This really takes me back to high school when everyone was writing websites like this... it was such a fun and pure time.

Well done Naya!

That’s not a gas leak.

That’s a faulty furnace that needs fixing ASAP, you should notify your landlord right away.

Carbon monoxide is caused by poor combustion.

The browser extensions still work for me with 1Password 7 and iCloud vault.

I would ensure you have the correct version installed, because they have released newer extensions that only work with the hosted version.

Mac App Store is nothing new, it was launched 10 years ago.

Ticketmaster also acquires their competition to just shut them down and fire them all. Happened to a friend of mine this year. They all lock up all the promoters into 5-10 year contracts, so they can’t leave for the competition.

They drove on an unmaintained and mostly unused segment of the Highway of Bones, called Old Summer Road.

No mention there of it supporting x86 on M1.

The more automated cars become, the more drivers will start to trust them and pay less attention - especially when it’s advertised as full self driving.

Prime example would be the Uber test driver who felt she could trust the car enough to watch a TV show on her phone, when she was supposed to be supervising it.

Plus our attention naturally just starts to wander when the talk at hand is not that engaging.

With cruise control you’re still very much the one who is driving and paying attention.

Not trying to convince you otherwise, but rather maybe explain some of the rationale for prodigy using the freemium model.

Education is a hard market to break into and build adoption of a new product. Budgets are very constrained or virtually nonexistent... in America some teachers even have to purchase classroom supplies or tools with their own wages.

With that in mind (and maybe other reasons that I do not know), Prodigy took the decision to offer their service to schools and teachers at no cost, otherwise it would’ve been much more difficult to build adoption in that market. It’s very hard to convince teachers, schools and boards to allocate budget on a new initiative, when they are already spread so thin.

Now to build a service like prodigy, it takes game artists and developers to build the game, web developers to build the website and teacher dashboards, teachers to build the prodigy math curriculum, and then all the supporting teams too; data scientists, product owners, testers, operations, etc.

They either need some sort of investment or revenue stream to make the company run; and this is where they adopted a freemium model.

That Wikipedia article repeatedly referred to it as a stone.

It’s still unmaintained. We moved to slack, so unfortunately lost the incentive to continue maintaining it.
