Re:RSS Is Better Than Twitter on Sunday March 31, 2019 @04:10AM (#19534457)
For once, I thought this was something related to the political scene in India. Now that it's election season and the right-wing (BJP/RSS) actually protested against Twitter on roads alleging them to be left aligned or supporting the opposition.

"We will send you an Amazon gift card to soothe things a bit." Now that goes to show how serious you're in solving this saga. This is comedy gold according to my dictionary.
Got this reply from Google when asked over chat "Yes, you wouldn't see any ads that come with the video if you're subscribed to YouTube Red and watching it on a Apple TV."

Re:Show HN: Turn a Google Spreadsheet into an API on Monday September 21, 2015 @09:20AM (#10252018)
Neat. Instantly converted my BTC price tracking spreadsheet [1] into an API [2]

This is actually a good reason to use the native iOS push notification, instead of such thin content to grab eyeballs. The former is well targeted and less spammy IMO.

Pushbullet Channel Has Been Compromised

Trolls are editing Wikipedia pages to push random crap [1] to the 'Google Acquisitions' Pushbullet channel. Pushbullet, FYI, crawls content from various sources [2] for their automated channel push notifications.[1] https://twitter.com/binoyxj/status/632451202618228736 [2] https://twitter.com/binoyxj/status/632453672421584896

I've a problem with this ad-ridden source, for such a significant news. Can someone change it?
The Kickstarter bubble is finally starting to burst, for better or worse. That’s a bit troubling for the creative and tech community. Bad press due to these failures/ scams is a scary thing. I had personally written to KS about another scam that unfolded right in front of eyes, but they didn't respond. I even pinged the founders on Twitter but they didn't care a bit. So much for trusting this system.
