The problem is that most users still don’t have password managers and actually magic links are more secure for them because they’re not vulnerable to password stuffing.

Exactly this. The Financial Times just had a good exposé on this recently about Visa and MC and the adult industry. The processors shut a huge amount of sites down because they refused to process their payments any more because some hedge f

I think Reddit is fantastic. So much interesting and useful content. It’s amazing to me that it isn’t full of spam if you think about how much of that there is on the internet these days so personally I think the mods are doing a really goo

Haha so we’re comparing paying $29 a month for Shopify to setting up your own high availability Kubernetes cluster now. Brilliant. This is why I love HN, never change.

Would you bother working if you’re losing more than half of your income before other taxes like VAT kick in?

Your rent is paid for by the government. It’s called housing benefit in the UK. You can receive up to £20,000 a year in benefits which is equivalent to about £32,000 in pre-tax salary.

You will pay 60% tax if you earn salary between £100,000 and £125,000. It’s not a myth and has been around for years. Then add VAT at 20%, fuel duty (approximately 50% tax on the cost of fuel and the duty also has VAT added to it, so you’re

Great post. Also the same age as you in the UK. Haven’t bought a house yet but feel the same way in many respects. The worst example of these tax disincentives surely has to be with NHS doctors and their pensions - the tax system is so dist

You’ve never run an e-commerce store, have you? Building your own e-commerce framework cannot be easier than using Shopify, it just literally isn’t possible.

I’m sure the author had a lot of fun building their app, but did they make any e-commerce sales?

Yeah, I thought this is surely to do with electricity prices. They have doubled or tripled in Europe recently.

I have FTTP in London and that’s how they’re delivering it - there is an optical box on the telephone pole and my fibre line comes into my house literally alongside my telephone line. It just terminates at a slightly different location in m

Pretty funny to think that Apple has been going on about their platform without realising that they run on the EU's legislative and societal platform. Which also comes with rules.

How is that the lady’s problem that you’ve chosen to run something so disgustingly polluting with a disregard for her health?

Yep it’s usually that or body parsers, that sort of thing.

We were nowhere close to losing hundreds of millions of lives to Covid. So much exaggeration.

> Apple has to pay costs to maintain the app store, the operating system for the app store, and the hosting costs in-between. All of which should be covered by the $99 annual App Store developer fee.

For sure, the Ruby standard library is so much better than JS and Rails adds even more great helper methods on top of that.

Sorry to say but Evan does not come across as particularly pleasant or likeable to anyone he corresponds with. Common courtesy would go a long way.

Finally! This has been a glaring omission for me for years and has prevented me from adopting Lambda thus far.

I’m pretty sure this is the case in the UK too - Pfizer basically immune from any claims resulting from side effects etc.

This is a really interesting move, and certainly one I've never heard of. As a founder/CTO it's something I'd love to do one day. Are there any other examples of this occurring?

Their quality dropped a long, long time ago. I would never buy anything there now. I'm wearing a plain white Gap t shirt today - only 5 years old and not worn much, but the fabric is very thin and has stretched comically.
