dead for me

They did offer @facebook enails once, and it would integrate with your messages app.

It didn’t really take off though, and I guess was quietly withdrawn.

It's a pretty common model in many industries...

If every gym member visited the gym at the same time, they wouldn't all fit. Only a small fraction of the members use the gym at any one time, so it works.

Banks would crash if everyone tried to withdraw their money at the same time, but they don't, so the bank can loan the money out.

To me, stealing implies depriving someone of something.

If I take your car, you don't have a car anymore.

If I make a copy of your movie, you still have that movie.

Arguably, you're being deprived of the money from the sale of the movie, but there are already other terms that can be used (piracy, copyright infringement).

Websites will target the 10-20% of users who don't have adblock installed.

You've just described a cable car... Medellin has an extensive metro system and one line is a cable car.

http://www.dontclick.it/ is a super old (Flash) demo of a UI that doesn't have any clicking

Well, they're not in business anymore

There used to be similar housing above the arndale shopping centre (which got removed after the bombing in 96)

you pay income tax in the country you live, not where you work (i.e. if you were employed by a US company, but working remotely in the UK, you'd pay income tax in the UK)

Here's an interesting story of how some traders hacked the telgraph system in France, to get advance knowledge of market movements...

I've had luck with Recurly in the past (https://recurly.com/), I don't think it has support for Bitcoin though.

End to end encryption was added after the aquisition.

Something I loved about living in Bogota, was how easy it was to navigate there.

The whole city was built on a grid, with the east-west streets increasing in number as you went north. And the North-south streets increasing in number as you go east to west.

There is a mountain range to the east, so if you can see the mountains, and know what streets you're on, you can always find your way

a lot of FF programmes allow transferring of miles

Would you be opening to have someone work out an EU office for a year and then transferring on a L1 visa?

I find that in richer countries with more iPhones, Apple Maps is on par with Google Maps. But in places with fewer iPhones, it can go a bit haywire.

Here's a couple of Apple/Google maps comparisons I've noticed and taken screenshots off. First one in San Andres (Colombia), second in East Jerusalem. http://imgur.com/a/QgnS3

I also noticed that Apple Maps would translate street names, in lots of Colombian countries, streets are laid out in a grid. With the streets that go east to west called "Calles", and north to south called "Carreras" (i.e. Calle 69 con carrera 4).

Apple maps would translate these to be called Street 69 and Road 4.

A company I used to work for was offered $100k to release a Windows Phone version of their app, but they declined (because they'd be responsible for maintenance)

A reverse example in the US is money transfer, in Europe it's extremely easy to send money between bank accounts instantly and for free. But in the US it is more difficult to companies like Venmo popped up.

>Fixed it by using a single image for the whole deck and changing the position of the image to show the card that was picked

Couldn't you have renamed the file?

>On that note - I wonder how soon it will be before car manufacturers have 'app stores' for add ons to their internal systems. Wouldn't it be cool, for instance, to have a custom navigation app that you could install in your Tesla to supplement the factory installed one?

That's what Android Auto and Apple CarPlay are going for, I think that is more future proof than tying the hardware to the car.

There is a lift in Italy that goes horizontally and then vertically: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A739p5HkRZ8

@replies and hashtags (one of the most successful features of twitter) came from third party apps,

This light is an at intersection, the other three roads leading to the intersection have traffic lights too.

If there is a power cut, then the other three roads will have no lights, drivers there will treat the intersection with one set of rules. Whereas the driver on this road with a sign will treat the intersection with another, potentially causing an accident.

If you're using a Mac, you can now AirDrop from your mac to iPhone

With CarPlay and Google Auto you can get some of these features. What I'd really like to see is a way for a phone to get access to the car's odometer, that is how car navigation systems continue to work in tunnels (by using dead reckoning).

I use vim, I just assumed that when you open Terminal, a virtual escape key would appear in the touch bar. It'd still be in the corner, so fitts law would still apply, and it'd be easy to find.

>While this app obviously has a few incredibly useful-looking features, am I the only one who feels travel is best done talking with locals? Asking your hotel manager for recommendations - THAT'S how to travel well

That's kind of a pretentious statement to make.

If one extreme is arriving in a city without plans, and the other extreme is meticulously planning every detail out. Then the way most people travel lies somewhere in the middle of that spectrum.

As long you enjoy your trip, then you have found the right way to travel for you personally.

I could imagine a situation where we leave the EU and join the EEA on a "temporary" measure, giving us time to negotiate trade deals with other countries, and then when we're ready we will leave the EEA.

If the UK leaves the EU, and a European person (who is allowed to live in Ireland, but not in the UK) travels to Ireland, what is to stop them illegally travelling to the UK without a hard border?
