Can you provide more information about Canadian government grant?

Merry Christmas to you as well.

I upvote articles on which I would like to see more discussion. I upvote insightful comments and rarely downvote as it discourages participation. I think downvoting should be only used for extremely rude or misleading comments. If I disagree with a comment I reply with my point of view.

She went to some local meetups, and got lucky to find a good developer.

So attend some meetups and ask around. If anyone is interested get work samples and vet by giving him/her a short paid relevant assignment.

You can also find great remote developers, but vet them with short communication and coding assignments. Github/Linkedin/Dribbble are good resources to find someone remote.

Good luck and I hope you find someone well rounded with excellent communication skills.

One of my friend was in the similar situation, I managed to convince her not to quit, so she got a developer to build the MVP and test the market. The idea didn't workout but she had her job and got promoted to much better positions.

So hiring someone to develop the MVP is an option you might consider.

Where are you sourcing the data from?

Yes, any decent Front-End dev can pull much more than that, do you have a portfolio?

Do you have data on reddit's downtime to backup your claim? https://twitter.com/redditstatus shows the last downtime was on April 9th, and that was scheduled.

I can understand a downvote with a solid reply, but downvote just for disagreeing doesn't add to the discussion, its more of a censorship which should only be used for offensive/misleading comments IMHO.

Personally, I use upvotes to reward new knowledge or an interesting argument in a comment, I don't upvote every comment I agree with, and downvote only if the comment is offensive.

That was a comment made 2402 days ago, is it still HN's position? HN has evolved quite alot since then.

Noticing this aggressive downvoting trend quite alot on HN lately. Perfectly valid inoffensive arguments are downvoted just because the downvoter disagrees with them.

Is it possible for shareholders to force corporations to repatriate money back to US?

I work across the whole spectrum from design to backend. During the learning phase both front/backend can be quite fun. Though it becomes less joy full when you are working professionally due to constraints, bugs, deadlines etc.

Anyone can start learning frontend development as you only need a browser and text editor to experiment. There are tons of free tutorials and books available to get going. I also find it helpful to see how other websites are implemented, last night I was going through khanacademy.org using chrome developer tools. However, professionally, I find frontend to be the most frustrating part of web development due to inconsistencies and bugs across browsers.

In my experience backend is the least frustrating part of web development once you know your environment, stay within that environment and follow best practices, most of the time things just work. It only get irritating when you have to integrate with some troublesome remote api which is not under your control.

But, to answer your question, I would say try both, see what he likes and go from there.

Thanks dude, I asked the question before the localregister page was linked, bbc article doesn't mention this information.

Whats the transfer schedule from Amazon payments to the bank account? Square schedule is next business day.

This is very interesting work, regarding your last point, I came across this site which is searchable by employee name or government organization http://canada.landoffree.com/.

I think the salary and expense disclosure is only for Ontario, based on the sunshine list.

Github seems to have scaled fine on Rails.

mdcases.net looks like a very interesting idea and can become a very valuable resource, are you pursuing it full time?

I can't upvote this enough, if you are in it for money or prestige there are much better ways to earn both of those. Medical practice is a calling, yet I see many doctors who go into it for all the wrong reasons and then lead miserable lives.

If anyone wants to become a doctor, please volunteer at a hospital or clinic for more than a year to see the working conditions.

This doesn't look free, when trying to signup, Udacity wants my credit card details and only allows two weeks of free trial.

Very well said, that is the argument against high valued real estate in relatively modest income large cities such as Toronto. With low or no disposable income other sectors of economy are getting affected. I would also argue another reason for high prices are the greenbelt laws, by which government has effectively restricted land available for development.

Most of the people I know who have bought real estate recently are scraping by and using their basement apartments as mortgage helpers. Another issue I have noticed is the lax standards in issuing mortgages, there are companies writing employment letters for $1-2k in order for couples to qualify for mortgages. Banks and government is wising up but the damage has already been done.

In Toronto, average SFH cost is now $950k, amortization period is 25 years, with most common mortgage term of 5 years, and yet the houses get snapped in less then 26 days on market, while year over year price increase is 10%.

It seems like real estate prices are increasing rapidly in every major city around the world. I hear the same story from London, Sydney, SF etc.

BTW, I would take that 50 year and 30 year fixed mortgage term any day. 30 year fixed at 4.4% seems like extremely good offer from this side of the fence.

The data is crowd sourced so it may deviate, you can contribute your data to keep it aligned. Also the quality of life and commuting comparisons can be done from the pull down menu in the header.

You will still come out ahead in SF vs Toronto http://www.numbeo.com/cost-of-living/compare_cities.jsp?coun...

Loss of 1/3 working-age population is due to central family planning by chinese government.

What difference does it make to the seller if its a all-cash?

Still too expensive, FB, AAPL, are much better alternatives.

Some Computer Science programs are really strong and require students to do a good deal of intense programming work. However these programs are becoming fewer and fewer as universities water down their curriculum to get more students to pass through. So there is truth in both statements.

Canadian doctors are protected taxpayer subsidized insurance called CMPA. Typical cost is 1/10th of what it costs in US.
