Ask HN: Why is Disney+ UX so bad?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32837397A few weeks ago I bought a one month Disney+ subscription to check it out. I have all kinds of problems when using their web player compared to Netflix and YouTube:- subtitle settings get reset every time I close the website.- the button for changing subtitles is in the upper right corner. Once you open the menu the button for closing it appears in the upper left corner. You can't close the menu by clicking outside of it, despite the fact that you can still see the blurred video in the background.- pressing space doesn't pause the video, but repeats the last action you did. If you closed the subtitle menu by pressing esc, pressing space will open it again. If you entered the full screen mode, pressing space will close it.- there is no way (afaik) to open a list of all episodes from within the player. You have to go back to the show's main page, choose the season (because it always defaults to season 1) and scroll a horizontal list (which always defaults to the first episode) using a buSep 14, 2022 2:07 PM

Launch HN: Pana (YC S22) – Social Trust Banking with a US Latino Focushttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32437234Hey HN! We are Piero and Luis, co-founders at Pana (https://joinpana.com), a banking app that uses social trust to help people save money and access healthier and better financial products. We’re open to everyone, but are focusing on the 62M Latinos in the USA, a particularly under-served market that we know a lot about.US Hispanics have largely been ignored by traditional banks [1], resulting in 5% of this population being unbanked and an additional 13% underbanked. This is mainly due to cultural differences and lack of trust, as well as in-person and Social Security Number requirements that exclude a significant number of people.Why is this market under-served? In Latino communities, a lot of transactions take place within family and personal networks based on trust. But this trust network isn't connected to the standard banking system, and therefore they don't get access to the financial products they should, if their creditworthiness were evaluated properly.In addition to remittancAug 12, 2022 12:07 PM

Ask HN: How do you localize your prices?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32136715We recently released an online course. [1] It's $29, but we've had users saying, "I'm in ${country poorer than USA}, and I can't afford the $29. Do you offer regional pricing?"I would like to support this. The dollar-value to a customer in India is probably lower than in the USA.Most big platforms (Udemy, App Store, Play Store) seem to solve this with a price tier matrix. They maintain a big table of prices per (tier, currency). The tier comes from the product, and the currency comes from ... the user's IP address? (See example matrix [2])To build this from scratch, I would have to:* Define a list of tiers, each with a hard-coded USD price.* Maintain a list of Purchasing Power Parity multipliers for each currency. For example, regularly scrape OECD data.* To get a tier's price in currency X, multiply by the current PPP.* Somehow clamp the prices to "appealing" values, so we get e.g. £25 instead of £24.19.* Ensure we never make a loss after subtracting Stripe fees!* Detect a user's locaJul 18, 2022 10:55 AM

Ask HN: How can we improve diagnosis and treatment of chronic health conditions?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31101899I'm in my late 30s, and over the last 10+ years I've grown increasingly pessimistic about the quality of care for chronic and degenerative conditions in the U.S. I'm reasonably well now, but I've had a number of issues I've had trouble shaking over the years. Things that are pretty common among my peers and others I talk to, like sleep issues, anxiety, depression, fatigue, digestive issues, autoimmune conditions, etc. Low grade stuff you can live with, but that bugs you for years while reducing quality of life. Doctors like to give vague sounding terms to these kind of things so they can convince the patient they know what the hell they're doing, like IBS and major depressive disorder.But from what I've seen via personal experience, hearing from friends and family, and from reading countless reports online, doctors don't have a good handle on treating these chronic conditions. In fact, I'd say our treatment of chronic and degenerative disease is downright barbaric. And it doesn't matteApr 20, 2022 7:41 PM

How Do I get my Co-Founder to Leave?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31061164Hi there,I developed my business myself & spent ~$3k of my own funds. When my website was 95% complete, I got one of my friends, Zake* to create my logos about a month before we went live. We agreed that I’d pay Zake $300 for the logos. Zake changed their mind & said I should rather give them 5% of my business, co-founder title & a “seat at the table”. This was 1.5 years ago & it was their initial offer, I didn’t negotiate with them.We didn’t sign any type of contract at all (bad idea, I know). We verbally agreed that Zake would a) post on social media 5 days a week b) do our SEO c) update the website images once a month, minor things like changing the website banner d) make any misc documents look good (no content just aesthetics) ie our pitch deck e) attend our weekly team meetings. I pay for everything, which I think is fair.On our website Zake is listed as a co-founder, but we have no signed contract/ paperwork whatsoever, their shares are sweat shares & they haven’t invested any mApr 17, 2022 2:41 PM

Launch HN: Hyperbeam API (YC W22) – Multiplayer embeds of any websitehttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30433104Hi HN, we’re Philip, Amby, and Declan from Hyperbeam (https://www.hyperbeam.dev). Hyperbeam is an API that makes it easy for developers to embed real-time multiplayer capabilities into their web apps—including any other web app that you want to provide multiplayer access to.Building software to connect people in real time is hard. We experienced this in college when we built a “watch party” site for people to watch movies together (https://hyperbeam.com). Other watch party solutions were unreliable, so we spent two years building tech to allow friends to watch stuff together with ease.The key piece was a “multiplayer web browser”. By that we mean a Chromium instance that you embed inside your own web app (i.e. web browser inception) which is actually hosted on a server and streamed via WebRTC, and so can be shared and controlled by multiple people at the same time.For example, say you have an online tutoring platform. An instructor can open any application in the embedded web browser aFeb 22, 2022 8:16 PM

Ask HN: Stuck as a CS Major. Is there a way out?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30359627Long story short, I'm a junior taking CS, I hate it (sorry to everyone who loves it. Also, to clarify, my university isn't very theoretical in its approach), and because of my circumstances it's too late for me to switch majors.I originally wanted to be a physicist, but I switched midway into my first year because CS has got more financial security, physics isn't as glamorous as pop science would have you believe, academia might be a bad fit, etc etc, and I thought I'd like it. Hell, everyone thought I was in love with CS until I started complaining their ears off, because I SEEM like I'd like it. It's to the point that it affects my work. I do submit my work on time unless life gets in the way, and I do pretty decently actually, but getting through the thick wall of "fuck fuck fuck i signed up for this" and boredom takes a lot of effort — more than I thought, and I don't have any side projects because I'm not interested in anything.
