Oh, I should have specified this. I didn't change the price for any existing customers. I just changed the price for new customers.

Yep. I think PR can be effective but you really need to pay a lot for it. At the higher rates, PR people have connections they can leverage.

I emailed some reporters a while ago. Found articles about similar apps and then got their emails. I didn’t email them anything pre-made. I don’t think reputable tech blogs would want pre-made posts but I could be wrong.

Yep, it feels totally worth it. The product is something that I wanted to use myself and I use it just about every day, so just that makes it worth it.

At the time, when a user submits to PH it shows somewhere for all of their followers. So if they have a large following, it helps. Think it still works the same but not sure.

Hey HN,

Finally quit freelancing during the pandemic to work on my side project full-time!

Bookmark OS uses Mac / Windows inspired UI as a solution for organizing your digital life (bookmarks, notes, to-dos, and files).

GUIs like Mac and Windows have been the market leaders for organizing your files for decades so it made sense to me to draw from them for online organization as well.

There is just a web app right now, but the web app is fully responsive.

Anyway. Hope you guys find this useful.

I wonder how this will hurt general product innovation in the long wrong? Seems like it could have a trickle down effect of diminishing companies money for research and development to come up with new products that benefit consumers.

Ah early web development nostalgia.

One thing though is I don't think Hasbro bought just Death Row Records. They bought the parent company that owned Death Row Records among other record labels.

I'm kinda bummed Starlink is not going to lead to cheaper consumer internet and replace cable internet. Sounds like it is mainly for rural areas which is great but I hoped it was going to bunny hop fiber.

I agree, React/Angular front ends always seem slow and clunky to me.

I haven't done the math but my guess would be the maintenance costs would be pretty high over time and as energy costs drop, drones could be feasible.

I gathered the same thing. Basically the gist is, if we can develop a cheap, fast, and effective test for COVID-19 then we can test everywhere and re-open everything.

You can create underground caverns in salt using water drilling. That's how the US stores its oil reserves.

But you don't marry the first person you meet on Tinder. You go on dates with the person. I would imagine you can go on "dates" with potential cofounders as well.

How do you find freelance opportunities in the Bay Area?

I was on a laptop/desktop.

Seems like the negative effects on companies could be longer than 6 months.

This is cool! One small UI recommendation would be to make the pagination (1 of 92) in the bottom right bigger and more prominent. I almost couldn't find it.

Can someone tell me what the most educational part of this post was? I couldn't seem to find one interesting takeaway.

Is this the biography you read? https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00317G7K6

Wow, didn't know polar bears could go that deep.

Netflix and Uber make revenue but are not profitable. Not sure about Roku and Spotify

References to the exact online source would be useful.

I've never heard this before and in fact have only heard the opposite.

I really hope the SpaceX satellite internet works.

I agree. I'm not going to sign up without seeing a sample.

I wonder if creating content using machine learning is one of the reasons Google has tweaked their algorithm to take into consideration content user engagement (such as time on page). Basically using real human intelligence to avoid ranking fake AI generated content.

That's exactly what I'm wondering. I returned a recent 2019 MBP because it was getting so hot just after an hour of normal usage.
