You need to start with the question of who _benefits_ from using your protocol. You think that it's "your competitors", by which I read other software vendors that are providing solutions to the cannabis industry. Hot take:

It's pretty easy to spoof the commit graph on Github like this, since Github bases it on user-provided timestamps and does not question them.

I agree with the comments that a subscription model and delivery through the Apple's app store seem at odds with the 'with data longevity in mind' objective. Requiring a subscription makes me ask what happens when you stop su

This particular article is actually pretty informative ... until the dialog at the end. And in it, he's approving of a _strict liability_ scheme. I doubt most other pro-business ideologues would approve of a law that 'simplifies

Does anyone else see Wozniak as the headliner and shrug? He has no track-record of successful companies since Apple. Why is this news and why did it hit the front page of HN?

But now that these laws are on the books, the existing owners of dealerships actively lobby the state legislators to keep this as the status quo and reduce competition. The dealers, and lawmakers, hope that Tesla will give in and start sel

Down in the thread, they compare their platform to Patreon, which has an app. Exclusive content is a substantial part of Patreon. I'd like a straight-forward explanation of why Patreon is allowed to avoid in-app payments. It seems li

Let's view this practice in the light of another HN truism: The traditional Big-tech hiring practice (e.g. in person whiteboarding) does a terrible job at predicting future job performance. In light of this, let's assume for the s

It's really hard to trust google on anything when it comes to ads and privacy. Will these changes stop Google from tracking and targeting you? It seems that Facebook might have a much stronger case against Google here, since it's

Interesting. When I went in to a jeweler to get my Wife's ring appraised for insurance purposes, the tester they pulled out said that one of the (3) diamonds was moissenite. Not surprised that those testers are nearly worthless.

The list of companies that offer OAuth is not a list of competitors to the service AuthO provides. It's a confusion that the latter has encouraged to draft on the former's coattails.
