Like GP, I despise the new design. I'll say the old design was pretty peak design. Windows looked like windows. Buttons like buttons. With accessibility tweaks (for transparency and borders) I could make it very, very usable.
This new thing is a crime against UI. Every icon now sits in a circle, and takes up % more room as a result. Because … it's pretty? It isn't pretty.
I upgraded my laptop thinking I was going to develop an app and that I'd need to be on the latest design. I ended up developing a TUI so I needn't have bothered. Every time I see my partner's laptop, still on Sequoia, I shed a little tear.
Citation needed.
I forgot about my other Airbnb experience. The place was mediocre, I rated it so. The guy called me and offered me money, just cold hard cash, to change my review. I refused.
Which, of course it is. There's a reason we're going back there, again, next week.
On leaving, the host offered us a discount on future bookings if we left a 5-star review. This 'beg for a 5-star' practice is common in every Asian business. We got it from a Hilton in Vietnam. (It's probably global. Our recent experience happens to be in Asia.)
In fairness, hotel ratings are the same. My SOP now is to ignore all 5-star ratings. Simply don't read them. Instead, sort by lowest and that gives you the true measure of a place.
Ratings are totally broken.
I know that, because I saw your HN post.
A drive-by visitor doesn't. They see the AI copy, think 'slop', and keep going.
It's fine to use AI to create the product – but please, for the love of god, write your own copy. When someone can't be bothered writing their own landing page, I assume they're just not that bothered about the product.
I run Tailscale on all my devices, all the time. This particular VPS isn't exposed on any public ports. This is better for everything, and saves me – not a Linux sysadmin by trade – a ton of time.
As a result, I get the very convenient and fast `tailscale file cp` command for free. You're telling me that the minuscule number of extra cycles it takes over `scp` is a "waste of resources"? Have a look at yourself.
Might not be faster, but I don't care. It always completes without me having to retry it.
But it's objectively true that if the market crashes tomorrow, lots of normal people lose money. This hits extra hard – which happened back in 2007/8 – if that's the day your life-long savings are converted from stocks to cash.
Are you arguing that because those pensioners can now get a frontier model cheaper than they can today that this is a net benefit?
1. Start the operation in a browser, inspect it, copy as cURL, cancel it.
2. Login to VPS, paste cURL appending `-o <filename>`.
3. When finished, `tailscale file cp <filename> <machine>:`.
A bit of a faff, but 100% reliable.
So the answer to your question is one of these, depending on your personal viewpoint.
1. Obviously it's blatant theft.
2. "Information should be free."
(My glibness stems from the fact that this has surely been litigated to death by now.)

Either the plumber is replaced, or they aren't. I contest that they aren't.
What is it that you are doing with tomatoes today? Store that locally. Sounds like you're cooking. I put those here, then I can find them again really easily.

`cd` to a folder. Launch `claude`. Do your work. Save scripts and documentation in that folder. `/resume` previous conversations from that folder.
That's it. That's the trick.
Now, having very static, very well-defined folders helps a lot. I'm Johnny.Decimal so I have numbered folders for everything I do. So my process when I want to use my 'process a travel booking from my email to my calendar' script is:
- `jd tripsy`
- The folder name includes 'tripsy' and this is how I remember it.
- `jd` just parses my limited tree and `cd`s me to a folder.
- `jd 21.15` gets me there by number if preferred.
- Say 'hey Claude, there's a new email in my inbox please'.
- Done.
I know the thing was written by an AI. That's cool: I do the same myself. They're better at code than we are.
But the product is the thing I'm buying. It's the reason I would consider giving you $50/month rather than getting Claude to knock me up my own version. If I don't think you care about the product enough to explain it in your own words, why on earth would I ever give you money?
(Not a personal attack. I feel this way about every new site and it seems like you're interested in feedback. I wish you all the best.)
A manager of a service may not declare their own service a Sev 2. If they can, your incident management process is broken.
Of course they're mercilessly mocking you instead, but hey.
The reason for that? It's obvious that flossing is going to help. Obviously brushing away cruft is better than not. So why waste the money on a boring study?
I can see the same for the electric toothbrush argument. Of course it's going to be at least as good if not incrementally better than me see-sawing my way around my mouth.
> the single biggest thing that makes a difference is brushing for the full 2 minutes, and electric toothbrushes can help with that by having a built-in timer
As someone who had toothbrushes for the longest time with a single 2 minute timer, and now has one with 4× 30s timers, I can say that the difference is radical.
I don't understand how I got bored in 2 minutes but I don't get bored in 4×30s, but I do not. Every quadrant gets the full time, and twice a day I do it for the full 2 minutes, no exceptions. That wasn't the case before.
Apple Passwords will store a user/pass combo for a site. That's it, feature list over.
1Password will let you configure how those things autofill, it provides an `op` CLI that you can use with service account tokens, you can store stuff like photos of your passports and licences, it understands 'Sign in with GitHub', it has per-user access per vault for shared accounts, you can add any number of extra fields to each entry, it integrates directly with Claude, it monitors your passwords against Haveibeenpwned, it'll tell you where you could be using 2FA and aren't … and the list goes on.
This is the exact problem with smartphones.
