Is (Google) search still relevant?

How important is the classical search in your daily life and/or for your product?Most of the tools and services that I have used over the past years were not found via classical search at all – and I barely use it to discover something new. For regular users, it's more of a bookmark hack – you already know what you want and search is two extra clicks between A-B.Nonetheless, it is still a huge...

Data driven development in urbanism and architecture

I have tangible concepts for design – looking for collaborators of business and tech. I studied arch and I know the field (not a super-pro, still); otherwise, I am experience design lead atm for a big digital...

Re:Ask HN: Online banks where I can open account worldwide? on Sunday November 25, 2018 @09:11AM (#18526925)
Again, Revolut is not a bank. I was told that my top-up yearly is 15k EUR – after asking if I can use R account for my salary (all in all I would deposit around 50-80k EUR yearly).

If I would provide documents it would maybe be possible to increase that limit – however, no one ever got back to me, after several requests from my side.

N26 works the best. I have tried many banks, from Revolut, Bunq to many traditional banks (I have 7+ accounts).

N26 offers very nice desktop experience too. It's not an argument that you need to use your mobile – with EU requirements and MFA thingy going on, there are very few services where you are NOT required to use your phone (none in my experience!).

Revolut couldn't accept my salary, bc it was too much money turnover for them (due to their non-bank regulatory). N26 has super convenient customer support (chat, very fast in my experience!), plus you can deposit money in common stores...Flawless experience so far (1yr now, using for salary and everything – thousands of euros in and out, not a single problem). Revolut wants to be everything, but to me lacks of some seriousness – e.g. customer support sucks big time (in my direct experience), all these ads for crypto and stuff...N26 is like the older brother to Revolut.

If Shopify for selling goods, what are the others?

Hello, I am looking for easy to use business enablers. I am looking for a great list of easy-to-use third tools, that you can easily outsource and build your business on. e.g., use Shopify for selling goods; use X for ...I am particularly interested in data analytics, processing (any given format) data (and getting various insights out of it) and data collection (outsourced IoT).

Re:Dropbox Versus The World on Monday March 30, 2015 @07:49PM (#9293435)
Proud user of Dropbox, lot of people around me using it as well, even received 50gb of storage with my S3. I guess I know what it does, but thinking about Business version - anyone here with any cons? Especially in terms of sharing stuff in/out of the company?
It's either app, or users are the product. When I was in Hong Kong recently, listening to talks about WhatsApp & Facebook, each person using these services was worth +- $48. Sub. fee? Anything like that.
