> #4: They want to build trust

For my business (micro-SaaS EdTech), the value of building trust with my customers cannot be understated. Further, I don’t believe i can effectively build trust with my customers in the way the author describes; without meetings.


> The Supreme Court of the United States has recently made decisions signaling a shift in how courts will approach DEI.

Does anyone know what decisions he's referring to?


SFFA v Harvard (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Students_for_Fair_Admissions_v...) outlawed affirmative action in public institutions, but I think most legal observers assume that if someone brings a case against the same thing in private institutions to the Supreme Court, they'll outlaw it there too.


Also, 2020 California Proposition 16 failed. It would have overturned a 1996 proposition that similarly banned affirmative action in the state.


Harvard is a private institution.


Ending affirmative action, I assume


“Free”… for non-commercial use.

Is it ethical to say a software is now free for only a learning license?


It takes a bit of digging to find the definition of the index they’re using.

From their GitHub page: “The data in this repository are the percentage change in seasonally-adjusted job postings since February 1, 2020, using a seven-day trailing average.”


As a Canadian active on social media, I’ll also add that the quality of news I consume and am exposed to has dramatically increased.


user<->facebook<->otheruser is the exact OPPOSITE of end-to-end. There’s literally a middleman who can read your messages.

Theyre sooooo dishonest.


Yeah, one of the “ends” being Facebook itself. It's “legal” as in it is indeed end-to-end encrypted in the same way Cloudflare-hosted websites are, but very shitty. I always thought Facebook did this, but having some confirmation bias is very nice indeed, lol.


Nearly all the first comments express that the justification to include Rubocop with a default rule set in Rails 8 contradicts DHH's criticism of languages such as Go which have a built-in linter, therefore dictating style rules to programmers. DHH criticizes Go's approach as totalitarian while shipping Rubocop with Basecamp's rule set.

Rubocop is a linter (etc) whose rule set can be easily customized and to include it in Rails wouldn't be possible without _some_ default set of rules. DHH addresses this apparent contradiction directly, too: "Not such that I, or anyone, can mandate what style your codebase ought to be written in, but such that you can find and enforce your own." I'm reading: A linter/formatter will be included in Rails 8 with a smart default rule set, and it can be easily customized. I don't see any contradiction.

I'm highly aligned with this decision as it could help alleviate a recurring pain point at our tiny company: managing code formatters and linters in our IDE (Solargraph, Rubocop, Ruby LSP, etc). Further, I'd expect excellent documentation on how we can customize the rules to best suit our purposes, too.


“… the only technology we should be using to create web UI is JavaScript.”

Well, the Rage team certainly is opinionated!

I think you're referring to Canada's Online News Act, which would require companies to pay news outlets for the content they share or repurpose. I'm a Canadian familiar with this story, and Google's opposition to it.

It surprise me if Google would limit Bard in Canada because of the Online News Act. Wouldn't the importance of driving adoption of Bard be much larger than the impact of having to remove Canadian news?


It is most certainly not about news content - for which they already have arrangements - but links to news articles.

Hence they call it the link tax, but that is not really apt as the money mostly goes to rogers and bell, not taxpayers.


Pricing page: “(actually) simple pricing”.

Also: More than 5000 contacts, “CONTACT US”.


Had the same question. Moved to useplunk afterwards.


Yep all pricing is available when you click “view all pricing tiers” on the primary highlighted card.

Sorry that wasn’t more clear!


Why not just make it $x amount per email? Way simpler imho. This whole contact stuff feels very nickle and dimey.


yah sorry, there is a button there "view all pricing plans" that will get you up to 100k contacts.
