login info and MFA devices in a lock-box for them to inherit.

This seems wise, but won't work unless the software allows multiple MFA devices. I need my MFA device & phones on me to access my accounts several times a day. My bank logs me out after a few minutes and requires MFA to get back in

Full transparency, I worked with Algolia when I was a YC partner years ago. I also invested from my fund. But I've been meaning to do a sit-down discussion with this team for a while. We've funded a lot of API-first developer-focused businesses in the past: Easypost, Lob, Apollo GraphQL, and developer focused stuff like LogDNA and so some of this is wanting to point to things that work well. Interactivity in particular is really important to nail in first time experience. I'm also a customer of Algolia— I use it in all my software projects including Posthaven and Bookface at YC. I had to implement Lucene at Palantir and I used both Lucene and Thinking Sphinx when I ran engineering (and devops too) for my top 200 site Posterous. (In retrospect I should have hired a devops team... but that's another story.) And the contrast between running your own search at scale and having something work out of box with code that's ready to rock... I genuinely believe it's pretty magical.

You didn't answer OP's question, which was:

This is an advertisement of Algolia. Isn't it?

Reflecting on your answer, you appear to be advertising for Algolia as well. It's a nice product, but the impression I get is that OP is right -- this post is an advertisement.

My receipt was in the app shortly after (I walked about two blocks and checked). I think it took longer for an email to show up, but can't recall exactly

River (Typography) 6 years ago

The caption of one of the article's images says "Czech proofreader's marks for a river". Does this mean that points were deducted for a student unintentionally creating a river? The article does not elaborate

Can't be more than 2.5 because Backblaze B2 already gives you $5/TB/Mo.

Well it can be, if they have a lot of inefficiencies. Backblaze could have more experienced engineers who overcame these. I assure you, I can accidentally design a very expensive storage system as I’m not that smart ;)

I know some attorneys are on HN, so question: does Namecheap/Whoisguard have a legal obligation to reveal that requested info?

Bureaucracy is rarely as expensive as aggressive profiteering.

Have you seen the DoD and other gov entity contracting? Perhaps we can expect the same level of contracting that the DoD has today, outsourcing those expensive mistakes to others, for them to take the blame/fall/

I can see a situation where pharma bureaucrats refuse to approve or pursue things, because government mistakes are more unforgivable than business mistakes (where failure and experiments are often encouraged). I would expect more layers of approval/red-tape to develop as no-one wants to accept the blame of approving.

Procore is a construction tech "unicorn".

A helpful analysis of the S-1 can be found here: https://news.crunchbase.com/news/construction-tech-unicorn-p...

The summary:

It revealed both increased revenue and net loss in 2019. Specifically, the company’s revenue surged 55 percent in 2019 to $289.2 million compared with $186.4 million in 2018. At the same time, its net loss was up by 46.5 percent to $83.1 million in 2019 compared to $56.7 million in 2018.

If you only knew the amount of criminals caught in Europe because of the perceived privacy of WhatsAPP.

Is there a high correlation between criminals and intelligence?
