "firewall" ? unlikely.. maybe a new business opportunity arises :P
shapiro92··on EU Council of Ministers Approves Copyright Directive
but the question is how will they enforce this? let's say there are X units of content that based on the directive should not be available to Europeans through platform Y.

How will they know? unless someone reports the content its impossible for any EU system to catch that.

shapiro92··on Show HN: Weight Lifting Algorithm Based on 5M Workouts
is there ANY science behind this? did you take into account weight, height, weather, diet, mood, sleep time, gender, prior experience, age, stress levels, drug consumption, proteins... I could go on..
shapiro92··on I tried creating a web browser, and Google blocked me
Can someone explain to me why this project requires a DRM? From my understanding the DRM is used to block people from taking the content itself, but if this has public/private/offline abilities what is the point of a DRM? it is supposed to be between peers.
shapiro92··on How not to hire a software engineer
> All the things most programmers do these days are pretty mundane and the only thing you need to ascertain is if they are familiar with the technologies that are being used.

this is exactly the company/boss i would not want to work for. It is exactly the opposite. You should not care if the person if familiar with the tech you use. Who cares if you do php or c#? Does it REALLY make any difference when it comes to taking the business logic and adapting it into MVC/API?

shapiro92··on Reasons to Quit Twitter and Facebook and Switch to Mastodon
I was gonna talk about the same thing. Yes some topics might be black and white, but what about the ones that have a gray side?

There are so many problems that arise, in the same way extremists could gain majority and outcast other people. This also creates an unhealthy environment in which discussions are not open due to being afraid of being banned.

Expression of the majority over-rules the right of expression and this is not right.

shapiro92··on Give Me Back My Monolith
You can break up the monolith, use a message broker or even let the services communicate via http but you do not need K8s. Its pointless unless you want to orchestrate multiple vms/images and your infra scales to that of more than 10-15 servers/containers etc.
shapiro92··on Give Me Back My Monolith
the problem is not the division of a monolith into microservices but the over-engineering of those microservices.

No you dont need docker. My recent .net core project had 3 projects (FE - API - Dashboard). Each one was deployed with CI to their respective server but deployment, qa etc was done all outside of a docker env because there was nothing the env can alter. We knew we develop in windows 10 and deploy/qa in ubuntu xenial. the CI was configured around that and then send the dlls to the server and restart apache after deployment.

The only thing that I can see for the need of docker is if you want to include your database inside also, but we opted-in for an on cloud db (azure) and each service had its own.

Once again we go to the discussion in which the problem is not the technique (microservices) but the over-engineering of such solutions.

shapiro92··on Four Startup Engineering Killers
Totally agree, management most of the time has no clue what is actually required because in early stage they dont know what they want in reality!

Glassdoor and similar reviews are completely useless.

shapiro92··on Don’t Get Clever with Login Forms
the split sign up fields is actually a security design

there was a recent study for reddit showing that actually most users dont do anything and the whole content is generated from not even the 10%
shapiro92··on Dropgangs, or the future of darknet markets
in most cities those places are even more heavily monitored through CCTV than a park, so I am not sure if it adds value. On one hand you have the god eye in the sky and in the other CCTV in a metro.
shapiro92··on Ask HN: Go-to web stack today?
oh just checked that certbot has updated their instructions for nginx. Taking that back.
shapiro92··on Exploring the .NET Core Runtime
i know a few companies using .net core for example checkout.com could you elaborate a bit more on what stops you from using .net core? I have been writing web apps since version 1.0 and had no issues.
shapiro92··on Show HN: Founders launching startups on Twitch
Hey All, just finished my 24hours working on https://moovoo.space/ you can find the whole experience here https://www.twitch.tv/czioutas/

The idea is to make a TV online but with content from indie film-makers, free movies (public content) etc without making the user pay!

shapiro92··on Ask HN: What's the largest amount of bad code you have ever seen work?
Huge ecommerce company. Code written from the 90s in .NET was ported into PHP using an auto-library... nothing else to say
shapiro92··on Should you use www or not in your domain? (2017)
yep he defaults without www.
shapiro92··on Where Trolls Reigned Free: A New History of Reddit
I must admit the author is definitely exaggerating about how dark reddit was/is or he hasnt actually seen the darker side of the web.. Nevertheless, there has been no other more toxic concept than reddit. Micro communities that generate their content to be used by people who already are interested in that content to feed on their ego, while being monitored by a few people who believe are the top shit of society because they moderate a sub reddit. Just head over to /r/berlin , a not even tech based sub or anything related to an ideology, ask a question and wait for the barrage of insults.

shapiro92··on Our 4th startup landing page.Looking for feedback fintech b2c product
I understand your skepticism however soon we will be able to also show the credibility of our processing system and also we will be audited by the German Government (BaFin).

In further details we want to remove this card based system that currently exists be it AMEX card or any other royalty system and the only way is if we go from source to consumption (bank acc to service partner providers)

the rewards will be given to you to your Quma account and then you will be able to apply them on any of the service partners we have, for example ride sharing, food delivery, travel etc. Therefore there is no need for a card.

never tried
shapiro92··on Ask HN: How to start a startup that requires a high amount of initial capital?
you can rent a licence, there are many banks doing that in EU. I think you need to do a better research..
shapiro92··on A Message from the CEO of Mozilla: You are overqualified
i think your final point is the most crucial. If you know someone it is just easier. I recently sent a few job applications, but for one company I went through a contact. Within a week, i got an interview with the CTO, without even having a role specified. The other applications? No response or not even prompted for an interview.
shapiro92··on Ask HN: What do you struggle with?
honestly, I am 26 and I just cracked it (I think). So I had a few relationships but they were mostly out of luck/randomness.

Then I realized, I care too much.. I care if I will "invade" their space, if they feel comfortable, if they will think I am a creep or so.

Nowadays, if I want to talk to someone, I just do. It works wonder, I think we create this "cage" of social fear on our own due to our insecurities.
