Can second this. Bank or fintech in London and a senior dev can do 100k+.

Visit any of the major supermarket brands in London and I guarantee you'll see a handful of staff or security not or not properly wearing a mask.

Yup, sorry. Basically the public transport network. So underground and overground trains and buses (mostly - they also licence the cabs and water taxis as well).

Exactly my experiences in London. Crazy isn't it? I just don't think people even believe it's real. Half the people with a mask on TFL wear them over their chin or with their nose out anyway.

Not quite sure what they thought would happen - lockdown in November and then unlock and open all the shops the three weeks before Christmas and expect everyone to be sensible? Totally my experiences, but London looks like it hasn't

This sort of reminds me of all the comments on the Dropbox Show HN. "I can backup all my stuff by doing XYZ, why would I need this?" I'm not saying this product is as revolutionary, just that there's value in identifying

Be honest? "$25 a month for managed, Ghost optimised hosting that's perfect for 99.9% of websites* * Think you're in the .1%? Transfer more than 100gb a month (roughly equivalent to X million visits for the average site) and

Lots - you just have to figure that the value you get is worth the price of entry. Usually it's an "I'm going to learn something, or learn from people enough that will cover the cost of community" or an "I'm go

Sure, it's not a precise equivalent, but then Spotify pays more - and it's (again, arguably!) easier to end up on some Spotify playlists than it was/is to get played on the the radio in any significant promotional sense. But

Lots of my friends are musicians. I have every sympathy for artists that can't live off their art (because that's the dream, right?). But I'd be curious how any of this would compare to record sales and artists that made mone

TBF, until I spent what I considered 'proper' money ($200+) on headphones I didn't really 'get it'. But the difference my first 'proper' pair of headphones made to listening to music, I'm not sure I&#

What experience level is that for the dev? I'd say you're paying more than that for equivalent in London, but that salary would be relatively junior.

Great stuff! Look forward to seeing where it goes!

Totally agree with this. A good starting point might have been some of the looks on reddit's malefashionadvice (or something similar). The basic bastard, for instance, is a a great capsule wardrobe https://amp.reddit.com&#x2

The initial developer is probably bankrupt. The management company attempts to pass the charge to the flat owners (through a protracted series of letters), most of whom now live in the countryside because the rent from the London flat pays

Definitely my personal feelings. I couldn't imagine the practicalities of owning an EV in central London. Assuming you're lucky enough to own/rent somewhere with some kind of parking - good luck trying to get them to install

This is galling. I bought a new top spec Air earlier in the year to replace the one I'd owned since 2013. I hate it. The fan comes on about every 30 seconds (doing things on the new machine that were fine on the 2013 one). Literally no

This is an excellent comment, and anecdata aside, is very similar to my own experiences. Started a ketogenic diet ~3 years ago - was very close to FODMAP and immediately saw stomach/gut/sweat/sleep/general well being imp

To be fair, music streaming is still pretty decent. Spotify has almost everything, and it's just a few major artists that hold out for a 'Tidal exclusive' or whatever. But generally I think that however much upfront revenue t

I hope this happens in London (and other cities where housing is ridiculous).

I've just asked him for you. To paraphrase - most people take them up on it (nothing to lose). Some people never place an order, lots of codes are never used. Some have been used many, many times - but often they'll then go on to

I'd love to see what it looks like when it's off - I couldn't see that in the window or the pictures. Did I miss something?
