New Show Hacker News story: Show HN: RFC End Citizen Data Sales Act (California)

Show HN: RFC End Citizen Data Sales Act (California)

The sale of personal information by the government is something that has always really bothered me. This is a bill I drafted that would stop the DMV, voter registration, property tax records, and the post office from selling or publishing without explicit user consent. It would also require personal information to be accompanied with the provenance of that data. This way, a user can track down who or what is publishing their data and take action to end their relationship with that company. I would appreciate any feedback, because I am sure I am missing some second and third order effects that this would have.

Show HN: Sora, Personal Publishing Platform 10 by chrispuska | 3 comments on Hacker News. We wanted to create, to express ourselves without being judged either by strangers or some algorithm. We wanted our own space on the internet, where our photos and words would matter. So we started to build an app that can showcase our content, without having to pick a platform. You can use Sora to publish a few different content types. - Blog - Polaroid - Poster - Microblog You can either display them all on your Sora profile as a summary (like mine https://ift.tt/x8oP2en ), or put any of them forward for the world to see.

(feedback@sora.city, or link on website) --- Our stack today is Node, Typescript, NextJS, atomic CSS, with everything stored on Supabase.

Show HN: KrotoDC – gRPC in Kotlin with Dataclasses 2 by mscheong | 0 comments on Hacker News. - A protoc plugin data class generator that can be used as a substitute for existing Java protobuf classes that need to be constructed by a builder (which isn't very kotlin-ish). - generates coroutine service base and stubs that use the generated classes as request/response types, allowing you to completely avoid using Java classes. - Since it also generates converter extension functions between the generated types and Java types, you can still easily use protobuf-specific features such as serialization. - Additionally provides Kotlin-specific features (optional fields as nullable, oneof fields as sealed classes).
