Noticias do Hacker News: It's easier and faster to pirate an e-book, than it is to buy it

It's easier and faster to pirate an e-book, than it is to buy it 572 by leoff | 464 commentarios de Hacker News. The end of the year is coming, and I have some funds left from my company learning budget. I wanted to give it back to some of the authors that still help me in my developer journey, by buying some of their work online and hopefully contributing to their income, but the following happened: 1. I went to Amazon, since I have a kindle and didn't want to buy physical books. Amazon doesn't have a shopping card for kindle books, so I started buying them one by one. My company uses Spendesk for managing funds, so for each of the purchase I created a new virtual card and bought them. After a few minutes my Amazon account is blocked for suspicious activity, and ALL my kindle library is wiped, and the funds are returned to my company. 2. Not wanting to give up, I go to a different online store, Thalia, to buy the books again. After buying them, I download the files, whi...

Noticias do Hacker News: I am done. I give up

I am done. I give up 580 by wakana | 326 commentarios de Hacker News. I'm writing this post because I'm done. I can't do this anymore. After three failed attempts at building a successful startup and spending time institutionalized, I'm giving up on my entrepreneurship dreams. I tried everything - building an audience, making sure my product actually solved a problem, getting paying customers, and writing high-quality content and contributing to the community. But no matter what I did, I couldn't seem to get anywhere. My efforts were fruitless and I'm tired of trying. I barely had 20 followers, my substack and product blogs didn't get any signups, and while I did get a few upvotes (8) on Product Hunt once, I never had a paid customer. It was as if the world was against me and no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't make any progress. I remember trying to interact and hype up my fellow indiehackers on Twitter, regularly engaging with their content, but ...

Ask HN: Programs that saved you 100 hours? (2022 edition) 414 by zJayv | 492 commentarios de Hacker News. I've asked this previously: https://ift.tt/4DyUd1z But a few years have past and want to see what's emerged since. Although can be new to you vs. released in 2021 or 2022 necessarily.

Noticias do Hacker News: Ask HN: Has anyone here turned around their life in their 40s?

Ask HN: Has anyone here turned around their life in their 40s? 622 by Deutscher | 373 commentarios de Hacker News. I know the best of my life is behind me, but I need help salvaging what's left of it. I've been meaning to ask for help for a couple of years now, but only now got around to it after being scared by my first real suicidal ideation a few nights ago. HN is probably not a suitable platform for this, but /r/advice seems to be not very active and I can't post on /adv/ due to some IP range ban. There are no mental health facilities in the small town where I live. I let my professional network decay and die, and there is literally nowhere else I can get any kind of useful, actionable advice. I'm a 43-years-old single guy, NEET for the past decade. I got my Master's in the US in the late 2000s and was gainfully employed there for a few years (NOT in my field of education; long story) until I had to return to my home country to take care of my ailing father. ...

Noticias do Hacker News: Ask HN: Anyone tired of everything being a subscription now?

Ask HN: Anyone tired of everything being a subscription now? 608 by CM30 | 431 commentarios de Hacker News. Not newspapers or media services (though those can be annoying too), but products in general? It feels like it's getting harder and harder to just buy something in the tech world, especially when it comes to running programs on my home computer. Want a password manager? It's a SaaS now. Note taking app? SaaS. Image editor or office suite? SaaS (thanks Adobe...) This is especially annoying given I generally refuse to rent anything in life, and will go out of my way to buy something upfront simply so there's no risk of losing it if finances get worse in future (or the wrong billionaire buys the company). Yet it seems like it's getting harder to do so, especially when open source products don't exist for that domain. So yeah, why is that? And is anyone else tired of the constant barrage of subscriptions for things that should be one off purchases?

Noticias do Hacker News: Ask HN: Developer abused “sign in with GitHub” and users are being punished

Ask HN: Developer abused “sign in with GitHub” and users are being punished 534 by 2Gkashmiri | 288 commentarios de Hacker News. The offending website "nopecha.com", which unfortunately i found about a week ago on HN itself appeared to be another captcha service but one that was offering "1 Sec" solve speed for text captchas. i was interested and by the looks of it, a lot of people. their webisite only had "sign in with google" so i didnt bother. The day before i check the website out of boredom and saw "sign in with github". i logged in, clicked through a bunch of pages because its the same drill everytime. i found out that i had "automatically starred their repos". by the looks of it, around 500 "stars", the last i saw. suddenly i am unable to log in to my github and the page just says "account suspended." contacted their support and the last response i got from them was "your ban should stay as you engaged...
