Sorry I can't find it immediately but he was asked about it when Shatner was pushing this and he thought it was a great idea.
I think it fits in with his immediate solution to everything angle that's completely nuts when you stop to think about it.
He threw darts at a wall and got lucky from my perspective. Basically how he's run his whole campaign.
Agreed :)
Trump has stated he intends to bring this plan back... (just sayin' :) )
I really like this idea. Please re-post as-is on April 2nd.
This is great advice, cross-check it but thanks for posting nikanj
I'm expecting a response from angel list here. If one does not happen in closing my account.
I find tying my income to stock highly motivating :)
Very cool page, it's lacking salaries however that would improve the posts quite a lot. Have you heard of AngelList? Their best feature is likely the public salary data.
In BC, 'competitive salary' ranges from 40-160K for the same role :)
...Have Chess players had a future...?!
Your table is conveniently lacking the salary ranges I've been offered from over a dozen higher paying companies in the city...
In fact, not a single company that pays well whom I've talked to is on your list other than Amazon and Microsoft (Whom will pay a whole lot more if you point the spread out to them).Where in Vancouver are you making $45K? I have dozens of companies on file that are seeking engineers in the 80-110K range.
Everyone that replied to me is running off of 4 year old data. None of you have any clue what you're talking about.
Heck, just check Angel.co and notice most engineering jobs are >= 100K... and that's just tiny startups kicking off.
Seattle and SF are way beyond Vancouver's unaffordability ratio. Vancouver is cheap.
Half of all people are below 'median' intelligence :P
It would, and it does.
Definitely replying to this, I've had this happen more than once at the offer stage.
I've experienced this time and time again. Postgres is an outstanding database for most use cases. I also love all the enhancements it has been getting over the last twenty four months.
If you haven't considered Postgres before, definitely check the project out.
Kinda amazing how these guys are past Series C now and still haven't released a product.
SURPRISE!!!
Missing Zune which means Penis in Quebec.
I would love to see a huge correction in Vancouver but many people have been born and died waiting for it to happen.
This idea is fantastic. However, we can do one better. We can control the quake such that we use a sequence of low energy quakes distributed across many years to eliminate the need for the large quick entirely.
Sounds like some people need prison sentences.
This is really cool, thanks for sharing it out!
I've found I almost exclusively prefer working with 30+ year old engineers. There's a huge difference and it shows.
Charging and mouse for me. I suppose I can use a wireless mouse but all the ones I've tried that don't have a usb dongle seem so jumpy. Bluetooth doesn't seem ready for that frequency yet.
This is the most misinformed comments thread I've ever seen on Hacker News.
