Exactly what the FAQ says:

Y Combinator owns and funds HN. The HN team is editorially independent.

HN gives three features to YC: job ads (see above) and startup launches get placed on the front page, and YC founder names are displayed to other YC alumni in orange.

> In the US, the latter is virtually nonexistent.

The state of Massachusetts has subsidized housing for the elderly. And they are closely monitored by social workers.

My uncle lives in one of these apartments, and whenever he goes out of town, he has to notify the social services office. Otherwise, they will open the apartment to see if everything is okay with him.

If he's gone for more than three months, he loses the right to use the apartment.

Edit: minor corrections.

Take a look at the page source. Unfortunately they stopped updating their Twitter (X) in 2013. https://hasthelargehadroncolliderdestroyedtheworldyet.com/

It's just for fun. You can't take this kind of website serious.

There is a website that I know since the 90's called The Death Clock (http://deathclock.com). It's pretty much the same website since then.

The problem here is give your actual personal data to people you don't know how they will use it. So don't.

Btw, I'll die in:

- The Death Clock: April 2051;

- Population.io: July 2059

¯\_(ツ)_/¯
