They pop up every now and then. Wouldn't say it's a common thing. Fwiw the overlap between a random tech meetup and HN users is probably pretty high. I've gone to a few in SF from meetup.com

It was a good time for sure. I worked there 7.5 years before leaving. Still keep in contact with a lot of people from that job. On the first work day of the month there are hiring threads on HN if you end up wanting to check those out

I've gotten a job through HN which has turned in to friendship if that counts. Every now and then meetups popup too which are cool

I believe it's US remote only. It can't hurt to apply though. The recruiting team may have other roles that are more globally available that they can point you to.

Sorry to hear that. If it's for the role in my link or another product eng role let me know and I can have someone look in to it for you. If not the recruiter you're talking to is likely your best bet.

It's times like these when I'm appreciative of the simplicity of the HN tech stack. Was talking to some people on discord when it went down and then noticed some other websites were down. Came right to HN to see 5 different thread

I really enjoy my pbt key caps. Programmers spend all day at the keyboard and the oils from their fingers wear down the key caps and make their keyboards look terrible. PBT feels better and takes longer to break down. You can get a good set

I thought the same thing, but I found it hard to find views of inside of the apartments I sampled from the article. A lot of the apartment websites just talked about the amenities. Some had a floor plan, but no pictures of what the inside a

This reminds me of the Internet Explorer antitrust issue. Eventually Microsoft had to give users a choice on start up. Not sure if it directly led to better browsers or not, but it certainly didn't hurt. I could see the outcome being t

I would recommend trying to study up on Section 508 compliance https://www.hhs.gov/web/section-508/index.html . It's a set of rules that all government orgs in the US must follow for making sure their content

Depending on where you find the data, a lot of Americans live paycheck to paycheck [1]. An extra $240 a year will certainly help a lot of people out there, not just in America. That's why free services like Google and Facebook continue
