Tangent: there are some incompatible words that don't add up. So far, I found:

- Dragon + Angel

- Train + Star

- Fish + Yin Yang

- Orc + Ninja


Were these screens e-ink, wouldn't they allow for doors that are better insulated? This could yield lower power consumption, couldn't it?

On the other hand, door insulation might be insignificant if the fridge is opened often enough. Which is likely what any retailer hopes for.


Given the importance of color to branding I think e-ink is a nonstarter in it's current mass-produced form.


Colour e-ink is available for retail purchase, and the colour reproduction is passable.

The refresh time is big fractions of a minute, but that's OK for static displays.

Obviously that misses the entire point of this parasiteware, which is advertising and tracking.


That's a good point, and tbh I was aware of color e-ink but I assumed the price difference was enough to be a non-starter for a (parasiteware) company.


It seems to be the case, though: "Every account with an active subscription at the moment of the pricing change on March 15 will get the “Early adopter” status. This will make the special “Early Adopter Professional” plan available to them instead of the regular Professional plan, with the main difference being 1,000 free included searches monthly, instead of 700."

Back in September they promised this[1]:

> If such change to Individual plans is to occur, we plan to grandfather-in all early adopters (meaning all current and future paid customers, up until this change) allowing them to keep their existing subscription price as long as they don’t cancel it.

My guess is that they will focus on the "subscription _price_" wording. Technically the price didn't change, since you can still pay them $10. They "just" changed the terms.

It's unfortunate since this is not what I (most people?) think when we hear "grandfathering".

Also, why do we find this out over a blogpost. Where's the email saying "oh by the way the your subscription is changing in a drastic way"?


They sent out an email last night, to me at least


Huh, must be just me. Mine doesn't seem to be anywhere, I have the product email setting turned on, and I get their billing emails. Strange.


Mine was in spam with a pretty high spam score.


For what it's worth, as far as I understand, you actually need to activate the Zoom Controller to get the menu mentioned above.


I just tried this out. Turned on zoom, without the controller, couldn’t get the menu when three-finger double-tapping.

However, when I three-finger triple-tapped, the menu showed up.


With respect to supplements... I can relate to what you describe and I tend to think it's not just based on chemistry. That being said, on different occasions, I felt a dramatic boost when taking magnesium + zinc + B cocktail. I guess it means I was deficient in those. Who know is you aren't...


Interesting the tyranny of "you read my message and didn't reply right away" is strong enough for iOS 14 to allow to mark a message as unread. Doesn't this make the whole point of read receipts moot, actually?

I secretly hope this read-receipts feature (anti-feature?) is coming to an end. I believe read-receipts should be a per-message option or be discarded from apps. I know read-receipts can be disabled as a user choice, but most people expect them nowadays (me too, to be honest). It's that very expectation that I'm questioning and for which I suggest we should at least have a specific notion of ethics or politeness.


Thank you. In case others would wonder too: https://www.rae.es/espanol-al-dia/porque-porque-por-que-por-...


How is none of these threads about Assange extradition on the front page? I realize they can hit the top by the time I post my comment, but so far they are all buried pretty far down on best, new and newest. Have people gotten bored with this? Did the news hit in the dead time slot for the Silicon Valley?


I seem to remember this was used by emacs' mode embedding the w3m browser. It was great to read long structured documentation sites by just pressing space-bar to "scroll" through pages.


Excel for macOS is filled with awful bugs and limitations. I'm sorry I don't have a list at the top of my mind. The same goes for Word and PowerPoint.
