doron2402 | 2 years ago | on: PG&E claims no connection between rate increases and $2.2B jump in earnings
I'm constantly amazed by the fact that in California, one of the world's most expensive places to live, with a GDP rivaling that of some countries, a company like PG&E is responsible for providing electricity and gas. Surely, we can expect a higher level of service?

That's a known issue; there are a number of companies in YC that have had to pay thousands of dollars to Twilio.
The way I've worked around this issue is by:
- Verifying the phone number before sending SMS. - Using a whitelist of supported countries. - Limit the amount Twilio can charge us
Hope that helps

After doing some digging, I realized a pretty uncomfortable amount of my data is publicly accessible via data brokers (addresses, phone numbers, family links). Not scraped from breaches — just legally aggregated and sold.
I found this tool that tries to automate removal requests: https://datawipenow.com/
Do people here actively try to clean this up, or is the consensus that it’s basically a losing battle?
