No he couldn't have. He needed Bay Area investor money, he needed Bay Area connections and he needed the Bay Area press echo chamber. That's why he moved as a college kid out west to Palo Alto and not Nicaragua.
Yeah, that's the point of the whole post, you know.
It tells you what is it like to be rich, which most people won't be, ever.
Not to mention the weather... That is interesting, i d like to read more about it.
True but it doesn't negate the fact that they became Europe's biggest airline before that.

That's true. If he did, he wouldn't be sharing his lessons.

Thank you to everyone who has shared their stores. I have thoroughly enjoyed hearing people's perspectives here. Too often today, we think everyone else has it good and that's just not true. Everyone has challenges. I would love for more people would realise that.
Maybe the real reason was that it is cheaper to ban a customer than investigate the issue?
Thanks - so the main perk seems to be searchability and some social networking? Would be great if I could sample the search functionality before signing up.

Must admit I am not 100% convinced I need it - bookmarking sucks, but in Firefox I can use tags. Not as good as full comments on bookmarks, but sufficient to organize links by subjects.
There's a really easy solution to this. Don't buy junk you don't need sold by people who don't care. Who convinced you you needed it in the first place? That's probably a bigger source of noise pollution...
> poorest people were actually the happiest people

I saw this sentence like hundreds of times and completely disagree. How did you know that deep inside their mind? I bet I can manage wealth and be happier than being poor. Give me just $50M please that's enough.

I work in the R&D side of the company, but our front end team has built a really nice website to design CRISPR gene knock-out/knock-in experiments from start to finish. Its all free to use until the final checkout where you order your CRISPR guides.

Yes, it is [amazing thing?] on bbc.com. But the point might be that the HN title should the same than the BBC one.
Maybe not, but having, say, $100k in the bank does resolve a menial amount of issues that are not worth thinking about.

Do I want to think about buying a dishwasher? Not really. Do I want to do the dishes by hand? Not really either.

If you want to read stoic philosophy, having basic things like a dishwasher will save you hours. That's the only reason why I would get one: less time wasted on things I don't like.
I did but I think the setup for gmail didn't work very well and I just gave up.
No, I'm sorry, that is not perfectly acceptable behaviour.

It's not illegal - but it's also not helpful, or constructive, and nor is it desirable if you're trying to build a helpful community.

There are other ways of getting your point across, without resorting to insults such as "piece of s*it".

In Chinese, we might call this 家教 - or "upbringing". If you have no decorum, or class - it suggests that your upbringing was poor, or that your parents failed to raise you well.

We often forget that there's another person at the other end of the phone, or at the other end of our comment. In this case, a real-life person who put a lot of work into a product. You don't have to love it - but if you are going to criticise it, at least don't be a jerk, and make some good-faith efforts to work with them through the issue.

> Most people who are into doing criminal things actually have guns here in Europe.

Speaking for the western part: no they don't. No even close to the majority of criminals have guns (I don't dispute that they have easy access, though). You'll be hard pressed to find street robberies at gun point in Germany, France and the northern countries.
"Limiting beliefs" eh? God damn, I hate how wealthy people love their therapists so much and all need some simple dogma or narrative to explain their success. Though I guess I see poor people doing the same with finding externalized reasons for their lack of success.
But this now means that no Amazon reviews of this product are remotely trustworthy for the simple reason that they have made public that bad reviews risks getting your device bricked.

To me that means their products are now inherently suspect.
I'll join in giving kudos but I want to be a bit more explicit.

There are two categories:

Both are multiple good/service providers

Both are multiple goods/service recipients

I think the difference for something like Uber and Airbnb is that they embrace chaos. It is better for them to have someone take a different Uber or stay at a different Airbnb everytime.

The problem I think it's that you have to be sleazy enough to pull this off. You have to be like Airbnb with its promotion of instant booking going side by side its promise of community and kumbaya blah blah. I trust I don't have to say anything bad about Uber. Plenty of ink had been spilled already.

You want a constant stream (or late enough pool) of work and of workers.

Here's an idea to test: do employees react favorably to "quantization" of work?

Example: we think our conversion sucks because blah blah. We want to create a new set of landing pages and develop a way to show it 10% of the time. We want a whole new team to do it so it doesn't distract of full time staff from the fires they're putting out with the real application.

Just spit balling... Would love to hear what everyone thinks about it.
I think Singapore gives you permanent resident status just for buying a house there! Of course, buying property in Singapore is no small feat for most people.
$5m dollar, if you invest it well, will allow you to live a free life. The stock market on average returns 7-8% per year. If you aim for 5%, that's $250k per year right there. You'll even pay a lower tax rate on those gains.

