Right. The sensible thing to do would have been to develop a migration strategy as soon as you hear words like "grandfathered" or "first-year discount".

My bad, I took the org name to be "Skyfall". Just substitue "Hack Club" for any time I mention it!

Change "Skyfall" to "Hack Club". It's a bit confusing who is who!

No - it's very clear that the people involved know details that we do not, and are withholding them for the sake of a better story. I have an axe to grind against people who use te…

"Blame" is a strong word, but I think it was a mistake to not plan a migration strategy as soon as Slack/Salesforce sent a $200k bill. Even if you have some agent telling you not t…

In this case, it looks like Hack Club sat on a gargantuan bill for at least weeks and maybe months (see top comment on this post). I'm not denying that what you describe happens, b…

Right - there is so much context missing. Extrapolating just a little, it looks like the story is something more like "We had too many users for our existing free plan, so we switc…

Informed of the final cut-off date, sure! How long have they had the bill mentioned in the top comment on this post? At the very least it's 3 weeks, and the comment suggests it is …

Why did they switch? Given the information provided, it seems that paying anything, if you're on a grandfathered free plan, is a bad deal.

How long have you had the bill alluded to in the top comment?

Skyfall have had awareness of this issue for months. If you're running a teaching service for kids, allowing this to hit the wall months later while telling the kids it's all someo…

Reading between the lines in the top comment on this link, they received a bill earlier this year, and have been in communication with Slack since then. The transition away from Sl…

True enough, but I'd want to be a lot further away from a lithium fire than from a propane explosion.

It would make me nervous, although that's only due to my engineering background. In any case, it all depends on what you want to stand next to. A large explosion, or a multi-day me…

I once did a related calculation on "How much of my garden do I need to dedicate to coppiced willow to heat my house for a week per year?" I concluded that we're all going to need …

None of those release hydrogen flouride when they burn (among other things).

Compressed hydrogen is no joke. It can escape most containers, actively degrades many grades of steel, has a very low ignition energy, and will explode over an enormous range of ai…

That knowledge is not illegal, nor would it necessarily be illegal to write it down.

I can't belive that people have been fooled by the environmental credentials of "paper" straws.

Yes, a situation that Google is steadily fixing.

I imagine most people are using those monitors for text-based applications, which have a much lower rate of pixel change. Still - the pixel switch lifetime is currently a limitiati…
