zanedb··on Ask HN: What are you hacking these holidays?
Maybe a Show HN post at least?
zanedb··on Ask HN: What are you hacking these holidays?
Can't wait for Windows/Linux support!
zanedb··on A Letter from the Publisher of Nautilus
How do you propose the money will be collected without credit cards?

I'm assuming you're including debit cards in that statement, but if not: Debit cards? Bitcoin? Wire transfer? ACH?

zanedb··on A Letter from the Publisher of Nautilus
Wow, that's very interesting. I hadn't heard of it before.

As a minor technical note: If the site is truly hosted by GitHub Pages as it proclaims, how does it have HTTPS support on a custom domain?

zanedb··on Firefox is on a slippery slope
> That's what we're moving to by pulling the add-on from Firefox and posting it on AMO.

Why was this not done in the first place?

zanedb··on Ask HN: I have a job; should I still go on Patreon for free open-source stuff?
It's existed for a while, was purchased by Kickstarter some time ago, and was just recently relaunched.
zanedb··on Soylent’s Next Chapter
Do you have a link to the variety pack? There used to be one on Amazon but I can't find it anymore.
zanedb··on Soylent’s Next Chapter
This is only semi-related, but is it possible to order a sample of Soylent?

They ship in bulk on Amazon and I just want to try it (maybe 1 bottle per flavor) before buying an entire set.

zanedb··on Google Home Max is now available
No

zanedb··on Yelp Wi-Fi
You'd be surprised how many people provide legitimate information when asked.
zanedb··on Hundreds of web firms record 'every keystroke'
It's referring to scenario A, since the code only runs on that webpage (or any others with it).
zanedb··on HP installs system-slowing spyware on its PCs
Does anyone know the domain this data is being transmitted to?

Seems to be fixable via hosts file blocking.

zanedb··on SCP-3008: An endless Ikea game
OP here, thanks for making this.

I stumbled across it last night on Reddit[0] and decided to post it here as thought the HN community would enjoy it.

As for price, I'll try to support you on Patreon but for many it's easier to make a one-time donation. Even just making it cost ~$5 on Steam would be a significant revenue source, as I can see this game becoming very popular.

Regardless, it's a very unique game and I'll be excited to try it when I can.

[0]: I can't seem to find the thread, but essentially someone mentioned that this would be an awesome game idea. Someone else then responded with a link to your game. I'll update this if I can find the link.

zanedb··on The citizens of Detroit are building their own Internet
I'd love to see this if you decide to make it.
zanedb··on Ciao, Chrome: Firefox Quantum Is the Browser Built for 2017
Couldn't you just fake a user-agent, or does the website require components only available in Chrome?
zanedb··on To Save Net Neutrality, We Must Build Our Own Internet
Definitely true. Supposedly Motherboard will be publishing some guides on this, so I'll have to wait and see how helpful those are.
zanedb··on Uber Paid Hackers to Delete Stolen Data on 57M People
If you still want to use a Git repo, at least use an encrypted Keybase teams repo[0].

zanedb··on Ask HN: Side project ideas
I have a similar idea to #2 - let's get in touch.
zanedb··on Ask HN: What are you learning right now?
I somewhat agree with what jtchang said, and it may be difficult to reach profitability with obstacles such as those. However, it certainly is a unique idea and I'm sure some businesses will find value in it. On to more marketing, I suppose.
zanedb··on Show HN: Helix – a habit tracking app
Quick question: once you monetize it, will it remain open-source?
zanedb··on Ask HN: What are you learning right now?
Are you interested in building a Facebook competitor? If so, I'd love to hear when it launches.

I know many friends/family members who use Facebook despite my repeated attempts to explain Facebook's business model.

If your competitor respects user privacy, I'll certainly look into it.

zanedb··on Ask HN: What are you learning right now?
Out of curiosity, what does your startup do/what is it called? I suppose your comment itself could function as advertising.
zanedb··on Ask HN: What are you learning right now?
I'm currently learning React Native [0]. It's interesting that it is in such active development, as the course I'm taking (from a few months ago) already has some outdated lessons.

However, I've enjoyed the experience so far and look forward to building other apps with React Native.

zanedb··on Arduino Death Clock
I wish GitHub would add support for that in README files directly.
zanedb··on How Firefox Got Fast Again
ProtonMail or Tutanota are great replacements.
zanedb··on [dead]
I don't understand why a user couldn't just upload a particular image they don't want other people to upload and essentially be able to control the images on Facebook. If no one will review the photos, they have no way to prevent this.
zanedb··on Yes, but what does your startup do?
Are there actually? Can you point me to one such company?
zanedb··on Android Studio 3.0 Release Notes
Well, for writing Kotlin. But Google chose to implement it officially.
