Can someone not get in touch with this gentleman and just offer him a job already? Beyond his obvious technical knowledge and analytical approach to things, read through the comments here and you'll see a person who is levelheaded, humble, and seems genuinely happy to foster discussion with likeminded people. I wish I were a hiring manager at my company, but someone out there has to be. Snap this guy up before someon…

Erm, "someone out there has to be" in a position to hire him. I realize that it sounds like I meant that someone on HN was a hiring manager at my company. More coffee before commenting next time.

I have found using ShadowSocks [0] to work best for me here in China. VPNs create one connection for all traffic (which is easier for China's GFW to detect/block/slow down). ShadowSocks creates a new TCP/UDP connection for each connection that it proxies. My setup: Cheap VPS server in Hong Kong [1] (5USD/month, 512 RAM, 2Mbit port) running the ShadowSocks server (libev version). I have upgrade the port to 20Mbits for…

As someone who is pretty much oblivious to how the censorship works in China: Why do you use such a slow and expensive VPS, and why Hong Kong?

LOL! When you put it like this, it seems very impossible. But I've been doing the second part of it for two years, so if you need any help with that, just let me know. Haha.

Australia has a policy of capturing all metadata from ISPs. I suspect I might actually be more at risk of getting a knock on the door from our security agencies than you would be. And if I'm suspected of terrorism I can be held in jail for seven days without charge on a continually renewing basis. Don't think I'll risk it :-(

Australia is not going to arrest you for using a proxy, unless you're using it to do something else illegal. Let's be realistic about the relative threat level in Australia vs Iran.

Sure, but does he want to emigrate and do you want to go to the trouble of getting him a visa?

Yeah, because government agencies haven't been worried about Iranian terrorism in Australia since Man Honis took hostages in Martin Place and a teenager of Iranian background shot and killed a police accountant in Parramatta last year.

For myself, I know I'm not a terrorist, but transferring money like that looks mighty suspicious and it wouldn't be hard for the security agencies to get the wrong idea. They don't have to prove anything. Just ask Muhamed Haneef whether they make errors. Mick Keelty refused to even acknowledge the AFP treated an innocent man very badly. If you think a guy like the head of the AFP is this incompetent, then you should watch your step if you live in Australia.

It's not like I can defend myself in a court of law now, is it? Terrorism gets an end run around due process in Australia. And we've already seen how it can turn out - pretty fucking badly.

I'd love to. This is a dream that I'm striving for.

> do you want to go to the trouble of getting him a visa?

Now, that'd be a tough one for anyone to answer.

Ouch. No. Don't. :-)

Yeah. Crazy, huh?

And then the company that does hire him will be vilified here for hiring H1B workers.

Yeah, I very carefully didn't assume that he wanted to emigrate to the west to "enrich his life" or rescue him from blah blah White Man's Burden. He mentioned that (paraphrasing) he was trying to better himself in emerging technologies so he could get a job abroad.

And as someone in Austin who has seen how insanely hard it is to find a good culture fit despite a large pool of "talent," yes, I'd jump through hoops to find someone as humble and self-motivated. Unfortunately, I'm just not in a position to do so at my current place.
