No per-token billing here either: "...we offer the industry’s largest allowance: 60 model requests per minute and 1,000 requests per day at no charge."

Reading this I couldn't help but imagine of an alternate universe where Gopher won out in the early 90s, but with a more flexible presentation layer. Great writeup

This summer a company well known for GA engine mods actually completed FAA approval for a 'drop in' unleaded avgas replacement: https://www.aopa.org/news-and-media/all-news/2021/july/27/ga...

It's limited to a subset of the GA engine fleet initially, but the plan is to broaden over the next year or so.

Re:The Washington State Measles Outbreak on Wednesday February 06, 2019 @11:32PM (#19103013)
I was in the Seattle Childrens ER this morning (unrelated issue with my son, hes fine) and chatted with a pediatrician about the outbreak. He said the ER has been inundated with parents bringing (unvaccinated) kids with related symptoms to rule out measles, and STILL refusing to vaccinate at that point. At a certain point public health needs to take priority. Vaccines need to be treated like any other basic norm around health/hygiene that we have societal and legal expectations around.

Right now it just supports 1:1 text chats. My plan is to do group chat next, then add support for Video/Voice.

The password isn't stored locally, I use oauth 2.0 (and also support folks with 2-factor auth enabled!)

Show HN: My first Windows 8 app, GabberWocky (a gtalk client)

I've been working on this for a few months since I got my Surface RT, and realized there wasn't a solid gtalk/gchat app. It's a C#/XAML app, and I ended up writing my own XMPP stack on-top of raw sockets since there wasn't a good open source one available (that would run in RT). I'll open source my XMPP library on GitHub shortly once I've cleaned it up a bit.Check it out!Store link: ...

Re:Ask HN: Anyone Making Money on Windows Phone 8 Apps? on Tuesday December 11, 2012 @11:26AM (#4905178)
I have a few free Windows Phone 7 apps in the marketplace. Since Windows Phone 8 shipped I've seen my download rate increase ~50%, and it seems like around 30% of my active users are running WP8. I'm not making any money with these (just fun projects for me), but its a datapoint FWIW
