"Each returned URL is unique and valid for a single usage, under the specified conditions."

Where and how is the url actually invalidated after it is used? (or are you relying on expiration as invalidation?)

If the only thing that ever comes of this is containing GIF reactions to the original message's thread this is the best, most productivity-boosting slack update ever.

This morning was real confusing. Couldn't find any status pages showing disruption, users couldn't log into the system but could use it if they were already logged in.

Ran around like a headless chicken until I spotted this and a couple of vague tweets about Google+ being down.

Wow, this is a fantastic visualization of algorithms with scary doctoral-thesis-y names. I love visualizations that make scary things simple.

This is brilliant.

I'll bet most, if not all of the best sysadmins in the world would be in utter befuddlement if someone in their office was using a simple "idle" iphone as a keylogger. It's so out there that it'll make you think you're going crazy: the perfect crime.

Why would this be hard to spoof? What's required here?

Multiple Facebook accounts and a quick script?

I wasn't aware you COULD be downvoted on HN? Is it just my Tampermonkey script hiding the downvote button or something?

If this can match spotify's catalog any time soon, AND be available as an app or (usable) mobile site, ad free: RIP music services. This is an enticing offer for those on the fence about prime, given that spotify premium is $120 a year. For the same price, you get prime, spotify, a bit of netflix/hulu (hopefully more to come on the video end).

Pretty brilliant move.

It's not about disruption so much as it is about choice.

Taxis should not be some ultra-regulated industry, and if it is, it shouldn't be near IMPOSSIBLE (read: ultra-expensive) to be part of that regulated sector.

Nowadays, it's a service as basic as being a barista or a dog walker, the dangers imposed on society by having Uber/Lyft drivers pick up willing, paying customers are microscope to naught. (State/County/City) Sanctioned Taxi drivers aren't some elite demographic for honesty and morals.

If it's an insurance thing, (reasonably) legislate it, but until then, don't stop consumers from using a service that they are clearly overwhelmingly pleased with .
