Without context on how this data was gathered it's mostly meaningless.
Which is why getting an equally-skilled workforce in the same timezone at a fraction of the cost would be a huge selling point, would it not?
Add to that less friction around growing this workforce by bringing in new talent from abroad and it seems like a slam dunk.
Maybe this is a dumb question, but it what stops Aviva from publishing new prices every minute or every second?
> prices for the funds were published each Friday, and clients were allowed to switch funds at those prices anytime before the next price was published, even if markets moved in the meantime.
Publishing prices every Friday just seems like a formality, from what I can gather it isn't written in the contract.
> The cities considered the global "Big Four" fashion capitals of the 21st century are Milan, London, New York and Paris.
It does have fashion, but it's not the biggest by any stretch.
So random to bump into a fellow Terrace House fan on HN.
Looks good, but not a big fan of the autoplaying video.
If I could click a button and start playing the video instead that would be great.
Putting the link in youtube-dl and watching offline works for me.
Can you elaborate more on the "algorithms in JS" bit? What libraries/tools are they using? Why JS versus Python or JVM languages?
Midwest US - Columbus < Minneapolis < Chicago
Southern US - Raleigh < Atlanta = Austin
Right, but without an HQ there is no anchor.
I don't know if you can have a successful startup ecosystem without anchor BigCo companies that bring people to the area and eventually when these people leave they become VCs/founders/CTOs etc.
I hate talking on the phone, I'd much rather prefer an app.

That's only part of the story, India greatly benefits from population density in urban areas.
The results for ElasticSearch are from 2015, curious to see how relevant they are now especially given that the team has been working on addressing these issues in the interim.
Is it just me, or does 33 pages of risk factors seem pretty high?
Placeholder comment to calculate the time before Google inevitably shuts this down.
This was great, thanks for sharing!
You can adjust the F-keys in the preferences. That and remapping caps lock to control is something I always do.
Cool, will take a look. Thanks!
Until recently, MacOS was the only OS with all of the following available natively: a Unix shell, Microsoft Office, Adobe Creative Suite. The fact that they made great hardware also helped.
I guess at this point it's just inertia, but if there were a comparable alternative I'd love to move.
Very cool. Out of curiosity, what would be the best way to get involved in Nominatim?
That's not true, anecdotally I know people who did and if you search you can find many more examples.
You seem to be contradicting yourself: how is growth over 2 decades "explosive"?
Right, but that's because Microsoft hasn't seen the kind of explosive growth that Amazon has so it's easier to plan. Also they've been around a lot longer.
