If you have a family or you have a chronic illness, working at a big company -- at least in the US -- generally means better health benefits. I'd wager that health insurance alone is the most compelling reason why many people choose big companies over startups.
I mean if this is true we'd expect to see more startups out of Europe, Australia, New Zealand and the UK. Maybe the stats bear that out I dunno. I do know that the ACA has been credited by lots of folks as the reason they were able to start a company.
Anyone have details on how exactly he did it, and how he got caught? I'm not a lottery player but I'm intrigued by the fact that one state had refused to pay him because they thought it was fraudulent. What was their cue?
Doesn't it make sense to be specific with the currency you are talking about on an international forum? I realise the US is the worlds most powerful country with a very important currency, but it doesn't follow that we should always just assume that any currency spoken about is USD.
It does make sense to be specific, but I find the only people who aren't specific are usually Americans so we can assume these figures are USD.
While this forum does have people from all over the world (I'm living in London), it also is a forum headquarted by a seed accelerator based in the US.
The difference between the west and Japan in regard to change trays is that in the west (US, Canada, Europe, etc.) they're often available in a small subset of cash payment scenarios, but in Japan they're always available in every cash payment scenario. Not to mention that even when they are available in the west, they're rarely used, but in Japan they're always used. I've lived in the US, Spain, and Japan for considerable periods of time, and the level to which they're available and customarily used in Japan is what makes them such a noteworthy use case.
Any chance you'd consider open-sourcing the code, or at least the horizontal calendar portion? This would be incredibly useful in a number of applications.
Does anyone know of an open-source/forkable alternative that comes close to matching the functionality here? Not necessarily the searching piece, just the note management and content editing screens. I've seen a number of them fly by on HN over the past several months, but didn't capture any of the links.
I love this. We'll be in San Francisco this weekend and will definitely use it! I'd love to help you port this to work here in New York, too. Let me know.
