Can you share comp range?

Copy to another hard drive. Guess twice. Wipe hard drive. Rinse, wash, repeat. Infinite guesses.

As an individual, I almost always would choose a language I already know comfortably, and every other factor would come after that - unless I were setting out to learn something ne…

> I am much more interested in talking about steps we can take to mitigate and prevent misinformation while preserving free speech. How do you even categorize misinformation when w…

ASP.NET is pretty bare bones, all by itself. It's pretty much just a simple pipeline of request handlers with DI support (which is also optional). MVC, routing, Razor - all unneces…

+1 for choosing .NET Core. I'm right there with you. Extra points for F#.

Not at all. Keep in mind that YC startups are birthed from a very narrow slice of the tech world. .NET Core is very, very good tech and unless you need something super niche, there…

This would be more interesting if YC didn't have a strong inherent bias toward these particular languages. In other words: these are the results because this is what YC picks and f…

This is incorrect. Firstly, it's 10 per second. Secondly, it shouldn't be all that hard to imagine "side chains" or even "local-party networks" being built to handle transactions a…

This is very old news. We've been doing this in the US for at least 15 years.

I've seen some employers keep an "unlimited vacation" policy with strongly-suggested (i.e., mandatory?) minimums like 3 weeks a year. Having minimums would probably help with this …

I did talk to someone on the phone, and she indicated that this position is onsite. :-(

Why the downvote? The listing doesn't specify. Not sure how else one would clarify without asking.

I lived there for an internship once, and I totally agree. But: moving just ain't happenin' for me :-) Happy hunting!

Very interesting - on-site only?

Remote? Super interested, but not relocating.

They appear to only publish it by ISP. Part of my problem is not knowing comprehensively what ISPs serve my area, so I need to look it up by zip code or city.

1. When will someone build a tool like this and then open up the measurements data? A speed-measuring tool would be infinitely more useful if we could investigate the results beyon…

I would pay a hefty premium for a well-done dumb pipe.

I find exactly the opposite in my circle of influence: my conservative friends are actually more open to arguments from people who disagree with them, and are more likely to _under…

I used to work defense, and with a few exceptions, I always thought most people who worked at the company could have been remote without much problem. It's really not that hard to …

Stack Exchange (now Stack Overflow) has a lot of remotes. I'm not sure what the exact ratio is, but it's not too far off from 50/50 (in engineering, anyway).

Have you considered letting your senior people, whom you apparently trust to be remote, mentor your juniors remotely ?

Yep. I bet this covers 95% of cases.
