Maybe "overpaid" is the wrong term. I think that VC capital allocation in Berlin is skewed in favor of fintech investments, where most people are setting up some part of the banking ecosystem into their own app and most of them fa

Great idea, really like it. I really wonder why our overpaid German fintech ecosystem is unable to produce this kind of innovation? Is it because of too many regulations within the EU?

Otto is a huge corruption case right now, and I've read articles indicating that the whole otto vehicle was just set up to funnel IP out of Google into Uber. So the "exit" might've been constructed a bit. Not criticizing

I'm always baffled by the naivity of people when deciding on company names. The challenge is not to spend dollars on finding a new name that is as cool as possible, but the challenge is to find a name: - that is not used in that contex

I wish the author all the best, but I also think this article is a bit heavy on the self-loathing side. If you get burnt out multiple times you should really change something because it seems the working environment is not a good fit.

I've repeatedly stumbled over these kinds of decisions by the gnome team. As a teenager I actually donated to the gnome foundation and I was very proud to receive some stickers via mail, but over the past years I realized that somehow

Oh shut up. I live in Cologne, there are gang/biker shootings and robberies with guns every week. Police is always too late.

Most people who are into doing criminal things actually have guns here in Europe. Our open borders allow people to drive a trunk full of guns from Turkish border directly to Berlin, and they regularly catch guys doing that. Only the people

It's incredible how things like collecting sales tax is up for discussion with some US states. If you don't collect VAT anywhere in Europe you get severely punished by authorities. They take their 20% cut from every sale very seri

LastPas has been in the spotlight for quite some time now, and repeatedly critized by the security community. I've also read various articles about alleged security flaws with LastPass (which were quickly resolved by the team).

Brilliant find by taviso. So simple yet thousands of others passed over it. It takes a relentless mind to comb through all this code and actually find such an issue.

Good call to take it public, it's the only way to solve such an issue in time. Just wait until Matt Cutts or one of his team shows up here on HN to have a look at this problem.

Their agility in comparison to GM is communicated very well. At least they tackle innovative moonshot projects, it motivates people to give their best. In other companies the ones innovating are the minority and people dwell on past success

I know this syntax from ssh. But up until now nobody framed this technicality into the "email" context where even my grandmother could understand the concept!

Now when I think about it, Dropbox could still beat them to market by implementing and marketing this type of file addressing with their existing userbase.

I think it is a brilliant idea to merge file paths with email addresses. In hindsight it feels like a logical next step from services such as Dropbox, where everything is about sharing files. You share a file and the other person gets sent

What kind of drinks do you drink during that fasting period? I imagine I'd collapse after one day if I wouldn't drink soda or something high-sugar / high-coffeine.

The country you're travelling to doesn't owe you anything. In some areas of the world, border guards will shoot or rob you. If you don't take part in any shit that annoys the powers that be, you will most likely never be appr

These kinds of searches are also needed within the country, but the profiling heuristics can be implemented much better at centralized border crossings. As I said, your profile obviously does not fit that of a terrorist, and I can tell that
