With game dev, especially live ones with an active player base you do _not_ want to break things if you're a small studio.

But moving fast and shipping features quickly is a killer trait those small teams can use to be better than the big studios. (who ironically seem to ship slow and still break things)

Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, or celebrities, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon. If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably off-topic.

Really difficult puzzle books that will only be available in dead tree format. Extreme killer sudoku, very hard wordsearches etc.

Was hoping to have these ready for Christmas season, but life as always gets in the way!

Magic links are so useful in specific circumstances. We have a client with hundreds of users that infrequently need access to a bespoke tool. Setting up and managing user accounts for them is out of the question, but a magic link letting them sign in using an email of their corporate domain solves the issue easily.

No this nitpicking is people wanting to know the specs of something they might buy. What most people on HN probably think of as e-paper is not the same as and LCD tech.

You forgot the /s right? Most of the world doesn't have that kind of connection.

Gdpr means data out of my control is someone else's liability. If they want to play fast and loose, that's their look out.

I know you're /s but it's not even about privacy, it's the cost of mitigation after $cloud_service_x has a data breach and we then have to assign resources to account for _our_ clients data etc.

I can assure you 99% of my data/files never see the cloud other than as encrypted containers for backup. That's good practice for most business is it not?

Looks very nice - I see there is the ability to edit metadata, but I often have a need to strip/delete _all_ meta data from a document. Having that as a single option would be very useful...

The author, Paul Joseph Watson, is not the most honest reporter/personality out there and usually has a pretty obvious bias.

Without additional, reliable, sources I'll keep this in my skeptical folder.

That sill is Google's fault as far as I'm concerned as an end user.
