That's a yearly price, not monthly, so not really a high price. If a professional developer saves one hour per year with this tool it's already paid for itself.

If that developer bothers to go have their boss pay for it.

I’m not going to subscribe to something that ‘may save my ass someday’, but I would buy it for my arsenal because that someday might be a year and one day from the time of purchase

(Also: Fork has a decent interactive rebase with drag and drop and is a one time purchase. Probably not as slick as this though)

When I last looked it was free for businesses of 1 person, no Enterprise licence required. But you would still have to pay for sync if needed.

Thanks for mentioning it. You're right and it still is, but it's not obvious because the pricing summary doesn't say clearly that 1 person businesses are exempt.

> Free for personal use. We don't charge based on features or usage. Only pay if you use Obsidian commercially.

But the FAQ does:

> What is considered commercial use?*

> Commercial use means using Obsidian for revenue-generating or work-related activities within a for‑profit organization that has two or more employees. Government departments and agencies are considered commercial use, unless registered as a non-profit organization. For all other purposes, you're welcome to use Obsidian for free. Learn more.

("Learn more" leads to subtle differences from the FAQ, eg. organisations with 2 or more people rather than employees, and "work-related activities that generate revenue", but the gist is the same)

For many products there seems to be a thriving ecosystem on ebay of people taking genuine manufacturer parts, subdividing them, and reselling the smaller individual parts for consumers to use.

Energy harvesting is useful where the power need is very low and changing batteries is inconvenient and/or expensive. So it makes sense where you need to deploy a large network of low power sensors. But ordinary batteries or mains power should be the default choice for most applications.

Smart wall light switches are another place where they are beneficial (in places where you do not have the neutral)

Disney bought Pixar in 2006 and put Ed Catmull of Pixar and John Lasseter of Pixar in charge of both Disney animation and Pixar.

I am not sure what your point is? They are two very distinct and independent animation studios, which OP seemed to be aware of.

Sorry I wasn't super clear. I was replying to "the gap between Disney Animation Studios and Pixar has drastically narrowed", and commenting that the reason this happened is because from 2006 it was Pixar management in charge of Disney animation. Ed Catmull and John Lasseter brought over the lessons and management style that they had learned at Pixar and thus changed how Disney animation was run. So for instance they created a Disney "Story Trust" to provide feedback to directors in the same vein as the Pixar "Brain Trust". They also removed an oversight committee at Disney that was charged with keeping all film projects on budget, but in their view was holding back the film-making. i.e. the two studios are not as distinct and independent as it appears people are suggesting.

Ah, gotcha, thank you for clarifying. That makes much more sense and I think it is a fair correlation to draw!

IIRC Covid reduced emissions by about 7%. Then they went back up. That's big... but not as big as the 10% reductions we actually need every year

I was an early adopter of Google Search around 2000 when it was better than Altavista. A few years ago I switched to DuckDuckGo. But in the autumn my DDG searches began to have only about 10 results for terms that should have had thousands of results. A couple of months ago I started paying for Kagi search and like it because it's like Google used to be 20 years ago – it shows interesting results.

Why do I feel like this post is actually a marketing operation for kagi?
