So just like DigitalOcean then. It's the first ASN I block when setting up a new website or server.

The download button doesn't even work properly.

Clicking download in the top right gives me a .dmg, the other download button in the hero gives me the .exe, the one in the footer gives me a .dmg

Docs give me a 404, blog is empty

I mean, it works for me?

The site is clearly not ready and maybe they didn't expect people to find it, but that doesn't mean the site is bad.

It is just a work in progress.

I'm not even interested in the site anyway the software and the source interests me more.

Doesn't invalidate my experience.

What do you mean? It's linked on the Github repo.

> but that doesn't mean the site is bad.

I think a site that doesn't work properly is a bad one. That's just my opinion.

I mean isn't this the point of open source?

You can fork the repo and fix the problem instead of complaining?

You can still give constructive criticism of an open source project though, right?

Never said you can't.

You can fix it though or open an issue.

So, volunteer time for free for someone else?

>I mean isn't this the point of open source?

Only if you just found what open source is.

In actuality, successful open source projects recruit developers by providing value to them. If there's a failure before you even install the product, there's 0 reason for someone to start contributing right away, why not start their own project at that point? Contributing 1 to something that has 0 value is a donation in exchange for nothing, not how Open Source usually works.

> So, volunteer time for free for someone else?

Yes.

You know the project is OSS, you found the problem, you can fix it or open and issue instead of complaining to me about it.

Problem solved.

That benefits everyone rather than forking a project and starting all over again and wasting effort.

I cannot reproduce the problem, so I can't fix it.

But since you're complaining about it and you have the right skills, you can!

Yeah, looks totally broken on my machine too.

You don't need to spend anywhere near $40k a year to get that info... You don't even need to spend $1

What's your strategy?

It's still not really anything special. Thousands isn't even large scale.

Any random bozo can trigger that.

This is a random sample of completely unrelated websites, which indicates that the total scale is much larger. This is not saying that it is difficult to make thousands of requests.

Is this your company? If it is, your cheerleading makes you very hard to trust. If it’s not, I’m sure that everyone gets the point - you adore everything about this research and can’t see any possible problems.

You forgot the "Yes, that's my company" part in your reply (https://ghking.co)

That doesn't change the data/math brother

It's still good etiquette to disclose affiliation in online discussions.

Fair enough

It changes our evaluation of the likely reasons that you are ignoring the reasons that you are wrong.

That's just the super high US salaries. Hire from elsewhere in the world, and you'll spend significantly less.

Designshippers' team is Kazakh, Pakistani, and Dutch. You won't be paying anywhere close to even 18k/mo in those countries.

Just Dutch

Right. Previously That’s the team of designers from 5y ago in a different business (no engineering)

Because everyone lives in only those two cities/tz?

No but 95% of whom we work with is.

(which is their service, and most of their comments are just promotion for their services)

Hi, you're right. I've been self-promoting on HN too much without any other contributions, which isn't right.

I'm going to spend more time contributing without so much self-promotion.

Thanks for the feedback.

It's not a government app, and you don't need it.

BankID (which is the one I assume he's talking about, and not Freja eID) is owned by several banks, but you aren't forced to use it. You can use a "bankdosa" (a separate physical device for auth)

That's just their fault at that point, in my opinion.

Technically yes, but it seems like people's intuition for safe behaviour is worse across the board with modern technology, than it is with old technology.

Maybe it will improve by itself over time, but maybe not? There are a lot of things that humans generally suck at, and successful, human-friendly design must take that into account and work around it systematically.

Maybe phones/it/banking/payments/identity/authorization needs to be radically changed, in order to serve society well.

Giving away your phone would be one thing, but they also force you to give away your passwords and unlock at gunpoint.
