I watched this happen in /r/TumblrInAction. Over the years it got more mean spirited and fell for more obvious trolls/satire as people less committed to the cause of disrespecting self-identity moved on. Now it's all &qu

Yep. I don't mind Ghost or Automattic charging so much for managed hosting. That also pays for development. I don't want to assume other managed hosts charging more for WordPress without doing anything more is just greed, but it

Give the name, I would say they're warming up on Ghost before they take on all of SaaS. Little do they know this kind of thing never lasts.

The subscription system, as I mentioned upthread. Making a blog is easy. Making a blog with pay gated access to posts and downloads is not. The closest equivalent is Patreon + WordPress with the Patreon plugin. I already mentioned the issue

I'd rather pay them to do it. The last time I self-hosted, it was WordPress, and the temptation to tinker was too great and distracted from the actual goal of having a blog.

Do you have any plans to offer a solo professional type plan? ~$350/year and up is quite a lot more than I can justify for what I would use this for. Something like Automattic's Premium plan ($8/month) for a managed blog with

Short version: Google is offering paid plans for people who exceed the ample free 15GB of storage. There is so much to criticize Google for, but asking for money in exchange for a service is not one of them.

Don't confuse smart for the individual with smart for the society. Of course a good social safety net would be great. We don't have it. Nothing in my short life tells me this political system or culture can produce it. I am not

>> "edit: before the downvote storm, have a look at" I'm as down on capitalism as anyone, but one of HN's very good guidelines is that you should be more thoughtful and substantive as the topic gets more divisive

All their circuitry was purpose-designed for the specific things the calculator did. That's why room light was enough to power them. Something more complicated would lose many of the benefits (tiny general purpose CPU) or be expensive

You can see this out in Northeast Metro Atlanta. People flee the perimeter to escape the things they hate about the city. Then they realize they miss what they like about the city, so that gets built, and now they move further out. Repeat.

I've watched birds land in front of me, turn their backs to me, and keep looking back. I wonder if they were assessing me as a potential threat for other birds. They do seem to let me get closer now.

HN at least caps downvotes at -4. I also rarely get an upvote unless I put some thought into my comment. The points seem to be a good reflection of quality outside a handful of hot topics. Compare this to Reddit where I often check the prof

Introversion is not a lack of social skills. Introversion is an inclination toward solitude. Social anxiety is its own thing and says nothing about social skills. Even great socializers often have social anxiety.
