Ask HN: Pre-agentic Google would restrict a search query to only 10 words

Sat, 05/16/2026 - 9:16pm

Now it's willing to digest a paragraph of vague, misspelled prose and serve up helpful answers. It can't have gotten THAT cheaper or faster, what's changed?

Tell HN: Mindie.dev is scraping emails from profiles to send spam

Sat, 05/16/2026 - 9:06pm

Got the following from hello@mindie.dev

----

Hey Stackghost —

Saw your HN comment about freelance time tracking / invoicing. TimeChat is a Telegram bot: type "1.5 acme bug fix" after work, end of month it auto-generates the PDF invoice for your client. Side-by-side vs Toggl: mindie.dev/vs/toggl.

For HN readers I'm running EARLY10: $1/mo (was $7). One-click checkout: timechat pro 2-mo trial

If it's useful, I'd love your feedback. Free tier covers solo testing if you want to start there: https://timechat.mindie.dev

Not relevant? Reply STOP and I'll never email again.

— the Mindie team mindie.dev

I went back through my comment history and I don't believe that I have ever mentioned freelancing, time tracking, or invoicing in a comment except once when I mentioned an invoice peripherally a year ago.

Thus, mindie.dev is scraping emails from profiles and hallucinating relevant reasons to try to grease their sales funnel.

Attempting to unsubscribe via their "reply stop and I'll never email again" resulted in a bounced email.

I find this behavior to be ultra scummy and dishonest. I enjoy the communal feel from people having open emails on their profiles but it seems the taboo has been broken. I will be removing my email from my profile and suggest you do the same.
