I actually think they've been very clear on this from the beginning, including the reason why (although it wasn't spelled out). They've always meant apps that offer more or less the same functionality as official Twitter clie

I think J-1 would be the most legally correct (IANAL and all but I have some J-1 experience). YC should be able to bring founders on board. Since J-1 is for education and the program is basically an education. J-1 is also quite openly (ab)u

I see a lot of (rightfully) upset comments but this doesn't really come as a surprise to me given that Twitter (and others like FB, GOOG, ad networks) already track websites you visit. I know there are ways of blocking that but I would

A drone could detect loss of communication with the pocket device (snow or falling into the ocean should be enough to do that) and start some recovery/emergency sequence. E.g. stop + try pinging the device, if there's still no rep

Maybe the problem is the length of countdown timers? I don't know how they are determined and set but anecdotally I often see 10 seconds or sometimes others in excess of 15s or even 20s on a road that takes ~5s to cross. It seems to me

I applaud your courage to stand up to that but I don't know about following the advice after reading "i do often end up in court with cops over a lot of things, this included"... Confused.

I agree with the advice above, and adding on to it, as a founder... If the case is morally and ethically sound then I wouldn't hold it against you, probably applaud you. On the contrary if it's a shakedown of sorts I would be ques

I've used some toolbar applications for this for years. The current one I use is Go2Shell: https://itunes.apple.com/se/app/go2shell/id445770608?l=en&mt... But Cmd+T seems much easier. :)

Maybe allowing users to have multiple API tokens, that way you have one for IFTTT and another for each service you set up. Gmail does something similar to this btw. Although I agree with you, there's a good chance that people who reuse

Maybe sites like IFTTT are doing it because it's much easier to remember a username/password (assuming you don't use generated passwords) than an API token. A global third-party api token barely provides much more safety than

More like you can't do that in the USA because of insurance/liabilities. In most of Europe, assuming you found a friendly soul, they'd give you a hand. Liability is mostly an "american" thing. (I'm from Europe)
