I want a bulletproof way to give email sub-addresses, since some websites strip out special characters like + and .. I have an idea for how it could work, let’s say my email is TheTwelveYearOld@Reddit.com and I have the following:...
Unfortunately, this seems to be the only option, besides using your own domain so that you control forwarding yourself. Basically, pay someone like Firefox Relay to do forwarding, or do your own forwarding. Firefox Relay does give you five email addresses for free, which is cool. (https://relay.firefox.com/#pricing)
I've noticed that the "+" sign trick with Gmail just doesn't work at all anymore. Anyone that wants to maliciously send you emails knows to remove what comes after the + sign, so that you can't tell which of your sub-addresses was originally used. And anyone that hacks a database to steal email addresses knows to remove it as well, to cover their tracks.
Very interesting to know, but i just looked it up and it still seems expensive in the long run. Azure's cheapest storage tier is 1 dollar per TB per month. So 5 TB of backup would cost 60 bucks a year, but a 5 TB drive costs about 120 bucks. So after 2 years of cloud backup it costs you an extra 60 bucks a year every year vs. if you just bought a hard drive.
Eigene Kinder + eigener Kleingarten + eigene Technik > 100% Auslastung. Für so etwas Banales wie einen regulären Job und Geld verdienen hab ich keine Zeit mehr. An solche persönlichen Dinge wie Freunde treffen, Sport machen oder liebe, alte Hobbys wieder angehen, wage ich ja nicht mal zu denken ...
Gibt man den Kleingarten wieder auf? Unsere Oase, wenn in Berlin wieder jeder Quadratmeter Grün belegt ist?
Oder schmeiße ich die ganze Technik - unsere Computer, Netzlaufwerke, Clouds, BackupServer, Firewalls und diesen ganzen "Mist" - einfach weg und gehe zurück auf Zettel und Stift?
... ich fürchte, die Kinder müssen arbeiten gehen. 🤔
In much of the U.S., one thinks they pay $3.52, or 352 cents per gal. (for example) for gas. But they often pay 352.9 cents per gallon.
If one buys 15 gal. of gas— They think they should pay 5,280 cents, or $52.80. However, they pay 5293.5 cents. Rounded up, that is $52.94 – 14 cents more.
They give the gas station an extra $2.10 that might not have realized they would just glancing at the price at the pump (if they fill their tank 15 times a year).
The mill (1/10 cent) is a legal U.S. #pricing standard. There is no cash (denomination) equivalent.
It remains the standard for gas stations, property tax assessments, stock issuances and power/electricity bills. Some companies, like 99-cent stores, also use fractions of a cent.
Companies use it because it boosts their revenue (bottom line).
U.S. consumers are used to fractional #pricing, especially at the gas pump.
In 2006, a California gas station owner experimented with removing the 9/10 of a cent and rounding prices DOWN to the nearest dollar per gallon.
Customers quickly reacted negatively, assuming that the owner raised the prices. Some also ‘questioned why he didn’t reduce the price by more, such as by 99 cents per gallon.’
Profits went down by~ $23 less a day (based on his 2,500 per day in gallons sold).
Have any of you first-hand experience with Pay-As-You-Want pricing in a professional training setting (either as a seller or as a buyer)? Did it work for you, and if so, why (or why not)? I‘d be very grateful for anything you‘d like to share!

If you focus on what’s not right with the app, how short it falls from perfection and your vision, then you will pick a lower price naturally to offset this.
Strange (theoretical) pricing on cellulose insulation blower rental around here. (not planning on it, just doing research on the costs). Why is renting a machine for four weeks so cheap? (Update: they missed a decimal place for sure, if you change the zip code it's $4900) #pricing#rental
Seriously - that's one of the things I do have to agree with developers and brokers:
If one can't build high-rises without literally bribing construction permit officers so hard they choke on €500 bills and have purple palms then it's just not feasible to build #AffordableHousing!
Just wanted to share my experience with notesnook as a daily note taking and information organizer app. The free tier is fairly barebones but you can use it for simple stuff, but I’ll say that the paid $50 per year tier is really nice. I’m surprised at the polish and feature set for a OSS project from 2019 but it’s also...
Your point stands, but let me point out that when gmail started their “9GB free” thing way back when, that was an unfathomable amount of storage for some of us. And gmail’s not the only service that’s offered huge amounts of free storage over the years. So yeah, I think it’s probable that a bunch of us have been primed to expect free storage.
edit: Also given how cheap cloud storage is from ie MS Azure…
Depending on storage type you pay $10-$18/mo once you’re using a full TB. If you use less, you pay proportionally less. Dropbox’s 2TB for $10 is a comparatively better deal if you use it all, but if you use 1TB or less it’s not. Which, now that I’m looking at it, probably means their business model is counting on a lot of underutilized storage caps from their subscribers.
Wow so this https://www.purple.space/ thing is a video and chat and whatever in-group thing that generates up to $20k/week when maxed out. The infrastructure is not that expensive.
But it's still a good price per week for a digital coworking spacefor each individual if you truly find peers.
Not sure I understand airline pricing. I didn’t want to pay the extra $350 for first, so booked business class instead. Then I decided I couldn’t be bothered to deal with an early flight, so I did a same day change to the later (first class) flight I had originally wanted. It tells me that because the ticket price is now $380 less than my original, so it’s issued me a partial refund. Somehow I saved $730 on the full ticket price by basically making zero attempt to commit to actually boarding a plane…😀
I've heard rumours that someone mathematically proved that there will eventually be a commercial flight where two passengers paid the same amount for their tickets.

Just got a fantastic gift from my husband :) (sh.itjust.works)
So excited to consolidate my mess of drives and get a big boost to my storage.

I get that it’s open source provided you use codium not code but I still find that interesting
