Right. The sensible thing to do would have been to develop a migration strategy as soon as you hear words like "grandfathered" or "first-year discount".

My bad, I took the org name to be "Skyfall". Just substitue "Hack Club" for any time I mention it!

Change "Skyfall" to "Hack Club". It's a bit confusing who is who!

No - it's very clear that the people involved know details that we do not, and are withholding them for the sake of a better story. I have an axe to grind against people who use technical platforms to air mismanaged and misrepresented

"Blame" is a strong word, but I think it was a mistake to not plan a migration strategy as soon as Slack/Salesforce sent a $200k bill. Even if you have some agent telling you not to pay it, it's clear something is about

In this case, it looks like Hack Club sat on a gargantuan bill for at least weeks and maybe months (see top comment on this post). I'm not denying that what you describe happens, but in this case - ignoring the warning signs, letting t

Right - there is so much context missing. Extrapolating just a little, it looks like the story is something more like "We had too many users for our existing free plan, so we switched to a paid plan that had a first-year discount of 97

Informed of the final cut-off date, sure! How long have they had the bill mentioned in the top comment on this post? At the very least it's 3 weeks, and the comment suggests it is months.

Why did they switch? Given the information provided, it seems that paying anything, if you're on a grandfathered free plan, is a bad deal.

Skyfall have had awareness of this issue for months. If you're running a teaching service for kids, allowing this to hit the wall months later while telling the kids it's all someone else's fault is disingenuous and a poor ex

Reading between the lines in the top comment on this link, they received a bill earlier this year, and have been in communication with Slack since then. The transition away from Slack's nonprofit pricing is also a key element to this s

True enough, but I'd want to be a lot further away from a lithium fire than from a propane explosion.

by fdsfdsfdsaasd 1y ago
It would make me nervous, although that's only due to my engineering background. In any case, it all depends on what you want to stand next to. A large explosion, or a multi-day metal fire releasing clouds of hydrogen flouride.

I once did a related calculation on "How much of my garden do I need to dedicate to coppiced willow to heat my house for a week per year?" I concluded that we're all going to need much bigger gardens.

None of those release hydrogen flouride when they burn (among other things).

Compressed hydrogen is no joke. It can escape most containers, actively degrades many grades of steel, has a very low ignition energy, and will explode over an enormous range of air/fuel ratios. Definitely not something to keep anywher

That knowledge is not illegal, nor would it necessarily be illegal to write it down.

I can't belive that people have been fooled by the environmental credentials of "paper" straws.

Yes, a situation that Google is steadily fixing.

I imagine most people are using those monitors for text-based applications, which have a much lower rate of pixel change. Still - the pixel switch lifetime is currently a limitiation of eink.
26.
by fdsfdsfdsaasd 1y ago
That's about the worst use case for existing eink panels, as they have a limited number of switching cycles before the dots start to degrade.
27.
by fdsfdsfdsaasd 1y ago
For dynamic content, a higher refresh rate absolutely will lower an eink panel's lifespan. As the refresh rate increases, more of the underlying content's changes will be captured and more pixels will change state.
28.
by fdsfdsfdsaasd 1y ago
Unless you are switching every pixel with every refresh, the panel will last longer than that. However, it's still a huge limitation on its lifetime.

Waveshare specify 1 million switches per eink dot for their panels. https://files.waveshare.com/upload/4/4e/2.13inch_e-Paper_V4_... https://files.waveshare.com/upload/6/60/7.5in

That's a separate effect - eink degrades under UV. Fossil eink watches did not have enough UV filtering.
