Check out Mintable: https://github.com/kevinschaich/mintable It uses Plaid out-of-the-box, but it has a pluggable provider model for other data sources: https://github.com/kevinschaich/mintable&#x2

By virtue of 96% being older than 24? For a magazine called Teen Vogue that's about dating tips and makeup advice for teenagers. Yeah. While it's not exactly an unbiased source, Wikipedia trusts this citation enough... https:&#x2

Yeah, it's important to note that while my anecdote was from the "post-CA timeframe", they had also just had an exploit that resulted in mass harvesting of OAuth tokens[1]. And of course, a couple months later it came out tha

If one of the goals of a PR department is to prevent debacles like CA from negatively impacting shareholder value, I'd say they were massively successful.

I'm assuming you mean *readership rather than leadership? It would be kinda weird if they had even 10% teens as their execs. But yes, I've also heard it's a bunch of creepy older folks

They're trying to avoid issues with COPPA, which basically says that they can't store user data for anyone under 13 without explicit formal consent from a parent (with some really complicated exceptions and ways to comply). https

I'd expect the same, especially given Valve's multiplayer games run natively on Linux ;) To be honest, other than having better communication on the issue, I'm not sure how I'd handle this one differently than EA...

I can't tell you how they do it, but Telegram is lightning fast with push notifications across all kinds of devices, including Android. Been rocking it as my primary messenger for years. Whenever a few of us are sitting around in rea

This is awesome, thanks so much for sharing. I'm really surprised I've never come across it because I've thought of building something like this before. I really want to look into how this could ingest my own post-GDPR data e

I bring a Nintendo Switch with me when I travel because it helps cut down the boredom on flights, especially international. Books are great, movies are great, but sometimes I just wanna play some indie game on a halfway decent screen with r

I've heard anecdotally a number of times that actuaries peg men with higher car insurance rates. I'm only just learning that there's anything like this in the credit system to prevent gender bias. Does something like that pro

Not a Mac user, so I have a little anecdotal evidence here, but with all the buzz about Catalina being broken, has this been a problem in earlier versions? Just last night I spent all day trying to do some work on a friend's 2011 or 20

Exactly. At face value, I'm firmly in favor of what Ravikant was saying, but even the simple example of a spam filter proves how it's impossible in practice: without basic spam filtering, something like Twitter would be absolutely

For me, tee-ball was writing C into the Pico text editor, gcc'ing it, and running it. Pitching and hitting was the first time I ever opened an IDE. Now I know my way around, but the learning curve on firing up VS or Eclipse the first t

It's not "just about rules". Having the flexibility to spend slightly more or less based on fluctuations in your workforce, or customer demand, is highly preferable to making n-year bets on your needs, even if you end up payi

I think this is a great way of putting it. Dating apps very often feel this way to me: no one is perfect, so it's very difficult to know if you're making the right set of tradeoffs, and then you feel very impersonal for looking at

Random aside on the "analog is in" train: I've heard three different people reference cigarettes as "analog" (as opposed to "digital" vapes) in the last week. I keep waiting for the other shoe to drop on h

Almost certainly, yes. They started with a fairly extensive bot platform, and I'd expect that this will plug commerce as a first-class into bots.

I don't know, Sawant got way less than was expected in the primaries (36.7% [1]), and I think a lot of folks are in the Sawant or anti-Sawant camp whereby all on the non-Sawant primary votes will consolidate to Orion. Or people blew of
