This varies. Big companies that are incorporated in many countries will just employ you in the most relevant country (including your own). Smaller companies can't do this (overhead, financial burden, regulation, blah blah blah), so the

You're most likely looking in the wrong place. The usual customary recruiting channels are setup to be usual and customary. You need to find the remote job boards. Oh, and networking, networking, networking.

I couldn't agree more. Expansionist policies at the expense of the incumbent population are less and less accepted. It's difficult to be convinced of this assertion when we have ongoing wars, but broadly speaking we are evolving

My hat is off to the author of this piece; what a beautifully written fair evaluation of two technologies. Kudos.

Heh - maybe you're right, and I wish the world were as you describe. :-) There is however a deeper underlying issue; decorum is important and communities that exhibit genuine 'niceness' are nice. Communities that allow, or w

Do you realize that comments like this are what is breaking the community here at HN? Are you aware that people like you are destroying something that was once brilliant? HN is going through an Eternal September.

I had an aw shucks moment too! api.predictthesky.org doesn't resolve, and there is nothing on the API GitHub repo. The landing page says 2013 so I'm wondering if this got abandoned. Would have been really neat to play with.

If ever there was proof that "someone out there has the same idea as you" is true, this is it; I've been conceiving an open to audit public, free CA for the past couple of weeks. It looks like my dream is coming true!

+1 vote for a relational alternative. I am a fan of NoSQL, and I am a fan of Mongo, but I'd love to have the power of Meteor with a relational backend too.

The tooling is where Meteor really shines. I must admit I found React to be quite cumbersome to get off the ground, in contrast Meteor is pure bliss. It hasn't all been roses; I've had plenty of obstacles to overcome as I've

Not by a long-shot; this was reported as a big deal (and I'd love to have more insight and data available), but this kind of thing has been going on for many years. Ask your local DNS admin for some war stories. :-)

Ok now I'm even more excited! Thanks! :-D

I'm very excited about this, but it's worth highlighting this from the FAQ: Q. Can I submit my own React Native app to the App Store? A. Not yet, but you will be able to soon. If you build something you want to submit to the App S

Life is too short to spend it being unhappy and unfulfilled. If the situation is as you present, then get out as fast as you can, and go find something you can care about with people who are stimulating to be around. Always vote with your

Agreed on this point. How will the balance of power manifest when Google, Apple, Uber, others with deep pockets start selling cars without haggling or BS in a 'car store'? The future is bright after all!

Not really, though I don't claim this has been a truly scientific study. :-) Generally, the principle relies on "if it's not important [1], people don't talk about it". In other words, anything someone directly or

I've been running an experiment for the past several months to outsource relevant news curation. It's super simple and super passive. Basically I only read news brought to my attention organically; social media, word on the stree

Couple of anecdotal factoids for you from a career veteran. #1 The tech industry is small. #2 The circles you move in are smaller. Keep it professional, keep it simple, and always resign with decorum. Many others have stated here the purpos

Bravo! This is a brilliant idea, and quite well executed. I wish you every success. Thank you.

The parent makes a solid point, and you're employing this logical fallacy, which is why I am down voting you.: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Appeal_to_ridicule

Nope, but from what I can tell from data analytics such as presented, this doesn't set me apart from anyone else. :-)

Airbnb is targeted at tourism, and passersby. End of discussion. It has zero effect on long-term apartment rental. The only 'disruption' this is causing is to the rip-off merchants in the old-school hospitality industry, who ha

Completely agree with this. Fortunately there are ways around this for savvy people. But yes. Canadian Netflix is poor, and the price should reflect the diminished offering.

P.P.S. I'd love to see the ability to add myself as a remote worker. I had to choose my closest major city, which doesn't accurately reflect how I work.
