   I was intrigued enough to try it, and got as far as clicking "Get Started." Let me try it without creating an account. If the service is computationally intensive, then at least choose a handful of real photos of rooms and let me

   You're welcome for the feedback. I saw the epub import and thought it was novel, but as you said, I don't know of anywhere to buy modern fiction in epub. If you know of legal sellers and linked to them from the site, that would pr

   I'd use this if it had a book I wanted to read. A while back, I tried Prismatext ( https://prismatext.com/ ). It only offered old classics that had come out of copyright (ie, Project Gutenberg) and a handful of poorly-re

   In the US, there's recent case law where the answer seems to be closer to yes than no - but applied to tribal members. The case was McGirt v. Oklahoma, which the Supreme Court decided in 2020: https://ballotpedia.org/M

   I’m an LP in all of Calm’s funds. At the time I invested (and still today), I didn’t care about returns as long as they made progress towards the goal - namely, helping more people start successful businesses who wouldn’t otherwise be able

    Some of this may be Google shipping its executive incentives (as in “Don’t ship the org chart”). Another example: Google Street View is available on the web - unless you use an iPhone and enter the address directly on maps.google.com instea

    This title is pretty terrible clickbait. Based on the content of the article, they aren’t restricting political speech, they are simply promoting it less or not at all. As another commenter noted, that’s probably what users want. Please con

    This survey is using self-assessed cups - without providing a cup size or any guidance. Specifically, a survey asks users "How many cups of coffee do you drink a day?" with no other context. So, "cups" for this study is

    Update that Mr. Egal responded and forwarded my message to the team responsible for robocall enforcement. It would be a great start if the FCC changed their reporting flow to also notify the originating carrier.

    I think reporting to the FCC is a waste of time ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34570065#34570669 ). Following the steps on this site - reporting to the responsible carrier - is nowhere near perfect, but sure beats pre

    Your experience is typical. The process covered on this site is the only realistic shot of getting anything done. It's far from perfect and it shouldn't be necessary, but it's much better than nothing. (It's still worth

    If you can find a Web site or API that offers carrier lookup for a given country's phone numbers, the same process should work. That's far from guaranteed, but Twilio's "Line Type Intelligence" API claims to support

    In the US, 7726 just goes to the receiving carrier (that is, your wireless provider), not the sending carrier. It can help your carrier filter the messages (eventually, sometimes…), but it doesn’t actually stop them.
