I changed my email address in ~200 accounts and only had trouble updating a few: BuiltIn, CPUID, Flickr, Kakao, JCrew, Nord, and Steiger.
After I contacted Kakao support, they asked for some documents. Then they called me to verify the details. A day or two later, they updated my online profile with an editable email field, so I was finally able to update my email address.
When I contacted JCrew chat support, they performed the update immediately and emailed me a temporary password from [email protected].
Flickr and Steiger were also happy to help. TBD on the others.
So I can't think of any accounts that don't allow an email change either. But you might have to jump through some hoops.
I enabled the new rules that support labels and opted into the beta. If you create a new rule that automatically applies a label, you can choose to apply it to "All matching conversations now" or "New matching messages on arrival."
A large number of HN users are based in Silicon Valley and the surrounding area, which is well known for being largely non-religious. That said, I am a software engineer who is a Christian and spent last summer in the Bay Area, so don't let statistics discourage you. I met plenty of other Christian software engineers while I was out there. Most of them have full-time jobs at well-known tech companies. I don't know if any of them use HN.
Depending on how many software engineers are in your area, it may be more efficient to ask people at church if they are entrepreneurial software engineers than to ask HN users if they are Christians.
Some people who would have made excellent entrepreneurs will never become one because their existing lives are satisfactory. However, they may still develop many of the same skills as an entrepreneur while rising up through the ranks of a corporation, which puts them in an excellent position to write business literature.
Others will never become one because their lives are hard and making the jump to starting a business would only make them harder.
For everyone else in the murky middle, the question remains. "Should I become an entrepreneur?" And if the answer is 'yes', falsestprophet's question follows: "Will I become an entrepreneur?"
Entrepreneurs are people who are risk-averse enough to try something new. The successful ones minimize risk by making calculated decisions that make sense.
Every entrepreneur has a unique story to tell, but not so unique that you can't imagine yourself fitting in to the stories of some entrepreneurs.
Even if you have to go through the arduous task of typing a website into your browser's address bar to get from YouTube to eBay, it's still a fraction of the effort required to get from Ace Hardware to Target, no matter how close the stores are situated to each other. The Internet doesn't need a one-stop shop as badly as "real life".
If that was THE website to go to for all of the services they offer, saving a couple seconds of typing might be advantageous. But they're not. Why should people switch? It's not particularly superior, as far as I can tell.
I applaud the effort, but will most likely never use it, and I doubt I'm alone.
It's the natural next step after software. Imagine the token costs though...
