   Can you walk me through what a typical search day is like for you? To me, the 700 soft limit seems absurd so I'm curious to hear how you interact with the product. I average 50-100 searches per work day and 10-20 searcher per off day (

   This. Kagi is a great product and has been my daily driver for nearly a year. I honestly believe it's the best search engine on the market But I fear they're going to have to get their prices (and relatedly, cost per search) down

   You can still be grandfathered into unlimited, for the next year anyway. I just updated my monthly subscription to annual for just that purpose.

   I'm switching my monthly plan to annual today. My read of the announcment is that this will grandfather me into unlimited search for the year, while excluding me from any of the new AI enhancments. I hope this clearly conveys my opinio

   I don’t think I understand the argument that you’re making. Are you saying that anyone that pays for anything is a venture capitalist? That doesn’t seem like a very useful definition, so I think I’ve misunderstood you ’:-)

   First I guffawed at your temperatures, then I realized you certainly mean 88-90℃ Thats 190.4-194℉ for those more familiar with old degrees.

    Iirc the article mentioned that 555 numbers used to be reserved for internal use, so my hypothesis is that implementing external 555 numbers likely required some sort of retrofit. But I don’t have any domain knowledge here, so this is reall

    Very fun article, thanks for sharing :) I think the current title ‘You could own a 555-XXXX phone number but Verizon’s charged you $2,500 to use it’ doesn’t capture how bad the deal was —- here’s the relevant quote from the article > Ver
