Whenever a company has got a "Python" tag, there's a "Pyth" tag right before that, I assume that's a typo?

Why should remote mean global?
"Should" is a loaded word that I won't address, but commonly "work from home" is the term used when you're still located near the office, vs. "remote" which is where you're nowhere near an office.
I'd guess, many people wouldn't commute more than 1h to work every day. So, I'd say, "remote" is everything out of that range.

"Know your customer" ... these are jobs on the internet, building the internet, for users on the internet. And because the internet is global.
> And because the internet is global
Unfortunately, getting less and less true by the day. When I first used internet, it was truly global, anything someone else could access, I could as well.
Nowadays, I'm finding more and more geoblocks everywhere. Sometimes I cannot access a website because apparently "a lot of internet criminals are also from the country you are accessing our website from, so you're collateral damage".

The language exists, but yes, I was astounded as well to see it this frequent.

#15Do they hire you as employees or as contractors? I would assume the latter as unless they already have a nexus in your country there’s a whole lotta hassle for a single employee. Or is it, say, eu hiring within the eu, etc?
Many of them hire you as a contractor, of course. However, I noticed that more and more companies use an "HR as a service" (e.g. deel.com) to act as an intermediary who has an official branch in most countries and takes care of all the formalities for you.
In that case you’re working for deel and deel is contracting you out to the hiring company.
Companies can fire you/lay you off without even any of the mediocre protections you get under US law.
I’m not sure how deel handles this situation with employees in countries with stricter worker protections. Do they require the company to pay severance, do they include that in their fees?
I suspect that they are operating in a gray area because no one is really looking.

#16How does "payment in USD" work, if I am not from the US? If the exchange value drops, I cannot pay rent? Everyone should probably get the employer to offer a currency-hedged payment, the fee is not that high.
