God you're miserable. Damned if you do [engage with the community directly], damned if you don't.

Thanks for sharing.

Brilliant idea honestly.

If someone wanted to use this for "opposition research" purposes, they could run this against any "up and coming" public figures...

* Regional politicians

* TV show contestants

* High school / college athletes

* White collar workers receiving major promotions

* etc.

Take screenshots / records of the tweet, then figure out what to do next. Could range from storing for a rainy day or building a SaaS that reaches out to those folks and helps them find/delete the old content.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

A great reminder that showing a bit of gratitude goes a long way, especially to the the oftentimes-thankless builders and maintainers of the OSS we all rely on.

This. I just don't post here frequently or check HN. Rest assured I am a real person.

I have mentioned my Twitter in previous comments (https://twitter.com/peterkimfrank) and you'll see my submission history maps pretty well to my role at my company (https://dev.to/peter).

This was a weird comment thread to wake up to...

Bravo. In my view, this connection and upside was made appropriately-clear in the "Who are you and why did you build this?" section, and the context from the logo attached to the site.

Very clever marketing, good on you for managing this, and I hope you see a great return for your efforts.

Might be worth redirecting...

How is directly linking a .mp3 the best way to preview their technology? You'd think there would be a much more elegant solution to showcase Polly on their site.

Wow, I hadn't seen this before.

Here is "Automaton 2000" controlling 20 marines vs 40 banelings, without losing a single unit.

Pretty cool.

I love knocking out stupid things no one would ever need:

http://StanderOrSitter.com -- do you stand or sit when you wipe?

http://SwapAVote.com -- why vote when you can simply match with an opposing supporter?

Look forward to the next hackathon in NYC.

I had an identical experience and reaction:

Hi Kevin, we applied through the conventional application process for S2016 - would there be any merit to starting an "Apply HN" thread as a supplement and opportunity for public discussion?

It's the beginning of the end.

The pizza delivery messenger service is clever and hilarious.

We use Trello with a slack integration on certain boards.

This is really smart. I feel like it further establishes SeatGeek as the inarguably best destination to buy tickets: peer-to-peer at lowest fees in the industry, combined with the best prices on the web.

If you consider a marketplace to be (demand side) : (supply side), they already have a backstop in the supply side through price-comparison, and can now differentiate their service from other companies with a solid user-uploaded set of tickets.

I love this, simply genius. I think it'll make sense to focus on a few select tasks and scale those with great partners, instead of spreading too wide at first.

The pricing doesn't make all that much sense to me. Why not a simple per-request pricing model with a monthly minimum (after a # of free trials)? Or the ability to simply purchase larger blocks for discount pricing?

Really? You would voluntarily never use gMail, search, Maps, YouTube, Android, etc. ever again?

I know that someone would have to pay me a pretty insane amount to introduce that set of annoyances.

Reminds me of a 30 Rock bit where Jack is talking about Tracy's kooky investment:

(S03E15) "His video game made a fortune and he invested all of it in a company that dismantles bank signs. They're doing very well."

I see people zipping through NYC on these. Usually on dedicated running/biking paths (E River, West Side Highway), but occasionally on city streets and sidewalks, as well.

I'm always concerned I'll see them hit an unexpected pothole or raised lip at speed and absolutely bite it into traffic.

Another great initiative from YC, which I'm sure will yield incredible access to talented entrepreneurs. Surely there will be signal-to-noise issues, but if any group is equipped to sift through for (and help develop) talent, it's YC.

$12k is not a lot of money in the grand scheme, but it is a huge grant to many talented founders/teams who otherwise wouldn't be able to take this leap.

I think that that in addition to the price-setting / risk-spreading nature of the "monopoly," they're also trying to control new "experiences" as it relates to dating. OKCupid / Match offer a fundamentally different experience to Tinder or HowAboutWe.

IAC seems to be making a macro-bet: we don't know what online dating will look like in 5-10 years, but we want to control it.

Interestingly, they "incubated" Tinder via Hatch Labs (where I was an employee). Pretty impressive control of that vertical.

This is what many/most have overlooked. Victoria was the straw that broke the camel's back. Her firing was indicative of the lack of appreciation / recognition given to the moderator's, and was just another example of the disconnect and (perceived) exploitation of moderator time/effort without the proper support and tools.

I feel like this would make infinitely more sense to me if not for that singular "8" hiding close to the middle. Can anyone ELI5 what's going on here?

Honey (http://www.joinhoney.com/), the automatic coupon-finding extension does pretty well.

Our textbook price-comparison extension (http://www.OccupyTheBookstore.com) generated 5-figures during the January back-to-school rush.

Thanks for the suggestion, I'll check it out!

This was an unexpectedly fascinating read. This blew my mind:

> Rats are responsible for about half of all bird and reptile extinctions on islands, according to Gregg Howald of the group Island Conservation.

I live in the LES of NYC, and will routinely see 50+ rats in a 10 block span. They have massive burrows through a local park, with ample opportunity to live and breed, and a constant supply of trash and food (sometimes left "for the birds.")

One small benefit is that they prove a consistent supply of food for the local park's hawks, which can regularly be seen feasting on them.

Here's a cool video of hunting dogs attacking a rat burrow: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NxQksEF2uso
