Some of these seem a bit obscure. I wish the author had given detailed examples or linked to pages with details on the points.

What exactly is “builds minutes”? I looked at the FAQ and Docs but couldn’t find what it means. Are there static sites where the build process consumes, in total, 5000 minutes (in the paid plans)? How often are these sites being updated?

A few days ago I saw some people criticizing Dwarkesh’s explanation of the HuggingFace hack by OpenAI’s AI agents. Their point was that by anthropomorphizing the AI agents, accountability of and blame on OpenAI’s poor practices are being ig

AFAIK, from reading the annual reports years ago, this nice sum of money belongs to Mozilla Foundation, the non-profit that works on making a better web. Mozilla Corporation, the for-profit entity that makes Firefox, doesn’t seem to have as

But Signal requires a working phone number for registration and it knows the phone number. The backend could be modified at any time to store this somewhere else while maintaining end to end encryption between the two parties communicating

I don’t see any pricing changes on this page. It’s not a blog post announcing a change. I’ve seen Fastmail’s pricing in different currencies for sometime now. So what exactly is new here? Related: I’ve always felt that Fastmail is quite exp

The issue with mxroute is that it's run by one person, AFAIK. Of course, you can always move with a custom domain, but I'd rather have a team of people involved to manage risks better. Migadu (which I'm not a customer of) pro

Same here. I don't want a custom domain for certain things, and Posteo (posteo.de) was good. Posteo increased the mailbox storage to 4 GB recently and the default number of free aliases too. I'm satisfied that it's run by a t

This has been the case even before AI. One can never keep up with everything and catch every interesting or useful story. What I’ve been doing for several years is to use hckrnews.com as my default first level filter. I rarely go to the HN

I clearly remember many years ago that this wasn’t the case with Gmail, when looking for the source IP address in a case involving harassment of a person. I could only get Gmail’s own IP address in the headers from the multiple emails I exa

Not for me. I don’t even remember when (or since how many years ago) I turned off Protect My Email and turned on both Hide IP Address and Block All Remote Content. I still have these toggles as they are, despite the fact that I use beta rel

I think it would be uncharacteristic of Apple to raise prices anytime from now till new products are announced in September. It doesn’t match Apple’s brand image (like the author says). As pointed in another post by John Gruber, Apple kept
