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.

Re:The Man Who Could Own Aviva France (2015) on Saturday October 06, 2018 @09:52PM (#18158445)
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.

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.

Can you elaborate more on the "algorithms in JS" bit? What libraries/tools are they using? Why JS versus Python or JVM languages?

Right, but without an HQ there is no anchor.
Re:Why I’m Bullish on the New York Startup Ecosystem on Friday September 07, 2018 @06:18PM (#17938088)
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.

The fact that The Oatmeal[1] has a comic on this means that it's more than just me.

That's only part of the story, India greatly benefits from population density in urban areas.
Re:Elastic files for an IPO on Wednesday September 05, 2018 @03:50PM (#17921325)
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?

Re:Ask HN: Why is MacOS so popular among developers? on Tuesday September 04, 2018 @11:15PM (#17914775)
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!
Re:Ask HN: Why is MacOS so popular among developers? on Tuesday September 04, 2018 @07:25PM (#17913745)
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.
Re:Why startups are leaving Silicon Valley on Thursday August 30, 2018 @11:21PM (#17882672)
You seem to be contradicting yourself: how is growth over 2 decades "explosive"?
Re:Why startups are leaving Silicon Valley on Thursday August 30, 2018 @10:40AM (#17877111)
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.
