In the car's defense... I think the police cruiser looked a lot like a highway median.


I know it's not free, but you could do something on Fiverr. If you offer a lot of value for a small price, i'm sure people would love to have you help out.


I used to use audible solely. Their incredibly high prices drove me away. Their subscription is stupid in my mind. To me it’s just a way to make users forget so they pay for another month. I’ve been using hoopla for the past 6 months and love it. It’s free with a library card.


I tend towards fairly dense nonfiction like Scale (finished yesterday). That's nearly 20 hours at 1x playback, which the effective price was $15 w/ my membership.

I find a huge amount of value for the effective $1-2 per hour I end up paying, even before considering the no-thought-required return policy and pro-rating the cost from multiple listens.

YMMV, but I consider my audible subscription some of the best value I receive for my money.


Same story here. I haven’t had to buy an audiobook for a year cause the library always has what I want.


Looks pretty good, but a lot depends on implementation. The testing on devices is cool, but $100 a month is a lot... especially since many developers don't make that much off their apps.


Most of the services are free. You don't have to use the test service if it is outside of your budget. For instance, you could push your successful builds directly to beta testers, if you'd like.

We've gone out of our way to make sure everything in the product is accessible via our REST API, and we also have a CLI you can install from npm.


Just curious, why is the testing so expensive? I've seen other products that provide this same testing service and they are all very expensive. Is it because of the hardware required, an ROI thing, a first to market thing, or something else?


I thought tshirt hell was the internet's favorite tshirt company?!?!


I can imagine many people take this seriously. Many people take different religious doctrines seriously and believe they are 100% truth. Every religion can't be right. Who is to say who is right and who is wrong.

The earlier episodes of this show were easier to handled then the latest. It seems they are running out of content and are stretching very far.


I donate all my smile bucks to the Youth Competitive Programming Circle.


During indoor recess at my kids school, kids don't eat their lunch and just throw it away because of the chromebooks. There are only have a few computers and they are first come first serve. Kids would rather go without lunch to be able to play on the internet for 20 minutes.
