That's a good idea, but alas I fear such a proposal would be deemed too... umm nationalistic or something... better to have local talent pay through the nose for their qualifications so that they can then compete on the global market w

Funny how ppl don't like to mention this and just focus on H1Bs getting paid "market rates". It's almost like the SV's previous gentleman agreement of non-poaching got replaced with "hey, let's use H1Bs, s

The counter is it's also risky to use a company that only does Domain Registration since it's a very low margin business and thus the risk for them shuttering is higher -- or they'll try to make it up with various erroneous

Ah yes that's true, I always seem to group .io in with the new crowd of TLDs in the sense that it became trendy "recently"; and I only mentioned .io domains since GitBook uses one, "gitbook.io".

Apart from the most obvious examples, I would also consider Cloudflare's new registry service. It's cheap, at-cost, and they support a lot of the new TLDs like .io which is also a lot cheaper.

Exactly, which is why OP's clarification is welcomed. I too made the same assumption as you did, or rather thought it was some political statement based on our current geopolitical climate. But no, it's the Chinese looking to forc

I think this might actually work out because IKEA will essentially become the new $ANCHOR_STORE. In previous times these anchor stores were businesses that got blown out by the Internet so there was no more anchor, and no more reason to vis

Nothing obvious about it. That's like saying Roland's shitty bass accompaniment gizmo, the TB-303, was obviously built for Acid House.

Can confirm, I got a Prime delivery from a guy driving a white Budget Rent-a-car van two weeks ago. Have to say I was very thankful.

Tbh I was just reaching for a good "free font alternative" -- ofc they wont be exact clones -- but captures that "clean sans-serif design spirit" that seems to be all the rage at the moment.

The point is simply that if I wanted to create a website and use Circular [0] (a nice geometric font made popular by Spotify) I would need to pay based on total pageviews which is an unknown, so the price is unknown, which is prohibitive in
