Nope. They should make money without spying on users and abusing their privacy. If they can not do it, then they should not exist, simple as that. Basic human rights should not be taken away in no case.

It's not working like that. It's your choice what you use.

It's like alcohol, people use it even they know it's bad.

Govt is spying on you, but you can't delete account with them. With fb at least you can xD

Car rental price comparision website shows EURO currency in quotes , then the car renter says only USD in cash and they convert by their own exchange - you overpay.

You have different price on reservation and different at the counter when you pick up the car key. At the time of picking up you already paid 10% fee online, so its not worth to cancel.

Thanks, that seems doable!

Edit: but not free, ugh. Understandable, but annoying to send a mail every couple of weeks

Try pay-per-message via www.smsapi.com

You will pay circa 10 cents per month if you use it once a month via pre paid

przeor commented on Ask HN: How do you measure eng team productivity?    · Posted by u/flavianh

I think, first principle is to build something that people want.

If you build this way, I feel more comfortable than building something fast, that at the end has close to zero usage.

2 - 7 eng dev teams is a small one. It means, just put people on top of things and things should develop faster than in a an average team in any corporation.

This approach/mindset might not work in corporations etc. since they want to have "reports"

przeor commented on Ask HN: Why does the HN point system penalize comments that elicit good debate?    · Posted by u/ITB
przeor · 2 years ago
Because it discourage discussion against the "crowd wisdom" of HN.

Had a lot of karma collected, then a comment with different opinion against point of view of HN wasted it.

It may be a feature, not a bug because it reinforcing the network of same minded people here, and dicourages different opinions.

As Peter Thiel tells: "Tell me something that's true, that almost nobody agrees with you on."

You won't find this on HN because signal to noise ratio is low in such discussions and you will get downvoted.

Maybe there should be option to sort from most downvoted on the top to fix in some part this issue?

I have the same issue with App Store.

Paid 5 bucks for app upfront. Now I can't download it from app store coz it's deleted from it.

I got robbed by Apple with their 30% rake on top of dev price tag.
