Thanks! Clearly my HN markdown game could use some tightening. It looked good on entry…

The other way of looking at this is via 3 groups in the US:

1) the bottom 90%, 2) the next 9.9%, 3) the top 0.1%

This thinking was informed by: https://amp.theatlantic.com/amp/article/559130/

Law should be adjusted to say: any “defaulted on” fees should be rolled in.

Huge proponent of “the price you see is the price you pay”.

2 striking things: 1) the level of sealing and waterproofing is pretty incredible 2) a consumer’s trust that #1 holds true of the high wattage system…

IMHO, this “capability” speaks to the level of engineering excellence of this company/product.

It’s a typical non-disclosed denominator issue.

I would bet you $100 Delta offered that and more.

Guessing you're a non-EV owner.

I've owned a Tesla for the last 6 months. Here's my experience:

* It charges at home, begining the charge at 12:30AM just after the rates drop. It charges to ~240 miles of range.

* For the 4 days I've wanted to go futher, charged upto 100% and that solved my problem 2 of the 4.

* Other 2 days, I stopped at a charger along my way on a road trip. there was a place to grab food and take a walk. 25 minutes later on was back on the road. No biggie. -- I don't need or want a swapable battery. Rather have a better engineered car that doesn't have this engineering requirement.

I'd assume 99% of Tesla owners would agree.

Just another reason why you need to “google” something first, instead of copy/pasting or typing url.

Along with FLoC, a continued march towards Google’s interest, not your interests.

A customer perspective from a mid-stage CFO: I like saving money, but prefer to pay for software solutions like this directly. I pay you, and you make sure this set of connectors {in and out} continues to durably work. Meanwhile, our engineers can focus on building our product.

Where’s FB’s conviction in their decisions on this?

Guessing it was in response to their request to do so.

How did you come to this conclusion?

I believe in consequences, but I am neither a professional educator nor a veteran of any armed forces. I would defer to the head of this institution to arrive at an appropriate decision.

This reserve is California State Owned.

If it was owned by the city, restricting access would be different.

^^^^Appears incorrect. It’s city owned! Thanks for digging!!

Amazing list. Wish you could sort by search rank order.

I can only imagine a guy like larry ellison reacting to this article.

Or is it $8/year for several years? The question is what is Snowflake’s net-churn rate.

It’s my understanding that you can go to jail for HIPAA related breaches.

Was hoping someone at least bid a prime number. Sadly, $437 is also divisible by 19 and 23

furlough = leave without pay, often company continues paying for benefits. Sometimes for indefinite period of time.

lay-off = terminating employment relationship.

A close family member died of Parkinson’s. It’s an awful way to go, especially if you get it young. Godspeed.

Before posting this, did you give them this feedback directly?

In addition to right to repair, couldn’t the military contract based durability / SLA standards?

I wonder what % of robocalls are run on Twilio. My sense is a non-insignificant #

This is an email I just sent internally:

XXXX,

Yeah....We need to have a conversation and push back on them-

IMHO, Segments pricing starts breaking down as company's scale because of a couple factors, that generally allow people to push back.

Some of these reasons (that I know of...and I'm sure you know better), are:

1. Google tag manager is free

2. Many services, like Marketo, don't allow Segment to use their universal javascript widget...so you end up using Segment as a tag manager to push that provider's proprietary widget...reducing the value of Segment. In fact, if you look at the "www." side of our website, we could directly instrument 2 sdk's and remove segment (so net +1 javascript library) and dump segment all together. This would also significantly reduce the unique people count...how they bill!

3. We'll soon have a full-time front engineer focused on the website...So it's not very painful to instrument a new sdk, or add a shared cookie between sdk's.

4. There are options that are really good at moving log files (e.g., fluentd.org) for server side logging. It's how the big boys move log files :)

5. According to google analytics...we're at XX,XXX across webapp + www, so not sure why they are saying YYY,YYY

I realize there's value in Segment, but we can push back on pricing increases.

One last thing, allowing us access to our historic pricing, with no additional functionality, doesn't seem like a big give...especially as pricing usually reduces as you scale. So I am very skeptical of this "new pricing" line of reasoning they are trying to pull!

Looking forward to talking to them ~N

Intercom is a shadow CRM that tries to do everything but ultimately fails to do anything well.

IMHO, Intercom has excellent fit for early stage go-to-markets, but gets ripped out by specialized tools, purpose built and sold to line function (marketing, sales, support, etc)
