Show HN: XaaS Pricing – track 25k+ SaaS company pricing strategies in one place
Hi all - I'm completely new here!

I come from a market analyst background - I've done large B2B tech pricing research and consulting projects for over 10 years.

I wanted to figure out a way to scale what we do in those projects to a broader set of SaaS companies that can't pay the six-figure plus price points those projects often carry.

Today is our first step on figuring that out - we've created XaaS Pricing, a tool that let's you analyze the pricing strategies of 25,000 SaaS vendors across 50+ metrics, on-demand, with real-time updates when pricing strategies change.

I hope it's helpful and look forward to feedback and questions from the HN community!
Waste handling? Burn it in newer, modern designs instead of (stupidly) burying it.
1) Currency fuels nearly $100 Trillion of global economy.

0.0000% of them transacted in Gold or Bitcoin

2) The fundamental property and requirement of currency is fast, seamless transactions. Don't confuse this with store of value. If you want store of value buy cash/dividend producing assets.

3) It's incredibly dumb and naive (all Bitcoin maximalists and Gold Bugs are) to ask currency to both act as transaction and store of value (those are opposite requirements).

4) Gold Peaked in 2011 with a price of 1900. It has lost 10% in 11 years. Forget about beating inflation, it actually has lost value over 11 years.
Just a reminder is Boomer Gold == Gen X/Y Bitcoin.
All it took was Gen X/Yers embracing Bitcoin over Gold to make Gold irrelevant
All it will take would be Gen Zers embracing something over Bitcoin to make Bitcoin irrelevant

That's the point of the magazine: it's to spread ideologies around. If you want to know what people in the state department (or adjacent/influential) are thinking, then "articles" in this magazine are one way of peering into their minds.

One example of this is the the Mr. X article. It was published anonymously in Foreign Affairs. Mr. X was George Kennan, a US diplomat, who popularized the strategy of containment which ended up as US foreign policy during the Cold War. [0]

So, if you want to know what's en vogue in certain foreign policy groups in US and western society, then Foreign Affairs is a very good magazine... But your point is right: I found very little substance and critical evidence to back many of the ideas presented when I had a subscription.

The list of your contacts bit is patently false, they've discussed in detail about how they securely organize contact lists: https://signal.org/blog/contact-discovery/

Signal has always kept your name/pic/etc on their servers I believe, because otherwise you turn signal into a P2P application, which it is not. It's a fully encrypted application that stores minimal information. It is NOT P2P.

For example, your messages are stored on their servers until they're delivered.
I've spent some time volunteering my expertise with the Open Insulin team (fantastic group of humans) and my experience is that while the effort is very worthwhile and necessary in the current corporate pharmaceutical environment, the reality is that this medication should be price regulated at the governmental level.

The "free market" has (once again) failed to provide anything more than wild overpricing and forced rationing of a drug that costs literally pennies to make. In this case, the situation being exploited is so cut and dry that it's hard for most reasonable people to debate it in good faith.

Hearing and understanding the real stories from people affected by this disease really makes you furious that some of our smartest people solved this problem, and the only reason we're still discussing it is because unethical people seeking endless capital grow don't care if people die.

No, you're only damned if you demonstrate a lack of knowledge while not even having any skin in the game. That's not a good look, man. But sure, you're obviously not a scammer, I'll give you that. I'm sorry if that's what you thought I meant. Though it is misleading to call something that is actually speculation for diversification when it's clearly not. But look, I think I've made my point. Take it as a tradesman's advice. You don't need to follow it, but do it at your own risk. ;)
I thought that was a bit over the top to be actually serious.
Because government cares about government rules only when it suits them. The rest of the time they make up excuses for why something should be allowed.
This is circular reasoning, because if the currencies were backed by gold, its price would skyrocket to fit the GDP. You can't compare price of gold as a speculative investment to price of gold backing an entire financial system.
What are you talking about?

Long press on background -> "Home Settings" -> "Swipe to Google app" disables that panel on Pixels (for which this 13 is rolling out for).

The page is then fully gone.
again, the reason that stuff is so dangerous is because it's packed with delicious and useful energy (that can be utilized by plenty of reactor designs that were fleshed out in the 50's!)
That we are still talking about burying useful fuel as if we are being rational is the real issue here!
Electron.net gives you just that. All the backend logic is in C#.

It's not the most well maintained project, but once you have it up and running for a new project it's stable.
A big part of android 12 and now 13 is "Material You", which is their name for the design language + color customization throughout the OS. I agree that the yellow color is awful but that's not the standard. You can also disable the color-theming on the icons entirely if you want to and it will default to the full color originals.
I don't think this is true, do you have a source?

They store registered users phone numbers and allow discovery by making a request with a hashed version of the phone numbers on your contact list. They add an extra layer to allow attestation of the software doing this using Intel's secure enclave. They give many examples of responding to warrants with only whether the number has been registered and the timestamp of registration, which they explain is the only information they hold.

