What's the "online calculator license" ?

"Online calculator included (four-year subscription) •($80 value)"


Apparently just a TI-84 Evo emulator(?) that you can run in a browser for $20/year:

My guess is that they are trying to encourage people not to use the various clones and unofficial emulators available for their calculators.

Gemini seems to have a lot as well (at least through Antigravity.Google -> constant errors, not enough capacity, super slow replies until it times out, etc)

4B over 5 years is still 4B. It's 0.8B/yr


If I read it right, the 4B ballpark figure is based on total annual per employee cost of 500k * 8000 employees, so the figure is actually 4B/year. 20B over five years.


I always thought the browser, coworking space (https://hub.kagi.com/), and mail (https://kagimail.com/) are a distraction.

I've been a paying customer since 04/2022, and have the early adopter badge. I was easily doing 600-800 searches/month, and now I do 400-300 searches. I think that's the reality. More and more people are asking ChatGPT or whatever for search.


Those domains have been around since forever (also https://orionfeedback.org). I guess it was easier to just set up a new platform instead of integrating it, or building something from scratch.

I haven't checked in a while, but I'm sure there's been conversations about this on discord as well (https://help.kagi.com/kagi/support-and-community/discord-ser...). I'm too busy to read up on every little thing, so I'm glad this happens elsewhere, off-site, and I just get the big changes through my RSS feed.


NextDNS is blocking it too (https://google.c1ic.link/lottery_qrdLCz_account_verification). The reason is that Google Safe Browsing considers that site as unsafe.


TBF it ought to trigger even the simplest heuristics so it wouldn't surprise me if it was automatically categorized that way.


there's €1 and €2 VPS too: https://www.strato.nl/server/vps-linux/ (not sure what the quality is but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯)


IME strato is OK for cheap VPSes as long as you don’t have high expectations.

5-6 years ago, I remember trying to scale up to the 16/32GB tier was miserable and oversubscribed; moving to Hetzner at the same price point brought a huge performance boost (mostly on CPU and disk access speed).


Don’t want to ding strato exclusively, likely the case for most $1-$4/month type hosting.

Not bad as long as you know what you’re getting yourself into.


wow. Blocked in Belgium.

100% — will never be automated :)


Still room for someone to claim the niche of the Porsche horsepower method in outage reporting - underpromise, overdeliver.


Because you'd have a ton of downtime and they'd rather hide it if they could. :)

I used to work at a very big cloud service provider, and as the initial comment mentioned, we'd get a ton of escalations/alerts in a day, but the majority didn't necessarily warrant a status page update (only affecting X% of users, or not 'major' enough, or not having any visible public impact).

I don't really agree with that, but that was how it was. A manger would decide whether or not to update the status page, the wording was reviewed before being posted, etc. All that takes a lot of time.
