Windows will maintain its user base until schools adopt a different OS. Until that happens, Linux will keep growing into the single digits.

I've used their CDN for the past 4 years. Their pricing is extremely competitive (cheap) compared to everyone else.

Could NVIDIA be in hot water if it's proven they sold restricted hardware to Chinese companies?

Show HN: Dropnread – Prepare your codebase for LLMs with a simple drag and drop

Posted by yani on Sunday December 15, 2024 @03:23AM
from the show-hn dept.

https://dropnread.io/

I built this tool because I found myself constantly needing to share codebases with LLMs for analysis, and manually copying files was tedious. The tool strips comments to save tokens, and excludes irrelevant files like node_modules, .git and so on. Just drag a project folder, and it combines all files into a single text that fits within your chosen LLM's token limit.Features:- Support for...

Re:PayPal’s updated acceptable use policy [pdf] on Monday October 03, 2022 @12:42AM (#33063548)
> So if Transferwise and PayPal are equally bad, you might still want to give your business to the smaller company?

Actually, it is not that straightforward. One should check what kind of customer service is available, where are they located, who has access to the account and information and yada yada yada.

PayPal is a much safer choice than Wise in this aspect.

Re:PayPal’s updated acceptable use policy [pdf] on Sunday October 02, 2022 @11:51PM (#33063296)
The services mentioned have more or less the same terms of use policies. Can (Transfer)Wise lock your account? Yes Can (Transfer)Wise keep your money for 6 months? Yes Can (Transfer)Wise take money from you due to damages? Yes Also, if you want to dig deeper, look up where/who is doing their customer support, who has access to your financial records, and who makes decisions to approve measures against you. My personal experience with (Transfer)Wise - an intern with 6 months of experience (according to their LinkedIn) locked my personal account together with 4 business accounts. Why? Lack of training and a bad day at work/home.

I've seen plenty of stores selling stolen merchandise and pirated goods via PayPal so these terms of use make a lot of sense to me.

Re:Stripe down for 4 hours (and counting) for all those with Stripe Ta... on Monday August 22, 2022 @06:48PM (#32558290)
The issue started 5h47m ago for us. The Stripe status page is unreliable like everyone's else status page. The Stripe API returns "An unknown error occurred". The only source of information has been Twitter but it is not very credible - 3 hours ago, Stripe tweeted that the issue has been fixed just to find an avalanche of counter replies.

The issue with expanding the screenshots on mobile needs to be addressed I think there is room to charge more. I would price it as annual subscription at $29-$59 per PC. The current price of $5 makes it look cheap and toy software. Sign executables and install ssl certificate on the website - you are missing on a large number of early adopters if you skip it.

To me, the voice did not match the way characters were moving. It seemed very unnatural and not polished. Quite a big diff in sync between audio and video on my end.

Re:Show HN: Gumroad Analytics on Steroids on Wednesday November 11, 2020 @12:50PM (#25060740)
No, imo $99/month is extremely high. I pay Google $40 and Slack the same. They do a lot more data crunching and traffic. To get me as a customer, I need yearly payment that is not based on my profits. I am willing to pay anything below $240/year

2 years ago I tried Intercom too, to discover their prices. They were charging me more than Google App, Slack, and AWS combined. Very disappointed and I told them back then. It is still the same 2 years later.
