This camera's attestation and zero-knowledge proof cannot verify that a photo is not AI generated. Worse, those "verifications" may trick people into believing photos are trustwort…

Patients and providers should have the ability to shop and negotiate price directly with each other. No 3rd party will ever be in a better position to negotiate individualized care…

I've found that as LLMs improve, some of their bugs become increasingly slippery - I think of it as the uncanny valley of code. Put another way, when I cause bugs, they are often g…

Firefox should make it clear that Firefox (browser) will not collect, transmit, nor sell user data beyond what is technically required for interaction between the browser and other…

Building a service on top of the OSS, where some people prefer to self-host, but many don't want to self host. Ex. Bitwarden, Infisical, Docker, etc.

Yes, adding max-use counts and expiration dates to links can mitigate against some browser-history snooping. However, if your browser history is compromised you probably have an ev…

Correct, DNS only queries the hostname portion of the URL. Maybe my attempt to be thorough – by making note of DNS along side HTTP since it's part of the browser ↔ network ↔ server…

To somewhat mitigate the link-loading bot issue, the link can land on a "confirm sign in" page with a button the user must click to trigger the POST request that completes authenti…

To create private shareable links, store the private part in the hash of the URL. The hash is not transmitted in DNS queries or HTTP requests. Ex. When links.com?token= is visited,…

Or, what would be your ideal type syntax?

Hi HN, I've been using Firestore as a DB for various projects and web applications since it was launched after Google acquired Firebase. I built Flame to clarify and reduce model, …

I recently discovered that Rover profiles, which typically have many photos of your pet in your home taken by the sitter for daily check-in, are protected from the public by only a…

The syntax of your language is quite nice. I’d maybe change (for …) to (each …), (fun …) to (fn …), and (let …) to (def …) or (set …) depending on implementation details of variabl…

The list-style properties should be called marker-style, and list-item renamed > to marked-block or something. I think list and list-item are clear. How about just `mark` instead o…

Autonomous electric cars make tunnels easier, which have smaller negative impact on the environment.

I'm working on a board game and would like to build dynamic board builder/generator for the web. Do you know of any JavaScript OSS libraries for working with clickable hexagon grid…

HN needs a @dang apprentice program so it can thrive for centuries.
