   I live in the UK and don't think I've used cash for at least three years if not longer, at least I can't remember the last time I did and I love it. I understand the concerns about everything being logged digitally, but it is

   Anecdote but I was there a few weeks ago and did have a similar experience. It was really annoying, so many small shops chose not to take card, and as tourists you usually get screwed on the exchange rates if you need cash. Also a concert w

   Wish I had space to do something like this, here in the UK houses are tiny compared to most of the developed world, and having some kind of garage is basically a luxury

   To own my own pocket supercomputer that also functions as a high quality photo/video camera? I'd gladly pay that "tax". It's about the equivalent of one meal a month in a restaurant.

   On the flip side, I have wide thumbs and find it hard to type on smaller phones, so I welcome this trend

   I have a rule that I spend the most money on things I use the most. Mattresses, phones, computers, desks, chairs, etc. Is a thousand dollars for a phone a lot? Well, depends on how you look at it. I use it for more than an hour a day, every

   To give you my personal opinion, yellow clashes with the elegant and sleek style of the brand Mercedes is trying to present. When I see a yellow car, I either think 'cheap run down taxi' or 'high end sports car', it does

    Curious, what is it with Microsoft that makes it so poisonous for you that you won't touch anything they make with a ten foot pole? As an example, I'd say Facebook (Meta) is a way more toxic company but I've never heard of a

    Still not as terrible as some SPACs, the all time high was around $30 for PSTH, so the worst haircut you could get is to be 33% down if you had bought at the very exact top.

    Yeah it's because HN is engineering focused, and somehow "crypto" is not supposed to be upheld to the same standards as everything else. Everything is always a few years away, mass adoption right around the corner, killer app

    There is no way you'd be able to cash out $1.3M if most of the liquidity is simply not there, the price would crater immediately. You'd have to sell to yourself.

    Yes I am. They also overbooked seven people on that flight, delayed it for hours, and then completely cancelled. There were people in wheelchairs left stranded at the airport after waiting there all day. This is just plain incompetence.

    Correct, but they are not raising rates as aggressively as the US. Powell was not afraid to do 75bps, while the BoE is already giving out dovish signals after a 25bps hike last month.

    The problem I see with this is you are disadvantaged from your peers if you're the only kid without access to the internet. You can't just shield your specific kid from the world and then they go to school and their friends all sh

    I will never give Adobe a penny again in my life after going through their abysmal cancellation process littered with dark patterns and manipulation for one of their subscriptions, on top of being charged a fee to cancel.

    Yes from BER, it was an IC, but we didn't actually need to go to another city, it just happened to stop near where we were going in Berlin and be the fastest way to get there (first option that navigation apps suggested). Ended up fin
