This is a great idea. As someone originally from Latin America, I would definitely use it. Too bad I'm not in London to apply. Best of luck!

Re:Ask HN: Where can I live off 1k USD per month?

I just came back from 2 months in Colombia with my wife and a 3 year old. You can definitely live off 1k USD in an intermediate city (not Bogota) with a very high living standards compared to the average colombian.
Medellin would be my recommendation, very safe, unbeatable weather, access to high speed internet, a trendy startup culture and decent level of English-speaking people, non-stop daily flights to major US cities and same time zone as the US.

Honest question, how is lobbying different from bribery? Lobbyists go to Washington, spend fortunes on taking lawmakers to fancy dinners and then get away with what they want. Maybe I don't understand the process and am oversimplifying it, but that's how I see it.

Re:Verizon to Sell Tumblr to Automattic
on Monday August 12, 2019 @04:54PM (#20679898)
For me the most important aspect of this acquisition is that Automattic is a fully remote company. Tumblr's office space in New York City must be very expensive, I wonder if they're getting rid of it and transition everyone to remote.

Oh, interesting, yes this is "mauritius" in Spanish a not so common name. I didn't know this, thank you for pointing it out. I guess that list is recent as mauricio.com and mauricio.co belongs to regular people and are currently working.
Do you happen to have a link to said list? A quick googling returned nothing relevant for me.

Nah, it says "Unavailable" on Gandi. It seems that somebody paid full price, although it is not operative => mauricio.dev

Mine is not available either and I doubt someone paid $11,500 for an Italian name with the dev extension. How come? My guess is some providers are "reserving" them.

on Tuesday December 25, 2018 @07:57AM (#18757229)
This is my most disliked feature as well and it causes the opposite, inconvenient effect for me: I add to my playlist a movie or show that I want to watch in the future, days later, I go back to my list and it takes me an unnecessary extra amount of cognitive effort to find the same item because it had a different thumbnail back when I first added it. So irritating.

Re:Artwork Personalization at Netflix
on Sunday December 17, 2017 @10:13PM (#15949132)
My thoughts exactly as how much confusion this causes. It has happened to me several times that I'm scanning the catalog for a movie that my graphic memory had previously located, just to end up frustrated at first for not being able to find it and angry after realizing Netflix simply decides to A/B test the artwork.
This is like having a vinyl music collection made up of hundreds of items where the covers change randomly. Please Netflix, stop doing this.

We have already incorporated and has been a long and painfull process, but not as painfull as trying to open an account at Silicon Valley Bank. After some back and forth, they rejected our application saying:
I’ve just received your info from client support and my
apologies if no one replied to you sooner.
Unfortunately we won’t be an appropriate banking fit as
we don’t typically bank service providers. We maintain
a focus on venture backed companies and typically teams
that are local to our presence (based in Silicon
Valley, SF Bay Area, NYC, Boston, London).
Re:Pilots who risk their lives flying tiny planes over the Atlantic

It could be done at the airport level. If your last known departure was from point A, how did you get here with an aircraft that is not suited to fly such long distance. Not only that, you shouldn't have been allowed to depart from point A to begin with.
But again, I thought that something similar already existed. Today I learned, that it doesn't.
