Can I give it a list of products and have it provide data enrichment for each of them?

Is there a way to preview changes in CC before “accepting” like you can in Cursor?

Do you have Castro set to stream or download? Can't figure out which is most efficient for storage purposes (I've only ever done streaming, but the cache files always become super large)

is Plaid inherently bad? Is having an automated way of pulling in real time data worth the security risk of authing into all your bank accounts? Genuinely asking as this seems great in theory, but I'm a bit confused what it looks like to manually keep it updated.

When did they get the .google domain extension? Don't think I've seen that before

Yeah, I switched away from Google for this reason. Pretty wild to think of the implications of losing your phone and having no backup. Even switching phones required resettings all your codes. Authy is a mess, but at least had this functionality when they were still actively worked on.

There was one settlement in Illinois, I think it was Facebook as well, where each person who filled it out got $395.

Ask HN: Frighteningly ambitious startup ideas for 2023?

I still find myself re-visiting PG's frighteningly ambitious startup ideas list from 2012. Obviously tech has changed a lot since then. What ideas would you put in an article if you were writing it in 2023?

Unless something has changed, they explicitly disallow any website that facilitates for profit commerce. Granted I don't think they closely monitor it unless your bandwidth is over a certain threshold. However, Cloudflare Pages is free and unlimited FWIW but I doesn't seem as nice or fast as Vercel.

Does this Fraud Guard they offer protect against this? https://www.twilio.com/docs/verify/preventing-toll-fraud/sms...

I was surprised this was only 6 episodes. Felt like it could have been an on-going series.

Why did he not do any due diligence before buying? It's not like he had FOMO he was going to miss out. That's the part I don't understand in all of this.

I always felt Google would buy them to add a design tool to Google Drive's suite of offerings. Guess this make more sense.

I was surprised to see the CSO replying to the tweet. I do agree with you, but do you think that was more for the PR and they knew about it or no way?

Would be really appreciated if they would enable their free plan to be used for "commercial" sites. Their definition of a commercial-purpose site is so expansive it precludes just about every site I need to stand up. I know they deserve to make money, but Cloudflare, Netlifly, Heroku, etc. all offer this, so makes it hard to justify not just using one of them.

Kottke was very formative to my first big "deep dive" into the web and truly being blown away by the community / what would you could create. He was one of the original patreons.

Side note: what happened to his social bookmarking site he was working on?
