Wow, I didn't know you could use Spotlight to do calculations! Thank you! For anyone on macOS who doesn't know, hit command + spacebar.

It's okay to read articles that you don't completely agree with.

They are actually automatically archiving unsubscribed emails to keep free users under the limit. > You can remain a free user so long as you have 2,000 or fewer contacts in your audience, and you’ll now have the new free plan features.

It sounds strange to consider if you "should have to" when buying something. I wanted the previous model macbook pro, so I bought one and I didn't really care what behavior I was encouraging.

Yeah, it's pretty upsetting to see the lack of compassion in here. I think it is just harder for some to imagine real people on the other side of HN comments (or any online comments). If we were all in a room talking to each other, ins

Failing at something doesn't make a person a failure or else we would all be failures. Do you really thing extra compassion towards a person contemplating suicide is such a bad thing? Or is being 100% correct in your words more importa

Surely it couldn't hurt, right? I could argue that you calling his words empty and insincere could hurt more.

More plastic than a super market does? And can you not just recycle the plastic containers? If the world switched to services like Blue Apron/Hello Fresh/etc. rather than shopping in super markets, I wonder if we would overall pro

I would guess that the intention of the feature was not just to give users results quicker, but to also make them feel as if Google search is very fast. So it may have been effective even if you didn't click any links.

I agree with you, but I still think they could benefit from at least having an app that loads their website. Craigslist is represented in app-stores by unofficial 3rd party apps that aren't very good. Users may have bad experiences wit

Why doesn't Craigslist have mobile apps?

There may be notable services missing, but I wouldn't say it is an oversight. It seems the most popular or well-known services are covered and not all of them have referral links. Sure, there is room for improvement, but it seems to me

"Terrible" is pretty harsh and there are wet-erase markers that don't smudge. You can come up with holes for any product. I think this is pretty clever and I bet people will buy it.

Oh, interesting. I remember reading an article [0] when it came out that mentioned that the integration was only visible on devices with Uber installed. Unless the parent was referring to a different ad? [0] - https://techcrunch.

I have found there to be some common misconceptions about how tax brackets work, at least in the US. I'm not sure if this is how it works in your country and you might already be aware of this, but just in case it is helpful to anyone.

Out of curiosity, how are you propagating the IDs to other systems in the cluster? I am building something which could benefit from pushing config data across a cluster.
