Declan here - appreciated your role/team description, looks like a great team culture. Applied :)
Looks awesome :) applied!
want, where is that setting?
wondered the same thing, are your remote roles location based for visa and salary purposes? I was always super interested to apply but I'm based in Asia.
You assume that they care if the public are provoked.
In Hong Kong, the only lockdown we've been in this entire time is forcing people from certain countries to go into quarantine. In fact, most of our cases recently have all been HK residents coming back to HK from places…
Quite the opposite regarding Carrie Lam. There is a lot of anger towards the government over how they are handling the virus, specifically the insufficient mask supplies and not closing the border with China. Even the…
The police are phsyically attacking the people, it's quite different. Yes, this app helps protestors, but it also helps the public avoid being treated extremely violently by the police.
Dude, in HK the police raise are legally obliged to raise flags to warn the public of things such as firing tear gas, dispersing crowds, illegal assembly etc. They will also post on Twitter to notify the public where…
"For young Hong Kongers however, they didn't live during British rule. They were born into wealth, and now their own career prospects (like many millenials around the world) aren't great. So they protest." Everything…
As I already wrote, if things like FB, Google, WhatsApp etc. are all blocked and most Western news sites are blocked/censored...will you suddenly know they exist because you crossed the border and go scour them for news…
You think mainlanders cross the border into Hong Kong and suddenly have a new found knowledge of where to look for uncensored information? Or that they suddenly have tons of friends to contact and discuss the news with…
There may be negatives to this, but if you listen to any recent talks with Jack Dorsey, he is genuinely concerned about combating the amount of fake accounts on Twitter. Of course, it's both a moral issue and a business…
This was definitely a big thing I noticed when looking around. A lot of places thought I might be suitable from a technical perspective, but that I lacked remote working experience. I've worked in places where it's…
What kind of experience have the people here had when applying for remote positions? Did you guys find it difficult to get a remote job (that you enjoy!)? When I was last looking for a job, I applied to several remote…
But how many people click the button to buy a license? :D
I guess ending up in a situation where you need cash to pay for something.
No bad experiences so far with Revolut, but will admit the customer support is pretty terrible. I had to enquire to the CS team about the top-up limit and ended up getting all of my answers from forums instead of the CS…
Yeah, I definitely find myself buying from Amazon less often now. I shop around elsewhere as it's more user-friendly and only go to Amazon if I happen to search for a product and see it's cheaper on Amazon. Before, a…
As others have said, try out Revolut. I believe it's only part of the premium package which sucks, but they offer throwaway cards for this purpose.
And there's me thinking selling online would be easy. I was planning to set something up with Stripe and Printful (drop shipping) to sell some custom tshirt designs I made as a learning experience.
> Shopify/Squarespace/Sellfy etc. are much cheaper and lower risk, at least to start with. From experience PCI compliance and tax rules are pains you do not want to deal with. Could you explain what you mean by this?…
Have a link to anything supporting the NASA comment? I believe you, I'm just curious to read an article on it.
Interesting replies on changing jobs frequently. Personally, I have only been an engineer for around 3 years, of which I have had fairly valid reasons for leaving each time. - 8 months in a startup that burned out and…
I definitely got sidetracked by the word "even" in the definition of hacker news. Even: Verb. Something that white girls can't do. "Oh my god Janet! Did you see that girl's dress? Like I can't even!"
