why don't they just make the plane out of the status page?
Exactly, this would be a pretty reckless way to prove an exploit. You could just tell the potential buyer to create a new account and then tweet from that handle.
that's fine, then it's time to slap most of big tech with massive anti-trust cases

Re:Baremetrics for Buffer on Tuesday April 29, 2014 @04:33PM (#7669776)
You have to respect a company thats not afraid to open up their numbers like this. I love this trend of financial transparency for startups. Numbers are the clearest way for me to crystallize things as an entrepreneur.
I'm lucky that the launch of Gmail happened when it did. I was a sophomore in college when I launched my first startup and I was tempted to use my .edu (my primary address at the time) or the @yahoo.com I had set up years before for random stuff. The pain of switching isn't something I've had to deal with fortunately.

Great idea for a startup! I've struggled with this in the past.

Great stuff. I wish this was posted yesterday before I filled out mine.
Re:Introducing OneNote for Mac on Tuesday March 18, 2014 @07:12PM (#7425734)
Notational is so badass. I'm going to give OneNote a hard look when I have some time but I'm so used to Notational that I might just stick with it. I would like to see some additional formatting options in NV but the speed and UX are unbeatable.
Re:Introducing OneNote for Mac on Tuesday March 18, 2014 @07:11PM (#7425720)
Yep. OneNote might have been the single hardest app to give up when I made the switch to Mac back in '08.

So its basically a map of who's using Twitter, lol nice.
Re:It’s time to say goodbye on Friday October 25, 2013 @05:53PM (#6614907)
Thats an odd bit of news. I'm in the CRM market (http://www.radiumcrm.com) and as a competitor I always admired the product. It was a very clean UI, had some nice features and was a good complement to the behemoth that is Salesforce. I can't imagine why they would shut it down.

This is great, thanks for sharing
Re:Unsubscribe from all LinkedIn email in one click on Thursday October 17, 2013 @03:56PM (#6567726)
It says something that LinkedIn has come to this. I've fiddled with the email settings on almost 10 separate occasions. Those controls do pretty much nothing though, either accidentally or intentionally.
Re:f.lux has been updated to a new version on Wednesday October 16, 2013 @04:04PM (#6561822)
My eye fatigue was so bad a month I thought of changing professions. I wouldn't say f.lux has cured it completely but it has helped significantly.
Re:The Workman Keyboard Layout on Monday October 14, 2013 @06:55PM (#6550203)
Thats an interesting idea. I'm sure the QWERTY could be improved but it would be tough trying to switch back and forth until it was fully adopted.
Re:How not to validate email addresses on Monday October 14, 2013 @06:02PM (#6549920)
All the points you make are excellent. I've always leaned to the 'greedy' regex, but never thought to articulate exactly why. http://www.radiumcrm.com
Re:WTF is a Hackathon? on Wednesday October 09, 2013 @12:56PM (#6522384)
I get so sick of explaining 'its not that kind of hacking' that I just quit using the term to non-techies lol. http://www.radiumcrm.com
I'm glad you asked, I was thinking the same thing. Nice work though, you get a bookmark on my computer!

Thanks, my years of steady learning seems so lackluster now :P

Ask HN: What to do with ultra tight API terms?

I'm thinking about mashing up (old term I know) two services but I ran into a roadblock when I came across Yelp's ToS. The lawyers drew this thing up so tight I can't figure out any legitimate use of their API and have come across seemingly conflicting clauses. Take a look, its good for a laugh http://www.yelp.com/developers/getting_started/api_terms.My question is, what have your experiences...

Re:My Style: Custom CSS for unappealing sites you visit on Sunday March 24, 2013 @01:16AM (#5431220)
Great for practical jokes and April Fools Day tricks I might add.
I asked this question on SO the other day, perhaps someone here knows a solution ...

For the past few years I've been using Google Reader to archive my Twitter and Facebook history for various reasons. Obviously yesterday's news really threw a wrench in everything.

My problem ...

I need a way to export every 'article' from 3 subscriptions I have (not just the subscription URL) and import those into a good RSS reader (open to suggestions). Anyone have any advice?

Feedly looks cool and all, but how do I add a feed? I spent 2 minutes and still can't figure it out.
Re:Write Better with Draft on Tuesday March 12, 2013 @02:32PM (#5363907)
Simple, do something like jsfiddle. Let me play around with it, then if I want to save the doc I'll register.
