Really satisfied (free) user that will likely pay the monthly fee at some point. It's friction-less, but with some rules/ideas in place to help you. Well done Notion team, 100% satisfied

Buy any instance of that share back, not that exact one. And if no one wants to sell it, the price has gone up...meaning your bet was wrong and you lose money

Borrow a stock worth $100, sell it, collect $100 cash. Buy stock back at a later date for $50 (You thought the price was going to go down right?), give it back to the original lender. You have now made $50. This is my (basic/primitive)

I'm familiar with directional audio (when playing games, 7.1 sound or w/e) and stereo sound (when listening to music), there is something that feels super immersive from some of the tracks. I've just spent 30 minutes listenin

This is absolutely amazing, and is one of the first things in a while where technology has made my jaw drop. A lot of these vids are a bit gimmicky, and over doing it, but this is so cool.

It being an app, downloaded from a moderated app store (albeit not a very well moderated one) rules out an entire class of attacks (phishing), which make up a large portion of online banking attacks. This alone is probably a decent competit

Monzo is awesome; they deserve all their success. They have single handedly forced banks to compete on UX, though Monzo still wins by a significant margin. Huge stat from the article; > And in terms of customer growth, extrapolating stat

Hard part is he's probably justifying to himself that he has been "censored" and that "the truth hurts". I don't know how to handle this situation, but I am wary of immediately banning and removing people with

The article estimates that 163 disabled people alone are killed by the police each year. That's an interesting statistic/estimation that I don't know what to make of. Of course I think you should treat the police with respect

It's a genre of video where a shitty harmonica version is dubbed over the original theme. I believe the jurrasic park one is the original; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-w-58hQ9dLk "They do move in herds"

I like this approach; feels very unix-y in philosophy. I am in the position where I'm undoubtably going to need to become an adult soon, and the prospect of going back to traditional banks makes me ill.

Honestly; the HN community does a good job of self-regulating this behaviour. The consensus seems to be against these types of comments, as they are more often than not at the bottom of the post.

This was true before they launched their own payment processing. They often had outages in late 2017 and earlier due to 3rd party reliability. I haven't had an outage since the current accounts have been released. No affiliation; just

FYI; companies typically make one reply, instead of per opening, unless those roles are incredibly distinct.

I have this on one of my "Todos", as its my biggest frustration. I must be underestimating just how much it takes to do this, because no one gets close to Apple in my opinion.

Nice write up. Blows my mind that these big companies can juts ignore things like this and hope that it doesn't come up.

I got a fast external SSD and put Antegeros (Arch) onto it. I then used it as my daily driver, dropping back to Mac if I needed something. I haven't had to use MacOS for a couple of months for anything. Basically have a useless SSD sit

Cost of living is a lot lower. 25-30 days holiday a year + 10 bank holidays. Far less grindy hours (obviously varies from place to place). The big money gigs are in London are in contracting, where people can make 500-1k a day for 3-6-12 mo

Honestly, at this point we would probably consider it, given the right graduate. Some graduates are better than people with 10 years exp. The lack of good talent is real. I hope this drives salaries up a bit!

If they are offering the $79/month service in the EU, it doesn't matter that they have a GDPR compliant version. They won't be able to sell the non-compliant version right?

Yeah this is certainly a cultural thing. It hadn't even crossed my mind that I would be held accountable for injuring someone on a scooter. From what I can see, this law hasn't been tested, but given that my scooters max speed is
