You know what really makes no sense, the choice to use that font for the title of the article. I mean holy readability nightmare.
hastes··on Google clamps down on free storage
Hmm, I will need to do a bit more research into this.

My only concern is what exactly is the extent of "G Suite Core Services", does that apply to all existing features of Google, the entire entity itself including YouTube/etc, or just the services provided by the G Suite.

I still may do this but if it doesn't include search, YT, etc, it will be a bit disappointing knowing they are double dipping with my subscription and data.

hastes··on Google clamps down on free storage
I would be more than happy to pay for gmail, google docs, and an entire suite of google products with the absolute guarantee legally that they could not and would not either collect, or sell my information as part of that payment.

I highly doubt that would ever happen though, considering data is the new oil.

Oh well, one can dream.

hastes··on I stopped setting a financial goal for my SaaS
I meant a note taking application in general is a huge market, I should have been more clear. Think about the amount of non-tech users that still take plenty of notes with a pen and paper (my parents for example), but in their case (and mine) the notes app on Windows/macOS or pen/paper is sufficient enough.

I would assume that the use for a Markdown based (developer focused, as it seems from their landing page) editor such as this one would have a more niche market. Without conducting market research into the topic myself, I would say that his success with this product would serve as a pretty optimistic point that there is a need and use for a product like this.

I would be interested in giving it a swing, my Discord tag is Haste#0001, that is the best way to contact me.

It is a huge market, almost every single one of my colleagues uses the built in MacBook note taking app on a daily basis (as do I).

Personally I have never found the need for a markdown editor (never really liked markdown much for typing) but I can see clearly why lots of people like it.

hastes··on What Stays on Facebook and What Goes? The Social Network Cannot Answer
> Facebook is trying to decide whether it's an IRC server, or a newspaper. I think the problem is that they want to be both.

You hit the nail so hard on the head with this statement, Facebook has come to a point where it cannot just be a "traditional social network" if it wants to continue to expand within the stock market and grow globally--it needs to be THE ONE TRUE source of information, discussion, media, news, politics, small community groups, advertising.

What used to be a cool place to check on your friends, their interests, and what they are doing has turned into attempting to be a little bit of every single site so much that users "shouldn't have to" go anywhere else.

hastes··on Ask HN: Should I abandon a functioning SaaS with no paying users?
This is probably the best advice you will get, I agree heavily with the 14 day trial instead of a complete free tier--he loses out on nothing this way.

If you don't mind me asking which site did you enroll in these courses, I am extremely interested in these.
hastes··on Show HN: How We Discovered a Virus Infecting Thousands of Fortnite Players
Very awesome and interesting read, it is actually crazy how many people will fall blatantly to these sorts of malware/adware injections. Hopefully Malwarebytes at the very least stops this from happening.

Unfortunately the majority of users who fall for this are young kids.

This is one of the best reads in a long time. Awesome article and extremely interesting.

I have friends a long time ago that used to buy CoD modded lobbies from these guys. Crazy to see how their lives unfolded.
