They were already doing this. Maybe in just some places I guess? Previously their cap was 250GB and they would call or threaten disconnect if you hit that multiple months. Then they switched to the block plan where you could go over and just get the extra charge instead of the threats. Then for a good while (up to now, last I checked) they completely put the cap on hold, I'm guessing to test how customers were impacted?? But now perhaps they're either rolling out the block plan everywhere, or just reinstating it and giving proper notice before they turn it back on. So this isn't really new, but short of providing an unlimited plan, this is a good alternative in my opinion.

It shows up with the HN theme (orange bar at top and beige background) but without other links/text like user info on the right or the footer. I first noticed it the other day when I started using a wired connection at work instead of WiFi.

It would be nice if I didn't have to set up _another_ repo. Integrating with GitHub or BitBucket would be preferred (be backed by, not just import). That said, I wouldn't actually use it since GitHub lets you edit individual files through the UI. Just an observation. The rest looks nice though.

Maybe you should allow downvoting for everyone then. I'm more likely to downvote a dismissive reply then I am to upvote every positive reply to overtake it. And on the mention of dismissive comments: as a frequent visitor I feel emotionally safer just reading and not posting... so if there is a karma threshold for allowing downvotes, I doubt I will ever hit it.

I don't understand why this only gets a score of 1:

    static String[] c = { "", "FizzBuzz", "Buzz", "Fizz" };
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        for(int i = 1; i <= 100; i++)
        {
            c[0] = ""+i;
            int f = ((int)Math.ceil((i%3)/3.0))+1;
            int b = ((int)Math.ceil((i%5)/5.0))*2;
            System.out.println(c[(f+b)%4]);
        }
    }
