Re:What is Google doing with its leftover Nexus phones? on Sunday December 18, 2016 @02:02PM (#13207038)
Might have to look into that option. Most Amazon deals are US based, which would result in extra customs/duty charges for a purchaser from Canada. I also avoided eBay due to that and stories of people getting flawed merchandise. I wanted to buy from a source where I could be sure it was new in box.

What is Google doing with its leftover Nexus phones?

Since the Pixel was debuted, the Nexus 5x and 6 disappeared from the Google Play store without any clearance sale.When I heard a new model was coming, I figured then would be a good time to pick up another Nexus because its price would probably be lowered as part of a clearance move usually implemented by brands during new releases. I also expected this because of the Xmas holiday period...

Re:Ask HN: Does anyone ever hire non-tech help from here? on Monday September 08, 2014 @06:13PM (#8287618)
Good to know. Did you post the opening or search through a "who wants to be hired" type thread?

Ask HN: Does anyone ever hire non-tech help from here?

I'm a very tech savvy generalist (previous experience includes some tech and design with mostly business). I responded to the Freelancer and "Who wants to be hired" posts but got no response and noticed that both threads were full of replies about purely technical postings. So I wondered if HNers actually posted/searched here at all when hiring for non-tech positions. Thought I should ask...