To me, a rich life means living well, doing what you love, but not working too hard. Unless you're spending extravagantly, what can't you do with $250k per year?

There always going to be a guy who has $10m, or $50m, or $100m
trying to leave a message too :). struggling with my local number not working... hmm but please Tim dont let drm in. I know you may have some picture or think its "optional" or something, really? I also have a big picture and drm is not worth it.

I responded to parent; I am slowly moving towards that announcement that I've been talking about. I mean, the new folks (srn and adp) are not that different from me in terms of values, so I obviously don't want or need (and am not really competent with) corporate-speak, but I do want to come up with something that focuses more on the business and less on my own personal issues (and this note, well, focuses more on the personal issues. While I think it's probably appropriate within this thread, it's me whining on a personal level, working through my issues, not me making an announcement about the company.)

I like the idea of sort-of serializing the 'post-mortem' parts of the story; going through my diary and emails and writing up buisness-level and technical incident reports; enough time has passed for most of these that assuming I leave off names, it shouldn't be too embarrassing for anyone.
This is not directed at you personally, an open question if you like, so, what is not to like about washing dishes? What is it that you do like doing? Would that still be enjoyable if you spent ALL your time doing that ? Perhaps happiness is as likely found in a stack of clean plates as a Pilates class...

Show HN: How long do you spend in unproductive meetings? Meeting Analytics
I'm pretty sure remotely bricking a device like this would be against Australia consumer law also.

I imagine that kind of thing varies state-by-state in the US?
Mazement offers a data-driven approach to supporting teams towards running productive meetings. There is a demo which doesn’t need you to sign up on the site. I’d be really interested in your thoughts on the website and product. Ultimately would you sign up? If not, I would love your feedback as to why. :D
Even for many Americans living overseas, visiting the US requires more to think about than before.
I agree. If a company can't handle that reaction, I don't want to do business with them, so I'm at least grateful they made this public so people like me who don't want to deal with businesses like theirs are aware that a bad review may lead to insults and being prevented from using their product.

As I've indicated elsewhere: this event also means I can't trust any of the reviews of their products, because it's clear they are happy to punish customers who leave bad reviews, and at least some proportion of customers will be aware of this when leaving reviews.
I'm not seeing "British" anywhere in the article though it does say "UK-based team". I agree that highlighting the nationalities or country of residence of researchers is distracting at best and that your comment is OT for HN.

I don't quite understand your point. You can be remote and chose to live in a major city that's not SF/NYC/London/Toronto, or be remote from SF/NYC/London/Toronto if that's your deal. The idea is to be remote so you make the choice at your leisure.

Also there's a ton of really cool cities out there that are nowhere as expensive as SF/NYC/London/Toronto and that are just as fun, if not more (minus NYC), and way cheaper. And working remote, they're pretty much all within your reach.
I wish there was some mafia approach to rebuild a civil state.

Just shut out all strangers, isolate people who pose a long term thread to your community.
Shun the restaurant, where the cops eat, walk your dog to where the drug dealers are.
Create small economy's, which do not bribe, do not interact with drug money, do not sell to gang-members and "public" officials.
Have a cell-structured civil service with a anonymously voted for or against major.
This situation is not uncommon. [Reunion Island][0] is a French province, but it is not in Schengen neither. Any European can go to live and work to Reunion Island, but a foreigner with a Schengen Permit cannot.

Totally agree with this perspective. The deal we had - in the single market but not the Euro - gave us most of the upside and little of the downside. Soros is on record saying the same. The bullying of Greece by shutting down their banking system, and the special treatment given to French and German banks that had foolishly loaded up on Greek govt bonds was execrable. I prefer Brexit to Eurozone membership. But the Euro opt outs that the UK and Denmark have are the best option.

I already feel burdened by electronic gadgets, so there's little hope in me caring about having a car or yacht. I'm not exactly a minimalist, but I have discovered that the "experiences not possessions" news trope does apply well to me.

It helped that I started thinking about all things in terms of planning a design(what I'm doing and how) before buying anything. Besides making better decisions, it stops a lot of impulse buys. Usually the act of making the design tells me what I need to know, and possible alternatives. And the real bottleneck is often a skill I need to learn, not anything to do with money.
Clean plates are awesome, but I just don't like it. I'd rather take a walk outside in nature / read a book / etc.

