Around noon, once it gets a bit warmer, I'll go with the family on a hike to see the fall foliage.

I just came back from 2 months in Colombia with my wife and a 3 year old. You can definitely live off 1k USD in an intermediate city (not Bogota) with a very high living standards compared to the average colombian.

Medellin would be my recommendation, very safe, unbeatable weather, access to high speed internet, a trendy startup culture and decent level of English-speaking people, non-stop daily flights to major US cities and same time zone as the US.

Honest question, how is lobbying different from bribery? Lobbyists go to Washington, spend fortunes on taking lawmakers to fancy dinners and then get away with what they want. Maybe I don't understand the process and am oversimplifying it, but that's how I see it.

For me the most important aspect of this acquisition is that Automattic is a fully remote company. Tumblr's office space in New York City must be very expensive, I wonder if they're getting rid of it and transition everyone to remote.

Oh, interesting, yes this is "mauritius" in Spanish a not so common name. I didn't know this, thank you for pointing it out. I guess that list is recent as mauricio.com and mauricio.co belongs to regular people and are currently working.

Do you happen to have a link to said list? A quick googling returned nothing relevant for me.

Mine is not available either and I doubt someone paid $11,500 for an Italian name with the dev extension. How come? My guess is some providers are "reserving" them.

This is my most disliked feature as well and it causes the opposite, inconvenient effect for me: I add to my playlist a movie or show that I want to watch in the future, days later, I go back to my list and it takes me an unnecessary extra amount of cognitive effort to find the same item because it had a different thumbnail back when I first added it. So irritating.

  4. If we invest in you, your group is expected to move to
  the Bay Area for June–August 2018.

  6. Y Combinator doesn’t supply office space. We have space
  you can use if you need to, but we expect you to work out
  of wherever you find to live.
Why is it so important to be in the Bay Area? I get that for some interactions it'd be ideal to be there, but I don't see the need for a team to actually move there.
   "drivers would not have to pay if they entered Manhattan
   by all but two of the city-owned East River bridges,
   which are now free to cross, as long as they bypassed
   the congestion zone."
I don't think I understand this part. Why would you have to pay if you "bypass the congestion zone"? no matter where you're coming from. Now, if what this means is that you don't have to pay the $11.52 fee after having already paid the $15 (if you pay cash) for the toll fee coming from New Jersey, makes sense.

My thoughts exactly as how much confusion this causes. It has happened to me several times that I'm scanning the catalog for a movie that my graphic memory had previously located, just to end up frustrated at first for not being able to find it and angry after realizing Netflix simply decides to A/B test the artwork.

This is like having a vinyl music collection made up of hundreds of items where the covers change randomly. Please Netflix, stop doing this.

iPhone 7 10 years ago
  The high-gloss finish of the Jet Black iPhone 7 is
  achieved through a precision nine-step anodization and
  polishing process. Its surface is equally as hard as
  other anodized Apple products; however, its high shine
  may show fine micro-abrasions with use. If you are
  concerned about this, we suggest you use one of the many
  cases available to protect your iPhone.[1]
I think I'd go for the Black one instead.

We have already incorporated and has been a long and painfull process, but not as painfull as trying to open an account at Silicon Valley Bank. After some back and forth, they rejected our application saying:

    I’ve just received your info from client support and my
    apologies if no one replied to you sooner.
    Unfortunately we won’t be an appropriate banking fit as
    we don’t typically bank service providers. We maintain
    a focus on venture backed companies and typically teams
    that are local to our presence (based in Silicon
    Valley, SF Bay Area, NYC, Boston, London).
Just signed up for the beta, pretty excited about this!

It could be done at the airport level. If your last known departure was from point A, how did you get here with an aircraft that is not suited to fly such long distance. Not only that, you shouldn't have been allowed to depart from point A to begin with.

But again, I thought that something similar already existed. Today I learned, that it doesn't.

I would have thought that there existed some local or international entity regulating private airplanes and their itineraries. I would assume the same way you can't get on the highway with a bicycle or a scooter, these airplanes shouldn't be allowed to fly over the Atlantic.

I'm glad to hear that. The route from my house to the train station has a couple of gentle hills and my weight is 155 pounds. Should I be concerned that it won't have enough power to climb those hills?
