Duly noted. Is there any way to report vote thrashing, or do you have tools to detect it?

I completely agree. My request can be satisfied by simply removing the "s" from "briefings" to make it singular. As far as I know, this has only occurred at a single briefing.

Wow, the downvotes are rolling in.

Title is misleading. Press was blocked from a single press briefing. I do not see anything in the article about briefings going forward. Can someone change the title so it's less sensationalized? Edit: thanks to the moderator for remov

Two immediate suggestions: 1. Use a Ulysses pact[1] explaining how data is and will be used. Assure users that the company won't turn into a data broker[2]. 2. Either lobby local/state/federal government to create legal data

This would be a lot easier for me to digest if YC could ask their companies going forward to pledge to treat all user data as PII.

It sounds to me like the author of this post is going for quantity over quality. In the realm of book-reading, that's almost always a losing proposition. Here's an approach that has worked better for me: pick a complex question an

Depends on what you mean by "typical." Do you think you could craft an average blog post to summarize the essence of something like Homer's "The Odyssey"?

For me, it's not about being a "user hero." It's because if I pay for an account, I become a customer, and not part of their product. It completely changes the relationship in a way that is more favorable to me, which is

Was it ever made open source? I tried installing it a few years ago, and IIRC one of my complaints was that I could not self-host it. Am I remembering correctly?

Completely agreed. This is why I am curious for more information. I'm a big fan of Persona, and very sad to see this happen.

Can you provide evidence of that? I find this interesting, because a lot of people are saying "it's public data." I would argue that if you get a C&D for scraping/etc, it's no longer public.

1. If the data in question were public, Facebook would not need to be the ones selling it. There would be a whole market of third party data aggregators. 2. If this were true, why would we need the Bill of Rights? The entire point of the Fo
