Interesting, thanks for clarifying.

Another Swede here. I have never heard any of this before. Who told you this? I mean.. health insurance? You mean if you have supplemental private insurance? Mortgage? I have a mor…

Why? Many banks are already making lots of money, regardless if you know how they make their money or not. I definitely do not agree that "its about time" to pay for having an acco…

I'm just curious how people on HN keep up with new technology. There are a lot of new shiny things constantly so it is sometimes hard to filter through the noise. Do you read these…

I'm (very) annoyed that I had to link the account to Facebook. I tried clicking "skip this" (or equivalent) but that link didn't work.

This seems like a really useful tool! Would be very nice to have this integrated in the build process and get warnings for each issue found.

Lots of people implicitly expects them to be working in the long run. Lots of people will read a tutorial on how to get the cool animation X and the tutorial will only include the …
