vextea commented on What I wish I knew about privacy sooner   nordictimes.com/tech/what... · Posted by u/walterbell

There is no separation. Nordic Times is owned and run by the same corporation, Aeon Media Group AB. You'll find that Isac Boman on the board is also the editor of Nya Dagbladet.

Why the Ludlow Institute has decided to cooperate with neo-fascists is something you'd have to ask them about, but these people have decades of experience in masquerading as press when they're really not. Here's an example of green party student activists falling for it:

The contents of the article aren't interesting. You don't invite fascists in because they happen to have a point or act politely occasionally.

Could also just be similar to the case highlighted in Syre with articles copied from Miljömagasinet, where they published them without permission.

Thanks for the warning!

I find it sad that a whole article can be dismissed due to where it is published. By itself, it is completely fine and blasts already open doors to the HN crowd, but I like its concise wording and how it phrases some points, like the one about GMail.

Though it is quite interesting that such a privacy stance on "I have nothing to hide" comes in an allegedly neo-nazi paper, knowing this is the mindset that led so many people to be tracked by nazis. People knowingly went to nazi census. I find it quite ironic.

EDIT: verbatim copy of https://www.ludlowinstitute.org/articles/what-i-wish-i-knew-.... @dang perhaps?

It seems like the article is a verbatim copy from the site that OP posted in the comments (Ludlow something)

So unfortunate that justified text in browsers looks awful compared to documents generated with LaTeX (usually)....
vextea commented on Show HN: Vince – A self hosted alternative to Google Analytics   github.com/vinceanalytics... · Posted by u/gernest

When I started working on vince, I thought I could bootstrap a sustainable business, that was about 3 years ago.

My dream for a business is practically dead now. That snippet is a relic of early days of vince and I will remove it.

I am currently looking for work, and will be maintaining vince as usual (I do a lot of open source stuff) since I also use it with my hobby projects.

I'm struggling finding remote roles now, since remote now means Remote US or Remote EU and I'm stuck here in Tanzania.

So, don't worry, I also use vince so I will keep hacking on it.

Makes sense, wish you the best of luck!

There seems to be some mentions of selling licenses (and pricing) in the source. What are the plans around that?

What about your earlier Show HN post for the same service where you quote:

flumpcakes · 2 years ago
I think this is a very balanced take and probably one that most people should follow. However, I do slightly favour defcon in this mess - why did Entropic take on a project that was nearly "impossible". Why did the firmware engineer add a crypto beg for a "joke".

Entropic wasn't the people that added the hidden screen with the credit

The dump was added in 2014 fyi.
vextea · 2 years ago
Added in 2014, but it's updated continuously, e.g. `math.stackexchange.com.7z (View Contents) 07-Apr-2024 02:18 3.4G`
vextea commented on When 'open core' projects reject contributions for competing with the EE   github.com/hoppscotch/hop... · Posted by u/angry_octet
Sytten · 2 years ago
How dare them wanting to make money. Seriously this is fine, if you are not happy fork it and maintain it yourself. AFAIK this is the whole point of open core.

What you are asking here is that business to support code for free that reduces their revenue. Code is a liability most of the time not an asset.

vextea · 2 years ago
Its the combination of disappointment that it wasn't merged and that it took several months to get back on a significant contribution (whilst adding their own version into their enterprise offering in the meantime). Of course there's going to be some emotions, and rightfully so.
