You'd be better off contacting them first, before clicking on the join button. These affiliate programmes expect to see an established service - allowing them to decide if the service is appropriate for their brand and product - after all,

I'd imagine immigrants aren't so laden with debt, so they have more freedom. Many countries don't charge their native students for higher education, those that do, are often subsidised and repayments are linked to their earnings. So if you

It depends on whether you work full time, part time, working for yourself or doing nothing. I imagine full time people try to maximise their spare time, so reduce their sleeping time and effectively turn into zombies.

By repeatedly covering this topic, and websites like this linking to the source, it's becoming a self-fulfilling prophecy. Essentially, TC is partly to blame and it reminds me of when they went after last.fm.

Employers often ask questions like that when people hand in their notice - in order to persuade them to stay. And in any case, it is silly to keep your salary secret - that is how employers exert their control over employees.

Yeah, Archos is the main company I can think of, at least in Europe. They pretty much pioneered the portable MP3 player market years before Apple. Archos' main problem is they like to control everything and aren't that good at finishing/ref

That suggests his successors weren't very good at finishing the job he started. It's only natural for governments to become more and more corrupt as decades pass. When someone like that appears on the scene and reboots the system, their wor

Wish writers wouldn't group people by those arbitrary generation labels.

Whenever I read about these interviews, I get the impression that they are designed for recruiting students - that is, they are loaded with theory and don't test experience.

London is so well integrated that there's little reason to use a taxi. That's why you have to call to book one, because most people use them for unusual trips, such as going to the airport with a lot of luggage, attending an event with form

When reading about a city on Wikipedia etc, I can never tell how frequent public transport is, and whether it's good outside tourist areas. So thanks whackojacko and _corbett for your views.

My only real problem with Ryanair is no one wants to compete with them. They are a bit like a virus. Once fully established in an airport, their competitors scale down and move away. Worse still, if they decide to move on themselves because

An alternative option would be to cram the economy class into a smaller space, so they can have more space for premium economy, business and first class seats. That would be useful for routes between London and New York where there's a big

What about people who moved from European countries, did you enjoy it? Just something I have considered, but wasn't sure. Like how does the infrastructure compare, such as public transport?

Never met anyone in real life that says sequel, well, except when referring to Microsoft products - perhaps a US thing? Another weird one I noticed is some people pronounce GIF as jiff, rather than giff.

I would prefer to see something of more substance, like a feature comparison table with other frameworks.

by MC27 16y ago
If you wrote your own framework then you could grab an area of the code like a database layer, caching system, template system. If you built code on top of an existing framework then that's more difficult, because it's higher level, more ab

Sorry to pick on this one, but are these posts going to keep appearing on Hacker News until every Google service is covered?

Apple wants to be a niche player - where they can control the margins. Android's strength and weakness is that it's a commodity OS, which means phone manufacturers are falling over themselves to do their own model because it's easy and prof

There will also be a transaction fee from their payment processor and there's discount codes.

I don't think many people realise that using an internet service is like stepping onto private land. So, they then don't realise that rules on hate, copyright etc. apply to them while using the service.

One of the aspects not mentioned is that Digg was a tech website at the beginning. The quality of the audience, and subsequently, the quality of the content, decreased as they opened the flood gates to other categories. It seems like their

In other countries where unlocked phones are regularly sold, the retail price for an iPhone 4 is roughly between $1,200 and $1,400.

That's what I was thinking. Ruby, Perl and Python are all fine alternatives if you can find people with those skills.

Perhaps the biggest opportunity the UK had was when regional parliaments were proposed for England, that would have made the central government less influential and let locals focus on their main concerns. It was poorly implemented but an i

The Labour/Tory thing isn't that simple. The UK's economy is strongly focused on London. When the Tories (conservatives) are in power, most of the money goes to the South East and the rest of the country suffers really badly. When Labour

I'm just glad Spotify has last.fm scrobbling built in.
