I imagine a game like this:

Everyone who thinks the search results for a certain query are crap posts the query here and the first two results in alphabetical order.

Then everybody comments, which result should be #1 and which should be #2. Before looking at the actual results.

What does everyone think about this idea?

I love listening to podcasts. And would probably also love to listen to books. But where to buy those? Somehow I have the feeling that the user experience will be dismal and I will get problem ridden DRM monstrosities when I just sign up for the next onlineshop and buy a book.

Any recommendations where I can simply by books as MP3s and not be plagued with anything else?

What I mean is:

When will stores be open again, when will we do meetups again, when will we be able to travel again?

From another HN thread:

RFC 5321 states: The local-part of a mailbox MUST BE treated as case sensitive

Which is absolutely impossible to follow in the real world. An onlineshop that treats Henry@gmail.com as a new customer because it is different from henry@gmail.com will have a ton of problems.

What are similar, maybe even harder to follow standards?

I would like to measure my heart rate and download the data to my laptop so I can do my own statistics on it.

I don't want something that pairs with my phone, needs me to install software or to become member of some cloud service.

Is there something like that?
