Yep! All messages are in a single mbox file and it's 3.2GB. cdubz@professor-farnsworth ~/data $ du -h Mail-chris.mbox 3.2G Mail-chris.mbox

It is actually mbox. I should have provided more detailed numbers - in my Takeout file, for example, there are 91,360 chat messages and only 23,407 email messages .

I am working on digging around this data right now, actually. Some details on my website (see profile) and I will post on HN about it at some point when I get things further along (also want to look at Location History and Chrome data expor

I pulled mine recently and it was about 3.5GB with ~115k items (chat messages are included). Also pulled my wife's - 217k items @6GB.

Yep! And much more. But gmvault does also restore emails to an account, interestingly. I am (slowly) working on a project to pull some statistics from Takeout's mbox file for Mail. Also want to play around with the Location History, Ch

It's still possible to come up with vanity domains using common TLDs. You just need to have some wiggle room (: I replaced a single letter in the shortened version of my own name and got a .net for it just a few months ago.

Well this ends up being on topic since the content touches on "fake news". Perhaps this site should be classified as such by whatever voodoo standard Facebook implements.

For encrypted emails, yes. Not for regular emails. They don't support PGP (Does Gmail?) at the moment, but are apparently working on it. What other approaches are there?

Hey, if it takes a little away from the barrage of boring, half-reasoned opinions about the MacBook announcement, I'll take it. https://hn.algolia.com/?query=apple&sort=byPopularity&prefix...

In the same way that commute preferences are different for my colleague and me, they are different for everyone. My commute is also by train (metro) and I find the additional time that I have tacked on to be surprisingly draining. My previo

We have one mega commuter at our office who seems perfectly content with the travel and he has been doing it for as long as I have been here (so at least four years). He has a 20 min. drive from his home in WV to the train station and then

Not flying, but my worst travel experience ever was a 30 hour bus ride from Ouagadougou to Cape Coast. It's normally a bit shorter, but our bus was held up by highway robbers, who took all of my money.

Exactly. The headline of the article[0] Cringely links - IBM says it is 3X more expensive to manage PCs than Macs - doesn't even say anything about Apple computers being "cheaper to own", as Cringely puts it. Admittedly, I ha

So you've got the caps taken care of. What about the remaining parts of the power supply? Say you do sign up and get 1,000 power supplies. What do you do with them?
