dnohr··on Screw You, Microsoft Edge
As far as I can see, they surely are. The front page country-specific bookmarks in the Edge browser are with affiliate links, such as Booking.com, eBay, etc., and then after a few local suggestions.

Was surprised to see how bad the UX was when trying Edge on the Mac. They claim to be super privacy-focused, yet anyways I need to accept a cookie banner with many data partners to get access to the settings button.

Sent them bunch of feedback.

dnohr··on Kids’ Apps Are Crammed With Ads
Airplane mode is the safest option for when our 3yo kiddo play games on the iPad. Unless the app is paid for, it most likely will be full of sketchy ways to make the kids press on ads.
dnohr··on TransferWise announces $280M investment
Depending on where you are from there might a better alternative.

In Europe, you have Revolut, N26 and Monzo which gives you a prepaid or debit MasterCard. Instead of the higher foreign transaction bank fees you will get either Mastercard’s or interbank rates, which is so much better than your traditional bank exchange rate.

I have tried to list some options here: https://globalmoneyapp.com

dnohr··on Ask HN: Do you need a big network to be successful?
Thanks for your comment Jeff, appreciate it.

Being successful have a lot of meanings, so it was more on a personal level if you look back on any successes in your life and see if you needed the (any size) network to accomplish it.

A friend and I were discussing it and thinks it's a very interesting question, which is why I asked here on HN as well.

dnohr··on Ask HN: Where to Register a Company When Being a Traveling Digital Nomad?
Hi, actually I just need a legal entity to pass my online earnings through, I have a few online clients which need an invoice from a company and not a private person. There will be no employees or partners involved.

After reading this incredible thread, I think either HK or SG would fit me best for now, just need to know what will be most beneficial for me in the long run.

But I got some problems with the encoding, which didn't accept non-latin characters. Maybe encode it with UTF8/Unicode before sending it to the user.
