I wonder how @newsycombinator is moderated. I just saw two stories about Apple's credit card disappear. 5 minutes ago they were in the top 10, now they are both gone. (you can still read the comments if you have the link or search directly, they are just not listed anymore).

The dangers of using @Uber_Business
medium.com/@giacomo.rants/us…
Me and ~10 of my coworkers got our PERSONAL @Uber accounts banned because our company BUSINESS account got compromised. Their solution was to ban everyone who ever used the business account. Even people who don't work at the company anymore got banned.
This is a clear example of why Uber and similar services need more regulations. A taxi driver cannot refuse you service, but Uber is free to ban you for literally no reason? Let me repeat, I got banned despite doing NOTHING wrong. I'll be speaking about @Uber with my local MP.
TIL in Taiwan you might be required to have your passport with you if you want to watch a movie. What a weird world we live in.
. @PayPal your security check flow is a joke! I verified email, cc, uploaded my passport and I still can't get into my account because I'm abroad and can't receive sms. Called support and the only suggestion was "maybe don't use PayPal until you are back in Australia?"
Whoever designed the @bookingcom app clearly has no idea of what travelling on a budget means. Or maybe they do and they are just doing their best to stop people from finding the best cheap options because they would make less money.
Oh look, it's that time of the year where @Dropbox increases the price and give you more space you don't need. Any suggestion for a more reasonably priced service?

I honestly don't understand why we have had nearly ten years of pretending that the Adani Carmichael mine is viable.
Here's some really simple maths explaining why it just doesn't stand up financially:
1. Plan is for a 10m ton per year mine, rising to 20mtpa
