I'm on their early signup list. It's being made at my uni (Uni of Sydney) at their accelerator. I just love the app, It can't be wrong to share this.

Robin Hood is dangerous for the young millennial. Short term trading is really risky and if you have some cash saved up it can make a big difference in the longer term if you don't blow it up or lose it. Being young matters.
If you're in Australia and looking for something longer term access to Berkshire Hathaway shares or ETFs https://getfirststep.com is another service too [no individual shares] its more like wealthfront/betterment/acorns.
They fractionalise the investment so you don't need huge amounts which is quite nice.

Is there a particular reason most US investing startups require an SSN? A lot of foreign ones seem to only need the address/id (it's usually okay if the investor is foreign).
If you're in Australia and want to try investing in a similar way check out http://getfirststep.com.

I wish Lambda would allow listening to a socket [it helps binaries communicate with node]. This would move our team to use this without any further doubt.

There's nothing it can do more than downloading a binary and running it and it asking you to run it as root.
Except piping to shell is more convenient.

Compared with where its mosquito haven like by the Equator?
I suppose raindrop vs hailstone is a reason is one of the reason's the density issues are so different.

I'd like to see you compare the density of mosquitoes in colder climates to those close to the equator.
Comment · 11 years ago
You find them in these areas. When it gets cold there tends to be far fewer of them.
And compared to the equators its nearly incomparible.

You don't really find mosquitoes where you're likely to find hailstorms.

On a technical level, it's possible, on a practical level it's not. You can't get 100% uptime due to the unforeseen problems that will hit once in a while.
If the downtime was anticipated it can always be averted. Even a Fortune 500 can expect some downtime over a period large enough.
Take Sony earlier this year. The US government itself the year before.

It must fun be waiting in the non-RFID queue at immigration.

It is natural for issues for happen like this time to time. If it's not technology, something else. Australia's visa offices (DIBP) are on industrial action at the moment.

What would you tell Youtube or Soundcloud? They also foot the bill.
Apple is placing the value of artists work at $0 in a bid gain market share. It should be them who incurs the full cost not the artist.
When the music is offered on free, the prime beneficiary is Apple.
