"Read and change all data on all websites" - is that really needed to "redirects to the Hacker News submit page with the title and the URL filled in"?


My take: the stuff is (or was) too good. I still have Tupperware from both my grandmothers. The stuff just doesn't break. My box is full. I cannot buy more.

That is apparently what you get for producing good multi-generations products.


Defo not the case here for consumer loans. A German bank cannot tell you to pay back a loan earlier than agreed on in the contract.


they can. if some of the circumstances that allowed you to get the loan changes. They can terminate the loan agreement and demand repayment in full immediately.

I think this is pretty common in loan agreements but I would guess it's rare to have this actually exercised because usually the change in circumstances is going to be something that's going to make repayment harder (no one is cancelling the loan because you notified them that you now make way more money). Trying to collect the full loan from someone with less money is going to be tough and if they then put them on a payment plan then they didn't achieve anything.

Plus it isn't great for customer relations and poor people are great clients for a bank who knows they can hit them for more and more fees.


You can check out the documentation of the scenarios, they list the created AWS resources. The ones I checked looked either free or cheap to me. No guarantee of course and usage can also generate cost.

Ah thanks, that makes sense. So I only need to run what is needed for the scenario (plus anything I need to complete the scenario), some of them like the one you picked seem pretty light weight, which is nice.


Keep it small and you’re unlikely to get beyond the free tiers, but be sure to remove payment methods and/or close the account after you’ve finished. I had a zombie forgotten account all of a sudden start hitting my debit card one month because of some DNS traffic I wasn’t aware of. It wasn’t much, but I have also had to negotiate charges in another instance. It’s not that the ability to understand and control the fees aren’t available—but for anyone who’s unused to AWS it can be complicated, and easy to forget some single aspect.


Good point, maybe I should use one of those services that let you use virtual cards you add money to and ftheure disposable? Never looked into these, but the horror stories I've seen on HN have seriously pit me off trying AWS even though I've regularly used other cloud providers.


Love it. Always wanted to have exactly this for password sharing. Simple yet secure.


Thank you! Glad that you love it, and hope you'll use it :)


If you use clarity (you are the controller, ms the processor) you are responsible for obtaining the necessary consent from your users. That consent should make it clear to the user what behavioral data is collected. (Commonly referred to as cookie banner).


The benefit over SMS or Authenticator apps is that it doesn't pre-fill codes (and passwords) if the URL doesn't match. But yeah, I also have mixed feelings about it. Just slightly better than SMS maybe.

> I personally can't wait for a way to easily and quickly give money to someone which doesn't involve Visa or MasterCard

Is that really the only way for many people? Where do you live? In most European countries you can connect your bank account to Paypal. And many countries have sms/phone number based transfer systems.


In the US you can connect your Venmo, PayPal, Cash app, etc to your bank account and not involve Visa or MasterCard in quickly transferring money.


I don't care about football. But what can I suggest to friends who really want to see their team playing? What sort of protest is possible? Is there anything that hurts FIFA? What about the sponsors?


Most of that money comes from TV fees and sponsorships. In all honesty, whether your friends watch or not, at this point, it's probably not going to affect anything for 2022. FIFA has already secured the TV fees and they already got their sponsorship money. I mean, maybe you can suggest they not buy the official Adidas world cup ball, if they were even planning on buying it...


You can suggest that they write a stern tweet or reddit comment, like everyone else who likes to pretend they're protesting so they can pat themselves on the back and then continue watching the sport.
