I used to have this mindset... but then I realised that even if they charge e.g. $25 to a local and $50 to me, I'm not personally worse off. There is little benefit to me in bargaining my way down to $25 - yeah they might think they&#x

I have no comment (or knowledge) on the product, but appreciate the way you described this. It was similar, albeit a little more technical, to Matt Levine’s brilliant simplified explanations of technical financial subjects.

This is partially correct but depends on presentation - I tracked a phone to a house, they said they couldn't help because it wasn't accurate enough, I said I was going to knock on the door and demand it back, they turned up in ~3

I wouldn’t say this is radical, I think PG wrote an essay years ago with this as the core thesis!

My favourite story about this is from when I worked at an Agritech company - we were working with two systems using different orders - we discovered a highstreet store had the same issue when we discovered a bunch of their stores just off t

I think this is part of the case isn’t it? Amazon has been given a special deal whereby you can currently do exactly that on their prime app. I think it changed a year or so ago to allow that

This is a meta comment but I think something is a bit squiffy with the timestamps on HN at the moment - your reply was apparently sent before the comment you are replying to and then the tooltip timestamp shows as you can see (and the reply

Hey dalmo3. You replied to a question I asked a while ago but I can't reply directly to you there. ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24486487 ). Thank you for that reply. I solved exactly what you asked for. My emai

This is great. @deepbuilder I’d love to chat more on this, my email is in my profile if you would be willing to.

There is a delightfully awful feature in audis where you can draw letters on a sort of touchpad and it works out what they are correctly a good 10% of the time. It's a cool tech I guess, but a really quite awful idea for cars, both in

Great work on launching! I would be interested to know who the target market is - if you’re technically competent enough to know your react from your vue how likely are you to use a visual builder? I’m speaking from a technical background,

They're quite cleverly leveraging the invites to give them exponential growth, so it has exploded this month - it looks like everyone is being given 2 invitations. I'm London based and signed up for the waitlist in maybe September

The reply that's missing for you is that the UI is clearly (to an iPadOS user) heavily inspired by that of the iPad - they are making that the selling point: > iPadOS-like UI and UX And WRT your other comments, you're probably

It looks like YC pulls in the company descriptions from a third party service - which means that the Loom described here is not _actually_ the Loom that went through YC

That was a blast from the past. I can’t remember exactly but I think I went Frontpage -> Dreamweaver -> Notepad++ -> Sublime -> VSCode and obviously the other tooling only grew to be more complex (whilst improving sanity). I’m n

I believe this is placing emphasis on entirely the wrong thing. Page size does not matter. Render time/time 'til functional does. Stripe.com is 1.2MB fully loaded but is pretty much all non blocking so it feels as fast as a very s

Whenever this comes up I wonder whether there is an opportunity to create a govt specific browser (based on Chromium initially say) which abstracts responsibility to a specific vendor with clearance ala Lockheed or similar. Web is only goin

If you're not using components (react/vue etc.) then you can use @apply - I think the secret with that is to blend inline tailwind and the applied style so you might say.. .button { @apply rounded-md bg-gray-600 hover:bg-gray-300

I can’t tell you how much I recommend namecheap, the service you provide is excellent as a registrar. You’ve been my recommendation for 7+ years for hundreds of clients and as long as you continue in the path you’ve followed, will be for a

Interesting. I had the reverse experience recently of joining a (global) marketing company/agency as their first CTO - the goal being to build products to sell. The role was very much the same as the blog post - build a team, define te

This is not a wordpress issue and I think it’s unfair to put your problems at its door. The issues you encountered would affect you with any PHP/MySQL application if you chose to run the setup as you have. The optimum solution that I’v

I would imagine that that the point is less the practicalities of how it would than exist rather that commodities will become (as they always have done) the mechanism of trade. Before there was money there was just normal trade. In apocalyp
