This manufacturer is in Northern Ireland, so they can use Euros if they want anyway. And current plans are for a frictionless border. The argument as Brexit causing it to close is silly, its grossly mismanaged.

I had no idea Bank of America closed its Canary Wharf London office and will "never come back" from Ireland.

This is incorrect. They pitched this at $60b but couldn't get a bookbuild at that price which never happens.
The key distinction with pitching to lead to the IPO is they sought to find investors (as opposed to wework management) at this price too, but not enough people bit to fill the raise.

This isn't the place for this. Get a lawyer and contact them. HN isn't a place to get in touch with YC companies for issues with them.

Maybe its worth looking at the cost to get devs for these languages instead of of the cost difference between them - as if you're going for cost saving the dev cost will matter more than the running cost.

All these things have happened before: Negative interest rates, 'the next' industrial revolution, quantitative easing - both in fiat and metal backed regimes.
Nothing new, not a single thing.

Except your country would be very poor, because you'd have either another country's currency, or you would have a $1bn trade deficit and little actual wealth - thats after you somehow get yourself some UN recognized sovereign territory

Why don't you get a HN clone that uses the HN api and filter out the URLs/hosts you don't like.
That way you can keep your preference to yourself too.

> UK and related systems (Ireland, Hong Kong, Channel Islands) second worst.
How do you even come to this. My experience with UK banks is pretty much second to none. Instant transfers with upfront confirmation with amounts well over 10k. Easy ability to split bills with URL, ability to freeze cards (even outside Monzo, etc), easy instant exchange currencies including overseas (yes a transfer into the UK from another country is instant), icons around my expenses. Account numbers are short and IBAN compatible too. Best of all the typical current account is free.
