No it doesn't. Apple Pay can notify you if you've connected the Amex there, but the notification doesn't come from Amex app, at least on iOS. Edit: It seems the functionality is there, but it doesn't work for Contactless

I have lived in London for the last 5 years, and although it's much more pedestrian friendly than any city in the US, I find it less accomodating than other (admittedly smaller) cities in Europe. European cities embrace plazas and squa

Even if it takes 50% of your time, this is like coding for a dev - it's your primary job and you can't skip it. Andy Grove had a rule of thumb on how much time to spend on what in his book High Output Management. Summary here: ht

Playing devil's advocate here, but if this is the expectation, then it perfectly explains why the problem exists. If the company pays the training cost AND ups the salary consistently for the juniors, then why would they ever hire and

I don't understand this. If their problem is that they HAVE TO use Giffgaff, I can't sympathise with that - I use it myself and love the service Giffgaff provides. So this doesn't make sense to me - it doesn't feel they&

They are still better than the incumbent banks on security though. An example is how they both issued new cards to their customers affected by recent Ticketmaster data breaches, or British Airways hacks. After those events, they just contac

Not citizenship, but tax law. The US is the only major country in the world which taxes its citizens when they live abroad, so EU fcompanies need to know if you're one, so they can report to the IRS and tax you properly, or handle thei

> everyone has a lot of expectations about their partners This is the thinking you have to get away from. The expectations are not that great, and if you think they are, this just makes you more anxious. You'll be surprised how forg

And very capital-intensive. Most people would benefit more from passive but labour-intensive ideas.

Given how extensive your notes are on most of those books, it would be interesting to know what process you have to take them while reading. I've always been a very lean note-taker and find this is the reasons I quickly forget many val

This is truly great! I was trying to do something similar with the Portfolio feature of livecoinwatch.com, but they don't let you enter crypto/crypto trades and are much harder to use. Good luck with the development of it, but as

You ignore the value of all benefits you get from full time employment. The 30-50% salary is not that rosy in reality. You're assuming that you don't contribute to a pension, pay out of pocket for every expense if any, additional

Exactly! If someone hacks my bank, I can sue them and get my money back. If someone hacks the app using your library, I have zero rights. No business would take that risk and use your library at scale. Yes, open source is great, etc. But it

So who bears the legal responsibility? Is it the business which uses your gems or the customer? You're effectively breaking most banks' terms of service, at least in the UK. It's great that you've solved the tech challen

Even though the wording of the question is great, I think most people will take it as "Do you think disclosing a salary is a good thing?" Everyone would definitely be more likely to apply if the salary is good, but less likely if

The author has some very good points, but I think he's trying to find a simple explanation to a complicated problem. Of course there's no single reason for this scale difference. If anything, Europeans appreciate cultural differen

Velocity is relative, but slow growth contradicts the definition of a startup. See http://paulgraham.com/growth.html

If you want to know about bootstrapping, then Thiel is not the guy to read. Zero to One is all about growth. And bootstrapping creates small businesses rather than startups (i.e. slower growth).

I think you're misunderstanding jtheory. It's not about whether it's native or not - it's about using each platform's idioms and peculiarities which don't exist in other platforms. There isn't a 1-to-1 map

So a software engineer in Romania makes less than the average Romanian. Yeah, right. And the median income for a software engineer in Bulgaria is $25K. I am from Bulgaria, and I can tell you that is not the case. This is speculating, but I

The same thing happens to me. I am just starting to worry that "I don't mind not growing as old" is not the worse case scenario here, as you are implying. Apart from not growing as old, you may surprisingly fall into a situat
