Depends where in Canada. Many large software companies here will pay ~3k CAD per month or less.

Awesome stuff! I'm a fan of AMS and I was excited to hear about Stream and had a hunch that it was AMS. Looking forward to trialing it!

This is pure speculation, but I'm thinking they leveraged Azure Media Services[1] to deliver Stream, perhaps partially as a hero story for Azure. I feel like it's way too quick for them to have built an entire solution based off t

Pixelating and blurring images has long been known to be insufficient in completely obscuring information [1]. In fact, in a lot of computer vision work, the image resolution is reduced to ignore noise and facilitate the workload for algori

On a similar note, startups can take advantage of the Azure credits through Microsoft's BizSpark program[1], which is essentially a handful of free MSDN subscriptions. [1] http://bizspark.microsoft.com/default.aspx

TL;DR: build a quick ruby/node.js blog/personal website, a quick game in unity, a minecraft mod, or a small raspberry Pi robot. I worked in this area while I was at Microsoft. There are two strategies I used to reach out to studen

Commenting out the print(response.text) on line 79 of api.py should bypass the issue (or at least did so for me).

That wasn't actually the case. There were issues with black clothing and low lighting, but it works fine with dark skin tones. http://www.businessinsider.com/microsofts-kinect-has-trouble...

I am looking to build the project myself, but I am always open to working with others. I've worked on all ends, front and back. I'm willing to look at any platform, learning something new is part of my goal here. I'm not so m

Not sure if this qualifies as similar to PG, but I'd throw in Joel Spolsky of Trello and StackOverflow fame ( http://www.joelonsoftware.com/ ) in there. He doesn't blog anymore, but there's a decade's wort

Fantastic writing. Reminds me a bit of "Microserfs", but somewhat more focused.

Perhaps your company has some open evangelism/developer advocate positions you can consider? The job description varies from company to company, but at my last gig it typically meant being a technical person working hand in hand with t

I noticed that TD had a white label solution for Beanstream on their site. Would it be better to go through TD and snag a merchant account in the process or to Beanstream directly? Thanks for bringing up beanstream by the way. I saw them ea

Thanks for this nugget of knowledge. Wasn't aware it was possible to negotiate the rate down unless you were a BigCo. 1.7% is impressive, that's the rate we had for our brick and mortar restaurant in the past. We're not doing

What exactly is an ACH solution? Is it this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automated_Clearing_House Seems like it's US only, unfortunately we're Canada only. This sounds really cool though, thanks for the fin

Someone posted a blog post of mine that reached the 3rd-2nd spot on HN for much of a day. The aggregate number of unique views I received on it were about 200k. I say aggregate because the number wasn't entirely from HN directly, but i

This is nice and long due regardless of DigitalOcean's actual merits. AWS, Google (100k), IBM (120k) and Microsoft (500k) all offer credits to YC companies. More options will compel cloud providers to provide better service offerings t

Thanks for the advice. I guess it doesn't hurt me to give it a shot. The worse a recruiter can say to me is no. There seems to be no shortage of available COBOL positions at the major banks and telecoms where I live.

I suppose you're right. After going through some publicly available COBOL salaries in Canada, it seems the salaries for senior COBOL positions were about what I was able to ask for as a junior frontend developer (50-60$/h CAD). I
