Yeah, that's what HIBP does. See here: https://www.troyhunt.com/ive-just-launched-pwned-passwords-v... I really feel Troy has handled HIBP very, very carefully, honestly, and with …

Two potential causes: 1. Location matching - both your apps detected you in the same place for an extended period of time. Maybe you guys had mutual friends in the music community?…

The page on Tax Reform[0] seems... interesting. Here's the first paragraph: > Anyone who fills out a tax form knows how harmful the U.S. tax code is today – punishing hard work, sa…

Well, I have been trying a hobby-dev project that is kinda along these lines but I am almost on the verge of giving up. The problem is, the feed/stream API endpoints for most of th…

Can we call this the R-Diddly law, please?

I think Ingress is a close match to your description. Also, Lyft and other ride-sharing apps work along the same principles, I think. Similar techniques are also being used for the…

I am terribly sorry but I didn't know where else to talk about this. I simply want to vent, if only to maintain my sanity. Apologies if I am disrupting your flow of reading HN. Tha…

Actually, Sublime Text 3 [0] (although in Beta) is quite stable and already has massive support within the community. I was lucky enough to get started with ST in my early days (no…
