I'm glad that there was enough backlash and attention on this for a happy ending. It's disappointing they handled it so poorly from the start, especially considering how good their cs has been when I've had minor issues in t

If I had a separate mudroom I'd consider it, but having dogs makes it a no-go as it is set up. I'm surprised Amazon hasn't set up a "Amazon Locker" style box that you can get placed on your porch for deliveries. A

I got to play with the older one a few years ago. A co worker found it in his garage and gave it to me. It was fun to check out, and it freaked out my real dog, but ended up dying pretty fast. There is (or at least was) a large community

Looks like DDG recommends TunnelBear[1]. Any one have an experience with them? I'm always a bit skittish on free VPNs. https://www.tunnelbear.com/b/privacy-partners/

Wow, Seattle's been all over HN the last couple days. Not that I mind, but it's a little strange.

Like the new look quite a bit. I wish they would add a way to jump to dates though. I've been using Google calendar for several years now, and sometimes i want to look back a few years. Right now I have to click 20-30-40 times on th

Check out Charity Navigator. They are a good resource to get a little more transparency. They tend to toss up pages for large events like this as well: https://www.charitynavigator.org/index.cfm?bay=content.view&... I

I'm not sure why this is on Hacker News, but while it is here, I'd highly recommend reading some of Coates works. Regardless of if you end up agreeing with him, he does a spectacular job of making you see things from a new point
