All customers will receive global account-level pooling of transfer across all instances and locations.
然後是每個帳號都提供 2TB 的 free outbound traffic，這點有點放送的感覺：
Every Vultr customer will now receive two terabytes (2 TB) of free outbound data transfer every month, in addition to the transfer included with each subscription.
最後是超量的部份收費也簡化了，不管什麼地區都是 $0.01/GB：
Vultr will now offer a reduced, single worldwide egress overage rate of only $0.01 per GB.
Kagi search is currently serving ~2,600 paid customers. We have seen steady growth since the launch 3 months ago. Note, this is with zero marketing and fully relying on word of mouth. We prefer to keep things this way for now, as we are still developing the product towards our vision of a user-centric web search experience.
後面在講財務狀況也是類似的數字 (幾乎都是 Kagi 的付費收入)：
Between Kagi and Orion, we are currently generating around $26,500 USD in monthly recurring revenue, which incidentally about exactly covers our current API and infrastructure costs.
Between Kagi and Orion, we are currently generating around $26,500 USD in monthly recurring revenue, which incidentally about exactly covers our current API and infrastructure costs.
That means that salaries and all other operating costs (order of magnitude of $100K USD/month) remain a challenge and are still paid out of the founders’ pocket (Kagi remains completely bootstrapped).
然後要大概是目前十倍的付費數量才會打平 (25K 個使用者)：
We are planning to reach sustainability at around 25,000 users mark, by further improving the product, introducing new offerings and pricing changes. With the product metrics being as good as they are, we should be able to reach this as our visibility increases.
比較好一點的消息是 churn rate 很低：
Product stickiness is also very high, with churn being lower than 3%.
We are currently serving around 70,000 queries a day or around ~27 queries/day/user (this includes free users which are about 10% of total users). There is a lot of variance in use though, with some users regularly searching >100 times a day. Every time we see a search count go >400 times in day we are happy to be an important part of someone’s search experience.
我看了一下自己的用量，看起來偏高一些，但沒到他說的每天平均 100 次：
然後提到了推出新方案的計畫，包括 Teams Plan & Family Plan，而目前在跑的方案會被分類到 Individual Plans。
Kagi Unlimited - $19/mo or $180/year ($15/mo) or $288/biennial ($12/mo) - Original Kagi experience, with unlimited searches
Kagi Starter ($5/mo; 200 searches) - For casual users who make less than 200 searches per month
Free basic - 50 free searches that reset every month
漲不少，雖然有提到在漲價前既有的付費使用者將會維持原價：
If such change to Individual plans is to occur, we plan to grandfather-in all early adopters (meaning all current and future paid customers, up until this change) allowing them to keep their existing subscription price as long as they don’t cancel it.
In a memorandum to federal departments and agencies, Dr. Alondra Nelson, the head of OSTP, delivered guidance for agencies to update their public access policies as soon as possible to make publications and research funded by taxpayers publicly accessible, without an embargo or cost.
時間表的部份，短期是 2023 年中更新 policy，並且在 2025 年年底前全部施行：
In the short-term, agencies will work with OSTP to update their public access and data sharing plans by mid-2023. OSTP expects all agencies to have updated public access policies fully implemented by the end of 2025.
這次的算政府方面的政策，至少這些論文會有地方可以公開下載。
找了一下之前寫下來跟 open access 有關的消息，從學校方面給壓力的也不少，不過我記錄下來的主要都是跟 Elsevier 的中止合約：
Focus on what's mission-critical: Removal of free dynos, hobby-dev Heroku Postgres and hobby-dev Heroku Data for Redis plans starting November 28, 2022 and inactive account deletion starting October 26, 2022.
取而代之的是針對特定團體條件性的開放，分成三類：學生、非營利組織以及 open source 專案。但前兩個目前方案都還沒出來，要晚點才會公佈；後面的 open source 專案則是要寄信申請。
Customers new to AWS in the past 12 months and who were in regions where db.t2.micro was not available can now create free tier db.t3.micro or db.t4g.micro instances for the remainder of their first 12 months.
