There's this famous scene in "The life of Brian" where they gather round to stone an old man to death because he said "Jehova". The judge, in speaking to the condemned, himself mentions the word "Jehova" a

That's actually very interesting. One problem I have started to run into recently however, is that you can't mention the word "blockchain" any more without being laughed out of the room (in some circles), and in many cas

No, you're missing the point completely. His competitors were using the same data source. The problem here is not ads appearing next to "bad" words, or what and who gets to decide what "bad" words even are, that&#x2

The question is: How do you enforce that or even complain about it? Say your Amazon account gets locked for whatever reason due to an automated decision (probably all of these decisions are automated). There is no way to contact Amazon with

Sounds like I'll have to check out Fastmail :-) However, please bear in mind that if you've got to switch over a whole organisation, you'll have to keep UI friction to a minimum. Users who have used Gmail for almost a decade

You have to understand that this is SINO (service in name only), an offering that is there on paper to satisfy procurement requirements of businesses ("Does this product offer this service with that SLA? If yes, you can buy it. If not,

Sorry, how does paying for Google Workspace prevent you from getting your account locked and not being able to do something about it? I do believe that to login to the admin back-end and to contact support in the first place, you need to lo

There is no other service with feature parity on the UI alone out there. I've searched one for ages and would switch the whole org over in a New York minute if there was an (ideally open-source) "copy" of the Gmail UI availab

I’ve often wondered why there isn't a tool that generates regex for you automatically when you feed it a number of similar strings. Is this too complicated mathematically (even for machine-learning), or does such a thing actually exist

That looks very interesting indeed! But it's so absurdly expensive that you have to wonder who the target audience for this service is? From their "Use Cases" page it seems that this is geared towards (shady?) online marketer

How did you enforce this style guide, e.g. to make sure that sales cannot simply write a proposal in Tahoma instead of your company font or marketing publishes a newsletter in Arial using underlined words (gasp)? A couple of years ago I had

Many comments here (and elsewhere) argue for an "allowance", bans, prohibition, prohibitive taxation etc. which all boil down to the same thing. I find it difficult to understand why intelligent people (such as those on HN) who ha

Yes, they look really great and responsive, too. I'd actually like to know how they were done... Are they just basically coded by hand or is there a visual tool you can use to design interactive graphical stuff like this in what I gues

Can I ask what kind of members-only clubs you're referring to that don't serve alcohol? That sounds curious. I do belong to a club or three here in the UK (internationally reciprocal, too) and while they can be rather selective an

Awesome and probably my favourite example of kinetic typography... Can I ask how much one could hope to earn from such a project? First I thought... $5000 on the low-end, as an after-hours hobby project for beer money, beats burger flipping

I actually did some scant research on this recently and found out that they have a free Delphi Community edition which seems almost identical to the Professional Edition, has full cross-plattform capability incl. iOS and Android, and you ca

No offense, but that'd be like if you stopped eating your favourite vegetables because you once met an offensive vegan :-) Why would you move your ENTIRE company to a different language/development system because someone was rude

Google's design language is pretty unsurpassed, well documented and very user-friendly, thanks also to a ton of research that has been done in connection with Android, I guess. So I see nothing wrong with him using that, in fact it wou

I like the audacity and hope you succeed. I have actually wished for someone to create an open-source self-hostable copycat of Gmail (the UI) for a long time. Having trialled a multitude of alternatives (both commercial and open-source) I h

I'd love to tinker with that for my own home automation projects but couldn't find any indication whether it would be available and affordable for such a use case. Any clues as to licensing fees for private/non-profit use? Es
