I think that £23m is just capital from issued shares. Anyway, it's certainly not viable. I guess it remains to be seen how long investors will keep on chucking money at it to keep it afloat. Filing history, if anyone else is interested

I don't see the actual business case for this at all. Most businesses amortise a laptop/PC over a number of years. Would you rather pay $10/month/user for this cloud service, or spend the additional $360 (laptop/PC

I don't really consider the popularity of a thing on HN as a good measure of its real-world popularity. Take a look at the GitHub Octoverse https://octoverse.github.com/

Looking at the screenshot, the management interface is the one that's on the Ubiquiti website, rather than a locally hosted controller. I don't really have a problem with them putting ads on their own website. Use a local controll

I often find things like this to be workarounds for architectural flaws. For example, the 2rd part of the article looks like it would be better suited to a traditional ETL pipeline, with a staging table & upsert/merge in the databa

I am lucky enough to have worked abroad for half of my adult life, so it's ended up OK for me. I wish the opportunities for younger people were there now.

One thing I've always wondered, and somebody on here must know the answer :) When a HDD is manufactured, how are the disk platters initially seeded? Are they just liberally splattered with material & the tracks are created on first

I don’t know why you’ve gone on a tangent and randomly mentioned Apple? Anyway, speaking of unique identifiers in mobile devices, mobile phones have had IMEIs for ages - pre-dates Apple by a long time.
