Why do you want to relocate? To seek out opportunities that are just not available where I currently live. Amsterdam is a tech hub and a center of innovation known for X and Y... Your last experience? Not every project can be groundbrea

I'm in the US so contracts aren't common but I did have a company stall before making an offer...they kept calling me back for follow-up interviews and the manager kept saying he wanted to hire me but needed higher-ups to sign off

Most of them bill for more hours than they're actually coding. I don't think this is malicious -- it's simply replicating the salaried structure, where goofing off and Facebooking are still part of a work day. I am a 1099 c

It could be possible that you are not as good at JavaScript as you think you are (even if you are the best at your company). Even if you are a top 10% JavaScript expert in the applicant pool, if they interview 100 people they saw 9 people b

Whether it is blockchain or not, they will need infrastructure to process electronic payments. The last time I went to Japan I noticed a real lack of payment infrastructure that is common in the US (this may have changed in the past few yea

Why does it need to be blockchain? It sounds like what Japan needs is credit and debit card infrastructure powered by regular banks.

I think HN needs to consider segmenting, like Reddit does with subreddits. This would give more content a chance to get to the front page with a relevant audience.

You could look at naive Bayesian classifiers or logistic regression classifiers. There are libraries for both in most languages and they are suited for your application.

I was at $155k as a W2 software engineer at my last company...that seemed to be a ceiling for engineers in Los Angeles. I had to become a director of engineering to get to $175k.

But this brings us back to the same old discussion of whether or not you really own what you've bought. This is an interesting question that has new meaning in the era of always-connected devices. Decades ago printer companies sold t

I think the usual formula is maybe 1-3x earnings for small businesses (under 250k annuall, maybe 3-5x for a really reliable income stream or a record of growth. Yours might be at the lower end since you rely on a traditionally fickle income

For reference, I live in the suburbs of Los Angeles so prices are lower than in the Bay area. I make $200k and my wife makes $100k working part time as a registered nurse. Flexible schedules mean we can spend lots of time with our daughter

I can attest that I was much happier at $80k than I was at $30k, but not much happier at $110k or $140k, less happy at $155k, miserable at $175k (becoming director of engineering). Now I'm at $200k but it's the remote part that ma

Yeah it's a tradeoff. It's a cost-effective way for a small startup to get a Mac, Windows, and Linux version in the hands of users quickly. If they get adoption and money, it would be a good idea to then do native versions.
