I really liked Airbnb and was rooting for them ever since they launched. The stock never attained the peak it reached post-ipo (only this month it's gotten close), while Booking Holdings roughly doubled in the same…

I get it if you're an ads-driven website But why do agencies, municipalities, (government) railways or other non-ads driven websites need to have cookies, and hence the frustrating banners? My hypothesis is they want to…

I was aware that Google domains would move to Squarespace, and migrated my domains to Cloudflare. But now my domains linked to a Google Workspace are being migrated and the billing goes through Squarespace as well. I…

I'm looking for YT channels to watch when running on the treadmill I have a pretty broad interest I believe, though: preferably a channel which has a high number of videos and where many of the videos are 20 minutes or…

Hello HN, I wanted to read vertical like traditional Japanese but I can't read Japanese, so I wrote an App Script to convert Paul Graham's Maker's Schedule Manager's Schedule in a vertical format. It's not very useful…

I'm trying to learn more about expat life in Crete, Mallorca, Roatan, ... Facebook groups like "Expats in Mallorca" are a treasure trove but rather unfriendly to skim through as a human reader. Similar for subreddits. I…

Remote work gives more flexibility than ever. So where is the best place (country, city or neighbourhood) to raise a family? Everyone has different preferences so even more important than the place itself is the "why"…

Somewhere around a decade ago there was a lot media hype around their digital government. How's that project going now? Reason I ask: was listening Balaji on Lex Fridman podcast. My take-away is that governments who…

Around ten years ago Digital Nomads started to become mainstream. By now, some of them have grown up. Some even have children, including myself. Hence, I’m looking for the best place to live as a digital nomad with my…

A map to check which routes the A380 flies! They are great planes to fly on, but they are being retired left and right. This map, based on flights flown in last 7 days with A380s, helps you plan your travels towards…

Trying to see if it's only me, or many people. I used to be able to go through a full day and still have 50% left. Now it's drained at the end of the day.

My daughter is 1 year old. In hindsight the biggest benefit I got from university are friends and acquaintances. All the knowledge is publicly available. Do you think any meaningful alternatives to universities will pop…

I posted https://randomairport.onrender.com/ two days ago It shows up in Shownew when I'm logged in, but not when logged out. So my assumption is no-one sees it. It's not [dead] either. My assumptions are that: (1) The…

I like to build stuff, so much so that I don't build for others, just for myself. So I've set myself a challenge, earn 1,000 USD per month with a side project within 6 months. Doable? I would love to hear your stories…
