Interesting that "Do You Realize??" by The Flaming Lips is listed twice under Songs, but its actually two sequential 90 second clips.
Re:The upsell game – Vercel upselling tactics revealed
on Thursday April 30, 2026 @05:27PM (#47968433)
Funny timing - I was just on a call yesterday about renegotiating our enterprise Vercel contract. The Vercel employees on the call were very friendly, and did share information when prompted, BUT I came away from the call with the understanding that yep, their pricing is intentionally opaque. MIUs are 1 unit = $1, but the rate at which MIU are consumed vary by SKU. Which SKUs do you need, which are you using? Best of luck figuring that out. Cache hit? Fast Data Transfer. Cache miss? Fast Data Transfer _and_ Fast Origin Transfer, so 2x the cost.
For what its worth, they have an internal quoting tool, Copper, which we got a glimpse of on the call. This shows super detailed breakdowns of usage and pricing (for quoting, not actually for billing) and would be really useful to see...but of course they couldn't actually share that information with us.
Anyway, /rant. SaaS pricing being complex and not-exactly-user-friendly is nothing new.

The new design looks great, and I always love following Troy's updates (although sometimes with semi-morbid curiosity).
I do find the timeline to be a little confusing- it seems to be ordered from earliest breach to most recent, but the dates on the timeline don't match that, as they seem to be when the data was leaked?
Display: breach date Ordering: breach published date?
I think it might be clearer to order + display the published date, and in the cards themselves show the breach date in a standard way.

Sunnyvale does this! The "Sunnyvale Materials Recovery and Transfer Station" (SMaRT Station) is out by the bay, and there is a waste water treatment plant right next door. Methane is captured from "capped" landfills and is used to power the treatment plant. I believe the plant is nearly 100% powered by these captured gases.
Doesn't smell great over there, but it sure is interesting and pretty smart!

Watching the video, '2019.5.15 - Try 2' is interesting. You can see the car moving normally, then it starts to follow the black crack in the road and moves to the right- at this moment, the white Nissan in front is blocking the white lines ahead where the lanes actually split.
Does AP use other cars as reference points, or just the road? Ideally in this situation it would be both: "The line has disappeared, and there's a new one now, but that car went over it". Instead it seems to just be following whatever lines it can see. Does that make sense?
Note- not at all defending the AP behavior here. Just thinking out loud.

Re:Uber self-driving crash: Footage shows moment before impact [video]
on Thursday March 22, 2018 @01:52PM (#16650932)
I'm not sure how closely we should analyze this footage. Its relatively low-quality dashcam footage, and I highly doubt its representative of what the car "sees" and what a human would see in similar conditions.
That being said, Uber's LIDAR should've seen the woman in the road, right? Does the range not go beyond the lane ahead?

This is pretty similar to saying, "I don't rent cars, I just steal them." You're buying things, keeping them for <1 year, then returning them for the full value?
Even if this is allowed/legal, it isn't exactly moral.
Re:Launch HN: Sudden Coffee (YC W17) – Instant coffee that doesn't suck
on Wednesday March 22, 2017 @05:38PM (#13935247)
Honestly I'm mostly interested in the centrifugal brewing system. 85-90C doesn't seem very low to me, maybe just below my brewing range across methods (192-204). Sounds like your current method would be similar to an Aeropress.
You said you'd spent 12 hours a day pulling shots- were you using espresso for the coffee? Is this freeze dried espresso, with more water added to it (like an Americano)?
I'd truly love to know more about your brew technique and process.

I used Racket in my Programming Languages class at Cal Poly. Took a while (a long while) to get my head around it, but it ended up being pretty fun. Haven't been able to convince myself to use it after that though ;)

Every piece of available information can be used to track users. Why not just give the option to disable it? I can see valid use cases for a site knowing your battery % (e.g. having a "low power mode" on your site).

I don't see this as an "art project" as much as a fun experiment. This just shows that good producers and promoters, and having an "in" can often get you on the same level as legitimately talented musicians.
