Lol, my impression is that OP did exactly that – copied a template privacy policy. They probably don't have a budget for a lawyer to write them a privacy policy, much less a EU-compliant one. If this was a big player in the space, sure

Ha, I just threw out this humidifier after it lingered in storage for years. It gets really gross really fast. Our new warm mist humidifier can basically run the entire season without being cleaned since it's more-or-less boiling the w

Ah, it's SASS style – I was hoping for an open source project. This product seems like a nice feature, but not a standalone product I would pay for (mainly because $5/month is difficult to get approved in a larger organization, it

The source doesn't say this isn't tied to metrics. The base salary is only $450k per year [0]. All the rest of the comp is paid out in other ways. I would wager that there are significant compensation thresholds that are tied to m

This really isn't crazy compensation given the role and the industry. There are many execs making orders of magnitude more [0]. I know there is a bit of sticker-shock for people who haven't heard about top-level compensation, but

Eh, I guess we'll see in a few years if things turn around. It's a bit too soon to tell.

An exec worth millions/year in tech needs decent compensation to take the career risk of steering a declining company.

by jameskraus 6y ago
Devils advocate: you have to pay a top exec more if the company looks like its main product is in decline. Plus 2.4m/year isn't crazy in the scheme of tech salaries - that exec could potentially take other roles that pay even more

I'd love to know _why_ there is such a significant difference in performance between Preact and React here. It's not like the React team doesn't profile it. They must be optimizing for other features over this performance met

Can they probe why this takeover hasn't resulted in a decent Google-branded smartwatch yet? I'd really love a competitor to the Apple watch for Android, but there isn't anything that really comes close.

Nifty. As an Anki user, I see this as a feature I really wish Anki had. This is an area where I am more than willing to spend money for an excellent product (which Anki strangely fails to capitalize on). Good luck, I hope this grows. Obliga

One reason may be that a general fix that produces good hemoglobin is much more efficient than attempting to fix the original problem. People can have a near-limitless number of mutations that lead to defective proteins, so creating fixes f

If you want to dig into the differences more, I highly recommend the book Designing Data Intensive Applications. Analytics systems have different requirements from normal transaction processing systems, so it naturally follows that DuckDB c

There is a bug where the box will be drawn offset a bit to the right and down of my cursor. The interface is mostly good. I wonder how the whiteboards are persisted. Are they autosaved? So they expire? Can they be exported (to some data for

This looks nice. I'll give it a shot on my next sequence diagram.

I was hoping this tool would support directionality/sequencing of nodes. A tool I've used in the past is SequenceDiagram.org for diagraming a sequence of service calls. While a bit old-school, it's good for its purpose. I&#x2

California OSHA is a very different beast from federal OSHA. My wife works in environmental safety (factories are an environment) and she refers to it as "Strict AF". Federal OSHA is basically the bare minimum as to what can be im

Summer 2020. A lot of people who read HN are probably familiar with the style, so they seemed to have omitted a longform of the abbreviation. Other pages on the linked site call it "Summer 2020", "Winter 2020", etc.

I had a similar experience with a rideshare service. My driver drove near me, but then pulled into a nearby neighborhood to pick me up. In retrospect, he was probably trying to get me to cancel the ride for the fee. After the ride, he claim

Unfortunately I could never get RLS to work for me. I opened an issue on it, but it seems like the small group of people with the same issue haven't had the time/drive/knowledge to fix it. The maintainer doesn't want to

I suspect the tracking in VSCode is mainly used to improve the product. It's probably in my best interest, and the interest of the community as a whole to leave tracking on. I mean, I get it, HN is usually a more skeptical and security

In general, stimulants were once more popular as apatite curbing agents. When the drug was developed, they probably thought people would use it to lose weight, so 'glucose eater' has the same general effect they were going for: we

HIV is a virus whose genes are rapidly mutating, even in a single individual (due partially to its genome being based on RNA, not DNA). Due to random chance, it's highly likely that an individual will already have a resistant strain of

Cells are always poised to repair DNA breaks. For example: over your lifetime, your cells will have repaired thousands of DNA breaks due to gamma radiation. The breaks due to CRISPR/Cas9 are similar to the breaks caused by gamma radiat
