Achieve some level of financial security (say 6-12 months savings), then just do whatever you want. The hard part is the former. Once you've done that the negotiation bit is trivial because you don't really need to care - you can

This is really cool. I toyed with the idea of visualising travel time using colour heat maps. London tube map https://tubermap.com/ (in the options you can turn on 'times'). I'd love to see the transit author

Hi HN, We've just gotten finished pushing out a new mobile interface update for our tube map and thought this would be a good opportunity to show it off! We're using hammer.js for pinch zoom, html5 canvas to draw the map and a wod

Looks like the ad network I was using was being naughty and included popunders randomly (which hadn't been caught during testing). Removed now and should work fine.

Hello HN! I made this as a test of what can be done locally in the browser without a backend, and because I was frustrated with certain things missing from traditional maps. You can draw routes around the tube network, get time heatmaps fro

Pieter, Thank you. For everything. I'm sure the rest of the community shares my opinion that you've contributed so much to the field. For all that it matters, I wish you a pleasant departure.

Many of these discussions seem to leave the elephant in the room of what is 'enough'. If your company can only extract 50K per employee, and a home costs 500K in the region, then I don't think you have a legitimate business,

This looks cool and the price is appealing. For me personally, the range is a bit short and 30mph doesn't cut it - in some cities it'd work, London is full of 50mph roads. I'd love to buy a Zero (linked lower in the thread) i

Maciej (HN handle 'idlewords') has an interesting take on this that I'm struggling to find in my history right now. The basic idea is that all of the data these companies collect is still ultimately useless in practice. We st

I like wide open spaces and I'd live in the forest with no-one around for miles if I had the means and a suitable plot. Land, or at least a small garden or garage (in order of decreasing usefulness), is incredibly useful for woodworki

E-liquid can be made at home using pharmaceutical grade glycerine. In fact, you can vape glycerine on its' own (possibly adding some distilled water to aid in wicking). It has a vaguely sweet flavour. Commercial e-liquid is made using

Perhaps. I used to live in Zone1/2, and had 24 hour bus routes. So still ~an order of magnitude - 10GBP vs 1.50. I'd forgotten about sharing with friends. Taxis certainly work out well there. Maybe that's it? It's probab

What I find interesting is the sheer size of the taxi industry (Uber included) given the costs involved. I'm guessing it's some sort of socioeconomic group thing. Hardly anyone I know takes taxis of any kind in London. For persona

'end to end' is probably an unattainable goal. I'd go for understanding it at some level given some axioms, and gradually dig in to the axioms. I think it's difficult to create an all encompassing post for that reason. I

Why not give a 'security line' time (like the current gateline time). If the passenger is there before that time, then the flight waits for them, or they're put on the next flight. That seems to sidestep the issue neatly. As

Can a rational argument be made, that addresses the emotions involved, for repealing laws that criminalize the existence or transfer of information? The best argument I can come up with is that digital security simply isn't understood

Does anyone have a recommendation for a good public library in London? I've often found myself wanting to read a reference book prior to purchase (technical books are extremely expensive to buy). Do any of the universities offer subscr

Is there a logical concept or some sort of 'phrase' that describes the 'inside and outside of box' problem? My vocabulary is lacking. In computing, we know quite well that a system's inputs and outputs don't ha

Thank you for the link! I found 'Return to the Cave' particularly interesting. The prisoners, according to Socrates, would infer from the returning man's blindness that the journey out of the cave had harmed him and that the
