    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 networki…

    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 on…

    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 'nice…

    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 goi…

    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…

    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. I…

    +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.

    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 …

    Comment #9271342

    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 y…

    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 peop…

    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 futu…

    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 wo…

    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 atten…
