    If you don’t want to spend 10$/month for Superpowered, checkout trymeeter.com. My cofounder and I built Meeter about a year ago and it’s fully free currently.

    For me it was just looking for a procedure that annoyed me so much that I just had to build a tool to fix this. Why do we still have to open our calendars, look through endless eve…

    I am, I don't see much a difference at all compared to my 2016 15" MacBook Pro for Xcode projects. Whenever I need more power, I just ssh into my server with strong specs and start…

    Really glad I bought this year's MacBook Air instead of waiting for this. Seems like a much better deal to me

    Not here, tuition is very low (<2k per year) at ETH (due to being heavily subsidized) and doesn’t depend on nationality

    I actually wasn't aware (I am not Swiss myself but apparently it was easy to get a permit as a EU citizen). Thanks for the info!

    Hm, at least speaking for my uni (ETH Zurich), lots of grad students from Asia come here for cheap tuition & good PhD salaries, but almost all Chinese grad students I asked want to…

    On Slack, you need to wait for your colleague to accept the call. We want to give users the option to be in an "active" state, where they immediately can talk to each other. If I a…

    I honestly doubt this, the virus triggered some events that will ripple through the economy and companies with WFH tools like Zoom and Slack won't be able to make up for the losses…

    I had the T400 and the physical WIFI switch was more of a bug for me instead of a feature

    BahnCard is great, but what we really need is an inner-European loyalty card for trains. BahnCard only works in Germany and I don’t want to buy another loyalty card whenever I go t…

    Might have been a bad example, I was about to book the TGV from Zurich to Paris 5 weeks in advance for a weekend trip and I have the Swiss half-fare subscription (like BahnCard 50)…

    For some journeys, the train takes disproportionately longer (Zurich -> Vienna) but when you consider that the journey is way more comfortable on a train (more space, ability to wa…

    Glad that they’re working on it, right now flying is just cheaper on many cases. Need to go from Zurich to Paris? The TGV Train will cost you almost twice as much as a short direct…

    Well the train network in all of Switzerland is great. If I want to go skiing, I just hop on a train towards any ski resort and arrive within 1-2h. Wanna go hiking? Take the train.…

    Great point! In Zurich, using public transport is just the way to go for everyone. High-profile banking executives as well as blue-collar workers. Works like a charm

    Zurich had this problem, the city was built before cars were a thing and thus it is inept of handling much traffic. The authorities decided to disincentivize driving cars by blocki…
