  Firstly financial institutions have to inform both regulators and customers about any maintenance. If they don't inform, they could have fines or get sued. 8 hour maintenance doesn't mean 8 hour downtime. All other tech services including AWS, Gmail, etc can have downtimes and not answerable to anyone. No AWS customer ever got any compensation when it went down. Next is most critical financial transactions work through the maintenance (most monetary txns). Even most web or mobile applications work too with concurrency and parallel leg deployment. Lastly, FI have a balance between cost and modernity. They don't need to have every shiny new toy in the market. 50 year old mainframes work perfectly well with just peripheral API stack instead of wholesale cloud migration.

  Almanac. YC S26. Own computer. Text it work; it texts when it's done. Slack and iMessage. A wiki it reads before it acts. Pauses at login, payment, or a decision it should not make alone. 7-day trial on all plans. Opened HN stamp: 19 hours ago on September 1, 55 points, 47 comments. Product Hunt: launched this week, 211 followers, 3.0 from 1 review. No rank on that page. No dollars on the homepage I opened. I did not connect Gmail. Not Runway's agent. Would you text a computer work, or keep a tab open to watch it?

  @CMDRVALTHOR I got rid of my Gmail account and they DELETED more than half of my phone numbers in my I phone. go back to the good ole fashioned way and write down the numbers you want. For me, I don't care. I got rid of most of my past in the last 8 years so it was no big deal. google=evil

  Gave Grok Bot a real assignment: run parts of my business like an actual employee, not a chatbot answering questions. First mistake, immediately corrected. I almost had it spin up its own Gmail account — Google's already catching and disabling Gmail accounts created by agents like this. Switched to AgentMail instead, since it's already a listed plugin in Grok Bot's browser. OAuth, three minutes, 24 email tools live and working. For payments, Stripe has a live MCP server — the agent can create customers, issue invoices, run transactions, all through plain language, no custom integration built by hand. Before any of it touched something real, I wrote the rules first. What it's allowed to read. What it's allowed to send. What it's allowed to spend, and the exact caps. What needs my approval before it happens. One command that shuts the whole thing down if I need it gone. Passport first. Rules second. Never the other order. The mistake almost everyone makes isn't giving an agent too much access. It's giving it access before the rules exist to contain it.

  what I did to troubleshoot the fact that there is no @Mailchimp connector yet and I didn’t wanna set up an API or an MCP I just connected it to the associated Gmail and I gave it the instruction that throughout the month. I’m gonna send photos information and recap on events we have with the title “month, Year MailChimp newsletter” so at the end of the month it can review all the stuff I’ve sent it to put together in this email and then it can also review the previous months email to cross-reference and check for other items that are relevant to add to the email… so I can just dump all the content in my Gmail inbox and it can work and its own computer and MailChimp after I login. 🎉

  Nvm YouTube link is broken, so guess that means it’s not ‘contact us’ anymore..but ‘contact me’ now Meaning that email from that Gmail account wasn’t her saying all that. She also doesn’t talk like how the email was written either, so it’s more to show someone else still won’t let go of her

  @rahulvohra @Superhuman thanks for the quick response, Rahul! here’s some constructive feedback: ↳ the double nav is the biggest issue. ↳ i switch sections constantly and keep opening calendar by accident. ↳ i never use calendar, so it shouldn’t be in the primary nav. ↳ search feels redundant since swipe already worked. ↳ the smaller menu icons/text make things like “sent” harder to find. ↳ multiple calendars per one inbox feels like the wrong hierarchy. ↳ the old ui felt calm and focused. this feels much closer to gmail, the reason i switched to superhuman in the first place. i’ve been a customer for 5 years and hope you’ll reconsider these changes.

