Thanks for this extensive response. I respect what you created there, my comment was not supposed to talk down your creation!
As I already said, they look great! Wish you all the best and lots of success, I mean it.
Edit: maybe add this explanation about what makes your product so special to your site. I mean this extensive explanation (or did I overlook it there?). I am not sure whether it is a good idea to refer to competing products though, this is a question for marketing persons.
Edit2: also, you are absolutely right, this is a show HN post. I should not have made that part of the comment. I apologise.
I think there are noises specific to railways. And from what I believe this "MetaWindow" targets relevant frequencies.
However, I am sure this also works for the frequencies generated by car traffic.
At least the linked youtube video in this comment [1] does not mention anything about frequencies.
Don’t know what users here think about posting links to one’s own site, but I’ll risk it. I migrated from gmail to proton, and wrote down the steps and experience. [1]
Should be the same for tutanota or others, don’t know about migration script (easy switch) of others, though. For me it worked without any hiccups.
It is frightening, how little tenants are protected from being kicked out by the landlord in the US. Are there major differences between the states?
In contrast to that, I believe tenants are too well protected in Europe, or at least Germany, from sitting out in the cold. For example, if a tenant has not paid rent in months (and is not planning on doing so) it still is legally difficult to put them on the street. I think the term for that is squatter?!
Friend of mine had damage on his property exceeding €10k until he could regain control over his apartment/flat.
This might be a stupid question.
If WhatsApp wasn’t blocked in China and the second WhatsApp account (aka server side) was outside of China, could this bypass the great firewall?
I think this guide is not too bad [1]. Some stuff depends on the business you are in and the company you are applying at. Listing the marital status used to be very important, but I don’t believe it still is.
German companies love official certificates, as if they really prove something (most time it doesn’t imo)
As most people here, I am working in IT. Since there is a demand for us, I don’t feel like I really have to stick to those rules. For example, I gave up on having a German CV, even for non international companies. I was tired of curating two CVs. Companies expect us to be proficient in English anyway, so I expect the same.
> I should urgently get a) my mails out of my personal (non paying) Gmail account and b) get my associated photos out of Google Photos, mainly because of baby pictures which I cannot fathom to lose.
I highly recommend it. It feels like pure freedom, putting a price tag on my personal data. The migration is something done in two steps: set up your alternative service, but also keep the old one (gmail/gdrive/calendar/...) running. Then start to use the new email service, while keeping the old one.
There are enough affordable options and you do not have to migrate everything at once. I started with my emails - gmail is still running and forwards all incoming emails, so I wont miss anything. I already updated all my accounts/logins to the new email address.
The next step was copying all my files from Dropbox, GDrive, and so on to {service I am using}.
The data in the other clouds are still there, but I am going to delete it all soon.
There are things that are not perfect - like accepting appointments, which I still want to show up in my Google calendar. To those mails I still have to respond in google mail. But I am getting there, one step after another. The win so far is much bigger than the loss/pain.
My best interview experiences were with companies that either documented their full interview process on their website or told me beforehand how many rounds there are going to be and what to expect during each round.
This includes sending me a onepager about each interview partner, so I could get to know something about them before meeting them.
In the end there was one extra interview (after the three they told me about beforehand), but that was because my requested salary was higher than the company expected, so they wanted to make sure I was a good fit.
EDIT: Those companies also scheduled all interviews for the same day. This way I could receive the offer/rejection within less than one week.
Luckily, this is not the case where I live. Both sides have the same amount of notice
