   bad documentation and API over charges

   First, the docuemtnation is out of date... for node.js, anyway. This meant that I had to patch together parts of the docuemtnation to get the API to work. Then, as the articles are paginated. the API charges 50 token for each page of the query, when it should be 50 tokens for the entire query. Therefore, I'd been charged 5,000 tokens within minutes. (Note: it's $150 USD for every 10,000 tokens)

   I asked for a refund, explaining the pagination issue, and was told that I made a mistake.

   I've requested my money back from the credit card company and provided them the proof of faulty documentation and billing.

  We all act like writing www. Is lame and for dads/grandparents, but the truth is: 1. You never know when you need to write https:// 2. It looks a lot uglier 3. Literally means "hypertext transfer protocol (secure)" (I had to look it up, and I am a hacker news user.) 4. Just happened to me: in a youtube description you cant just put ycombinator.com, you have to write https://ycombinator.com. This is not a problem... - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago

• Did Twitter die, Elon?

  I said this on ycombinator.com, if Elon spent more time on his business rather than arguing online about covid (which is what he was doing at the time of the outage btw), I feel like less twitter outages would happen and perhaps the Twitter Status would be properly updated. Of course, he would rather spend his time conversing online like a 14 year old on MW2 instead of actually doing his job. Source: over 1 year ago

• Making Something Waspy: A Review Of Wasp

  I wish I could remember what took me to YCombinator's website on the 10th of October, 2022. That was when I first heard about Wasp and another language called DarkLang. After I learned about Wasp, I was intrigued and curious to know how it works, which led me to join the discord server the next day. - Source: dev.to / over 1 year ago

• "what did you hack" question and answer not visible in application review

  Hmmm. I did not receive any communication from ycombinator.com ever. Is there another domain it comes from? Should I be concerned? My application is showing as "Submitted.". Source: almost 2 years ago
