> You're expected to give two weeks' notice, but they can let you go without any notice.

Luckily, this is not the case where I live. Both sides have the same amount of notice

I am not sure whether TOTP can be used two times, but that longer validity aspect already lead to a vulnerability called "Microsoft MFA AuthQuake"

Thanks for this extensive response. I respect what you created there, my comment was not supposed to talk down your creation!

As I already said, they look great! Wish you all the best and lots of success, I mean it.

Edit: maybe add this explanation about what makes your product so special to your site. I mean this extensive explanation (or did I overlook it there?). I am not sure whether it is a good idea to refer to competing products though, this is a question for marketing persons.

Edit2: also, you are absolutely right, this is a show HN post. I should not have made that part of the comment. I apologise.

Those cards look great and I hope this will help some people to learn kanji.

However, I fail to see the USP in comparison with cards like, let’s say from white rabbit press [1]. Is there supposed to be any?

This comes of as simple advertisement.

I think there are noises specific to railways. And from what I believe this "MetaWindow" targets relevant frequencies. However, I am sure this also works for the frequencies generated by car traffic.

At least the linked youtube video in this comment [1] does not mention anything about frequencies.

EDIT: I was wrong about the video. There is _no mention_ about frequencies.

True for most, if not any, reputable email service provider besides Google, MS, and Co.

Don’t know what users here think about posting links to one’s own site, but I’ll risk it. I migrated from gmail to proton, and wrote down the steps and experience. [1]

Should be the same for tutanota or others, don’t know about migration script (easy switch) of others, though. For me it worked without any hiccups.

It is frightening, how little tenants are protected from being kicked out by the landlord in the US. Are there major differences between the states?

In contrast to that, I believe tenants are too well protected in Europe, or at least Germany, from sitting out in the cold. For example, if a tenant has not paid rent in months (and is not planning on doing so) it still is legally difficult to put them on the street. I think the term for that is squatter?! Friend of mine had damage on his property exceeding €10k until he could regain control over his apartment/flat.
