more like a blackout.


I think it’s more of a you than them problem. I didn’t take this as a production-grade.


If lots of people are having expectations that you didn't meant to give them and don't want to meet, that could get inconvenient for everyone including you, regardless of whether you want to blame it on a "them problem". So it might make sense to adjust the marketing to better set expectations. But that's your call, you can also just deal with it knowing that it's their fault for misunderstanding you.


The landing page has no pricing, no support model, says "made for indie hackers", had no company name and credits the page to a single person.

How much more obvious can it be?

Yeah normally 11 cents per kWh but right now am at $4.24 per kWh.


I been way more productive than I ever was in the office.


not for all major banks, mine (usaa) forces 2fa which broke ynab and made it useable because i don't want to do data entry for every transaction.


USAA works fine for me. It just asks you to enter the token during login.

EDIT: and I think it migrated to OAuth anyways so no more tokens


I ran into this for alliant. Reach out to YNAB support, they adjust your account supposedly to not use Plaid for instances like MFA being enabled. It wasn't clear if its an all or nothing deal though for all your accounts to use Plaid or not.


It's been said elsewhere but just in case, they recently started using different import provider(s) and many accounts that were broken before now work great, including MFA ones.


They might have fixed this. They switched to using plaid for external accounts this year, and I was able to add several banks which had 2FA earlier today.


whats the karma level for that?



strange, i can flag posts but can't vouch at 400+ karma


You can't vouch for something until it's dead. That's what vouching does: it unkills it. If you want to counteract flags, upvote.


Flags are worth more than upvotes - that's one of the imbalancing forces between the two. And something can be flagged off the front page (or two/three) - effectively halting any natural upvotes - without killing it.


That's true. Flags aren't downvotes. They're meant exclusively for stories that don't belong on the front page of HN, at all. Using them as a simple downvote is an abuse, and doing that routinely can get your flag power quietly revoked. Flagging helps the site much more than it hurts it, but, like everything else, it's deeply imperfect; I've had banal submissions flagged myself. The thing to do when that happens is to mail hn@yc and ask for the flags to be lifted.


The vouch option only appears for me on [dead] or [flagged] comments when I access them directly from the poster's profile. I've never gotten the vouch to work on submissions.


Yep, this post is now showing as flagged and I have no option to vouch for it. Not that I would in this case, but the option is not there for me.


Users can flag submissions. There isn't a vouch option for submissions, but upvoting acts a bit like a vouch.

Users can flag and vouch comments.

If you think a story or comment is unfairly flag-killed you can email the mods I guess. This is particularly useful when something is being talked about on HN and the author / creator makes an account to join in that conversation. They'll sometimes find their account is rate-limited because it's a new account.


I definitely have a “vouch” option for submissions. I think it’s a newer addition than vouching comments.


Thanks, that kind of makes sense.


Me neither.


> What is odd though is that it's the RIAA filing suit here and not google. Google has a real complaint, RIAA certainly does not.

Probably not wanting to poke a hornets nest of the open source community.


We might as well ban screen shots because it can illegally reproduce photography stills. /s


Android allows applications to disable screenshots while they are running, as a form of DRM.


It's not a problem on a rooted phone, irrespective of what app developer decides or wants. And as I've mentioned, at a pinch, just photograph the screen with another device.

These days, just about anyone can copy anything that the DMCA covers despite any attempts to protect it. The answer is elsewhere, that is copyright laws have to be updated to be equitable to everyone. Unfortunately, it's dinosaurs like the RIAA who are standing in the way stopping it.
