    So many seem to have made a similar move. But the one thing holding me back: starting with a new email address. My email address is not just for email. It's so firmly embedded in m…

    This is a problem specific to the US. The price of your health insurance is very far from the actual cost of it to providers.

    The UK has 3 of the top 10 universities in the world: https://www.timeshighereducation.com/world-university-rankin... It's a talent pool that many big employers want to tap into ac…

    Can you walk me through this argument for a customer service agent? The jobs where the nuance and variety isn’t there and don’t involve physical interaction are completely differen…

    Did you read the entire article? That's exactly the point it's making, but you decided to pick on the word "timetable"

    I've seen this done multiple times too. It works until the human forgets about it, or knowledge is lost through collective organisational forgetfulness or churn. And the outages st…

    GBP and EUR volumes are pretty similar (just north of 500K atm). I find this interesting. How can one country equal sales of the whole Eurozone? Is that more showing of commerce ac…

    My parents had one. My dad’s first car and I think the first one I drove too. I have a photo in front of it as a baby. It lasted until I was 16 to drive it, so draw your own conclu…

    Understanding everything before you get into it is overrated. Belief is a necessary requirement to move the world forward. And that in itself requires some naivety. Otherwise those…

    People have already pointed out that there's no direct correlation between "safe" and "open-source" in the other comments. I agree. But one other reason I think this is flawed is t…

    Honest question - monitoring air quality accurately is great, but monitoring doesn't solve problems. Once you know it's bad, what do you do? I've been wondering what's the point of…

    If you look at this moment 10 years from now, you'd be surprised how early it is for you. Eric Yuan founded Zoom at the age of 41. David Baszucki was 41 years old when he created R…

    Thanks for sharing this! It's quite the motivational kick for me and more people need to see it.

    I still use a 2012 air. It has been demoted in the food chain (so no longer main laptop), but it’s mind blowing how well it still works for basic browsing. Maybe time I replace wit…

    Ask HN: Best private email on your own domain in 2022?

    It seems that these days email isn't just a means of communication, but it also serves as our identity. I've been using Gmail forever, but trust Google less and less given their st…

    Well... I agree with the spirit of the effort, but not the letter of it. >>> From spring 2026, the obligation will extend to laptops So this would force Apple to replace MagSafe wi…

    If you're joking: Haha If you're serious and this is the conclusion you reached from Celsius going bankrupt: good luck!

    AFAIK, none of this is true. Banks are required by law to provide open APIs with solid authentication mechanisms, apps usually access them via aggregators and never request your ba…

    I understand, but that's still somewhat manual (compared to an API and a client pulling data from it without user involvement)

    This comes up on the homepage consistently about every 6 months or so. I am not sure why. Every time it does, it's obvious it has devoted fans and bitter enemies. The biggest probl…

    The whole economy is intertwined. This is a very simplistic way of looking at it, but if you can park risk-free capital somewhere which generates high interest, the opportunity cos…

    This is genius. Attention to detail and quality of the writing and delivery is amazing. The fact that the watch in the first animation also shows accurate time reminds me of the 9:…

    Many conflicting viewpoints here. Sure, there's been less of a push from Russia than everyone expected, but it's not like Ukraine controls the sky either. Are Ukranians really stil…

    (I worked at Telerik until 2014). They were acquired by Progress software later that year for $262m, so no longer independent nor a unicorn. Still one of the biggest successes. The…
