As a European I wish EU would fight harder to create its own tech giants, rather than fight existing ones (e.g. Facebook, Microsoft, Google). There might be some merit in better regulation privacy, data protection, natural monopolies in tec

Either self-employed (myself included) or create subsidiary. Hiring people directly over borders is legal nightmare. Though technically sometimes possible, tax complications are hard to follow.

Ad 0. I agree. Your article got valid point. I wouldn't do serious research based solely on complicated spreadsheet. Though in many non-techies things, like daily sales transactions it is a way to go. Ad 1. pandas/numpy would put

Looks cool. Looks like you did the hardest part of preparing new database for Meteor. Meteor pretty much requires JavaScript implementation of database. Having that, you can create some alternative to MongoDB. Keep up great work!

Well if you're concern is that they will take low paid jobs, feel free to put restrictions on that. Or be able for married couple to apply jointly for the visas. At very least making H4 -> H1B conversions cap-exempt would be a great

You got lucky. Right now the average processing time for PERM is 8 months (235 days): http://dolstats.com/ and it used to be worse (government shutdown). Also preparing PERM takes some time and it can't be speeded up.

Good step, but still majority of H4 holders will have to wait at least 1-3 years to get PERM and I-140 approved. Unfortunately, immigration situation for foreign ambitious married couple is really harsh in recent years. Even if both qualifi

One of the other use case is session ids. Pretty much you can sign: user id|timeout|user custom property Having custom property (per user number), gives an opportunity to kill sessions. E.g. session is compromised, just increment it and reg

FWIW that's why Meteor, which is nodejs based, is using fibers to have thread per request. Also hot pushes give automatic restart and browser updates out of the box. Also having optional synchronous api on server, makes a lot of things

There is a lot opinions on HNews that Meteor is too monolithic and it's bad: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8772563 However, that kind of projects show the opposite. It is in fact very modular.

That's a great news. I see ppl setup their own CI, b/c they need some custom stuff. With Travis CI supporting docker, it is way easier to do that with them.

Right now it's for fun, but the real-use case is to make more productive. E.g. be able to write test way faster. Browser-view shows at the end and whenever you write page.render(). Making setup smooth is solve able problem, I just have
