My understanding of the "never tell them your current salary" advice is that it's less cultural and more "they can use it against you to pay you less than you're worth". It's a negotiation, and "never

We're doing exactly that at FOMO - we were fed up of missing out on great memories just because someone else happened to press the shutter. www.fomo.fm Get in touch if you need anything and/or have feedback :) shai@fomo.fm

I'm inclined to agree with you here, but if I may question a couple of your points: 1. Isn't Apple Pay/the tokenization it uses is a whole new ball game? The contactless that currently exists in the UK is only for transaction

The second question doesn't even have to be "What is the population of New York State" – a follow-up of just "How about the State" / "I meant the State" is transformed on-screen into "What is the

Your linked example is drastically different. Although the merchant only sees a virtual card number, Google sees, stores and charges your real credit card number the old-fashioned way.

Could you elaborate on the dozens of identical systems? I haven't yet managed to find one where no one except the credit card networks can see my CC number (and I thought the tokenization spec was only released 6 months ago...)

In theory (at least that part of) the process should work internationally. It is worth noting though that Google Wallet, which has worked with MasterCard PayPass terminals since 2011, is still only available for US devices with US SIM cards

Well done, it's great. With which tools?

This is one of the most effective, informative and attractive landing pages I've seen as a Show HN. The video in particular is short, to the point and effective (aside: did you outsource it or produce it yourself? With which tools?). A

That's still $60 a year, which is at least double the price of a simple reliable shared hosting package. The shared hosting has other conveniences too. I'm not saying it's without downsides, but there are cases for choosing i

Well done. Would you mind sharing details of how you got your press coverage?

This is an interesting point, but it assumes that one's 'purpose' in life is to work. That's a pretty sweeping assumption, and one which the guilt is predicated on. Any idea why you feel this way? Would it not be just as

Agreed (and can't really see the abbreviations being a problem – I'd rather have more space to see the game). The only other thing I can possibly think to change in BBC's design is the colour contrast when Netherlands play in

Nope, it tells you which team is playing at its home stadium (or in the case of games played on neutral ground, the team that is designated the 'home' team by e.g. a raffle). At half time the teams swap sides, the order of teams o

Again, sorry, I've got to point you back to the original article. The author explains the details of reCAPTCHA's known/unknown word-pair clearly, as you have done, but goes on to explain that the impossible-to-read word was a

The original article was specifically about reCAPTCHA, not homebrews, and how difficult they now are (something I've also noticed lately). Either give it a (re-)read, or if you're saying you were able to easily read the examples i

That's what it seems like - In the 3-4 years I've used them (usually to see whether there's a scene after the credits, which last time I looked was a paid feature but may now be free again) they've seemed to stay pretty
