If I'm not the customer, then I'm the product.

This isn't always true, so it's best to look at it on a case by case basis. One wouldn't suggest that Typescript coders are a product of MS.

So far, they don't seem to be treating vscode users like the product. I think they're are building out great free tooling to entice users to use their other paid services like Azure.

Wow, I didn't know you could use Spotlight to do calculations! Thank you!

For anyone on macOS who doesn't know, hit command + spacebar.

feeling all giddy when you get a "reward" later means you've been gamed.

It doesn't really feel that way as you're flying to Hawaii for free.

It's okay to read articles that you don't completely agree with.

They are actually automatically archiving unsubscribed emails to keep free users under the limit.

You can remain a free user so long as you have 2,000 or fewer contacts in your audience, and you’ll now have the new free plan features. If the new way of counting contacts causes your audience to exceed 2,000 contacts before June 15, 2019, we’ll automatically archive your unsubscribed and transactional contacts. After June 15, we’ll begin calculating your audience as described in Section 7B of our TOU, but you can always manually archive contacts to keep your audience under 2,000 contacts.

I got this email from them today:

If you are a current free user You can remain a free user so long as you have 2,000 or fewer contacts in your audience, and you’ll now have the new free plan features. If the new way of counting contacts causes your audience to exceed 2,000 contacts before June 15, 2019, we’ll automatically archive your unsubscribed and transactional contacts. After June 15, we’ll begin calculating your audience as described in Section 7B of our TOU, but you can always manually archive contacts to keep your audience under 2,000 contacts.

So it sounds like they are actually automatically archiving unsubscribed emails if it puts you over the limit.

It sounds strange to consider if you "should have to" when buying something. I wanted the previous model macbook pro, so I bought one and I didn't really care what behavior I was encouraging.

Yeah, it's pretty upsetting to see the lack of compassion in here. I think it is just harder for some to imagine real people on the other side of HN comments (or any online comments). If we were all in a room talking to each other, instead of a message-board, then we would see far more empathy and kindness.

I'm glad you're here to be a kind and compassionate voice.

Failing at something doesn't make a person a failure or else we would all be failures. Do you really thing extra compassion towards a person contemplating suicide is such a bad thing? Or is being 100% correct in your words more important? I know we're on a message board, but OP is a real person with real feelings in a pretty fragile state right now.

Surely it couldn't hurt, right? I could argue that you calling his words empty and insincere could hurt more.

More plastic than a super market does? And can you not just recycle the plastic containers?

If the world switched to services like Blue Apron/Hello Fresh/etc. rather than shopping in super markets, I wonder if we would overall produce more or less pollution? Super markets use a lot of energy and have a lot of waste.

I would guess that the intention of the feature was not just to give users results quicker, but to also make them feel as if Google search is very fast. So it may have been effective even if you didn't click any links.

You might want to put Boston somewhere in your description for those who just ctrl+f for that

I wasn't joking, but I clarified my question in response to another comment here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14343964

I agree with you, but I still think they could benefit from at least having an app that loads their website. Craigslist is represented in app-stores by unofficial 3rd party apps that aren't very good. Users may have bad experiences with those apps, which Craigslist may want to prevent or control.

Some people might think (incorrectly) that their lack of presence in app stores means the company isn't focused on mobile or that their platform is not intended to be used on mobile.

There are benefits to having a mobile app over just a mobile website, such as mobile notifications, consistent/better authentication, being featured on users' home screens (next to LetGo, OfferUp, etc.) instead of hidden away in a web browser app. I would think that Craigslist would find their users to be more engaged with an app.

Why doesn't Craigslist have mobile apps?

4,000 calories? I can't remember any of their meals being over 1,000 calories per serving.

I'm guessing an electric grinder for the beans.

There may be notable services missing, but I wouldn't say it is an oversight. It seems the most popular or well-known services are covered and not all of them have referral links. Sure, there is room for improvement, but it seems to me that the creator put this together in good faith.

"Terrible" is pretty harsh and there are wet-erase markers that don't smudge.

You can come up with holes for any product. I think this is pretty clever and I bet people will buy it.

I've seen this being sold at a local big-name hardware store.

Oh, interesting. I remember reading an article [0] when it came out that mentioned that the integration was only visible on devices with Uber installed. Unless the parent was referring to a different ad?

[0] https://techcrunch.com/2014/05/06/google-maps-on-mobile-gets...

It's not a regular GMaps ad, it only shows the Uber quote if you have the Uber app installed.

I have found there to be some common misconceptions about how tax brackets work, at least in the US. I'm not sure if this is how it works in your country and you might already be aware of this, but just in case it is helpful to anyone...

Only the income that is above the boundary of that higher bracket is taxed at the higher rate. All of the income below the boundary is taxed at the lower rate. E.g. if you make $105k and a higher tax bracket starts at $100k, only $5k is taxed at the higher rate.

Out of curiosity, how are you propagating the IDs to other systems in the cluster? I am building something which could benefit from pushing config data across a cluster.

There have been a few recent cases of NFL players retiring early due to the long-term health concerns of concussions, but it's certainly not common.
