why don't they just make the plane out of the status page?

latraveleron Hackers take over prominent Twitter accounts in simultaneous attack

Exactly, this would be a pretty reckless way to prove an exploit. You could just tell the potential buyer to create a new account and then tweet from that handle.

latraveleron Turkey determined to control social media platforms, Erdogan says

that's fine, then it's time to slap most of big tech with massive anti-trust cases

latraveleron Turkey determined to control social media platforms, Erdogan says

HN/Reddit ...

Good = Social media companies selectively controlling the platform they built

Bad = Telecom companies selectively controlling the platform they built

latraveleron Baremetrics for Buffer

You have to respect a company thats not afraid to open up their numbers like this. I love this trend of financial transparency for startups. Numbers are the clearest way for me to crystallize things as an entrepreneur.

latraveleron How Gmail happened: The inside story on its launch, ten years later

I'm lucky that the launch of Gmail happened when it did. I was a sophomore in college when I launched my first startup and I was tempted to use my .edu (my primary address at the time) or the @yahoo.com I had set up years before for random stuff. The pain of switching isn't something I've had to deal with fortunately.

latraveleron Automate your Ad Analytics Spreadsheets

Great idea for a startup! I've struggled with this in the past.

latraveleron Radial NCAA Bracket in D3.js

Great stuff. I wish this was posted yesterday before I filled out mine.

latraveleron Introducing OneNote for Mac

Notational is so badass. I'm going to give OneNote a hard look when I have some time but I'm so used to Notational that I might just stick with it. I would like to see some additional formatting options in NV but the speed and UX are unbeatable.

latraveleron Introducing OneNote for Mac

Yep. OneNote might have been the single hardest app to give up when I made the switch to Mac back in '08.

latraveleron Show HN: See where in the world the F-bomb is being dropped

So its basically a map of who's using Twitter, lol nice.

latraveleron It’s time to say goodbye

Thats an odd bit of news. I'm in the CRM market (http://www.radiumcrm.com) and as a competitor I always admired the product. It was a very clean UI, had some nice features and was a good complement to the behemoth that is Salesforce. I can't imagine why they would shut it down.

This is great, thanks for sharing

latraveleron Unsubscribe from all LinkedIn email in one click

It says something that LinkedIn has come to this. I've fiddled with the email settings on almost 10 separate occasions. Those controls do pretty much nothing though, either accidentally or intentionally.

latraveleron f.lux has been updated to a new version

My eye fatigue was so bad a month I thought of changing professions. I wouldn't say f.lux has cured it completely but it has helped significantly.

latraveleron The Workman Keyboard Layout

Thats an interesting idea. I'm sure the QWERTY could be improved but it would be tough trying to switch back and forth until it was fully adopted.

latraveleron How not to validate email addresses

All the points you make are excellent. I've always leaned to the 'greedy' regex, but never thought to articulate exactly why. http://www.radiumcrm.com

latraveleron WTF is a Hackathon?

I get so sick of explaining 'its not that kind of hacking' that I just quit using the term to non-techies lol. http://www.radiumcrm.com

Great for practical jokes and April Fools Day tricks I might add.

latraveleron Show HN: Forked and updated the Chrome RSS subscription extension Google removed

I asked this question on SO the other day, perhaps someone here knows a solution ...

For the past few years I've been using Google Reader to archive my Twitter and Facebook history for various reasons. Obviously yesterday's news really threw a wrench in everything.

My problem ...

I need a way to export every 'article' from 3 subscriptions I have (not just the subscription URL) and import those into a good RSS reader (open to suggestions). Anyone have any advice?

Feedly looks cool and all, but how do I add a feed? I spent 2 minutes and still can't figure it out.

latraveleron Write Better with Draft

Simple, do something like jsfiddle. Let me play around with it, then if I want to save the doc I'll register.

latraveleron Why Facebook will never make a significant profit

I agree, I'm kind of surprised we haven't heard much of anything on the ad network front from FB. I think an Adsense competitor and a Paypal competitor are the two big items they could have.

latraveleron Silicon Valley's dirty secret - age bias

I've been telling people this for years. It needs to be cut out of the SV culture because if not most of us young guys (27 here) will be suffering from it on the backend of our careers.
