Startup Digest event submissions use similar method: no account, every login is an email sent to you. The problem I have is that I do use a password manager and like that much a lot more than switching back and forth of email and the site.

Totally! I hate queuing in the bank to manage my account (and of course only open at the time when I'm working too). I hate that Paypal only lets me withdraw to single bank (out of like 50...) here in Taiwan because they misinterpret a

Sure, don't like it don't buy it, but if there's 0% (that's zero) other option, what can you do? That's the case in practice over here in Taiwan that you have to choose between no computer, or one with Windows. That

I'm working at a tech company that is leaning towards such support. Have any suggestion on how would we go about doing such grants well? We are in touch with the community around our projects, and they are doing awesome stuff. I'd

We are using a no-ip.biz address for the Taipei Hackerspace website (because need DynamicDNS due to stupid settings of our network provider). After the whole day it was still working, I thought we will be not affected. No such luck, microso
