Niantic has a legal requirement to verify that a legal guardian has allowed a child to have an account. To do so, they use credit card verification, a commonly-accepted way to verify an of-age user that satisfies COPPA/similar requirem

I wrote a comment about this a couple months ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23355513 I'm still planning to write a longer blog post about it with more details. I think in terms of enterprise usage, there i

My takeaway from this is "I should probably bite the bullet and learn about Spring Boot." I started writing server-side Kotlin about a year ago and find the JVM ecosystem mostly really nice (leagues better than the Node/TypeS

Something delightful about this update: it has a lot of new features, some very early, but all by different authors. Seems like such a community effort compared to most early-stage projects, which usually are driven by one author in relativ

It's so hard to target web development with how fragmented the ecosystem is, so it's nice to see they have a lot of extensions already. That said, because of how fragmented the ecosystem is, it is difficult for me to jump in. For

This has been a massive issue for me. I've had the same problem off-and-on over the past few years, whether in offices or at home. The work I do feels rather pointless in a world collapsing around me with no short or long term future.

"Hindenburg Research" is already an excellent name for a short seller, but in this case, they are short selling a company creating cars powered by hydrogen fuel cells . 2020 continues to be an incredibly on-the-nose year.

The amount of travel involved in this thing is staggering: > The cellphone tracking data showed about 10% of Sturgis attendees hailed from within South Dakota, with about 19% from border states and 72% from across the rest of the country

Nice writeup! Always appreciate transparency with these sorts of things, as someone who writes a lot of tiny personal projects and sometimes wonders how much I'd have to invest if they ever actually gained any traction. Congrats on hav

$4/mo for 2000 minutes is reasonable. GitHub Actions does 2000 minutes for free/3000 minutes for $4, wonder if they'll drop their free tier a bit without the competition.

The two questions to me are (a) what content will they ban and (b) how badly do they want to increase their cut of pledges? For (a), they've already banned a lot of adult content (thus the rise of OnlyFans, until they follow suit), and

This is good to hear, and makes sense to me. I'll also admit that, now that I've thought it over, I'm doing a bit of apples-to-oranges comparison, given the $4/mo is not just "for 2 gigs of storage," since it a

I'm sad that you quoted that sentence without linking to the grim story that it referenced, which I hadn't heard before: https://gigaom.com/2014/06/30/the-dark-side-of-io-how-the-u-...

Good callout. The GitLab.com registry has a "soft cap" of 10 GB, which seems like plenty of room for most projects, as long as you don't require a long history.

Nice to see the registry is free for public images, but does anyone know where I can see pricing for private images? Is it still the same as the packages pricing[1], because 2 gigs seems incredibly low storage space when it comes to Docke

The particularly fascinating aspect of this I haven't seen discussed is that every other ad I've ever seen on Youtube has a "stop showing me this" option. Trump ads do not. I had no idea that "feature" could be

Facebook has a policy where they can arbitrarily ban you for failing to "prove your identity" if they believe your account does not use "the name you go by in real life." One of the ways they ask you to prove your identi

Thanks for this rec! I see it's also actually archived on Apple Music as well, which is nice. Really wish Beats 1 surfaced their non-celeb-hosted shows like... literally anywhere in the Browse interface.

They've been running Beats 1 for the last 5 years (now rebranding to just Apple Music 1). I like the idea of a pop & pop-adjacent radio station with a lot of different shows for different subgenres (it's obviously patterned af

Microsoft gates plenty of training content behind Visual Studio subscriptions. Also, who is the "provider" of the web platform?

I totally agree with this. I should have clarified that when I say "funding open source," I think of that differently from " paying for software/resources" - this would not involve paying for access , just paying

Rather sad the two proposals here are either "giant browser vendors should pay for it" or "independent web developers should pay for it." It's one thing for developers to pay for things that will develop their indep

Ansible has been nice for replacing a bunch of ad-hoc shell scripts for my Digital Ocean boxes for personal projects. I have a bunch of simple provisioning scripts I can re-run as many times as I want, and I have simple deploy scripts that

Firefox Dev Tools were how I sold other devs on trying Firefox. I think the number of devs who liked the tools and stuck by them is the only reason why as much of the web renders well on Gecko as it does. Certainly, I've worked at smal

Yeah, I didn't mean to imply you had to break the bank to avoid damaging your records. And good note on the anti-skate tracking as well!

I'm a pretty casual vinyl listener (mostly got into it since I like having a physical representation of the music I love, and to reclaim some sense of ownership in a world defined by Spotify and Apple Music). I enjoyed this post, and m
