Re:Screw You, Microsoft Edge on Monday August 09, 2021 @09:31AM (#28116544)
As far as I can see, they surely are. The front page country-specific bookmarks in the Edge browser are with affiliate links, such as Booking.com, eBay, etc., and then after a few local suggestions.

Was surprised to see how bad the UX was when trying Edge on the Mac. They claim to be super privacy-focused, yet anyways I need to accept a cookie banner with many data partners to get access to the settings button.

Sent them bunch of feedback.

Re:Kids’ Apps Are Crammed With Ads on Tuesday October 30, 2018 @03:26AM (#18334487)
Airplane mode is the safest option for when our 3yo kiddo play games on the iPad. Unless the app is paid for, it most likely will be full of sketchy ways to make the kids press on ads.

Depending on where you are from there might a better alternative.

In Europe, you have Revolut, N26 and Monzo which gives you a prepaid or debit MasterCard. Instead of the higher foreign transaction bank fees you will get either Mastercard’s or interbank rates, which is so much better than your traditional bank exchange rate.

I have tried to list some options here: https://globalmoneyapp.com

Re:Ask HN: Do you need a big network to be successful? on Monday September 14, 2015 @03:23AM (#10213954)
Thanks for your comment Jeff, appreciate it.

Being successful have a lot of meanings, so it was more on a personal level if you look back on any successes in your life and see if you needed the (any size) network to accomplish it.

A friend and I were discussing it and thinks it's a very interesting question, which is why I asked here on HN as well.

Ask HN: How do you get into the mood of productivity?

Some days I'm really fighting with getting "into the mood" of super productivity and other days it's just no problem at all.I'm very result oriented so for me it's definitely the results that matter to make me feel good.How about you? Do you use ambient sounds or a special type of coffee to get you going super productive?

Re:Ask HN: What is the one app you use the most? on Saturday January 24, 2015 @11:02PM (#8942000)
Valuta+ - Currency Converter for iOS. I'm living abroad and traveling a lot, so it's important for me to keep track on the exchange rates when being offline. It's very minimalistic and simple to use.
Hi, actually I just need a legal entity to pass my online earnings through, I have a few online clients which need an invoice from a company and not a private person. There will be no employees or partners involved.

After reading this incredible thread, I think either HK or SG would fit me best for now, just need to know what will be most beneficial for me in the long run.

Re:Ask HN: Would you spend $ on 24/7 vet hotline? on Wednesday December 10, 2014 @10:43AM (#8729720)
Thanks a lot for your suggestions, great ideas!

I know there a lot competition within the booking area, but I'm brainstorming for a better communication between pet and owner.

I like to simplify all kind of services.

Re:Ask HN: Would you spend $ on 24/7 vet hotline? on Wednesday December 10, 2014 @10:36AM (#8729672)
Great reply - Thanks. I really appreciate it.

Good points with video and emergency calls, I guess it happens all the time and a lot of time could be optimised by using the new technologies for speeding up the process.

I will note all your comments, it's brainstorming for now.

Re:Ask HN: Would you spend $ on 24/7 vet hotline? on Wednesday December 10, 2014 @05:48AM (#8728602)
Good reply, thanks. In case you have a pet today, are you having any digital relation to your physical vet clinic? Such as a app with all communication, suggestions, pet data etc.
Re:Ask HN: How are you structuring your photo folder? on Monday December 08, 2014 @08:11AM (#8716214)
Great setup you got, are you having any copy in the cloud as well? - I'm currently using Google Drive, but their interface is a bit heavy for having a good gallery overview.
Re:Ask HN: How are you structuring your photo folder? on Monday December 08, 2014 @07:57AM (#8716172)
Good to hear & good idea to make the range of days.
