Hi HN, founder here! MakePlans is a SaaS for online scheduling. After 15 years of having an API we now also added an MCP server. So you can add it to your favourite AI assistant and ask things like "Book Anna in for a massage on Friday

I flew 747 last month with Lufthansa and asked one of the crew how long they will keep it in operation. «I retire in two years so I don’t care» a very German response but at least they hadn’t made any announcement that he seem to be aware o

Claiming DHH is a fascist is such a dumb take. The article is vile; claiming DHH died. "'DHH has brain worms' is a fact and valid" - grow up.

No it's not. Actively managed funds will in most cases not beat an index fund. Investorers have learned this and has chosen passive funds. This together with more people investing in funds has increased the size of passive ETFs in the

Their EU region was down for 8 hours last November and it took 2 hours before they were aware of it so submitting a ticket is definitively worth while. I'm suspecting their monitoring is not good enough.

Sure, but if the server is returning 418 by an error it is likely that it would return some other 4xx error instead of 5xx. 418 is irrelevant here, the server is rogue.

I don't get it. If the system is so broken it is returning some random http code then I don't see how returning some other random http code is better?

Most data formats used in high performant scenarios, for example in finance, are very basic for a reason. You also get the benefit of being able to start processing the file immediately line by line, instead of having to read and parse the

Showing duration is helpful but so is the exact end time. Visually as a user I would like to see the exact time when the appointment ends instead of calculating it in my head. While it is not that hard to process when an appointment with a

That would be problematic for database performance. You would have to calculate the duration on demand when querying.

It’s for the booking site so most visitors come to make a booking thus conversion rate would be high generally. We never had passwords there so can’t compare conversion rates. For signups to our app (to get an account with a booking site) w

It's not really 2FA even. More like a magic link (which is what we use for verification via email). The customer has no password, just verifies using a code via sms/email.

It is not but CCC is indicating that this provider was only used for 2FA. Sorry I was getting a bit ahead of myself here, this was earlier exposed as a breach of Twilio's vendor (IdentifyMobile). In the case of Twilio they offer an API

We at MakePlans were affected by this breach as we use Twilio. We are not using Twilio Verify (their 2FA api) but rather handle 2FA SMS ourselves in our app using Twilio as one of our providers. So the CCC definition of this being only 2FA-

Yes I received more info as well. Apparently they think that GDPR does not apply to them in this case. Good luck with that. "To answer your questions: 1. Only France, Italy, Burkina Faso, Ivory Coast, and Gambia were impacted by this i

I will also ask their support: 1) Which countries it applies to. 2) What is their current and past policy for carriers storing message data.

by sleepyhead 2y ago
The email is unfortunately lacking in some details. Does this include all messages sent through Twilio or just in the country of this provider? And why is this carrier storing messages on an S3 bucket? I don't see why they should store

Your expectations might have changed. Most users are quite happy with core chatting features. And in the case of Slack those features have become a bit too intrusive and disorganised, so that is one of the selling points of Campfire.
