I wish phone numbers could work this way. When my personal data gets leaked or sold, just revoke access to that particular token.

Ah yes, because who doesn't want to return to the days of AOL's "channels". I think you're completely right, btw. After AOL, it only took a few years for websites to become rapidly…

Their nonprofit accounts are designed for "nonacademic" orgs. If there's an account type that's applicable to university research (not just students) then I'd be thrilled.

> At Bay Area prices isn't that about 5 minutes of developer pay per month? I work for an academic nonprofit. Asking to spend any money is like pulling teeth, and any purchase I ma…

My understanding is that transportation is actually a small factor in total food emissions. It seems that promoting "local food" without paying attention to whether that food can b…

Denver has so many wonderful things, but this undercurrent of "I hate all the new people" is so gross. I've encountered it in situations where I'm literally handing money over to s…

This brouhaha about gender identity requires some 'fixed points' about gender that I thought we progressives had all already agreed were nonexistent! But I don't think the point ab…

Full disclosure: I'm a working female software developer, blah blah blah... > I want to be that girl who no one thought she could, who had all the odds against her, that everyone t…

Has YC ever considered having a control group by randomly pre-accepting certain applicants into the program automatically? I'd be curious to see the stats on how successful that gr…

Mint is logging in on your behalf, unless you have a different service than I do.

I've been dreaming of a standardized banking API for as long as I've been using online banking. It crushes my soul every time Mint makes me send them my actual log in credentials j…

As I've entered the more intermediate stage as a Rails developer, I've noticed that the "magicalness" that allowed me to do so much so quickly as a beginner, is often actually gett…

I'm particularly sad about the evolution of the word "troll" to mean "anything someone else doesn't like". The idea of "flamebait" has also completely disappeared, and we've lost t…

The "Most Recent" sort is not at all obvious, at least on my Facebook, and it also quietly turns itself off. It's quite user-hostile.

Agreed. Facebook's great sin isn't that they have an algorithm to serve the content they believe is the best, it's that they don't respect my decision to turn that off .

His experience might be a lot different from mine, but I've found TDD enormously helpful when tackling legacy systems. Maybe that's not "test-driven development" and more like "tes…

> They're basically arguing that you're better off going to a school in the middle of nowhere because "hey, for being in such a crappy location, you did pretty well!". Well, no, no…

Adding sugar reduces the water activity, which inhibits microbial growth.

PewDiePie - just one Youtube channel - has almost 40 million subscribers . Even if a very small percentage pays the $10/mo subscription fee, the numbers here are still huge.

> And as for "exclusive YouTube content" it makes zero sense to have the same monthly fee as Netflix and somehow think that PewDiePie is going to compete with Orange is the New Bla…