If I had more money, I imagine I would probably pick up a new hobby. When my cousin sold his company, he bought himself a helicopter because he has a love for flying (studied to be a pilot, etc). It's good fun, but obviously also not a basic necessity.
Project: I am creating a database of all Finnish Instagram users. It's been a long and hard task to do, but it's currently looking pretty good, I have over 250k accounts that are considered Finnish and their posts data. Now to actually think what I will do with this data...

More info: I am currently building a website to showcase the data, but in the mean time I have a Instagram account where I for example once a weekly update what are the most popular hashtags in the Finnish Instagram community. https://www.instagram.com/iigeesuomi/
"Deeply enjoying whatever it is you're experiencing right now is the ultimate wealth."

This. Finances are currently a struggle for me, and work hasn't been all easy either, however I still have the ability to deeply enjoy whatever I'm doing - not all the time, but often enough that I feel happy in light of everything.

I feel a sense of gratitude* for that.

Not sure where I read this, but you're better off chartering something if you are unsure whether you'd like it (e.g. to try it out).

I have a friend, and his family owns a pretty large yacht. Finding a suitable and capable skipper that will stick around (e.g. more than a year or two) has often been a major source of frustration for them.
A huge amount of coding is reading code.

These tests don't test digging through code.

I've worked on projects where people role their own solutions instead of being able to use stuff that's out there and it's not great either.

The real solution I guess is talking to people and teasing this info out of them, and perhaps showing them some older code you have since fixed and seeing what they find in it.

Edit - one reason I personally try and use a lot of libraries is so that large parts of a project are maintained upstream after I leave my contract; the more I write into the project, the more the next dev will have to maintain, anything I can push back into external libraries is a win.

And I personally there is nothing wrong with being able to buy a visa. Many people in a country don't pay few taxes in their life. So when someone comes and invests a good amount, it is ok to honor this with visa or passport. Would just be cool if every country would allow easier immigration for ordinary people, too.
I assume this is a senior only position ?
not really the point. i think notch would be happy making something in indie obscurity. Of course, i'm not him, perhaps he wants more money. I doubt that. Monthly releases for a few hundred users might be something he really likes. i accept that i would never hear about that game, or ever play it - as you say it's a crapshoot. the guy just seemed happy making stuff that other people liked.
> What's the right way to design an IoT product to not be dependent on a startup's cloud servers?

How about providing a single board computer like a Raspberry Pi and the software images (or source code if you can) to run the software? This is obviously not a solution for everyone but it would probably work great for the DIY crowd.

That said, I'm not buying any IoT devices, self-hosted or not, in the foreseeable future. When I buy a gadget that opens my garage doors, I expect it to last 10-30 years with minimal maintenance. I have zero faith in a startup being able to provide even a fraction of that. The economics just don't add up, why would they give me any service decades from now if I paid them $99? The company will have to sell a whole lot of these in order to be able to keep their servers running and their clients updated to run on most recent iOS/Android. I don't see any technical issues in doing so, just that it's not a viable business.
It's quite amusing the see American guests on some of the ruder British talkshows, and see their reactions when some British guest swears, which often leads to more swearing when the British guests notice their reaction and choose to demonstrate just how much they can get away with.

It's pretty much a standing joke on some shows - US guests on these shows fall in two categories: those who are aware of UK humour and/or the specific show (often people who live or have lived in the UK) and who are "in on it" and tend to play up the difference and play up to US stereotypes, and the unsuspecting innocents who have no idea what they're in for, and who get pounced on like prey.
You would be surprised, how many guns are there in Europe[1]. However, if you carry gun, it must be hidden, otherwise you could lose your permit.

Breaking law with legally held weapon is a rare thing (who would like lo lose it, right?). If someone breaks law with the gun, it will be illegal one.

[1] Except Britain. They can legally have only long guns, without cartridges. Basically only for hunting.
I've lived in both, and I can assure you Sydney's startup/dev scene is far larger. For one thing, basically all the multinational IT giants (Google, Facebook, Amazon etc) have their Oz HQs in Sydney.
How to install and configure Varnish to speed up your Magento2 implementation
I don't agree. As a freelancer, when I do business with someone, I expect them to comport themselves in a civilized manner. If they're too thick or ill-bred to manage it, they can take their money elsewhere. I don't see why it should be different for any company. The exchange of money isn't a license to ignore standards of social interaction between equals.
I don't disagree or agree.

Does basic necessities include being valued in particular value system? That's bigger issue to me. What if you tell people that your lifestyle makes you happy and the rest of society disagree? So can we say fuck society, and not a part of that society anymore? Human are social animals, right?

I know, when you don't eat for a while, of course your physical cells can't survive it. But basic necessities things aren't necessary what affect our biological body but also souls.
