cocochanel··on Netflix stops charging customers who never watch
My expenses are 30% of my income and I use a credit card for everything. Bank automatic deduction at the end of the month. I have a ballpark expenses figure I pay monthly. If I don't see a >10% increase in spending, I don't bother to check each item.
cocochanel··on Netflix stops charging customers who never watch
Just a few weeks ago I realized I was paying for Xbox Live without having played it for 8 years. I didn't even remember the password.

I don't hear anything. I just "see" my thoughts.
cocochanel··on Show HN: I built a website to better compare USB-C hubs found on Amazon
Also, I was pleased to see Erlang :)
cocochanel··on Show HN: I built a community for women entrepreneurs and makers
From the site guidelines,

> Don’t mansplain, be respectful and remember to give the floor to women. That being said, all members are welcome to participate in all discussions... And keep in mind that the purpose of Women Make is to put women at the forefront.

Presumably the site is primarily for women, may I suggest perhaps a better choice of words? Although I find it unfortunate that we have to create a separate community based on gender, I hope you succeed in creating a positive community for women.

It can do both.

cocochanel··on Firefox browser will block the IAB's DigiTrust universal ID
Serious question: isn't that how SSL/TLS certificates work too, by chain of trust?

cocochanel··on Hacker Publishes 2TB of Data from Cayman National Bank
Stated in the readme file, "I was a girl raised by the internet."
cocochanel··on The case for banning ads in social media
I don't know why you're being downvoted for such a subjective comment. I also genuinely prefer the before images.
cocochanel··on Quiet.js – Transmit and receive data in the browser at 44.1kHz
Works!
cocochanel··on Electron 7.0
50.6MB for me on a 2018 MacBook Pro running macOS Mojave.
cocochanel··on Qt for Android better than ever before
No it's not.
cocochanel··on Facebook Dating
Yes. You casually introduce yourself, mention a thing or two in common (same groups for instance), and ask if they'd be interested in getting to know each other —assuming you have a solid FB profile and not something fake. Pretty much like you'd walk up to a person in a real life in a social setting and say Hi. Many of my friends met their girlfriends like that. If you don't get a reply then that's your answer, no hard feelings. If they're a friend of a friend, well, you just ask your friend for an introduction. I don't know how things are in the US, but it's not considered awkward at all in my country. I've had women approach me in this same way as well.
cocochanel··on Time anxiety: is it too late?
It takes a lifetime to master a craft. The earlier you start, the longer it takes.
cocochanel··on A new AMP update shows how it can infiltrate every corner of the internet

This is precisely why I use Firefox.
cocochanel··on Why are the username and password on two different pages?
Login pages nowadays are like a US airport.
cocochanel··on A general-purpose probabilistic programming system with programmable inference
The title is confusing. Can anyone please explain if this is Julia or a new programming language?
cocochanel··on Learning Chess at 40 (2016)
It's more akin to becoming a guitar virtuoso: deliberate practice. You working at FANG has nothing to do with it.
cocochanel··on Show HN: This page is a truly naked, brutalist HTML quine
Remove the _white-space: pre;_ from your style.
cocochanel··on Power Is Overrated
He did both. Married the richest woman in Switzerland and made love with the other women. Classic.
cocochanel··on HTTP headers for the responsible developer
Google.com gets a D+ on Mozilla Observatory.
cocochanel··on A request to drill for lithium near Death Valley
Agreed. Compare that to the following paragraph,

> A request to drill for lithium near Death Valley National Park has alarmed environmentalists, who say mining the metal is unacceptable, even if it is an essential ingredient in the production of zero-emission electric vehicles.

cocochanel··on Golden: Mapping human knowledge
The missing pages you speak of are mostly VC/company names, and you just gloss over useful knowledge as "others." As I look into DNA sequencing[0] for example, there is little information while the bulk of it seems to be about companies. Care to explain if this is the direction Golden is taking?

cocochanel··on Career advice I wish I’d been given when I was young
The "mindset" you're talking about is parent's second part of the sentence, "...and use those connections to land your first few jobs or investments."
