Interesting that everybody knows when AWS goes down but Azure needs a "Tell HN" :) Best of luck to the teams responding to this incident.

Part time work is possible. I initially dropped to 4 days/week in lieu of a payrise (comp remained the same). Did that for a while and since then I've been working 2-4 days/week (3 right now) It helped that it was a small com

Interestingly everybody replying to this is saying they spend ~8 hours in bed, which most certainly means they aren't getting 8 hours of sleep :)

Maybe look into a Whoop device. Their business model is unique in the space as it's a subscription, but the tracker itself is solid, has no screen and can be worn a number of ways if you don't want it on your wrist.

I agree with the off-white/black reducing eye strain but HN is not a good example of readability in any way!

Wanted to add that according to the article, these checks will be required for all content, not just adult content.

I would guess it's more expensive than generating certs - all those ID verification "AI" services use teams of people as a fallback from what I know

This seems to be a very common misconception, but the cookie consent dialogues are not part of GDPR.

We do but it's not fully automated just yet, it'd involve sending us an email. Similar story with csv imports, it's half supported but not in the UI yet.

We're making about $600/mo right now working on Oku, which we're building as a social book tracker (and more) and hoping to replace Goodreads with. https://oku.club Here's my profile for example: https:&#x2F

Long term there'll be a button for sure! For now, feel free to email us and I'll take care of it (limited time and all that)

Hi, author here! Would love to have a public API for readng but don't want supporting it slowing us down when we need to change something. It's just the three of us in our spare time at the moment, so we need the agility! I really
