“I have to say that the guy raised a huge red flag for me already in the first paragraph: ‘I hit the gym, pursued the most interesting and important ideas I could find, and started looking for a wife.’ “

A healthy body, a healthy mind, and a healthy relationship are not red flags.

The guys at Palladium talk about religion as a social technology. People stuck in the “new atheism” phase will find this hard to follow.

Whether a belief is false or true is often completely irrelevant. Even if the Gods are "imaginary", their impact is most definitely real.

I'm an early user of your service, and I love it.

The only problem I have is it's too cheap!

I paid almost nothing for it years ago ($12?)

I'm worried about relying to heavily on a service that might go out of business any day.

Can you convert to a SaaS and let happy users like me support you.

Thank you for being an early user :)

We're not going out of business, don't worry - 33mail is profitable even at our current surprisingly low monthly cost :)

If you don't mind, what would you consider a fair price for the service? What features would we need to add to convert to a SaaS?

My friend is a SaaS pricing expert. She normally charges upwards of $578 USD per hour for her consulting services, but she was happy to take a look at your site for free.

Here are some of her recommendations:

* Lite should be called Free and it should be lower on the Pricing page compared to the paid plans.

* Paid plans should segment customers by value.

* Premium and Pro plans can be combined into one Premium plan for $29 per month minimum.

* Enterprise pricing should be on request ("Call Us") or $249 per month minimum.

* You should be price testing via list offers.

Thank you and your friend for the advice, we'll take a careful look at each of her recommendations.

I don't know what your conversion rate is from 'free' to 'premium' to 'pro', I'd definitely argue against these SaaS pricing 'expert' guidelines. $12/yr - $60/yr are what I like to call 'support the dev' pricing, hey I like your product and $12/yr is < less than a coffee a few times a year, $60/yr is a manageable expense for someone being a power user, $29/month is $348/yr, and while I see the benefit of your product I would never pay that for the features provided as a power user. And this is my problem with a lot of businesses they go from $0 to $15/month for their tiering, then $50/month, then "enterprise", for a product I like that I'm not using for business or something that I can't live without that's a hard sell ($10/month+).

Now the approach I might suggest would be raise premium to $2/month, if you buy for the year pay $12. Premium, $6/month, $60/yr. enterprise really depends on how an enterprise uses the product, but $50/month might be a little cheap, but again I really don't see the use case for an enterprise (>500 employees) for something like this.

What exactly does SaaS mean to you? Sounds like nothing but a buzzword to me. The website in question is already software and a service.

Thanks for asking! I’d also like to know how the emperor’s new clothes look like because I sure as hell can’t see them. Let’s all hope he actually meant an API behind a paywall.

Isn’t that just another way of saying the ITER approach is infeasible? So it’s basically a jobs program

I haven't met a fusion scientist that thinks ITER isn't going to work. Ones that don't like ITER just think there are better ways.

Compared to the world's energy costs, it's small potatoes. Fusion will be ready when the world needs it.

What about all the vending machines that take credit cards?

All vending machines taking cards in Europe are NFC rather than magstripe, so aren't vulnerable to cloned cards.

Not true. Most I know use chipped cards. Magstripe is indeed dead because it's woefully outdated and insecure, but there's more than NFC.

This is just going to start a flame war.

Not necessarily.

I was never about security. They use FOMO to create a daily habit. When you post, people see it and react quickly, which further strengthens the addiction.

Construction jobs are already very high paying jobs in New Zealand and Australia, maybe even more than software.

You should have a mailing list. I would like to be notified when my target language becomes available.

You can go to our signup page and choose "Another Language" and it goes into our waiting list. Then when we release new languages we'll likely contact you first to see if you want to be a beta user. https://chatterbug.com/signup

What makes you say that? What are some of the potential benefits?

Extreme premature births are the leading cause of infant mortality in the US. Even if the infant survives, they often have incredibly complex consequences that cause lifelong issues because, e.g. the lungs have not fully developed but are required to be used after birth.

It's possible that keeping extremely premature infants in an 'artificial uterus' could decrease some of these complications, especially those related to respiration.
