I have used UKForex a few times, and have been happy with the service. I've only used them for US <-> UK transfers though.

Because you try it once or twice when exploring a new touch interface? It takes all of < 1 second. I get it is obfuscated but we aren't talking about a crazy level of interface hiding. People expect to be able to swipe on most inter

If it helps, I recently had surgery in Vietnam at the French Vietnamese hospital in Saigon and was really pleased with the cleanliness of the facilities. My US doctor so far thinks they did a great job too. Cost was $3500 US for a broken co

The painful way is pretty simple! Wait until you have a few days you can be "down" and just go cold turkey. I find I do OK the first couple of days, then get a pretty bad headache. When that's gone I'm back to normal.

I think by that logic no one values high quality food? A croissant in Paris is probably about 2 euros as well. If we both agree the French tend to do croissants better, and care about it more, so how come theirs don't cost significantl

I definitely worry about my life being affected by situations like this. I receive a ridiculous amount of other people's email - for serious things like email account reset, to banking info. When the Ashley Madison hack happened, my em

On the flip side, I did that and while generally it's been a positive experience, providing your email address over the phone has become huge pain! I definitely took for granted how easy it is to say to someone "first initial + la

AT&T does something similar - 75% and 90%. I learned the hard way it can't be relied on to be timely! I received a 75% warning on a Friday night from them, continued to use data (some streaming), and never got the 90% warning, unti

I think the point is that becoming sufficiently dispassionate isn't something you can do in a few hours a week. If you have the time to dedicate to doing so, great, but realistically so many people are better off using that time to get

Listening to yourself makes a HUGE difference, in my experience. I've gotten used to recording myself for things like singing lessons, and it's been perhaps even more beneficial to replay the casual conversational exchanges with m

I just look at this as more proof that breakthroughs aren't nearly as "sudden" as it often seems. People will probably continue working on this for years and years before something, if anything, comes of it.

Do you happen to have other examples of larger companies doing this? I haven't heard of anything concrete other than this, mostly just anecdotes from people here on HN saying they feel the job market is cooling.

It's similar for me. I'm not sure if the tinnitus is the result of too many loud concerts / events, or constant jaw tension (TMJ). I've had it for about 5 years now, but it's generally pretty mild. I do notice I won

Trusting reviewers gets really complicated quickly, as someone I trust to evaluate what makes a good blender might really hate that genre of books I enjoy.

I think they mean how resources are split after a divorce, where courts are viewed as being more favourable to women. For example I think women are more likely to keep children, whereas the men will pay alimony to support them. If there are

In a lot of places, no movement is necessary. Many European homes don't have the space for both, and I think losing some drying efficiency is worth it for the space reduction. See: http://www.amazon.com/LG-WM3997HWA-Whi

I can see law enforcement agencies loving this feature. Way easier than high-speed pursuits down busy city roads. [edit] Though remote control would probably be sufficient, but they seem equally dangerous to me from the driver's perspe
