Sure, I live in the UK and I live in constant fear of the mighty US drone army. Our laws (a great deal of which predate the existence of the US) have no meaning.

"Nothing stopping the developer from paying out to users as well" - this is absolutely ridiculous; of course a developer with absolutely no payment infrastructure is going to start relaying these ill-gotten gains back to users. It just doesn't work like that.

To be a little clearer, I'm only completely against this when it's enabled within an extension by default; therefore crawling the web without the end users' knowledge.

If it's something you can enable, then it isn't so bad. This should ultimately be a choice that the user makes.

I just did exactly the same with another site!

If you enjoyed this, I'd really think you'd enjoy the first episode of 'The Twilight Zone', called 'Where is Everybody?'

It's on YouTube! Enjoy! :)

This is the most stupid & perhaps unethical way of 'powering' your search engine in history.

Paying a developer to include a web crawler in their extension? Whilst using the users' bandwidth?

I hope 'Datafiniti' fades out pretty damn soon.

Hi silverarr; I'm from the UK and work within the industry, so I can help you with this.

£40-45k p/a is pretty average within London, where living expenses are higher, for a mid-experience sort of job.

However, £40-45k p/a will give you much more 'bang for your buck' in a location such as Bristol, where there's a pretty good tech community.

Hope this helps a little,

Hi John!

I absolutely love this! I've just created an account and have sent an invite to my co-founder & designer to sign up!

Hopefully we'll be using this for our day-to-day tasks - it seems like a much nicer solution to finding out what we're working on than checking in with each other throughout the day on Skype...

Keep rocking it!

Congratulations! It's good to see people getting results from the "Who wants to be hired?" threads!

To me, this just seems a little silly. I can't imagine how difficult it will be to maintain a persistent, user-friendly account with this method. An emailed link every time a user wants to log in? Just plain silly.

Passwords are still widely used, and for good reason. I partially accept your point of passwords not being very secure, but why not just spend some time implementing a 2FA login method, instead of this?

Weekly rate converts to $523/hr.

I didn't; I mined them. It doesn't bother me immensely, as the total amount of coins I have mined amounts to 1,987.

Thanks. Found out this morning, when I came back from a vacation. It sucks, but it's nothing I can't rebuild.

I, unfortunately, lost 58.2 BTC.

They should hire you.

Thanks Chuck, it seems transport is pretty decent in SF then - that's good news!

I really do appreciate your input, thanks again :)

You would find it very rewarding and insightful!

We're genuinely quite friendly people, us hackers - we should make you feel welcome :)

Have a beer or two with some of the guys and walk around to see what people are working on - most people will be more than happy to show you their hack!

Kickoff app for the Mac is great! We use and love it.

My experience has generally been quite bad.

I installed Ubuntu on my mid-2011 MacBook Pro late last year, which resulted in messing up my MBR.

I had problems with being unable to delete some disk partitions, which caused hours of frustration.

If you love Linux, it can be worth it. However, I just love Unix, and now I love Darwin :)
