You'd be better off contacting them first, before clicking on the join button. These affiliate programmes expect to see an established service - allowing them to decide if the serv…

I'd imagine immigrants aren't so laden with debt, so they have more freedom. Many countries don't charge their native students for higher education, those that do, are often subsid…

It depends on whether you work full time, part time, working for yourself or doing nothing. I imagine full time people try to maximise their spare time, so reduce their sleeping ti…

By repeatedly covering this topic, and websites like this linking to the source, it's becoming a self-fulfilling prophecy. Essentially, TC is partly to blame and it reminds me of w…

Employers often ask questions like that when people hand in their notice - in order to persuade them to stay. And in any case, it is silly to keep your salary secret - that is how …

Yeah, Archos is the main company I can think of, at least in Europe. They pretty much pioneered the portable MP3 player market years before Apple. Archos' main problem is they like…

That suggests his successors weren't very good at finishing the job he started. It's only natural for governments to become more and more corrupt as decades pass. When someone like…

Wish writers wouldn't group people by those arbitrary generation labels.

Whenever I read about these interviews, I get the impression that they are designed for recruiting students - that is, they are loaded with theory and don't test experience.

London is so well integrated that there's little reason to use a taxi. That's why you have to call to book one, because most people use them for unusual trips, such as going to the…

When reading about a city on Wikipedia etc, I can never tell how frequent public transport is, and whether it's good outside tourist areas. So thanks whackojacko and _corbett for y…

My only real problem with Ryanair is no one wants to compete with them. They are a bit like a virus. Once fully established in an airport, their competitors scale down and move awa…

An alternative option would be to cram the economy class into a smaller space, so they can have more space for premium economy, business and first class seats. That would be useful…

What about people who moved from European countries, did you enjoy it? Just something I have considered, but wasn't sure. Like how does the infrastructure compare, such as public t…

Never met anyone in real life that says sequel, well, except when referring to Microsoft products - perhaps a US thing? Another weird one I noticed is some people pronounce GIF as …

I would prefer to see something of more substance, like a feature comparison table with other frameworks.

If you wrote your own framework then you could grab an area of the code like a database layer, caching system, template system. If you built code on top of an existing framework th…

Sorry to pick on this one, but are these posts going to keep appearing on Hacker News until every Google service is covered?

Apple wants to be a niche player - where they can control the margins. Android's strength and weakness is that it's a commodity OS, which means phone manufacturers are falling over…

There will also be a transaction fee from their payment processor and there's discount codes.
