Too bad, maps.me was by far the best maps application for non city use, and ideal for hiking. Commendable initiative to bring it back in its original version! A few examples of why it was so great: Simple, non social bookmarks. As in: place

Yes, sure. Then again I'd prefer my kids to grow up in a society where almost everyone has similar access to daycare, schools and uni, as opposed an increasingly stratified one that ultimately isn't safe outside of your gated comm

Anyone saying that this isn't possible in Berlin is stuck in 2010. Today there are most certainly well funded startups paying 100k for top senior engineers and/or managers, but that is in the top 10% of salaries in this field. Bey

I get your point, but maybe Mainz would be more well known if we called it the Mainz vaccine? ;) Hell, we let Trump present the Mainz vaccine as if it was his personal achievement. Germany has got to do better here.

This should really be called the BioNTech or even "Mainz" vaccine (similar to the "Oxford" one), but Germany is terrible at this kind of marketing

The workplace RPG character sheet model is pretty promising I think, great to see more innovation in this space (akin to https://boingboing.net/2004/03/16/ninjas-and-pirates-d.html )

Not sure what you mean by click type?

Unlike Google, which is making hundreds of billions with ads, we have zero reasons to track users - customers pay us to stop bots, and that's the product we provide.

With our hCaptcha Enterprise product ( https://www.botstop.com ), showing a CAPTCHA actually only happens in rare cases (relatively speaking..) - vast majority of bots are caught and stopped in the background (using ML), and most

Great catch. If you'd like, you can actually submit a better translation via a pr here: https://github.com/hCaptcha/hcaptcha-i18n

Google reCaptcha likely discriminates against non Chrome users, hCaptcha does not. Also, we support and co-develop https://www.hcaptcha.com/privacy-pass !

Google uses reCAPTCHA labels exclusively for themselves, and is extracting hundreds of free person years of labor from internet users every single day via this. hCaptcha lets anyone access this type of service, provided they follow certain

You only put hCaptcha / BotStop where you actually need the protection, and it certainly doesn't follow your users around unnecessarily

I think parent means hCaptcha enterprise in passive mode, where hCaptcha is detecting bots in the background using ML: botstop.com

OP here, and full disclosure I work with the hCaptcha team. Yep, Cloudflare is a big part of this, but you'll find our enterprise offering (BotStop.com) running on many many other large sites and apps. If you've used the internet

Unlike Google, hCaptcha isn't running an ad network "on the side" of their bot management business :) joking aside, hCaptcha is an extremely privacy-conscious operation, Google is not.

It's interesting (in a "responsible conspiracy theorizing" kind of way) to note that there has been very little innovation in this space (with the exception of the very recent emergence of 'rolling funds'.) The VC m

Consider hCaptcha - it's basically a superset of reCAPTCHA's functionality, but much more privacy-friendly and more affordable at scale. Also, it lets anyone label their data on it, not just Google. Full disclosure, I work with th

I assume this is marketing play to get more people into crypto by at least somehow creating the appearance of it being an actual currency already. I doubt many people will actually use it, but it may convince more crypto-curious folks to ac

Good to see some data on how common/uncommon this may be: it seems that 2% of confirmed patients suffer from some form of "Long Covid", which definitely isn't great news, but certainly better than what some overeager med

Really depends on what you want to do. For most things, I'd say forget London. Brexit means Brexit. Do consider Berlin. Yes, it's more bureaucratic, but depending on what you'll do you'll have access to a much larger mar

Really great to see some actual non incremental innovation happening in the search space. When looking at Golden's value prop, it becomes clear that Google has actually been somewhat, ehm, lazy when it comes to making search better, re
