  • As a long time relay user but not an Apollo user, my impression from reading all the drama of early June was Apollo had a lot more features than I had seen before, and that was what set it apart from other clients. More features means more API calls, generally.

    As an example, I had relay poll for PM once an hour, but I remember seeing Apollo was doing it every few minutes or maybe alongside thread views so notifications were more immediate. The user experience would be better but at the expense of far more API hits.

  • There's two of us! Really the minority in this thread. For me there was no guide so i was extremely confused at first. Then I found it interfered with one of my most used apps that featured similar gestures so I turned it off and never went back.

  • Wow. I read through most of the pages. What a convoluted system! Besides several new terms that are interdependent and poorly defined, this scheme is going to be impossibly opaque to users and orders of magnitude more complex than upvote/downvote. I especially don't like that points are directly related to karma, when karma whoring and botting are prevalent. Last thing we need is karma earning one some measure of influence or control in a community.

    They clearly think this is something people will simply get used to should they not enthusiastically embrace it. Why they think that in an era of other platforms dumbing down interaction to nothing more than an upvote I can't wrap my head around.

    What a colossal waste of resources. Thankfully it appears to be opt in by sub for now, though I doubt that will last.

  • Edge uses pieces of Chrome, so it will probably have the same WEI stuff unless MS chooses to remove it. Given the goals of MS probably aligns more closely with Google than other browser makers I think it's likely edge will have WEI.

  • It's different. Instead of grouped tabs that expand within the same row of tabs, tab stacks show the group in a second row of tabs. Works great if you have a lot of tabs that tend to shrink in width to much to be usable.

  • FYI, Vivaldi posted their opposition to WEI here. If website operators use the scheme then browsers not implementing it are at a loss. Hopefully every chrome based project (including edge!) is able to remove it so Chrome official is the only one where it works. Starving the approach of participants sounds like the only easy to make it fail.

  • usually a percentage of the amount this of the sale.

    It's usually a percentage plus a fixed amount. Rewards cards and AMEX and Discover can be significantly higher than your bog standard bank account card.

    Here's Squares rates, which flatten out all the variables to these standard fees. Traditional merchant credit card processing services pass on the exact charges based on the type of card, issuer, and entry method. I think AMEX was 3.5%+.

    The Square standard processing fee is 2.6% + 10¢ for contactless payments, swiped or inserted chip cards, and swiped magstripe cards. Payments that are manually keyed-in, processed using Card on File, or manually entered using Virtual Terminal have a 3.5% + 15¢ fee. Invoices cost from 2.9% + 30¢.

  • It means you're supposed to have a visceral, emotional reaction that caused you to click to learn more and give them ad revenue.

    I wish this junk wasn't commonplace but it must have been proven to work with how often it is used.

  • The two models you linked have an estimated annual energy cost of $489 and $119. That's roughly $40 a month vs $10. This would mean you'd come out ahead in total cost over the lifetime of the unit -- parts + install + bills -- at 4 years and 2 months.

    Obviously every situation is different, but calculating at an aggregate level and using that math to dismiss the idea wholesale is disingenuous at best.
