one of the quotes i find most inspiring on a hard day:
"Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might, for in the realm of the dead, where you are going, there is neither working nor planning nor knowledge nor wisdom"

Hi! Getting a lot of questions on Pro plan rate limits, so I wanted to clarify a few things:
- Your Pro $100 plan includes at least 10x Plus usage, till May 31 with the 2X usage boost.
- Your Pro $200 plan includes at least 20x Plus usage, till May 31 with the 2X usage boost. This is also the SAME usage this plan had since the 2x promo in February; we previously didn't document this explicitly.
Now to address the confusion. Our pricing page says "5x or 20x usage", and many of you very understandably took it to mean "10x and 40x" given then 2X usage boost. That's our fault. We mixed up two things in a confusing way on that page - (1) sharing that the Pro $100 launched with a 2x boost, making it 10x Plus till May 31 and (2) sharing that Pro $200 retained its 2x boost and sharing for the first time that this equates to 20x Plus.
We're going to update our pricing pages to make this clearer. Sorry it wasn't as clear as it should have in the first place.🫥
BREAKING: Google is planning to release 32 million mosquitoes across Florida and California.
The company has asked the EPA for permission to proceed, with the public given until June 5 to respond.
The mosquitoes are infected with Wolbachia bacteria, which stops them from reproducing and slowly collapses the wild population from within.
Google's previous Debug Project trial in California's Central Valley nearly eliminated mosquitoes from three test sites entirely. A separate trial in Singapore cut dengue cases by 70% within 12 months.
Google has now released over 1 billion mosquitoes across four continents. This new proposal is the largest deployment in US history.
