  • Ask HN: Is clearing browser data (cookies, cache, history) enough?
    by givemeethekeys on 19 July 2025 at 4:17 AM

    I’d like to stop having to accept / reject every privacy pop up that shows up.I have an idea:1) Find (or build) a browser plugin that auto-accepts all GDPR and tracking pop-ups.2) Set my browser to clear all data when I close the browser.3) Always browse in Incognito mode.I’m thinking of following the above steps instead of spending the time to Reject All tracking on each website I encounter.I was wondering if you think my idea is dumb, incomplete, or something else.Thank you!

  • Cold outreach doesn’t fail because of bad copy
    by lindseypham on 19 July 2025 at 3:33 AM

    After 3 emails and 2 replies, most people call it a failed experiment. But cold outreach (email, LinkedIn, even DMs) is a volume and refinement game.It’s about psychology. Good outreach is not just tweaking words — it’s understanding what state your audience is in and how your message lands at that moment. The real insight often comes around round 5, not round 2. Most people stop before anything interesting happens. Round 1: you’re guessing. Round 3: you’re adjusting. Round 5+: you’re learning how people actually think.

  • Show HN: Medici, a minimal, open-source, dead-simple Splitwise alternative
    by mrkaye97 on 19 July 2025 at 3:22 AM

    Hey everyone!I’ve been a Splitwise user for a long time (sometimes paying, sometimes not), and have been rather frustrated at their new-ish policy of only allowing N (small) expenses to be submitted per day. And I was curious to write some Rust and thought the expense simplification algorithm would be fun to implement, so I built this.Thought others might find it fun or useful! It’s dead simple to self host if you want to try it out 🙂 Comments URL: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44612306 Points: 2 # Comments: 0
