This is hackernews, the place where people intend to make positive change with their brain, their time, and sometimes, their money.
We’re building apps and smart contracts to provide simple, and usable tools for regular consumers to access and manage crypto and non-crypto assets. We’re regulated in Europe, have sound development practices, contribute to Open Source, provide state of the art hardware, pay competitive salaries, offer global health insurance, with flexible working hours, and can provide private desks to those of our remote employees who have less comfortable home settings.
Our management structure is relatively flat so you can expect to have some impact in any of these positions.
We evaluate our developers in a respectable manner and won’t ask you to code a red black tree from memory on a white board, but will make sure you can work.
We also have positions in other departments like Marketing and Compliance, so feel free to ask me anything.
Email my username at tenx dot tech with the desired position and some information about you to start the conversation!
Given the market of the last decade, investing everything above the 30-40k expenses and income tax in the S&P500 and re-investing the dividends would have brought GP there. Not really sure about how one can make it with 30-40k including rent in the Bay Area, but this sounds like the most reasonable takeaway for most readers.
A lot of countries have immigration policies that still require degrees for visas. Given how global the world is becoming, it's important to have the option to be geographically flexible.
Much respect.
Millions of people live in smaller places and are perfectly happy about it. It does look like her house is wasn't built to properly optimize for the space though (the toilet unit could be much better, having a sink, toilets, and a shower in the same tiny space with a very clean looking bathroom is a solved problem).
The rent price seems fairly high, but it seems to be aligned with local salaries and the (perceived?) quality of life the bay area has to offer.
As the rent price per square foot gets higher with smaller spaces, those tiny houses are probably more profitable than larger apartments or houses, so we might see more of those as landlords realize, and then maybe renters will get used to it like in Tokyo and Hong Kong?
Working in the profit center of a company is often enviable, but let's not forget that cost centers in large companies can also offer benefits in things like work/life balance.
Best of luck!
I share your disappointment and would like to know how the admins see this.
If there's anything you see every day on HN, it's people relentlessly arguing about "building what people want", and "solving problems". One of (the?) most popular HN member, patio11, got a lot of this massive amount of karma because he gives a pragmatic and clear view of generating sustainable revenue in business. This is what the HN crowd likes.
The old fairy tale of hackers only focusing of products and ignoring strategy is long gone, and most people here know this.
It's not necessary to differentiate hackers and strategy people.
Wordpress powering most of the web is not necessarily a good indicator of the popularity of the language among developers, as the whole point of Wordpress is that you do not need to be a developer to operate your website.
Quick question regarding your business model. Do you intend to charge forever, or is there any option for your customers to get out after the setup if they decide to grow their business with their own resources?
Telcoin is a Tokyo-based startup focused on providing financial services to developed and developing countries using crypto tokens delivered by mobile operators.
We are hiring for our Marketing, Product and Engineering departments. Therefore looking for community managers (experience with chat community management like Telegram or Slack is a nice plus), marketing managers and creatives/designers. We are also looking for programmers on Android, and back-end programmers (we use Rust and, for the time being, Solidity for our smart contracts).
As a young but properly funded company (raised $25M two months ago), we do test our software, have a flexible vacation policy, very competitive packages including tokens and equity, enough runway for several years, and are potentially open to remote workers for some positions.
We believe in fair interview processes so we won't ask you to whiteboard your way out of a red black tree, but will make sure you can perform on the task. We also won't do more than two rounds of interviews, as we're respectful of your time.
If you're interested in financial inclusion, Rust, blockchain/cryptocurrencies, or simply want to write software that helps people send money home efficiently, please email jobs at telco dot in.
For back-end positions, some experience with Rust, fraud management, payment processors, or telecom software would be a nice plus, but not necessary.
We also welcome (paid) interns.

Question is then, will Spotify and Google Music ever come to Apple Watch?
Questions!
- Do you plan to extend the syllabus to something more fundamental? Asking because you have some C++ and already go further than bootcamps, so I'm wondering if you intend to pursue this direction and get closer to a formal CS education.
- Do you plan to work on giving some sort of degrees later? Some countries require degrees for immigration, which is a door that bootcamps do not open. By offering degrees, you open the global market to your students, and in an increasingly connected world, it can make a huge difference. I basically owe my quality of life to the mobility I got thanks to my degree, and this is something I wish to everyone.
Massive Kudos to you guys! I hope you will eventually offer the same service to students outside of the US. The market is large.
Positions: DevOps (who can really write tools) | Rust Programmers | Security Specialists.
Remuneration: Extremely competitive.
Based in Singapore, we're TenX, a cryptocurrency-focused tech company that strives to build the best software in the crypto world, starting with a multi-cryptocurrency wallet. Having raised $80M in our ICO, we're now ready to scale our team and tackle bigger challenges.
We're primarily looking for strong Rust developers, but are open to smart programmers willing to extend their skillset. We are strong believers in CI, testing, and safe and secure programming principles, as we're doing business in a very rough and demanding environment.
The extent of what we're building is very wide, so various backgrounds are welcome, as long as you do not mind writing solid backend code. Experience with credit card payment integrations is a definite plus for some of our projects.
No whiteboard or fizzbuzz interview, but don't worry we'll make you sure can code.

I have been in Japan for a while, and the fact that you will never be accepted is totally OK for me. I appreciate feeling like an outsider, and as long as people are polite to me and my friends/family, I have no objections to people not calling me uniclaude san.
You see, when you're not a white male, it sometimes feel like you're an outsider even in your home country (provided the said country is mostly white), so for the first time, in Japan, I'm not the colored dude, I'm an outsider, a foreigner, and that's it. To be honest this is not a "Japan-only" thing, the same point could be made for some other countries like China.
Then, because this is HN, let's bring a second point:
The glass ceiling faced by foreigners in Japanese companies is a dream for us startup founders. It's rare for a potential prospect to have more room for growth in a Japanese company than in your startup if that person is a foreigner. It's sad, but it helps a lot when hiring top talent. Let's also note that the visa situation for engineers is very easy compared to many other first world countries like the USA.
Classic middlebrow dismissal.
Good luck finding someone more motivated.
To be honest, this is a pretty bad answer to his claim. If you advertise 140 minimum, don't offer 120. This is unethical, you should edit your posting.
Maybe I'm misunderstanding, but I wouldn't expect "Sugar Babies" to be looking for potential husbands on those online platforms. Whereas mail order brides seem to be in for a longer commitment.
If the two value propositions are so different (essentially a hot temporary girlfriend vs a wife), there is no real competition, and the bargaining power should not be too affected.
The author demonstrated this point by showing how his classes could help students learn better.
We can then debate about whether having successful students is a positive thing to have for universities, but Dan Luu clearly seems to think it is.
