I'm a note-taking power nerd who has used all the buzzy apps on Macs. Obsidian is by far the best — it's become my personal journal, my knowledge base, a quick and dirty blog, a place to keep loose notes. The development velocity

Thanks for sharing. Cathy O'Neil is one of the most credible voices in the room when it comes to understanding the unintended consequences of applied big data algorithms. The original post is sensationalistic and massively overstates

The USDS is working on vets.gov, not 18F. Apparently this effort involves taking hundreds of microsites that all look and behave differently and combining them into one unified effort. It's not surprising that this would take a long ti

Hi! Just curious, why did you stop running the code? Seems like a useful thing.

Presumably this was a design choice: "Ixoth" doesn't really sound like anything else, which means Siri is unlikely to confuse it with another name or command.

Startup School in 2010 was the reason I quit my job and went straight to Airbnb without taking a single day off in between. This event is a life-changer.

Hey, thanks for your feedback! We're continually working to improve the core experience on Airbnb, and we'll be fleshing out some updates to the calendaring system in the near future to address problems like this. (I'm a backend engineer at

Yeah, thanks to YC for organizing it and to the speakers for volunteering their time. I have almost never learned so much in one day for free. You guys have really made me think about what I want to do with my life.

I felt this way before taking my current job, but I took it anyway. It turns out that you can learn way more way faster when you're working in a team on a real project. There's _a lot_ of stuff that your teammates can teach you in five min

I'm frankly surprised that 29% of tweets DO produce replies or retweets. This really changes my perception of how the average user uses Twitter - people are interacting with each other a lot more frequently than I thought. I guess this mig

New Twitter feels like Old Twitter, except it's faster and puts more of the stuff I want to see in front of me. Facebook has many, many more features than Twitter does, and the features it has are not as easy for users to understand or use.
