There is no bait and switch and it's ridiculous to suggest there is.

They have a free product and a paid product. They've used the documentation as an awareness channel for the paid product. The paid product influences and pays for the free product. A tail as old as time.

They're not asking you to buy the paid product and they're not saying they are going to make it worse. Did you even read thread? He literally says "I totally see the value in the feature and I would like to find a way to add it."

Not prioritizing it now does not make the product worse, it just doesn't make it better in this particular way today.

How is this hard to understand?

Hey Peter! What tech (legal and non-legal) do you use?

I've almost had my laptop crushed a few times by people reclining.

I don't hate it if they're actually sleeping, but otherwise it's just frustrating to be behind someone reclining.

Is there some kind of cookie hack I can run to get the new UI? Would be nice if engineering posts included a way to change your feature flag so I can experience what is being discussed.

Thanks. I like "business applications".

I've asked a few people that I would put in the same class as my clients, and a couple clients as well, if they knew what those terms meant and nobody really knew.

2 questions:

1) Why isn't this available in Canada? All of our cars have ODBII after 96 as well.

2) Is there an estimated completion timeline? 2 months? 2 years?

After doing a simple project in it recently, I completely agree. Some day it will be, but not now.

Edit: I'm a moron. My comment is about Meteor, not Telescope.

Agreed.

People are sure piling on OP for mentioning taxes -- I think you are all interpreting his request as "Stripe, please add tax calculation" but he's only asking for an additional charges field so he can track his subscriptions + taxes instead of his subscriptions with taxes.

I love Source Code Pro - I keep my editor font size quite large (17-18px depending on the font) and the light variant of Source Code Pro is perfect for the large size.
