realdlee··on Ask HN: Is there better airfare search than Google Flights?
Kayak also finds creative routes by joining one-way flights from different airlines.

any idea why the same flights are cheaper on Kayak?

realdlee··on Coinbase Announces Listing Date of Its Stock on the Nasdaq
No, it's pretty straightforward. If you're on Coinbase, you should switch to Coinbase Pro for the lower fees.
realdlee··on Elon Musk moves to Texas
This is SF small business regulation in a nutshell: a business person who wanted to start an ice cream shop in the Mission neighborhood has spent $100k+ and 16 months dealing with regulatory headaches.

Analogous examples can be found for remodeling/construction, etc.

realdlee··on Elon Musk moves to Texas
There are plenty of families in SF proper. If you don't have kids, you understandably aren't spending much time in parks, playgrounds, and kid-friendly neighborhoods.
realdlee··on Elon Musk moves to Texas
On a percentage basis, yes. But property values are so much lower that you're likely to come out ahead.
realdlee··on Apple, ARM, and Intel
These are pretty inaccurate or exaggerated statements. Real estate in Taipei is expensive to buy, but reasonable to rent. To buy, price per square feet is comparable to a high priced US city (SF, NY). It rains a lot in winter and has typhoon season, but can be nice otherwise.
realdlee··on Stitch Fix to Lay off About 1,400 Employees in California
I agree. Tried the service a few times and didn't keep a single item. A lot of their recommendations were actually from their own Stitch Fix clothing line, which felt like at best Gap quality for Gap full retail prices.

Which is your favorite paper?
realdlee··on Covid-19 is now officially a pandemic, WHO says
I used to live in Austin and have experienced SXSW many times. It's still an amazing time and experience. Take all of the comments with a grain of salt (including mine).
realdlee··on DoorDash has filed for IPO
growth is the difference. Grubhub's market share has been shrinking for many quarters, while Doordash's has been rapidly increasing.
realdlee··on Tesla stock explodes higher again, topping $900 per share
Much safer to buy put options if you think the stock will go down.

realdlee··on Apple Reports Record First Quarter Results
I still have a series 0 Apple watch that works fine and is used everyday. How is your watch not working?
realdlee··on Nike won’t sell directly to Amazon anymore
can you provide a source for this? I've read multiple articles on Amazon doing the opposite. https://www.wsj.com/articles/on-amazon-pooled-merchandise-op...
realdlee··on The Rise of the Electric Scooter
how do you like the Rev?
realdlee··on Auto Dealers, Startups Try Amazon-Style Ordering for Cars
This definitely doesn't reflect my recent experience in the last year. Got several quotes online from different brands. Costco pricing is a good benchmark; you can probably do better if you're willing to put in the time.
realdlee··on Uber Revenue Slows as Quarterly Loss Surges to $1.1B
care to elaborate?
realdlee··on Apple’s HomePod Isn’t a Hot Seller
$30-40 for average sale prices for Amazon/Google is probably more accurate.
realdlee··on Joe Hruska, founder and CEO of RescueTime (YC W08), has died
Not the first time I heard about RT, but just signed up! RIP Joe.
realdlee··on Launch HN: Solve (YC S17) – We Save International Travelers Hours of Time
+1 for Project Fi for international travel. Terrible for calls in the US, but great for international travel.

realdlee··on Startup School 2016 applications are open
I went a few years ago when it was at De Anza (2014?). There's a fun energy to the day and there are some networking opportunities during the lunch hour and breaks. It's worth checking out if you've never been and are nearby.
