Cool app, just a few points. Love the elevation charts, really well done. One route indicated the lane cove tunnel in Sydney, a place where I can't run or cycle, I could get squished. Would be interesting to use long/lat co-ordinates, could

Thanks for the information, I think I'll be in touch about an account in the next few weeks for a marketplace I'm developing. Perfect timing too, I just started looking at our options for developing something similar internally. Would love

How would this sit with payment gateways from a PCI standpoint? An ideal customer would be an e-commerce marketplace, I imagine that Sift Science would want to receive as much information about the customer as possible, including credit car

Your employer should be able to get you on a 457 visa fairly easily; they just need to prove that you are qualified to do the job and they can't find a local to undertake it. The 457 binds you to that employer for the term of that visa unl

Here's my experience with the Australian Computer Society. Having studied abroad (Ireland), I was required to send in all of my exam results for my B.Sc, H.Dip & M.Sc. as well as a reference from each employer that I worked with in my f

I am not a DC resident, I'm not even a resident of the US. I have seen over the past few weeks a plea for help from a small organisation called Homicide Watch DC. They've been tracking every single murder in the DC area, submitting all cou

Interesting, I have the exact experience as you. My wife trained as a doctor in China, the effort to get the qualifications recognised over here is nothing short of crazy. Don't get me started on the Australian Computer Society. It took th

Disgrace is too strong of a word. If I was being offered a multi-million dollar round of funding that I wasn't getting in Australia I would be a fool not to go. Many who have gone in the past have promised to come back and give back to the
