   Google chrome, firefox, edge, ie, opera, are now tracking you.

   ddg is my favorite search engine and it has great restutes. It has a built in video player too! The only problem is that i have to use google in a blue moon to get the results it need. Duckside! Brave! Lunix!

• Don't watermark your legal PDFs with purple dragons in suits

  The coked-up AI cartoon dragon attorney. His website, which also features the purple dragon and a bunch of busted links in the footer, says that the firm "integrates AI to lower the cost of legal services." Hopefully this lawyer is making sure this AI isn't making up the cases it's citing, which is a continuing problem: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=ai+make+up+legal+cases. - Source: Hacker News / 8 days ago

• Virginia passes law to enforce maximum vehicle speeds for repeat speeders

  That is not a definitive result. Repairing older cars to meet minimum standards is possible. They also could introduce things gradually and grandfather older vehicles into the previous lack of standards, which is what NY did. You can read about the 85th percentile principle here: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=85th+percentile+speed https://scholar.google.com/scholar?q=85th+percentile+speed I actually cannot check the... - Source: Hacker News / 13 days ago

• Virginia passes law to enforce maximum vehicle speeds for repeat speeders

  It does make sense. See the 85th percentile speed: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=85th+percentile+speed Setting the limit at the 85th percentile and having most drivers drive at it creates uniformity of speed, which is known to increase safety. - Source: Hacker News / 13 days ago

• Mesmerizing Interlocking Geometric Patterns Produced with Japanese Woodworking

  Reminds me of Islamic Mashrabiya screens. https://duckduckgo.com/?q=Mashrabiya&ia=images&iax=images Historically, the screens were quite simple, with more complex patterns rendered in ceramic tilings (symmetry groups, colorings, knots and intertwinings). Now there are good modern screens with more innovative patterns, made with computer-controlled laser cutters. In a quick search for Kumiko examples, I very... - Source: Hacker News / 13 days ago

• NSF director to resign amid grant terminations, job cuts, and controversy

  Https://archive.org/details/resignationinpro00weis From an Amazon review comment: "This book offers an insightful analysis into the history and norms involved in the tradition of resignation in the U.S. And the U.K. Why do the British tend to resign loudly in protest and Americans resign “to spend more time with family” while praising their president? How do these norms benefit and harm their respective systems?... - Source: Hacker News / 16 days ago

• S3 Express Is All You Need

  That's exactly how Userify[0] used to work. (when it was Python; now that it's a Go app, we do the caching in memory using Ristretto[1]). 0. https://userify.com (team ssh key management/sudo authz) 1. https://github.com/dgraph-io/ristretto. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• Gitlab has introduced a five-user limit for free groups

  > A better law would be to forbid "free" offerings by companies. They all are fraudulent "free", since you pay a commercial entity with either money or data. And, corporate "free" rarely stays free. When we first launched Userify[1], it was completely free. After a while, we realized that was kind of a dumb decision and decided to charge, and we lost zero customers. (We decided to only charge if you actually were... - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago

• Ask HN: How to Advertise to HN Users?

  I am the CEO of a small startup named Userify (shameless plug: https://userify.com, innovative SSH key management, self-hosted and saas) and when we launched, a few mentions on Hacker News really kicked things off. Ten years and tons of adventures later, we've hit a bit of a growth wall. It seems like we're still valuable and useful to people and people still like to run their own servers/instances, so it seems... - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago

• Ask HN: Why do SaaS companies not put up screenshots?

  Of course. A screenshot can explain the product and how it works at a glance. One screenshot is worth 1,000 white papers. ;) For example, Userify (https://userify.com, cross-cloud ssh key management for teams, with a nifty color-coded dashboard so you can actually see who has what access) doesn't seem to have any screenshots anywhere. - Source: Hacker News / almost 4 years ago

• Ask HN: Why do SaaS companies not put up screenshots?

  Maybe it's a concern about screenshots not matching current versions of the product, but that shouldn't be a concern on the main product page or home page. For example, Userify (https://userify.com, cross-platform ssh key management for teams, with a nifty color-coded dashboard so you can actually see who has what access) doesn't even have any screenshots anywhere, and definitely not on their main page.
