New comment by seanwilson in "Ask HN: What is your passive income 2019?"

> It some kind of sense to me that the noisiest customers are those paying less, even if they're only making up something like 20% of actual MRR.

Yep. Another factor is Checkbot covers a big range of website problems where the fixes for each vary a lot (where it's not possible to determine the source via web crawling) so noisy customers can have complex requests.

For example, a bad redirect could be coming from Apache, Nginx, WordPress or cPanel settings. I get a lot of messages where someone is convinced Checkbot is wrong when it's actually correct too (e.g. people convinced their HTML is valid when it's not) which can generate bad reviews if you're not careful.

> Are a lot of the support requests related to yearly billing or do you mean a quarterly option would theoretically preempt those kinds of requests?

I mean each payment can prompt a support request so the more spread out the payments the less support requests. They're not super common, but they build up the more customers you get and I feel a sense of urgency to handle requests to do with payments.

I think the longer billing periods let people relax more with evaluating the product too e.g. you're not thinking "I need to use this a lot right now because I've only got 30 days to decide if I use it enough to keep paying or not".

> Really great extension, site and all-around product, by the way.

Thanks, appreciated. :)

New comment by amatecha in "Alphabet in bid to buy Fitbit"

Yeah, on the two Pebble OGs I owned, they had frequent display issues. However, it turned out it's because the display connector somehow starts wiggling loose or something.

You can actually fix the display-glitching yourself by adding a paper/cardboard shim. It actually works! There's an excellent post[0] that outlines the process. I had to redo mine because it wasn't quite thick enough, but after I did that mine was good to go for a long time. I think you might have to redo it when the shim gets worn down and doesn't put enough pressure on the display connector? Not sure...

New comment by zamalek in "The Thirty Million Line Problem"

It takes "17 million lines of code in Thing X to do Activity Y" is patently wrong. Many of the lines of code in Linux is dedicated to drivers, drivers which are likely not even loaded. Many more lines of code may be unused this specific scenario, if you are simply reading on WordPress, you aren't using the admin code at all.

The reality is that a miniscule amount of those lines of code is involved in the activity. You can write an OS and stack that could achieve a very specific task (IncludeOS), but then it could only perform that one task. Now that there is 'no wasteful code', how would he record his weekly screencast, or edit it, or transcode it, or upload it, or view it? Everyone would only be able to view text files.

These systems are this complex because there is demand for them to be. This really seems like tilting at windmills.
