Don't forget one major thing, think about how many people on social media are not old enough to have a debit card, PayPal account, or similar. You effectively instantly exclude them. In significant parts of the world, including the US,

Do you sell it as a free version and a paid version as two separate packages/apps, or do you activate an in app purchase? From my experience dealing with the general public (I used to build some games that also exported to Android) the

I understand. I would not 1 star a paid app for $5 because I wanted it for $0.99, that's dumb (though think about how smart the average person is, and assume half of them are less than average, and they all have phones too). Let's

They are helpful to me: these reviews tell me when a free app might be hiding payments behind IAP (Android's store does not list every possible IAP + their cost and description, iOS does, so on Android almost every app just has a $0.99

It is not about being known in advance. It's to complain that a product is overpriced. People do this all the time, go look at reddit or HN or anywhere else complaining about inflated monthly costs, expensive SaaS, lamenting how Adobe

I don't see why not. A complaint about the price is still a valid complaint.

You exclusively post e-foundation related articles, don't disclose any affiliation with them, and call them "haters". Questionable.

I can also think of many scenarios where group project-based assessments can be completely done by someone else. I've seen people pay others to physically attend as them, pre-COVID, literally hand over their student ID to be physically

I'm not sure how to feel about this. I run Tor relays to support the network, but at the same time having moderated a forum that received tens of thousands of signups per day over Tor and NordVPN and PIA, all of which were able to veri

Think of it as more like Comcast shouldn't be allowed to charge you 100x per GB (in addition to being your only choice in internet) if your traffic is to/from any streaming provider while providing their own streaming service for

The equipment thing is in reference to their latest cap rollout universally (it's now applied everywhere, instead of just the areas they don't really have competition in) - $30/m addon to remove the cap or $10 (13?)/m if

I've updated my reply a bit to take these into account. The last time I used Comcast it was something like 400 Mbps down, advertised 10-15 Mbps up (reality sub-5). The Comcast site no longer shows upload speeds anywhere - I remember th

In the bay area there's some overlap. I've seen places that have Webpass in addition to something else, but it's always a MDU and not a single family home. I'll edit it a bit to clarify. From what I've seen fiber pr

by ev1 6y ago
There is no competition; let's exclude the probably sub-10% of the US where you are in a major city, live in a MDU, and can get genuine fiber (at least 1G/1G, last mile metro-e/eth/fiber, for the purposes of this), or li

by ev1 6y ago
This was actually not an option in the past. In one of those pre-existing markets you'd basically just purchase from Comcast Business instead for something like 100M down, same 2-5M up on coax for a few hundred a month w/o cap (an

They should also charge reasonable wholesale rates in that case if you remove the monopolization of the last mile. In other countries this is actually how it works already, the underlying cabling is municipal, you just pick an ISP to transi

I did not negotiate enough total comp to afford a guillotine. Amusingly, it is kind of a "two birds with one stone" situation where part of the reason why there is so much secrecy around salaries is that people will get upset when

I ran the second I could. Proper fiber is great. Sick of Comcast's 5 Mbps "up to" upload on their gigabit plan that they just use the word gigabit everywhere on but it takes 4 hours to upload a docker container.

They've had a 1TB cap + pay per GB overages in basically everywhere they don't have competition already. For years. I've always hated looking at a several hundred dollar internet-only bill.
