So in your opinion, are Cordova apps also native apps?

Out of curiosity, what brain cancer does she have? I had a Grade II astrocytoma in 2013, came back in Sept 2015 as Grade III. Currently undergoing chemo and feeling fine (25 years old).

> The Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) requires that the hiring of a foreign worker will not adversely affect the wages and working conditions of U.S. workers comparably employed. To comply with the statute, the Department's regulations require that the wages offered to a foreign worker must be the prevailing wage rate for the occupational classification in the area of employment.

The prevailing wage rate is defined as the average wage paid to similarly employed workers in a specific occupation in the area of intended employment.

No, not because of that. In case you did not know, the companies are obligated to pay H1b employees more than the prevailing wage for that position in that county. This is something controlled by the Department of Labor.

I would say the biggest threat to Java is Oracle themselves.

Wow, this is still not automated in DC and NYC? I don't remember a time when it was not automated in Vienna.

It's not. I just have an instance of MongoDB running on a separate server.

sqlite would be great, or some NoSQL solution such as Mongo (though I see as that being less likely).

This looks exactly like something I've been looking for!

Curious, what kind of database (if any) backend is it using? If it's not using MySQL or anything heavy like that, I'm sold!

Amazing, I did not know this (and I use KDE). Thanks.

Phew, for a moment I thought that they will be focusing only on enterprise licenses and make Qt closed-source (which would probably be a suicide).

One day. One day I hope Xamarin will find a different financing model, or like you said include VS support in their indie plan. It's just far too expensive right now.

Ah, I understand what you're saying right now. Still, if this offer were to go through, I'm willing to bet that 95% of Americans will not know the parent company's name - as is the case today (a shock I see on everyone's face when I tell them that T-Mobile is essentially a German company, or at least owned by one).

I'm somewhat disturbed by the fact that Samsung (and Apple) seems to be the only one that is pushing for >= 10" tablets. I had a Galaxy Tab S Pro which is not that great (heard the Note line is very good). I ended up gifting it to my dad and I bought myself an iPad, even though I'm heavily invested in Android.

Nexus 10 has no successor, and LG is not coming out with anything with that diagonal, and now this.

I had no idea that chip cards are not accepted in the US. I can't remember the last time I saw a magnetic stripe card... and I live in Serbia.

I am not sure how it is not relevant. Tmobile is owned by Deutsche Telekom, a German company. T Mobile operates in the US and many other countries. If this offer goes through, T mobile US will be owned by Free, a French company. But it will continue to operate in the US.

That's what I thought too. If the CEO does a good job and the company is succeeding, who cares what his/her personal beliefs are? As long as those are not transferred onto the company.

I was using Nikola for some time, but Github Pages + Jekyll is a good alternative. Though I am currently using WordPress (not that anyone is visiting it), I think I may look into Ghost.

This is fantastic. I've used python mechanize in some very large projects and it was very frustrating - their lack of documentation and, well, the fact that it's complete "abandonware".

I've had mechanize repository cloned for a year now, planning to do something with it - never got around to. Looks like MechanicalSoup just got themselves a new contributor!

This is a different lifestyle choice. I have many friends who could more than easily afford a car (or two), but they choose not to have one - the public transportation system is more than enough for them.

Also, I live in Serbia, and honestly even we don't wait "weeks or months" for non-emergency issues. As someone who has lived in the US as well, I've actually waited longer in the US hospital than in the Serbian one. I'm really not sure where that stereotype of "you have to wait months for surgery in Europe" comes from.

I wonder at what point did Tesla stop being Nikola Tesla, and started being nothing more than a car?

Well, generally the North American car manufacturers produce cars of much poorer quality compared to the Japanese, Korean, and European car makers.

Thanks a ton for this! I will forward this to my consulting agency.

Uh, don't remind me of H-1B. I am currently on F1 working as a software developer for a Fortune 500 company (with work permit / OPT), and my consulting agency said they'll apply for a H-1B visa for me, so I was very happy.

Turns out, they actually tried to extend my work permit (which they couldn't in my case since I didn't actually graduate with CSci degree) and now I have my work permit expiring in July, and not sure if I'll be able to stay in the country because I'm not sure if H-1B visa will arrive in time.

I have generally been using Google Drive anyway, but after what this person did to my country as well, I am not going to support a company that supports her.

Time to move all of my files from Dropbox to GDrive.

I, however, fail to see why Apple wouldn't offer iPhone in its "standard" size, as well as a "big" size - the 5" model.

This outline disproves exactly what you just said.

Same here. Windows 8.

First time HN user here, I lurked it for some time and I quite like it.

Anyway, the course is a paid course, however I present to you a coupon - just enter HN and the price will be down to $10.

I'd also appreciate any feedback you could give me.

Additionally, if this is completely inappropriate (for me to post here), please let me know!

I don't see how establishing your company in a country with a lower tax rate as opposed to some other country can be considered as tax "evasion".
