Is it legal for YouTube to show you ads even if you paid for YouTube Premium? 2 by rvnx | 5 comments on Hacker News. Is it legal for YouTube to show you ads even if you paid for YouTube Premium ? You pay 150 to 200 USD per year to not get any ads on YouTube, but still, in practice you get ads at the beginning of videos (example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F98wUD4A8QU). These ads are baked inside the feed by the YouTube content creators and YouTube is aware of it. To me it sounds like charging a subscription that doesn't deliver its basic functionality ? I'm intrigued.

Ask HN: How do consultancies transition from client work to own products? 6 by artemave | 2 comments on Hacker News. Hello HN, We’re a small software consultancy (https://ift.tt/3oYDPM8). We have been very successful writing web software for our clients for some 10 years now. However, we want to gradually transition to working on our own products. It’s more fun and hopefully more profitable too. This is of course easier said than done. We did some research and figured that before anything else we need to speak to potential customers and understand their real pain points and where new products could help. We have then tried to engage with people directly (via twitter dm and reddit posts) but to no avail so far. It now feels like we’re doing something wrong and we should probably look for some help. So here are my questions: - How do consultancies make that hop in general? What are the key insights? - In our particular case, who are the people that could help and where do we find them...

Tell HN: I've been using Brave for a solid month 3 by neom | 1 comments on Hacker News. I've been using Brave browser for a solid month now, I installed it October 25th and forced myself to use it consistently for a month. Generally I'd say: - Feels snappier than Chrome, could very well be my imagination but I don't see it killing my laptop nor do I find I get tabs locking up, these things both happen once or twice a week with Chrome. - Ad management in Brave is very aggressive and frequently have to "turn down shields" (a button to turn off all the blocking) - this ends up being an issue on my brokerage platform, condo management app, stuff like that but it's easy to turn off. - Google translate support is horrendous. Chrome can real-time-translate a page, even a chat window as it's scrolling, picks up live changes in the site and translate them. tl;dr google translate in Chrome is very good. - Credit card management in Chrome seems for some reason...

How to create a data catalog, a step by step guide 2 by Etai | 0 comments on Hacker News. Simple data cataloging starts with a great organization. A data catalog is a collection of metadata and documentation that helps make sense of the data sprawl that exists in most growing companies. Getting together and starting to use a data catalog is a simple process, but starting to get adoption and having the dictionary exist as part of your workflow is a little bit more difficult. An example of the data catalog problems shared by one of the delivery companies we spoke with. At this company, it was difficult to get aligned on which tables were commonly used, joined, how they were used together and what columns meant. Similarly, it’s difficult to monitor the number of data assets that exist across different departments, especially when the number of resources grows at a faster rate than people. Why is this the case? Data is becoming more decentralized through concepts like the data mesh. As ...

Ask HN: How did you learn math notation? 5 by rullopat | 5 comments on Hacker News. Hi all! I'd really like to learn "higher level than highschool" math as a (long time ago) college drop out, but I find it really hard to read anything because of the math notations and zero explanation of it in the context. I didn't find on the web any good resource on the topic, do you any advice / link? Thanks!

Ask HN: Why are developers so stingy with “rows per page”? 5 by quiffledwerg | 2 comments on Hacker News. Why the heck am I usually allowed only 20 or 50 or maybe 100 rows per page with whatever I’m looking at? Is there some sort of shortage of CPU time? Why not all me to see 500 or 1000 rows per page so I can scroll through the things you’re trying to sell me without needing to press “next” every 5 seconds? Developers please, there’s no shortage of “rows”. Give us more.

Ask HN: Tips on Sysadmin Job 3 by linusb | 0 comments on Hacker News. Recently I got a promotion at my job. I was working with another guy in a small company with an even smaller IT department. That guy was fired and I got the position to be the only sysadmin at the moment. I never had any experience working and managing the whole IT infrastructure, because the company has 4 campuses around the city. I'm kinda confused on how to manage everything, my background is with information security and it's going to be a big challenge for me because it's my first job.
