wolficoon BYOT: Bring your own team

I have a mostly US based team that might be interested but we have one employee in Mexico. Would that be a disqualifier? We'd be willing to transfer the infrastructure for that (foreign subsidiary and payroll and all that which is already in place.)

wolficoon What’s really going on in downtown Vegas?

Interesting. What do you like or dislike compared to Dallas? What made you move? I'm in LA right now but am probably moving to Dallas in a month or two.

wolficoon What’s really going on in downtown Vegas?

I really would like to move to Vegas but a few people who have lived there have told me that Zappos is realistically (but not literally) the only game in town for tech. Does anyone with boots on the ground there know if this is the case or not? How does it compare to the LA/DFW/AUS scene?

wolficoon Ask HN: Can “on-demand” marketplace workers be independent contractors legally?

A lot of people misuse 1099 status but I don't think Uber, et al are among them. The drivers use their own cars, choose their own hours, can work or not work as they see fit, and are not 'directed' by Uber for the most part. Most of my friends who drive Uber, anecdotally, consider themselves 'self-employed' in more than just tax status.
