Why is this flagged?
Something is weird here. I wonder if for some reason the submitted actually included "[flagged]" in the title and so it just looks like a flagged article?
Aloha, I'm not on Oahu, but Maui. Pretty abysmal here as far as tech work. Been here since February, and now playing with the idea of looking for "real" work. Still hacking on pet projects.
I'm actually on Maui too for about 2 years. It is indeed dead here for tech work. There is some stuff in the Maui Tech Park.. Boeing, defense stuff. And I've see some job listings occasionally for work in Wailuku but it's mostly IT work.
There's tons of money floating around here, I feel like there's an opportunity somewhere to start something cool but it has eluded me so far. Good luck!

...and why can we still reply to comments on a flagged article? Also, normally I have a "vouch" option on flagged submissions, but not on this one. Something is weird here.

I work for a small company in Kailua building real estate websites. The tech community here is small but super fun! What's your skillset? Hit me up - kevin at realgeeks dot com
I'm primarily a web developer, been making websites since I was a kid and transitioned into that professionally years ago. I feel most comfortable and prefer to work in Python but I've worked with a bunch of languages.
The most recent thing I worked on that I thought was cool was taking all of the voting data + voter history from a state for the past 15ish years, cleaning it up, creating a database out of it then making it accessible with a webapp, allowing different queries to be run through the front end, generating stats, etc.
I'm going to toss you an email.
Funny I was just daydreaming about doing just this. Currently in SV but considering a move out there for a couple years before heading home to the East Coast.

The reason we did this: stories that have a lot of flags but also a lot of comments don't get automatically killed by the software. This led to confusion and a lot of "why is this post not on the front page" questions. Displaying [flagged] in the title in such cases should answer, and thus preempt, most such questions. Plus HN users like it when they get more information, which this is.
Similarly, we're now displaying [dupe] on stories that are marked as duplicates but not dead.

Hah, I definitely didn't add 'flagged' to the submission. Looks like it disappeared off the front page too which sucks. I emailed the mods(?) so maybe my poor post will receive clemency.
HN is for stories that gratify intellectual curiosity, which this one arguably doesn't. Plus we have rules against people using HN threads for job/hiring/seeing-work posts (except in monthly threads designated for that). Those are probably the reasons why users flagged your submission.
On the other hand, it's a borderline call, the discussion is reasonably good, and the Hawaii angle is novel, so we'll cut you some slack and turn off the flags.
I just moved to Oahu (Kaneohe) from the mainland, thanks to flexibility of a 100% remote gig. Worth checking out, and if you play your cards right you can get a solid salary to boot. weworktremotely.com, angel list, etc.
