In short, we collect configuration data from APIs of cloud providers and 40+ SaaS tools. Main reason is, even properly knowing what you have in all those tools becomes bothersome quickly, we faced it hard with hyper-growth. We make it easy to collect this data, explore it various ways and create rules. Fully-managed.Main features I'd like to higlight are:* Run SQL: You can ask any question limited to your SQL writing creativity. You can query if a SaaS user exists in your IdP at all.* Free text search: Search UUIDs, names, telephone numbers. You won't believe what pops up.* Relations: We automatically map relations between resources, even differnet tools. So your domain in Cloudflare might be poiniting an EC2 Instance.* User discovery: Find Nov 8, 2022 5:44 PM

Ask HN: Is Microsoft trying to destroy Playstation? How is that good for gamers?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33517995Microsoft is buying up major game publishing studios.These studios were formerly developers of cross platform super successful game titles.Microsoft is killing the Playstation titles at these publishers.Is Microsoft aiming to destroy Playstation? Is yes, how is this good for gaming?Is the old hyper competitive, destroy the competition at any cost Microsoft back, in the form of Xbox?I thought we were being led to believe it was a new Microsoft, kinder, more platform agnostic.Why wouldn't Microsoft want to release all its games for Playstation, just a few months later, same way as it develops applications for Macos?What happens if Microsoft "wins", by using its money to own all the most popular game publishers - then there's only one gaming console left? How is that good for gamers? Where's the competition? Why would Microsoft bother releasing another Xbox console after that?Nov 8, 2022 11:12 AM

Show HN: Multilingual Salary Calculator for Germanyhttps://lohntastik.de/gns/gross-net-salary-calculatorMany people from a migrant background have difficulty understanding the German income tax system. Therefore, as a side project, I have created a multilingual gross-net-salary calculator for Germany. With this side project, my main goals are:1. to create an intuitive method for non-German speakers to easily understand how and what is deducted from their gross salary in Germany,2. to translate the calculator into Eastern and Central European languages (as they represent one of the largest groups of migrant workers in Germany) to make it easier for them to understand the German income tax system,3. make it mobile-friendly so that anyone with only a mobile phone can easily use it.I am currently working on translations into Russian and Farsi (based on the requests from several organisations who are working with refugees in Germany), with other languages to follow.The website is already available in the following languages: Arabic, English, German, Hungarian, Romanian, Ukrainian.What do you Nov 7, 2022 11:36 AM

Ask HN: Have you ever experienced eBay refusing to pay youhttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33471484I recently sold about $2500 worth of total sales on ebay. After they took their ~$500 fee they have now restricted my account and requested information to confirm my identity, address, and proof of owning the product. Fine, whatever, I send the the requested info (scanned my Drivers License, provided a bill with my name and address on it, and provided all receipts of the products). The items I was selling were the codes for in game items for Call of Duty Modern Warfare II. They have a promotion running where if you buy a meal they give a code for in game items. Since they are not available everywhere in the world I figured I would attempt to sell some and eBay was explicitly told what I was selling with them never saying that was any kind of issue. They are now telling me that unless I can provide an invoice they will not be unlocking my account and will be holding the $2000 that was supposed to be paid out and I will be out approximately $900 that I spent obtaining the codes.
