Unfortunately, even though 320px iphones look to be less than IE users for us, 320px may we'll be required for a long time for WCAG (400% zoom at 1280px).

Unfortunately, I _think_ the majority of it comes down to the exchanges more-so than the data brokers.

I can't speak to exact numbers, but I believe we were quoted like 6 figures/year for JSE and I think we pay like 4 figures/year now…? Exchanges can and do charge whatever they want…so when you need realtime data explicitly, even if you skip the data brokers, you'll just have to pay. You legally cannot use data for profit from some exchanges (if I recall, JSE is one). Some exchanges seem to have a majority of their revenue coming from data licensing.

Oh, then don't get me started on ISINs and all the failed "open source" attempts to not use ISINs and how some ISINs can be used without licensing while others require it.

My company is mostly AU/NZ (mostly because of tax, but quickly growing), so most of these data services didn't even support us until the past few years. We use a combo of like 10 data brokers to piece together coverage and we're still missing huge datasets (unfortunately Finnhub doesn't seem to cover any of them, but will look).

Luckily I focus on the Frontend/UX of our product and avoid this drama, but do feel free to reach out (contact via profile; I'm easy to find).

Good luck! I do like the idea of education, will follow. Even though I've worked in this industry for 5 years, I still find new stuff on the retail investor side of things. We'd love to educate more in our product, but we just partner with people instead..

My company pays a lot of figures for xignite and we cannot make this data publicly available without some restrictions (it would cost a lot more to do so).

My purely non-legal take is we can distribute price and metadata for instruments relative to a user's portfolio or a defined demo set of data or charts to yours, etc, but not freely distribute price data without an attribution behind it. I _suppose_ a user could add literally all 300k instruments we support to get the price data and that would violate our agreements (similar stuff has happened before, just watch it), but we'd just have to deal with the user via our TOS.

Good luck, unfortunately the next level of APIs for financial data and licensing fees can be annoying, from almost free to like 6 figures overnight. Some exchanges are much worse than others, like arbitrary pricing based on how large your company is…

I think if you use them 100% of the time alongside eslint dependency arrays are really hard to get wrong. If you rarely use them, you always get them wrong.

Nope, I have a repo consuming 10+ workflows, 3 shared actions, and a handful of private workflows (the way private workflows sucks now though, don't recommend–basically just a git clone into your Github Action).

This is all non-Enterprise, private repos, no clue in GHEC/S.

Absolutely agree. Docs are either perfect (5%) or…completely obscure (95%). I can't tell the difference between Github Actions and API documentation in places, but I desire functional examples. No clue where I built it up, but I'm comfortable now…lots of trial and error.

For a lot of Github Actions, I actually follow the Github Roadmap through to implementation as the PRs actually have good examples in them… https://github.com/github/roadmap/projects/1

I use a lot of composite actions in the same repo as well as composite actions across repos.

Eg. `workflow1` and `workflow2` both call `composite/action`:

.github/workflows/workflow1.yml

.github/workflows/workflow2.yml

.github/actions/composite/action.yml

The only missing bit in that is a bit more support in a composite action: `if` and a few other keywords. Also, it's a bit annoying to access private across across repos.

In AU/NZ think the default limit is like $75–$150, depending on the type of shop? With Apple/Google/etc Pay in AU/NZ, the same limit seems to apply as with chips.

Above the limit, with Apple/etc Pay, I usually need to sign and have the card physically on you if the merchant asks for it. I think even my Paywave card requires a signature if used via Google Pay, but a Pin without, but I almost never use that one for large transactions.

Above the limit with Paywave/Chip/etc would make you enter your pin (and you already have the card on you).

If you're paying for expensive things, Apple/Google/etc Pay is a bit worse UX in my experience.

Yeah, but you drown all of the automated noises out pretty quickly, it's just white noise. It's weird stepping into an elevator that doesn't talk to you sometimes; is it even working?

There's no bins on the street because Japanese people rarely eat, drink, smoke, etc while moving, though Starbucks/etc has changed that a little bit, but I rarely see those discarded.

You just don't have any trash to drop, you'd keep it in your bag if you did, and there's bins at konbini or vending machines everywhere.

Today, like most days, on the news they had more videos of Rugby tourists passed out on the street, replaying the subway video, etc. This time they had a segment about gaijin putting out cigarette butts with their shoes and walking off for like 5 minutes.

Haven't seen it any worse than the Rugby World Cup.. I don't want to be around for the Olympics.

A lot of shop and home owners clean the street infront of their land. After a typhoon recently I saw what I assumed was the manager of the Louis Vuitton (or similar) store sweeping the front of the shop as a ton of branches had fallen (probably took him 30 minutes or more, it's a very wide sidewalk).

Don't even think it's invite-only, just an unannounced "beta". I didn't get an invite and went to what I expected the url to be and was able to login just now.

Will probably never really use it over the Android App, but glad it exists.

Almost every older project I've worked on uses jQuery. Currently working on a large Rails app, some parts being 10 years old, and it's the same story. Old code is jQuery, new code is not.

It was spectacular 10 years ago, but now it's pretty much useless to me. Most everything either shouldn't be done in javascript or has a native replacement – at least with polyfills and Babel that I need for all development. I would love to remove it, but it would take far too long and provide little customer benefit (remove the library download), so it's only removed when something is refactored.

They've done it in New Zealand before as well, illegally (or something similar at least). It worked a bit, in one region, then failed. The result was farmers wound up fighting a massive population growth of rose hip plants which took over as much as the rabbits did.

At least that's what some old guy told me when I was walking through the South Island on the TA.

SEEKING WORK – Remote Pref / San Francisco based (in New Zealand for a few months)

I do mostly Frontend freelancing and Shipping Logistics consulting.

8+ years professional experience and many more as a hobby (self-taught). Started full-stack, prefer frontend ui design + implementation. After some minor exits and unsuccessful ventures, I turned to freelancing for other people as I enjoy working in that sort of ecosystem. Worked in ecommerce, food, and logistics verticals but will try anything interesting.

Current Stack: ESNext, React, Redux, Node, Scss/CSS Modules/Postcss, Webpack, NPM, Git. Experience in AngularJS (1.x), RoR, PHP, and more..

Latest Project: Warehouse Management + Ordering Platform for the sustainable seafood company in SF.

Having had the Macbook 12" for a year and a half now and a Nexus 6p for a year, it's really been quite wonderful. I can charge my laptop or phone using the same charger – of course not as fast as the OEM charger, but wonderful for being on the move. I love that I can use a typical battery backup to charge my Macbook. I really wish everything of mine USB-C, and it will be soon.

Right now it feels wonderful with OEM chargers, but you do have me worried about the future buying replacements and accessories.

It's in the FAQ, a bit hidden..

Here's a list of features that have been requested of us that we WON'T be considering for our Kickstarter model (but maybe in the future):

- Audio speakers (trust us, the ones on your phone are much better than any speaker we could source affordably)

I bought my 180GB SSDs for < 50 cents per GB like 3 years ago and it's barely better than that right now. Storage in general has more to do with availability and demand than technology, there's plenty of times when they've gone up in price.

I just use Google. Keep, Gmail, Calendar for most things. I have a few text documents for recording important information I keep in Google Drive as well. Emails and sometimes even pitches / speeches I keep in gmail as a draft. Used Evernote for a while, but it's just bloat, I don't need another app.

I often have a text file open on my computer that I write quick notes in. Most of my knowledge that isn't like a random reminder note lives in my head though, I'm pretty solid on my memory.

We use Trello for business, so I keep anything business related in there, so other people have access to it if need be.
