What are people's thoughts on not deleting FB to better secure your personal identity. In the context of leaving google's services, I see people say that they sit on their email so no one else can take it, but I never see that sentiment about deleting fb.

Is it just that the bar to successfully impersonate someone via fb is higher and email is lot easier to manipulate?

I am particularly interested because I am planning on deleting my personal fb soon.

repl.it was one of the first platforms I used as I began my journey into the tech world. I very much appreciate the hard work and hours Amjad, Haya, and the rest of the team have put into their product.

With that in mind, I take a little issue with a YC partner saying the repl.it is a "YC Story." On the contrary, I think YC is a part of the "repl.it" story, and they were mistaken to take so long to see the value in the company.

“The success of Technology of Orgasm serves as a cautionary tale for how easily falsehoods can become embedded in the humanities”

I only skimmed around so am perhaps misinterpreting their tone, but the authors seem to emphasize the vulnerabilities of empirical research in the humanities specifically, but I’m wondering if any field of research is not vulnerable to widely propagated falsehoods, or at the very least, poorly verified findings.

I wouldn't necessarily call this article "bs", but at the same time, I don't see how people working for their family is really HN-newsworthy...But perhaps people in the software industry need reminding of this?
