As a stealth model, it was priced as $1.25M in / $10M out

Right now, it seems free when you are a Cursor Pro user, but I'd love more clarity on how much it will cost (I can't believe it'll be unlimited usage for subscribers)

Has the API rollout started? It's not available in our org, even if we've been verified for a few months

EDIT: It's out now

I joined a project last year which uses Konva inside an Angular application. It was my first time doing any kind of canvas programming, but the ergonomics of konva can be picked up quite rapidly and I've been enjoying quite a lot.

We're working on performance-sensitive project, so one lesson we learned is that all shapes listen to all mouse events by default. We didn't even have lots of shapes, but this was enough to have a noticeable performance hit due to all the event handlers being registered. We pivoted to an opt-in approach instead and that fixed most of our problems.

An important point in the story: while she was contacted by the scammers when she was still married, it is after the divorce that she received most of the money that was eventually scammed - over €700k

For me, Spotify on Mobile has a sleep timer functionality and one of the options of "End of episode". I do have premium so cannot confirm if it exists on the free tier.

I don't have any hard info, but here's my speculation:

The Spotify most people know (finding and playing songs, creating playlists, recommendations), which obviously very important, is probably a tiny fraction of the complexity for the company.

I would wager the vast majority of the employees at Spotify are working on everything else needed to enable the above. The artists portal, analytics and royalties, paying the labels, paying the artists, legal for every country, etc.

Someone who knows could probably elaborate more than me on everything needed to run a company like that.

Does that require 8000 people? Debatable, but it's certainly more complex than clicking a song and playing it.

EDIT: A quick glimpse at job listing for Spotify on LinkedIn shows:

* Client Partner in India

* Business Operations in Nigeria

* Creator Partner Manager in Mexico

* Artist & Partnerships Manager in Egypt

* NLP Research Scientist in the USA

* Director of Sales in Singapore

Quick look at the network tab shows two network requests, they are launched in parallel and take 250ms on my end.

The stunning part is one of these is to get a string of text that is displayed in a banner that is only visible if you scroll in the menu (like, at the very bottom). You could easily defer this call to happen once the menu is open and have 0 impact on the UX.

The other call, I have no idea what it does, but is launched both when you open and close the menu.
