    Presumably, it is more appealing to Binance to kill their largest competitor than it is to realize a return on a minority investment.

    Good, recent podcast with the founder: https://www.joincolossus.com/episodes/20135760/kokonas-know-... . I learned a lot about restaurants from listening to this. (The link has a t…

    It looks that way to me too. I converted the conversion rates from unique-trial-paid for each scenario. It looks like 0.846% for credit card required upfront and 0.264% for no cred…

    Some assumptions to analyze this switch: - Dropbox saves $50M/year in AWS costs - Dropbox spends $200K/year (salary, benefits, equipment, SaaS, etc.) for their average infrastructu…

    In addition to (or instead of) a 20% discount, a referral system might be interesting to you. 'Refer a friend and you each get one month free', or something to that effect. Paid ad…

    You could randomly select one company to feature from a list of N upcoming IPOs. E.g. `${sampleCo} begins trading this week, along with N-1 others...` You could leave the N-1 other…

    Correct. Perhaps I'm being pedantic but my past experience has been to log in via 2FA, update settings to disable 2FA, then authenticate via 2FA one final time before it is finally…

    Edit: This is shockingly the case with Google as well. Every other major service provider seems to require re-authentication prior to disabling 2FA.

    Tell HN: Twitter does not require 2FA to disable 2FA

    Basically what the title says. Navigate to account/settings/security/2FA. You can disable 2FA without needing to authenticate (via 2FA) first. I've never experienced this with any …

    I struggle to understand how this benefits applicants. So long as SAT/ACT is accepted at all, students should (and, mostly likely, will) continue to take them. This is a very obvio…
