According to this article https://www.wired.com/2015/05/feds-say-banned-researcher-com... a researcher was able to take use cat6 ethernet from airplane entertainment module built into a seat.. So it depends.

Could you expand top 5(or more) major pain points that it solves?

I think instilling values and ethics on society is way harder than making a new technology. This is why I'm rooting for "trustless" nature of cryptocurrencies.
I'd argue it's a bit easier in English if it comes to learning a grammatically correct expression of a thought. Polish or other slavic languages have quite a complexity hidden in "odmiany", "przypadki", and "koniugacje", etc.

Very interested in your case. What is your use case? What was your stack? What was the biggest downside?

Re:Revolut raises $500M at a $5.5B valuation on Tuesday February 25, 2020 @02:09PM (#22416185)
I wouldn’t say it’s “everything free”. If you purchase outside of FOREX hours you pay 2% on top of every tx. People tend to spend more when they have free time, i.e. on weekends, where the 2% fee applies.

My guess is that Revolut is doing just great in terms of revenue.

How cool is that. They have been able to grab and correlate netflow from across 20 countries.

Man, $15k/mo sounds crushing. What if you have a wife? $360k/y for a couple, this is crazy.
On the internet no one knows that you’re (not) a dog.
What’s the problem in flashing yellow for a longer period of time? Make a delay long enough for a driver to safely react. Otherwise why bother with flashing yellow anyway?

We have such thing in Ukraine(and probably other ex USSR) countries. There’s no surprise red light. You always know when it’s going to come and have enough time to finish a crossing.

> I think being a manager can be mentally exhausting.

I was thinking of management as a way to escape downsides of working as a programmer. For ex.: a responsibility for bugs that I put in product, failure to deliver on time, rush to finish before deadline and all other stuff that burns me out.

IMO they simply had nothing else to write about. This is the first time I see “how to” on TechCrunch.
Will it help to use VMs? Say something like Qubes OS?
