Neither, this mess is going to take time to figure out, especially in the hopelessly-regulated world of cryptocurrency finance. It's a hard mess to unpick and understand, HN-ites are struggling with it too. Spam Fried should really be

The BBC has legitimate reasons to be afraid and they're historically an organization that reacts in this way. The approach of BBC Westminster has tainted the reminder of the organization.

Well, trying to figure out a way around it, which might be to simply run the whole thing from the UK. I'm kinda stuck with Germany, alas.

Having started three companies in the UK, I have never required a lawyer nor have I advised many of the people who've asked about to get one. The process is extremely straightforward and fast, which obviously helps in making it easy to

Generally in this case, the law would refer to a German contract, not a translated one, and there is no need for the two to be 'legally equivalent'. But the process should be clear for all those who take part and so much stuff in

I was warned off them three years ago for their pish-poor quality, so this is probably related.

My friend and I actually did this! We bought a Hoover, got flights to New York - I flew out months and months later in summer 1993 - and the Hoover itself we gave to my parents, and it’s STILL there at my late parents’ place, working. Hellu

I really rate Netatmo's products and attitude after having lived with their outdoor cameras for several years, and was waiting and waiting for this product. This is a real shame, especially for something that has taken years to create.

At various points over the last decade, I've been picking up bargains as one generation of camera type is discarded in favour of another one. This year I've bagged a Canon 5D4 and a Pentax 645Z. I have a Q2 as well and the one adv

They had an installation in Woolwich, London, until recently and I trekked across town to visit. OUTSTANDING. I enjoyed it so much I immediately bought some Kasina goggles to try and replicate the experience!

It’s a nice map but you can’t find the stuff you need on the map. Google Maps is a client for the catalogue, and more. I can find carpet cleaners near me, and message them and book them. I can find what I need anywhere in the world. Apple M

My 1989 MR2 could take it all, except being rammed off the road. My 2013 A6 is several orders of magnitude nicer to be inside than the 2011 Lexus, with a similarly better ride. Reliability isn’t everything. The 2001 QX4 was close to coverin

Met my wife in there, oo, some years ago, and I have been disappointed at how clean and shiny it all looks these days. I almost miss the days of smoking being allowed in pubs and the filthy mess they used to be.

Not sure the question needs a definitive answer, but anything that helps to preserve these pubs as pubs is a-ok with me. I recall heavy sessions in The Red Lion down in Southampton because we were acquainted with the owners some time back,

The weird thing about key travel to me is that the keyboard isn't an instrument, there's no control or finesse required, it's binary - you want the character or not. When playing an instrument like a piano, you want the level

Teams is a poorly-built app, a terrible experience and hardly any kind of benchmark for the quality of a Mac.
