News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

Some feedback, this is just me personally - wanted more of a preview of what I'd actually be getting before signing up - reluctantly signed up after seeing you had a promo code - still don't want give up a credit card just to see what I'd be getting, I got into the dashboard after creating an account but immediately was put into checkout for a trial

Overall too much friction for me to go from landing page to giving up my credit card.

I was wondering this too. The price difference is actually $16 not $20. Shopify Lite ($9) + TinyStore ($5). It seems like a pretty narrow niche and easily killed should Shopify address the narrow gap there. I would also wonder if Shopify already has the data to be able to make the judgement call that this narrow price range doesn't have the demand.

Well the question in the title was how do you manage your logs, so people are answering.

I didn’t get that sense at all. His last bullet point is “The market should overlap with my existing audience”.

I think you're more likely to hit Netlify's limit of 125k requests per month vs the 100hr limit.

You can accomplish with something like TinyLetter (https://tinyletter.com/) or Revue (https://www.getrevue.co). Not sure why he went the slightly more difficult route of using a service like MailChimp. (which also happens to own TinyLetter)

This link is much better at talking about their plans.

I think its a sad day that we can't attempt to be intellectually curious just because its politically related. This last election has prompted me to start reading more on both sides and has lead me to some other readings such as the constitution, economic theory, history, etc.

It is possible to talk about these topics from an academic perspective and it feels like banning it for a week is equivalent to putting your head in the sand and ignoring it because its too hard to have a conversation about it. This is exactly the behavior I was motivated to try and change in myself (stick to tech only, ignore other issues).

Yes, its very difficult to talk about some politics in thoughtful ways but I would hope a community like HN has the people needed to try and address some of the issues coming up. Be it technical (detecting fake news, biases, etc) or intellectual commentary.

Whether one likes it or not, simply by visiting or looking at a site, you're agreeing to their TOS.

What do you mean you're not using their API? If you're screen scraping the content, you're still violating their terms of service.

I'd try ingesting the order history report one can create at Amazon.

Heroku customers can always clone the nodejs buildpack and simply point the npm registry at another mirror.

I think its great that this was an intern's project at Trello and he got to announce it himself on their blog. Nice to see how much ownership they give their developers and sounds like a great internship.
No, this is what computers are for. There's no reason a user should have to check if a link is a duplicate.

Thanks. I was curious since I've worked on some projects where that would be a concern.

Re:Show HN: I rewrote the Backbone.js Todo example on Friday March 15, 2013 @08:44AM (#5380248)
I like the fresh take on organizing the example but I disagree with the 2nd bullet point. Jérôme Gravel-Niquet's example encapsulates everything inside of an anonymous function and I don't see any var leakage into the global namespace.
