Agree. Recently I’ve noticed the complaints with paying for Kagi search [0]. HN loves to moan about how bad Google is but paying $10 ($5 if you want a tiny plan) is apparently too much for something as critical as search?
As you say, those coffees seem to keep on selling…

- nottorp 1y agoEveryone wants a Starbucks coffee per month from you. Even if you're on FAANG compensation, there's a finite number of coffees you can afford to pay for.

- deadbabe 1y agoIf you’re on FANG compensation, and you earn roughly $200k after taxes in one year, and you spent it all of it on Starbucks coffee, you could buy roughly a century worth of coffee if you drink one a day. If on the other hand, you spent the $200k on leasing an omg.lol domain in perpetuity, you could hold the domain for 10 millenniums. If we were in the Dune universe, that means your omg.lol domain would expire roughly around the same time as the Butlerian Jihad starts and the thinking machines are overthrown.
