How does a curated list of women in tech available for hire help solve that? Won't both companies that pay and treat women fairly in line with men already be hiring them... and women already be choosing to work for them?

I think a gender-specific list of people available for hire isn't conducive to the actual goal. We need a way to change the culture of bigoted companies.

I agree a pro-active effort makes sense... just the question is: By doing what?

(Not trying to be difficult).

...maybe I'm missing the point.

Heh, and the cycle continues.

Fun exercise, anyway.

I set my vimwiki directory to be in Dropbox, so it's safe/available on all my devices.

e.g. SWE at Google - "these résumé lines must be good!"

I think people that frequently pull all nighters (i.e. those claiming to do so multiple times per week) are probably missing the point that they'll get more work done with ~6 100% productive hours per day, than 18+ hours at fastly reduced productivity. It's not sustainable.

Yup, pretty much what I expected.

For what it's worth, I found vimwiki pretty good for personal organisation/journalling.

I've been browsing some meets on meetup.com and intend on going to a few. Many people have reassured me that whilst I'm the introverted type and events like this make me somewhat anxious... a lot of people are the same. I'd say that in the tech/dev world, more people have some kind of social awkwardness than not. The people that immeditately gel and befriend everyone aren't common. Maybe I'm wrong. shrug

I've been making friends on interpals.net - I originally signed up looking to do a bit of a language exchange, but ended up talking to a bunch of people.

After that, I feel like I'm on a bit of a roll and it's just a case of continuing. It's quite refreshing to know I can make friends, it's almost becoming enjoyable. :)

- What's the worst that could happen?

- Take an interest in other people, ask them what they're working on, etc.

- You won't be the most introverted person at x event.

Good luck. :)

Why would this news not cause Tesla's share price to go up?

It seems generally well-received (well, as much of an indicator as 812 points on HN is). Surely that's a good sign? Or did the announcement not live up to the hype, causing people to dump stock?

Also, you can't beat a referral from a trusted friend or colleague. Perhaps offer your existing clients x% off their next invoice for any success referrals, or figure out some similar affiliate scheme.

If an employee doesn't want to give their number out, just purchase a number that can be forwarded. Or if there is a large volume of company calls, I'd have thought you'd have been at a point financially where an extra phone is a trivial expense?

Also, you're on a new account. There's also another reply vouching for Vultr on a new account in this thread, albeit without a referral link.

Something smells.

If I were OP I wouldn't even consider vultr.

How many tens of millions in legal resources were expended in bringing 'justice' here? And what does the outcome even matter? Good job, tens of millions down the drain for one year of an Estonian's time? The system would surely be better served if they just handed those millions to the actual copyright holders?

The only real victory (if that's what they'd like to call it) is having taken the site down in the first place, not that that did a single thing to kerb 'illegal' filesharing...

The industry has moved on and adapted just fine.