> Nowadays getting attention seems way harder in the constant growing sea of startups.

Although I concur with you, I think that in an increasingly competitive market filled with countless startups, novelty, or uniqueness is less significant than execution these days.

With more and more people getting online, the recipe for 'startup success' will change, and what worked in the past won't necessarily work tomorrow. If anything, startups are going to face tougher competition from sheer numbers, so most ideas won't be unique, and will need to rely on execution more than ever before to get any attention.
I refuse to use or recommend Signal due to blatantly bad design choices that put people that need privacy most at risk like security researchers, journalists, abortion seekers, or dissidents.

If you learn a contact phone number then you can buy their location history. Requiring phone numbers and requiring you share them with everyone you contact is brain dead.

This alone is bad enough to abandon Signal but then consider they have centralized control of client binaries, and metadata protection anchored on centralized SGX they can trivially access. This negligent design makes them vulnerable to coercion or even court orders if any judge realizes they actually -can- decrypt messages and dump metadata.

Matrix supports Signal crypto but in a federated network with no PII requirements like Signal. Also no lock-in or central control of apps.
> These days I won't be bothered to replace a battery, unless there is a compelling reason. Just get another phone, and move on.

Generating less e-waste seems compelling enough.
My last samsung phone would randomly disconnect from the mobile network, without any warning, and would keep showing it had signal available.

Of course that meant I would lose calls and texts, because it showed no indication of being effectively offline.

The only fix would be a full reboot.

Which is completely moronic for a brand new and expensive phone. More so if you think that receiving and making calls is the flipping basic purpose of a phone.

I have since then switched to an iphone, using the same sim card and provider, and having no issues so far.

I might go back to android in the future, but surely not to samsung.
You've unfortunately been breaking the site guidelines quite a lot in recent threads. Can you please stop this? We have to ban accounts that post that way.

If you wouldn't mind reviewing https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and taking the intended spirit of the site more to heart, we'd be grateful.
Improper caching?
Absolutely. I generally use English (not my native language) as default language for my Android phone, but there are some apps where the English translation is pretty awful and that I prefer to use in the original language. For these use cases app developers needed to add in-app language switchers, which can be a bit of a pain to implement.

There are still situations where the setting in Android won't cut it though, namely if Android doesn't know the language at all. For example, Android doesn't know Romansh (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhaeto-Romance_languages) is a thing, so if an app wants to add a translation for it, it needs to be an in-app switch.
Noone wants those messages
Signal does not tell me which number is which user. I know which number is who myself. The most Signal does is presumably warn me when the key associated with the number changed (eg. new phone).

And that's where I have to trust Signal, but as a protocol not a "trusted source" of information.
No, but its legal guardians probably did
Considering the quality of the labs performing the work, every test deserves scrutiny.
> You could do that from pretty much any Windows language, Visual Basic wasn't special in that regard

You mean “Microsoft” language surely? You couldn’t access DLLs from Perl, PHP, Java, and a bunch other other languages that had been ported to Windows.

And my point wasn’t that VB was special. Just that you could still interface with C++ code albeit only via compiled libraries (you also could access COM objects too).

> my point was that since both were MS products and part of the same package they could have much better integration.

I got that was your point but they weren’t part of the same package. VB didn’t ship with a C++ compiler and nor did Visual Studio support compiling Visual Basic. They were sold as separate products and their IDEs were rather different too. Don’t be fooled into thinking that because they share a similar product name (I mean that makes sense from a marketing perspective) that they were the same package. Having used both, I wouldn’t be at all surprised if the similarities were only skin deep.
Regardless of customizations, they use same animations. Even high end galaxies are nowhere near iPhones, and I say that as an Android developer and user for 8 years. Framedrops, jank, inconsistent styles, it’s just impossible to fix, it seems. Or Google doesn’t care.

And no, it’s not different on Pixels, it also drops frames and has nowhere near as fluid animations as iOS.
Deleting (destroying) everything after all tests have been done would be the simple solution.
Surprising how government overreach and power abuse does that. It was an unnecessary and clearly partisan attempt to indict him. I would be angry if they did this to my political enemies, and you should be too.
This doesn't look like a regular docker container... or am I missing something?

> How much is in an Olympic gold medal?

Not much. They are gold-plated these days.

This happens to be my area of expertise (somewhat). You don't and none are planned to be released until later this year.

You likely don't even have a phone that supports it: Only high-end chipsets with Bluetooth 5.2 capability support it (check for an explicit mention of LE Audio in the SoC's data sheet; per my understanding the isochronous channels needed for LE Audio are optional in the standard).

Oh yeah, and it is huge, mostly in one way I care about: The audio quality might not suck so badly anymore when making phone calls because the standard finally allows more than 16kHz audio recording (the need for an extra profile has been removed).

I'm confused by your comment. The new permission tools address the fact that apps have access to your entire library. It's an evolutionary improvement in security, since in every computing device since the 80s, all your apps had access to your entire filesystem.

