Looks really nice, but right now it's quite buggy on IE 11. I see a lot of flickering and it keeps scrolling to the top of the page.

I felt the same when working on iOS. I felt I was writing way too much boilerplate code, while Android and Windows Phone just gave me a lot more "for free".

Hmm, I went thought the questionnaire but I need to have had Canadian work experience to apply for PR. Still, it seems much easier to go there and stay permanently... From what I understand, if you work there for 2 years, you can ask for PR

It's not, we checked that before coming to the US. My wife was a performance engineer in our home country, and there was some discussion about her keeping her job and working remotely, but our immigration attorney said that would be il

AFAIK obtaining an EAD is quite straightforward.

The citizenship vs. birth country thing bums me. I have two nationalities and with the one that's not from my birth country I would be eligible to the diversity visa lottery :/

Would you know how hard it is to obtain permanent residency in those countries?

I'm with you, it's really sad to see my wife getting depressed for not being able to work (she is a very qualified software engineer). She is going to college now, but she still worries that when she graduates she won't be ab

The funny thing is that when someone is locked up for not paying their debt, the government very likely ends up having spent more money doing that than just leaving that debt alone.

Wow, this is really surprising to me, considering it's the UK. Sounds exactly like the Brazilian SUS (our extremely dysfunctional universal healthcare system).

But in the south of Brazil (RS) we just address everyone as "tu" :) Some Brazilians from other states seem to find that rude sometimes.

That sounds so different from their office in Porto Alegre, Brazil. It's a sweatshop there. I know a number of people who work/have worked there and they all say it's awful.

What about MRIs? Don't they offer the same benefits of CT scans but without all the radiation?

Summary of Mars trilogy: go to Mars, become a hippie. Ok, I know there's a lot more to the book, but the whole hippie-ish thing blew it for me. I stopped reading halfway through Green Mars when Hiroko shows up naked and the conference

Is it as bad as Brazil? I have Uruguayan citizenship but never quite "exercised" it i.e. I've never lived and worked in Uruguay. I grew up in the border with Rivera though, and it was a much nicer place than Livramento on the

Every time someone posts on HN that they've created a "Hacker News for X" I wonder why the hell they don't use/create a subreddit for that.

> A tech worker with citizenship is able to negotiate pay increases by threatening to defect to Amazon or Google, but the worker with the H-1B visa is forever bound to Microsoft under penalty of deportation. That is definitely not true.

You would probably make even more progress if you allowed yourself a good sleep schedule. If you "try to get away with as little sleep as possible", it is very likely you are sleep deprived, which leads to bad decisions and more f

When I relocated to work for my current employer, they put me on a temporary house which had three floors. When I arrived from the airport with a huge suitcase, I almost died of exhaustion taking it upstairs (it was really large and heavy!)

No, no, no, please don't promote the idea that having multiple numbers is a good thing. Coming from Brazil where such thing is the case, I can tell you the moment you have multiple numbers people have no clue what number to call on an
