My co-founder and I launched https://www.togetherletters.com a few years ago because we never felt like we saw updates from friends on social media. We now use TogetherLetters for our own groups and see updates from them, knowi

In the 80s I was in Lexington, Ky and got my first modem (1200 baud). That started me on the path to getting connected to others in the computer scene there. Just starting out it was hard to know where to call into but fortunately someone

I did a Show HN a little while ago but you might want to check out TogetherLetters [0]. We made it to keep going with regular updates for groups of people (friends, family, coworkers, etc.) via email. Never shared on the web and it's

One side interesting thing we did for pricing is unlock features for people paying yearly over monthly. No discounts for paying yearly. I've often wondered if those small discounts (especially for the amount of money we're chargin

This is why I switched to SMSSecure. It's a TextSecure fork that continues to support encrypted SMS direct to the phone and not through a server of any kind.

One site: mandrill.com. From the fine folks at MailChimp. I've been using it and it rocks.

When I was reading this I thought to myself "wait, didn't YC have exploding offers before"? Glad you dug this up. It was widely known back then that PG viewed it as a "intelligence test" if you didn't accept

Thanks for the reminder of the name of this company. I was racking my brains to remember the exact name. I visited them back in the day (we were going to sell them IP location technology - deal never happened). They had awesome offices (

That probably has a lot to do with how isolated they are. From back in my days of doing IP location technology, North Korea had less than 50 public IP addresses whereas Antarctica had well over 1,000.

It's disappointing to know that the technology I invented in 1999 (IP location) is now being used in such a massive and unconstitutional manner. No good deed goes unpunished. :-/ Also - everyone should use and support Tor. That

Honestly I was pretty impressed with their writing even before this story. Glad to hear that they treat folks well. A welcome departure from the way other folks in that industry act.

I know I'm replying to my own post but just remembered that after I started working after college - I set up a "candy store" in my cubicle at work. I sold candy that you couldn't get in the vending machine and all for cheaper - everything

I actually did this - not the wholesale thing but selling off extra candy I had with my lunch. I then turned around and bought comic books with the money. I also did door-to-door sales of custom imprinted holiday cards. I got into that ga

Actually, there are some pretty nice places on airbnb.com. If you do that, you should go with one near a MARTA station since there is a MARTA station a block from the Tabernacle. That way you won't have to drive or find a parking spot at
