I just noticed it today, 241 days after I created my account, and probably more than a year since I started reading HN.

Does anyone know the history behind "this"? Is there any other language that uses "this" to denote "current context"?

I am not disagreeing with what you say, but "charged" as it was used in the GP comment, it might have lead someone to believe that VULTR charge for usage per month.

Yep, it is insane if you only had 1 $5 instance. Maybe a bug in their billing software or something...

How many instances did you have at the time you received the email? Usually, when I receive an email like this, the amount is equal to the monthly bill of the instances I have active at the moment.

Yeah, the recent news are really worrying. You should switch to your own domain and a different provider for any email that you care about.

The sad part is that people were warning about FB years before that only to be mocked. Pretty much the same way people are warning about Google today but get ignored. Pleas stop using FB and restrict the amount of Google services you use.

See my reply to the other thread. 1. If it is not ready for prime time, maybe we should stop promoting it? 2. React was 0.14 up to a year or so ago. The number doesn't mean anything.
