One option is sole proprietor as a contractor. No benefits. Pay for your own equipment, office, telecom. Do your own payroll deductions. Ask for more comp in return. As an independent contractor the client does not create a tax nexus in you

How would you suggest structuring a startup with one founder in Canada and the other in the US from an immigration point of view? Thanks!

You switched your argument from one comment to another; it's unclear what your position is.

Diversity of genetics is not the same as diversity of thought. The word is being equivocated from one context into the other. It is an old argument that one's ethnicity determines one's personality. I can't say one that I sup

Yes. I am Canadian though. I have become more open to the idea that the US is a wildly different place. However it doesn't matter. For the individual person arguing a different point of view you can only succeed in persuading them if y

In my entire life I have only met 3 people who didn't believe women should be in tech. Two (one man, one woman) due to religion and one due to misogyny who was fired. It is better to see what the opposing argument really is which is a

Please. "No true Scotsman" is not even worth the time. It is a current left wing argument in the United States for "diversity".

Yes, it is hard. Try it and show your rapidly scaling workforce.

This response is too clever by half. Any traveller knows the difference between a Best Western and an AirBnB in terms of staff service quality.

I know it's popular in America to be cynical about politics, but maybe it is worth realizing other countries have their shit together and maybe just maybe it is the American cynicism that is a self-fulfilling prophecy.

That does not support your claim Canada has no concept of freedom of speech in the Constitution.

That's just allocation of risk to return. It can be negotiated and modelled in several ways; you're familiar with this: Some sales people make commissions. Some HR managers get salaries. Some engineers get salaries plus equity plu

I don't want to be paid by the hour. I want to get paid by the return I generate. The idea of renting your life to someone else for sustenance is at an anthropological level odd, don't you think? Also from a capital point of view.

Well, businesses come and go. Start ups come and go faster. Nothing tragic will happen if you accept that. I am sure you will find a job if you keep things in perspective. It is just business. However there is no reason to panic yet. It is

You write as if you are trapped in IT. You say you are burnt out. Perhaps the feeling you are trapped is coming from inside you rather than the world? Burn out comes from using willpower to force yourself to do work that you have no hope wi

Most novelists are bad. Most devs are bad. No one seems to know how to tell they are a bad one, but I think we have a good filter: do you voraciously read other people's work? Code in books is dumb. The real code to read is other code

This is already possible through the onMessageToOperator and onMessageToVisitor hooks in the Olark JS API ( https://www.olark.com/api ). I'm excited to see what people will do. :)
