I'm on a personal 4G sim wifi router currently and the results are completely wrong.

Dealing with "just a quick small change" from customers.

From everything I've seen I'm actually most excited about the tvOS updates. They're really turning your TV in your central control system of your house but also make it the central point for entertainment, in-house exercise and gaming.

They seem to have included a lot of the popular GMail plugins by default but also came up with some amazing features too - https://hey.com/features/

I'm really liking this classless movement. Looks like a nice basic template by itself for docs or a blog post in HTML too.

Because it's against their business model. They want you to subscribe and not come.

I hope that since 2015 this author has learned about interchange and realises that this is not down to the processors but to the issuers and schemes. This reads like a blog post about someone complaining that a bar charges more for beer than for what the brewery sells it to the bar owner.

There's a sentence I would never have guessed I would read. Makes sense though.

Eiffel was THE language of choice at my university for the "commercial engineering" degree. It's a masters that mixes engineering with business courses and has IT too but is not Software Engineering focussed. I always wondered if there are actual large scale production systems using that language.

Bloomberg recently did a great video about this explaining the unit economics in more detail - https://www.bloomberg.com/news/videos/2019-10-22/why-space-l...

Any sources for this? I'd like to learn more.

This comment didn’t age well

In a way I feel the MP3 format and the digital music revolution in terms of both easy of releasing, sharing and cross-device listening was even more significant than what JPEG did for photos.

Very disappointing and probably the least honest and transparant update from YC.

Cool, but not being able to checkin online is usually a sign of already being bumped, not the other way around.

So my best guess with my limited knowledge about GDS:

- You were on the same booking with an infant with the same name

- You were the primary passenger

- Due to overbooking people get bumped

- They usually start with comfort seats (both in your name) or an accidental double booking

- Because your son, probably underage at that time, was bumped the primary passenger was bumped too

Yeah, it's great UX to scan short links with your phone :)

> Maybe I could get a high equity offer, and if the stock turned around I’d stand to make a large sum of money. If it didn’t, I could quit in a year or two and go somewhere more stable.

If this is the intention of any of my candidates coming in and they call this "real commitment" to work for my company they would not pass the phone interview. Seriously?

On the one hand I recognise a lot of the teams and work issues this developer had. But reading between the lines it seems like this dev wanted it all, equity without commitment, weeks of remote work without formal agreement, a quick cash out over adding value to the company...Seems very entitled to me. It looks very one-sided as well. Everything had to come from the company and its management, nothing from his side.

I once put adding the recipients for an email to the wrong loop which meant if you were the last user in the database you would receive the email 10.000 times if there were 10.000 users. If you were the user before 9999 times etc.. only the first user that signed up received it once (my test account). So I only found out when the client called me that all their mandrill credits had ran out in a few seconds.

In startup failures: didn’t listen to my gut feeling and let my cofounder pile on more features and quibble about the design for a year before validating a single feature with a potential customer. We didn’t make it with that one...

Unrelated to the article but damn, that autoplay of the video and that woman's voice scared me.

Innovative? Do a quick google search for POS Lending ;). This is a standard offering for most financial institutions that do merchant acquiring. But I'm sure Stripe will greatly improve the experience.

Would love to see an overview of companies that fell into the mongoDB trap and have / are migrating to another DB store.

Just a mirror for the attention craving 24h breaking news cycle society where the biggest fear for most teenagers and adults is irrelevance and being normal.

For not having founded the company you seem to have had a pretty good deal.

Congrats on the launch even though this feels like a "faster horses" solution instead of something like, I don't know, universal healthcare like the rest of the developed countries (and actually also non-developed).

Interesting to see that it's not made quite trivially by getting an FTP account, mounting it locally with curlftpfs, and then using SVN or CVS on the mounted filesystem. (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9224)

I rather have them digitally. Also, can we leave it with the "just did x" titles.

Thanks for the /r/savedyouaclick approach!

Maybe we should have a https://notnews.ycombinator.com for stuff like this.
