Re:Ask HN: Which domain registrar do you recommend? on Friday September 18, 2020 @03:46AM (#24514046)
Ranking the domain providers I've used: 1. Google Domains (Simple and easy) 2. Namecheap (Pretty decent) 3. Gandi.net. Perfectly fine. 4. Godaddy (cheap/ubiqutous, a bit of a hassle) 5. Oneandone. Spammed me constantly.
Re:Google, nobody asked for a new Blogger interface on Wednesday September 16, 2020 @11:17PM (#24500833)
I'm shocked Blogger made any changes at all. Always assumed they were in maintainance mode. I'm really curious how many people are still on the blogger team at Google.

Can confirm. Apple has replaced (for free, to their credit) at least two, maybe three airpods for me for this issue.
There has to be some room for negotiation at scale, given that Shopify Payments offers lower base rates, and Stripe powers their payments.
I appreciate that. My particular beef with the enterprise negotiation experience was that Stripe lists a specific number after which they're open to negotiating and when we'd far exceeded that number (with minimal fraud risk due to the nature of our business), their answer was "You have too many Amex customers, but aren't you happy you're grandfathered into x, y, and z feature we now charge extra for [which we don't even use]".

Then shortly after, Stripe raised pricing on a model I'd just been told was grandfathered in.

I appreciate the security and the clarity on this issue. I only wish you didn't sneak in a pricing increase for long-standing users a few months ago, and I wish Stripe was more honest about its enterprise pricing.
Essentialy zero isn't Zero at Amazon scale (or the scale of any large business)
Obviously anecdotal, but when I toured an Amazon fulfillment center there were plenty of bathrooms and no shortage of workers using them...
Scaramucci was his comms director. Big difference. The position of press secretary is one of the most important in the West Wing (It's been diminished a bit in recent years, but there is absolutely a policy component).

Let me know if you have any questions. Happy to answer them - Michael - curator of Morning Short
Interesting. I don't think that's really for me, because I'm a bit of a control freak in terms of design.

Ask HN: What are the best email-marketing tools besides mailchimp?

Context: I've been using Mailchimp for years, but it's starting to feel stale, overpriced, and underfeatured.I've looked at a lot of the big email providers (Aweber, CampaignMonitor, etc.), but they all seem to have many of the same issues, so I'm looking for new, lesser-known alternatives I might like.

If Facebook posts were eligible for Pulitzers, this would win. This is so incredibly thought-provoking, well-written, and well-constructed.
