Oh _that’s_ what paracetamol is! I’ve seen it in British shows and presumed it was some different chemical altogether! I’m one of the 700M speakers who only know it by acetaminophen.
> The decision on who wins a dispute comes down to a judgment call by the bank in which Stripe unfortunately has no role or way of influencing. We are aware of how this resolution can impact you and your business, but as much as we wish we could do more in this scenario, this is the final outcome.
What about this could Stripe have done better? Eat the cost of any disputes or fraudulent charges that the bank judges not to be fraud?
One of my recurring daydreams is that someone from a few hundred years ago is accompanying me in whatever mundane task I’m doing. When I’m driving, for example, I try to imagine what questions they’d have about what’s going on and how incredible they’d find it.
I think frequently about how European kings didn’t have the variety in spices that I do in my cabinet, or machines that could lower the temperature of a room.
Abusive? I know that HN has a very pro FOSS culture, which, with some users, seems to extend to the expectation that companies and products should exist out of the goodness of developers’ hearts. But charging willing users for an API that costs money to maintain is “abusive”?
Err, what? I don't think we've read the same thread. It's shock-full of people trying to justify this kind of behaviour, presumably in a vain effort to feel less bad about their own abuses.

Corporate shills and bootlickers seem to have this weird misconception that companies and products just naturally deserve to exist and impose themselves on society.

Ah, you had the knowledge to solve the problem using bash, but had not the wisdom to sit on the answer and surf the web until a plausible amount of time had passed :)
What makes you think that having the focus on the search box vs the code area in VSC constitutes a different mode in the same way as vim normal vs insert modes? You haven’t explained what you consider a mode to be.
I think there is something very clearly different in vim, as first time users must have it explained to them that typing `j` when their cursor is at the start of the code area will do very different things depending on the mode they’re in. It’s a paradigm not present in editors like VSCode.
This difference is usefully characterized as “modal”.
What’s your target for percentage of ancillary appointments that are accepted? I’m intrigued by the idea, but in the screenshot it shows 2 use cases that don’t make much sense to me: do most people really schedule dry cleaning around a meeting? Would I really carve out time to pick up flowers for an airport pickup?
The suggestions could be nice, but if I find myself rejecting 90%+ then they would be a hassle…
