yeah, on second thought, you're right regarding Asia.... to a degree. I worked in Singapore for a while and a lot of people my age didn't live at home, and a few did. Singapore was a bit different though, it's bloody expensiv

Interesting! I remember when I first went flatting, it was 4 of my mates. So rent+utilities divided by 4 people made it pretty easy. and it's not like NZ is cheap by any means.

where on earth is it the norm to be living with your parents until you're in your 30s? Kiwi here, a lot of us move out and go flatting at the first possible chance we get - which is right after high school/first year of uni.

I too, bought mine in early 2015. It says it's not eligible. > September 2015 and February 2017 Which isn't early 2015 - that's how I saw it.

I have a cochlear implant, I'm probably locked into Med-El for life! :-) But as far as I know, they're not yet spying on people via my cyborg ear.

Super super awesome launch! I love your landing page, and have been looking for something exactly like this for a product I am launching soon. I'll be in touch! Great stuff.

I use this one! Love it. Does everything I need.

Yep, we definitely have to update that page ASAP. Maybe next time it hits HN we'll be ready. If anyone's interested you can see from my Mastodon what I've boosted from PixelFed: https://mastodon.social/@veb

I constantly boost my PixelFed posts in Masotdon :) It's such an awesome way of doing it. My latest toots are in fact, from PixelFed: https://mastodon.social/@veb

Wonderful article... but incredibly selfish. I'm pretty sure if I'd faked my death and then later on reached out to my wife, she would murder me and nobody would know.

I was wondering what on earth all the top commenters were talking about! Thanks.

A friend and I just launched an MVP a couple of weeks ago so people in New Zealand (and kiwis abroad) could have a VPN with PiHole hosted here in NZ: https://expatvpn.co.nz - however from the early users it seems everyone's

I've sadly been to hospital via ambulance quite a lot for seizure activity and that kinda carrying on. The biggest bill was when I received my $54 bill for the ambulance! Oh no. (St John is a volunteer ambulance service). So, I went an

Ha! Totally agreed. Super annoying when you click somewhere randomly and an empty task is created. Aside from really petty annoyances, I find Asana does what I want it to. I don't feel very strongly about it either way. If another prod

No. Those are auto-generated. Quite terrible. It really makes a world of difference when someone adds proper subtitles for the deaf/people without audio. As a deaf person, the way the auto-generated captions are shown is so much harder

This is pretty cool. Maybe you guys can add English captions to the video, as it's French right now :)

Just thought I'd chime in for this. After my cochlear implant surgery I had all these symptoms. I was put on the same medications. After a while I started having seizures. Over time, I managed to stop the tramadol, and the others only

Same here. My son was born perfectly healthy etc. We tried the whole crib next to the bed. Didn't work very well, so we co-slept. They both got a full 8 hours sleep a night together. It was great. I've never ever slept so still in

That article on rental friends makes me so mad. I'd rather know that my dad wasn't around than be completely lied to like that. Jeez.

I really wish they'd bring back some trams though. A lot of our roads are incredibly wide, they could still have trams going up High Street, thru Caversham etc. I wish Dunedin would spend more effort on public transport - I loved how m

Can also use a negative price! I wonder what would happen if you went ahead with that. Presumably the payment gateway wouldn't pay me $5. Seems a strange choice to be having those parameters in a GET.

I'm still waiting for one of these companies to show up in Dunedin. Dunedin Taxis charges me nearly $20 for a 6 minute trip home - and their app never works. Sometimes I'm waiting 25 minutes. Also, impossible for me to ring them a
