Those are cellar spiders, not daddy-longlegs (AKA harvestment AKA opiliones; which aren’t spiders, as they only have one body part). They do look similar though! I like to say that I’ve got opilionophobia, and just happen to be afraid of sp

It already exists, and has for years, and is called LocalBitcoins. You might be disappointed in how big the spread is at that exchange though.

Why are most “high-productivity” software and knowledge jobs in cities where land costs are high? I would argue that it’s because that land is productive! At least LVT would incentivize people to move to areas with cheaper land, or to inc

Not a lawyer. My company’s legal advice was that the TN work permit is in a separate legal treaty from NAFTA so it would take congress and additional time (and warning) for the work permit to be revoked, even if NAFTA was repealed today.

Tax land not wealth! You can't move or hide land, unlike other assets.

In March 2013 I was laid off from Research In Motion. It was my first full-time job. I got 10 weeks of severance (I'd been employed since January 2012), on top of the savings I had. I was pretty shocked, so I took a few days of "v

Have you looked at SoundHound? They have an office in Toronto and do some NLP. P.S. I'm in a similar situation. Want to discuss it by email?

Gotcha, I was thinking of the Green Card application. H1-B is dual-intent, so all above board there.

Isn't it the case that you can't leave and re-enter the US after doing that though? Edit: re-enter OR renew your TN.

My first full time job was for CAD 70k at Research In Motion. I knew other local employers (e.g. Google, Sortable) were paying more to new grad but I didn't care because I got to write C code and was hoping to sidestep onto the securit

The rational thing is to buy more cheap stocks during a downturn. The is called "rebalancing".

How can they borrow against that cash that's overseas? Wouldn't the lender be thinking that Apple has to pay 20% in taxes to repatriate the cash in the event of an emergency? Is Apple able to borrow more than 80% of the value of c

> Is it really the spirit of the tax code that $1 in profits earned by a business should really yield $0.48 to the federal government? But it's profits and not revenues. It's the government that defines what those profits are w

Indeed! But who is the greater fool in this case? The job-hopping employee looking for money, or the new employer willing to pay more for the job-hopper?

Right, so does the employer not realize that the Hadoop experi nice they require is valuable? Or are they hoping the dev doesn't know it's more valuable? It seems to me hat in cases like these thare employers are hiring and traini

But how is it that there is always another company willing to pay more? Do companies hire devs with X years of experience without planning to pay more for X+1 years of experience?

How much does Soti pay? How do you know it's bad?

What salary does Soti offer? Your points about the office location are valid, but do you know how much they are paying their developers? You make it seem like they are paying less than Google/Amazon. But how much less? Would your comme

Don't waste your money and time trading individual stocks. Invest for your future with dollar-cost-averaging and buying ALL the stocks (AKA a diversified index-tracking fund with very low fees (less than 0.1%/year)).

That sounds like Coventry, UK. The city centre is surrounded by a multi-lane ring road, inside of which there is almost no private driving.

To build on that, encourage everyone to get in the habit of using email and Slack instead of talking (Those who aren't currently remote.) For example if someone has some feedback on some code, they should post it in your code review pl
