Hey InboxReads creator here. I've been facing the same problem with other newsletters submitted to the site so I think you're right that spammers are scraping directories.

I've added a bunch of mitigations but found that they're faking the referrer when subscribing to newsletters and not even going through the site anymore.

Captchas do solve it though!

But I'm just as baffled at their endgame as you are.

Haha you're right it was a necessity back in the day. The look was pretty cool though!

Yes exactly! And native support creates an expectation that every website and app will in turn support dark mode, when some don't or there are glitches it negatively impacts the overall experience.

And you're completely right about email. Seems like many email clients force email content into dark mode, even images and it's such a pain to handle.

I agree with you about the importance of great user experiences and there should be no limit on how much work is put into that. My post was more about dark mode being seen as a necessity for a great user experience. There's little evidence for its benefits and the time spent implementing and maintaining it could be spent on improving all the other issues you mention.

I am an Android engineer with 9 years of experience building and launching apps and SDKs while working at companies of various sizes. I also have lots of experience in building APIs to support frontends in various languages and building cross-platform apps in React Native.

Most American and European cities are significantly less dense than their Asian counterparts. There's a long way to go before they reach any natural limits.

But the problem is the supply of housing hasn't kept up with that demand due to artificial limits placed on the market. Single-family zoning has made it illegal to build more of the dense housing that's needed in cities today.

Quibi was more "I'm going to spend $2Bn failing where others failed before"

This is what makes it especially ridiculous. Verizon had just failed with a huge splashy launch for go90. It takes a ton of arrogance to then decide to do the same without any real innovation. Rotating between landscape and portrait is a feature not an entire product. And especially not the basis for a media company.

The average startup founder would never be in the position to pitch an idea like this AND still receive $2B in funding. This wasn't just a bad bet it was a stupid one.

This is what baffles me the most with PG's take. Quibi's approach went against every thing YC teaches and yet it's impressive. I would think we'd have even higher standards for veteran execs like these.

I think it is a colonial hangover.

It's the same in former British colonies in the Caribbean. We're thought "Proper English" in school and the American spellings are considered wrong. Local dialects are frowned upon in professional settings and writing.

It adds Marvel, Star Wars, and Fox content.

Was it inboxreads.co ?

This looks really interesting.

If you're interested you can submit it to my site https://inboxreads.co and it'll be shared with our community and newsletter.

I'd love to add your newsletter to my site http://inboxreads.co

You can submit if you like

I'm working on a site that collects newsletters and sorts them by categories and there's a few I've added already that might be what you're looking for

http://inboxreads.co/tags/management

I built a project just for this that allows you to find newsletters in specific topics. Most of the newsletters I've added are curated so you might find some you like.

This is a useful list https://github.com/poteto/hiring-without-whiteboards

Pascal, HTML/CSS, PHP, C, Javascript, C#, Java, Python, Swift

And for some of these by learn I mean I built something with it without properly learning the language till later.

I agree with your overall sentiment. It's better to know what people truly believe.

But this guy is in a position of power, that has a history of murdering innocent black civilians at an alarmingly high rate. That's the last person who should be making a snarky remark about it. It's not just having an opinion it's making light of murders committed by your co-workers.

Paid suspension is what you'd get for killing an unarmed black person. He'll probably get a pat on the back.

Really like what you're doing.

I think it'd be really useful if you could show the types of visas companies are willing to sponsor especially US companies. You could show if they're sponsoring new H1Bs, H1B transfers, TN, etc.

It's not a zero-sum game. By all means raise attention to the environmental issues but being against this does not mean there's no attention being paid to other issues.

If you look at how many signed up for Mars One that shouldn't be a problem.

Really nice design! I think the simplicity compared to Google Calendar could suit a lot of people.

What sort of growth would you look for in a social net applying to YC Fellowship & YC Core?

damn...still no response and just noticed our email server was having issues...

Hey for those who got an email did they send it to each co-founder's email address or just the one listed on your account?

This could be for a huge play in the music discovery area. It's ripe for disruption and the one missing link in the current music services. Twitter tried and failed with their music service (despite acquiring a pretty competent solution to build it) maybe Apple can succeed there. It'll take something more than simple popularity based charts and someone like Zane might be the answer.
