Yeah, I made the mistake of not quantifying that my comment was very city based where you can sit in traffic for 10 minutes and move nowhere. It's also based on the experience in Europe where the public transport, particularly in Weste

Fine, you drive between London and Paris, but I'm going to catch the Eurostar (tube and metro). You drive between New York and SF, but I'm going to fly. I'm not recommending buses, buses suck. European public transport is ama

If you're outside a city and hopping on a freeway, you're obviously not going to be able to walk that. I would never recommend more buses - buses suck. Trains and trams though, are great. I'll also take European and Australia

Ouch. That would suck.

It highly depends I guess. A 12 minute drive in peak hour in Melbourne on one of the walks I used to take was about 50 minutes of walking. At a different time of day, about 1hr and 50 mins of distance (using Google Maps to find examples). G

It's definitely becoming more common, I'm pretty sure some of the Paris Metro is now driverless (or remote driver).

If you can drive in 12 minutes surely the walk itself isn't that long. Public transport is never going to be able to compete over a short distance. I used to commute 1.5 hours each way on the train from Wollongong to Sydney. The altern

The convention has been in Las Vegas for decades so I suspect they know ALL the options anyway.

I don't think it's inappropriate to provide context to people that might not be across Yandex. HN is read by a large volume of people from diverse backgrounds -- not always CS and/or startups. I would not be surprised if some

The post says they had to do significant work to secure another venue. While it's possible the author could be lying there is no evidence of this so we must, at this point, take them at their word.

What dark UX patterns are you referring to?

The output you get from 99Designs is hardly better and this is the first step for tiny companies.

Indeed. The incentives are all in the wrong place in the American system.

I'll take the issues with Medicare (Australia) and the NHS (UK), both of which I have dealings with, over US healthcare problems any day of the week. Every healthcare system has issues, but universal healthcare beats the pants off the

Yes, Australia too. You can take my medicare system (NHS equiv) from my cold dead hands. It's the only way you're going to.

I use SingleFile ALL the time. Thank you so much for it. I Perma-web anything that I find interesting, after discovering by going back in my notes that half the bookmarks I'd added no longer existed 5 years later. I don't think I

Would love to see some stats on the number of companies that are prepared to use USDC vs bank transfers. I'm going to suspect it's low until proven otherwise.

Upwork and Freelancer are cesspits. Filled with people that don't bother reading your job and just spam your job listings. I'd sooner cold email startups asking if they need help (as annoying as that is).

Whining about downvotes is not likely to help. I replied to your original comment.

For the most part big companies won't be paying via stripe anyway, but even if they did want to pay on credit card they certainly won't want to pay with cryptocurrency, even if it is a stable coin.

Which is a lesson to not blow your money (I know this doesn't help those that are CURRENTLY in this situation). Tech people tend to think money grows on trees, they're paid far more than the median wage and that means they feel th

Not to nitpick, but it was US-EU-satellite, France falls into the second group not the satellite group. A better example might be Montenegro, or even Moldova, Georgia and Ukraine which have all chosen to head towards the EU (at varying spee

It got much much harder to run an email server because all the hoops that had to be jumped through to reduce spam made it a nightmare. I'm not sure I really blame Google/Microsoft for that. I have a pretty decent experience on Fas
