Ask HN: How did a kid use my email to buy free Amazon apps?
Over the last 2 weeks. I've received about 5 emails. All of the emails confirmed purchases of $0.00 Amazon apps. I haven't downloaded any Amazon apps in many years. Usually, happens on the weekends. The weird thing is, the emails are sent to an email that is unconnected to my active Amazon account.I'm pretty sure these were bought for a Kindle device. I haven't used a Kindle in many years. I...

Maybe journalists are acting in their own interests. Trump appears to be very hostile to journalists who are critical of him. Freedom of the press is their livelihood.

It's crazy that I have to worry about being sued for pointing out a mistake.

Re:Ask HN: Why does my laptop audio turn on when I log into Facebook?

Signed into FB from Chrome (version 47) from my MacBook (Mavericks).
It was 6am and I had my earbuds in and I could tell they turned on. They didn't turn off until a few minutes after I logged off.
I went to YouTube just to check. A few minutes after I closed my YouTube tab, I could hear the audio disengage.
I'm wondering if it's connected to FB autoplay videos, but those have no sound.

There are lots of other sources for this type of information. Ta-Nehisi Coates has a comprehensive explanation in his Atlantic article "The Case for Reparations." Inflammatory title (also long), but well researched.

They have links to real studies at the bottom. It's not marketing, they're just trying to makes studies seem more interesting.

I laughed earlier, but I wasn't trying to be a jerk. I just thought it was cool that you were going to go forward with it.

I want to make sure I'm solving the problem before I decide how to make money.
It's useful to several different groups: business teams, coaches, people in the employment space and normal people. I only need to cover rent and other expenses.
There are a few options (in-app purchases, ads, pro account for business teams).

Buffer (bufferapp.com) sends your tweets on a schedule so that you don't have to manually tweet them.
They also suggest tweets for you when your queue runs empty.

Thanks for raining on my parade. jk
I know conversions are only a small percentage. Some people are excited and I still receive emails from people. Eyeballs first, conversions second right? My page visits have been growing, and Twitter is a percentage of it.
It's something to build on. My honest take is that people are interested in the idea, but I need to continue working on the product. Execution is important.

People are sharing it independently. I haven't added my url to any of my own tweets.
I'm pretty sure Buffer suggested stories and LinkedIn Pulse have been a some part in the growth. It's largely being shared within a niche on Twitter. It's a very simple app at moment. I don't have much for in-app analytics.

I created an app last year that gained some popularity on Hacker News thankfully. I'm in a transition phase. I work full-time and I have a side job I'm finishing up for a client. Soon I can concentrate on building my next version.My problem is it's shared on Twitter, but it has bugs and it's not good enough to begin marketing yet. I'm learning Swift to build the 2nd version, but I'm not an iOS...

You can do that. It is in the settings.
It doesn't quite auto-load though.