To be honest it can be annoying sometimes. I was happy with the all-in photo library access restriction we've had since 2014. Any app that would do something nefarious with my pictures would have to be something photography related, in which case they can still trick me into giving full library access even with the fine-grained policies. I'd much prefer a short-lived one-time access permission instead, for those times when you need to upload something.
As a Samsung OneUI user (and occasional Pixel user as a developer) I disagree.

I like Samsung for their customisability and additional features, but the UI is very much in a "yeeeeeshhh" category.

Better hope China doesn't do more than build a test reactor. Cheap and abundant energy is what built the west. China is poised to severely lap the rest of the world while we continue to point fingers and argue :p
in germany, by law, you can demand that your work time is reduced to part time. (i don't know what the limit is, but the demand has to be reasonable, and can only be made in companies with more than 50 people, but apart from that, unless the employer has a good reason, they can't deny it)
Anybody reading this, Prizren is a very beautiful historical town/city. It has some really nice old architecture, plus a castle, and there is plenty to explore around the area. It has a lot of old school Albanian gold and silver shops, that do some really interesting/old style jewelry, as back in the Ottoman era used to be an important stop for merchants.

Pixel series is my favorite. Even the second tier Pixels are better than the Samsung Galaxy I got last year. The builtin Samsung apps suck and can't be installed, true. But also the keyboard or screen size isn't a fit for me so it's constantly inserting periods/upper case words into my stream of words when I type quickly. And worst of all the USB-C port has gotten so bad only 2 of my 8 USB-C cables work with the phone anymore (though they still work with other USB-C devices I need to charge).

Really looking forward to going back to the Pixel phones and not touching Samsung again.

This is exactly the type of application I am interested in as well. As a hobby game dev with only mediocre pixel art skills, having a generator to finish the busy work would be an absolute lifesaver. I'm also interested in using it for fleshing out artistic vision through generating variations of an initial concept.

Hopefully we aren't more than a few years away from something practical like this.

I'm not saying its an amazing experience or solves the problem systematically. Again, some people simply don't need these features. You can literally just take part of the public key and that's it. That is totally fine for some use-cases.
If you don’t mind, how did you set this up? I’d love to play around with this sort of thing but I’m a bit of a networking newbie.

TO AVOID THIS FOLLOW THESE STEPS:

1. Get authorization code for transfer from GoDaddy

2. Put that in the host you want to transfer to (This will start your race against time). I suggest you use cloudflare since the transfer is fast.

3. Go to GoDaddy and approve transfer immediately (GoDaddy hides this option to delay the process intentionally, follow the video to find this option).

4. Your details will become private again if your new host support whois privacy.

I've been wondering lately if it wouldn't make sense for power companies to offer a battery incentive program to homeowners. They'll cover 1/2 the cost of a battery but mandate that the system be set to draw from the grid when production is high (middle of the day mostly) and be used to power the home in the evening when demand is high but production is tailing off.

Some companies do Time of Use contracts which do this to a degree, but flat incentives (cut a one time check to the homeowner) seem much less complicated. The grid gets smoothing and the homeowner gets to keep the lights on when the power goes out and doesn't have to spend nearly as much on the install. The power company doesn't have to manage a big bank of batteries somewhere and saves on distribution costs. Plus the homeowners technically own the systems so when something goes wrong the power company doesn't have to roll a truck to fix it.

The only real problem with this scheme is that the battery market is already squeezed with so many companies jumping into the electric vehicle business and production lagging behind demand. However, this is likely to be a short term problem, so hopefully in the next couple of years something like this will be practical.
It took billions of years to get to that point, too. Complex life only really got going during the Cambrian explosion.
Perhaps a stupid question from a non-economics laymen:

If people are holding 'paper' gold that isn't backed by physical gold, then doesn't that mean that gold as a product is more scarce than the market demand? Wouldn't it mean that by increase the volume of 'paper' gold assets we are artificially pricing gold incorrectly?

Your message confuses me. Do you mean to say the improvement noted in android 13 is a good remedy for, historically, a bad privacy practice?

To me, limiting which folders/pieces of media an app can access seems like a win.
Looking at it in terms of sets is not really useful because the utility of TS is to exclude invalid behavior. JS allows many things which are not permissible in TS. Semantically, not syntactically. And TS can't infer a number of things such as higher-order functions. So you either have external definitions for those libraries, give up and type it "any" (and taint your entire code base), or have errors which means you can't use the JS library with your TS code base.

Or to put it another way, JS is only a subset of TS in as far as you're willing to forgo the benefits of TS.
Yes, the Electron app has a huge number of dependencies, many more than our Go apps, which actually implement more features. On subsequent JS projects (after this Electron experience), I've become extremely strict about dependencies. Like you, I tend to write the functions I need rather than importing packages that bloat the codebase and make the app hard to debug.
For 2018 chip and for a company like Google, the decision to go with C despite their all knowledge oN C/C++ memory issues (hello Chrome) is a bit sad.
