bibinou··on Ask HN: My GitHub account got suspended without any notice
Hi Yogi, I'm guessing your Github account has been hijacked.

Support won't respond to your emails because it could be the attacker impersonating you, or he could still have access to your email and get info that way.

This is Standard Operating Procedure I've seen applied on stolen accounts in MMO videogames involving stolen credit cards and organized crime. Sometimes wait time was 6 months with no contact, because they needed to keep the evidence under seal for the police investigation and avoid tipping off the attackers.

Your 2-letter nickname and access to important projects makes your account a high-value target.

Did you have 2FA enabled?

edit: usually the email account got hijacked first, defeating the 2FA/1-time token. SMS is also easily hackable.

bibinou··on Marc Andreessen interview
Either they include commute in the calendar* or they don't commute at all. Not sure a VC needs to come to people, just make people come to you and deal with the East Coast via video.

* job of a very good assistant: know and estimate commute time to anywhere in the world and reschedule better than any staffing startup AI.

bibinou··on Uber cuts 3000 more jobs, closes 45 offices
> Scooters

They just sold Jump, while investing in Lime. I think scooters could still be used as a "last-mile" strategy for Ride Share, and maybe acquire teen mindshare and a sort of platform play. But it's a spinoff with a long leash.

The difference is that Gmail was way better than its competitors at the time. The spam filter alone was a huge sell.
