Are you saying that you don't want to deal with Purchase Orders?

Is that because you don't want to provide a product in advance of payment or just the overhead of creation/tracking?


I want to do business, but without all that nasty business stuff


99% of my customers buy straight from the website no questions asked.

I only get PO from larger companies, and I only do it if they’re buying a lot of seats, or if it’s a strategy customer


I like how this looks but I have a feature suggestion....

Could you crowd-source categories/tags for the stories and then try and implement an opt-in / opt-out function that lets us exclude certain categories. I'm not even sure if it's possible but you're some of the way there.

(Disclosure: I made it)


Care to share how you do the tagging?


Sure. I extracted tags from here https://lobste.rs/tags and expanded on that just from having spent a lot of time on HN. Then the app uses GPT3.5 to choose the appropriate tags for each story from the master list of tags.

Thanks that's a good idea! I think I'd need to use AI to categorise each story, then maybe have different tabs on the page for each category...


Do the definitions of these two overlap? Apart from having music and images?


My kids would go crazy if I got a job for these guys :-D


Can you please provide a reference to the regulators coming after an engineer in the UK.

Also you say regulations in the UK have been changed recently.

I'm not aware of regulations that apply to software engineers.


I think your last sentence is correct. I think author is saying that you can't make it work and THEN make it right with payment systems.

This is my opinion as well and I've been involved in the audit of a fintech system where auditors had to download EVERYTHING into excel spreadsheets and make the numbers balance before they would sign off on the books. That took a lot of time and money I'm guessing made a difference of at least .1 unicorns in the liquidity even that took place 3 years later.


I was going to say the same. There is a chance that they sailed to the location.

However a 6 hour flight from the closest major city would have given off 1500 kg of CO2 (per passenger). And presumably another 1500kg to get back again.


I was going to say that I was disappointed that the page didn't show the formula for the probability and show how it changes as you change the number of people in the room.

Then I checked the wiki page and understood that some of the maths is actually quite fiendish (for non mathematicians anyway) - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Birthday_problem



Do you have any paying customers?

The premium plan has a quota of approx. 4 tickets per day which feels quite low for a tool used by a company. What happens when someone submits a ticket but the plan has used up the quota? Does it just get deleted?


Says here[1] you won't be able to create new tickets. Which is a bit surprising, I would have expected something usage-based with so few included. Like you get 100 included and then you pay per additional 100 or whatever.

Btw the quota link in the FAQ is broken, had to dig in the admin manual for find this page.

thanks for your feedback! :)


We do have paying customers, and since the premium plan is targeted for SMBs, we think it's enough. I'm open to suggestions about the quotas


The quotas all seem to be an order of magnitude too low.


Also cost per ticket gets more expensive in the higher price brackets, which you wouldn't expect!


What do people think about the Copyright notices on the images? Can someone with knowledge of Irish law comment on how something so old can still be considered copyright? Is there separate rules for images of art in galleries?


No knowledge on irish law, but the photo itself has copyright separate from the thing photographed


A simple photo of a page might not be copyrightable if it doesn't show a modicum of creativity.


I think they're alot like adding raw sewage to the soup at the salad bar, so that people don't steal soup. It probably works, and the most important thing about soup is that no one steals it. You wouldn't steal a medieval manuscript would you? It belongs to the world as a cultural treasure, but it doesn't belong to anyone IN the world.