  @specialkdelslay I'm not quite sure what GCP defines as a vCPU, but I DO know how a vCPU in EC2 is defined and I would almost certainly bet they're either identically defined or very similar. It's probable that a "vCPU" is a hyperthread (or in non-intel parlance, an SMT thread, or just a thread). I would highly suspect D.O. oversubscribes their customers (probably not to 2 or 3x physical threads), but probably 1.5x. This is an educated guess, but without seeing how they define it, and knowing EXACTLY how EC2 does it, the way you get "faster" vCPUs is a very small number of ways: 1. dedicate a single hyperthread per customer and only over-subscribe the micro-series instance types (t-series in EC2). These dedicated hyperthreads are on the same physical core on a "medium" instance type, so you get one dedicated pCPU with 2 vCPUs. 2. newer hardware with high clock speeds. even though D.O. may be using the same generation CPU, they are likely not getting custom SKUs, like google, amazon, and microsoft all get. seriously, go look up the sku for any CPU in any of AWSs EC2 servers (you can see it with a /proc/cpuinfo)...then go look up the SKU...it doesn't exist on Intel's website. Custom higher-clockrate SKUs SPECIFICALLY for cloud vendors that they do EXTENSIVE testing on and get the premium binned silicon wafers (they buy and reserve their own wafers). Technically, newer hardware and higher clock speeds/custom skus is two separate ones, but they're more or less the same. The point is, there's basically two ways to boost vCPU performance. One is improving hardware, the other is the way you load down the hypervisor (also, it depends on whether or not they're isolating the hypervisor resources or not or if they're shared by a customer). Also, the perceived performance gap could be that they have bad luck on where they've landed and they're getting either a noisy neighbor and/or they're sharing infra with the VMM, which needs dedicated resources in Xen. In KVM, it doesn't need dedicated resources, but will still consume some resources and may cause performance hits depending on where the VMM task(s) run(s). As for what google is doing, yeah, looks like they're juicing their cloud customer numbers. I haven't used GCP in over 10 years, but I'm certainly still counted as a user, because it was tied to my personal gmail when I started my account. Also, youtube creators have to go into the google cloud console to set certain settings for API search and request limits. I suspect they're counting those users as well.

  @JakeLandauTO I'm always puzzled when people say this, because don't you have a work email? If you work for some weird place that doesn't provide one, I'd create a Gmail one just for work. And in both case, you shouldn't look at it when you're not working. You're no CEO here.

  @deboochatterjee @TutaPrivacy My post was not a commentary on whether to turn off smart features in Gmail. It was a commentary on the ridiculous statement that "privacy is overrated. If you don't have anything to hide then you shouldn't worry about it." It's your attitude that "privacy is overrated" that has allowed companies to get as far as they have, and it's that attitude which will allow us to continue to slide down the slippery slope we're on. "Two out of our three doors are unlocked" is not solved by unlocking the third; it's solved by locking the other two.

  Flaxen Media (@flaxen_media) reported 42 minutes ago

  @markdmei List size itself isn’t the problem. Uncontrolled sending is. A 100K list can outperform a 30K list all day long if the brand is actively managing engagement, segmentation, suppression and sending behavior. Where brands get into trouble is when they treat every subscriber like they have the same intent. Someone who purchased 7 days ago, someone who clicked yesterday, and someone who hasn’t opened anything in 300 days should not be receiving the same campaign frequency. And this gets even more important as you scale paid acquisition. You can spend heavily on Meta/Google, acquire thousands of new emails every month, and still watch email revenue flatten because your overall sender reputation is deteriorating underneath the growth. For the DTC brands we work with, I’d rather see: → Smaller, more engaged campaign audiences → Aggressive segmentation based on recent behavior → Proper sunset/suppression logic → Flows doing more of the lifecycle work → Different sending frequencies for different engagement tiers → List growth measured alongside revenue per recipient, not just subscriber count One thing I’d slightly disagree with is the idea that the ESP simply “decides” to deliver fewer emails. The bigger issue is that Gmail, Yahoo and other mailbox providers continuously evaluate your sending reputation and recipient engagement. Your ESP gives you the infrastructure, but the inbox ultimately decides where you land. So yes — 30K genuinely engaged subscribers can absolutely be worth more than 80K mixed-quality contacts.

  @JohnBeaudoinSr Wow. Gmail shares attachments with AI, and yesterday, GoDaddy’s Outlook was down for 8 hours. I was unable to log in on my laptop, and the mobile app showed no new emails all day. Looks to me like they don’t want us emailing one another, in preparation for the next thing.
