It's a hard and fast rule. You must either be a US citizen or permanent resident. ITAR is the reason.

Ask HN: Challenging math software for 8yo kid?

She greatly enjoys mental arithmetic and I'd like to find some software that challenges her. There's loads of stuff out there but I don't know whether any of it is good. Ideally looking for personal recommendations.For context, the mental arithmetic she does is stuff like adding 3 digit numbers, multiplying 2 digit numbers and some basic algebra. She continually asks me for math problems...

Re:Aziz Ansari releases DRM-free standup special for $5 on Tuesday March 20, 2012 @07:46PM (#3732292)
I'd never heard of him and didn't particularly like the preview. I still paid the $5 because I would like to see this business model take off and the show might be funny. To be honest, I didn't find Louis CK's $5 offering all that funny.
Re:Ask HN: Who's Hiring? (February 2011 Edition) on Monday January 31, 2011 @11:23AM (#2162015)
SpaceX, Los Angeles. Working remotely is not an option for new-hires. In December we became the first private organization to put a spacecraft into orbit and return it safely (highlights: http://spacex.com/multimedia/videos.php?id=57). The other entities who've done this are all governments or governmental collaborations. SpaceX is continuing our expansion. Want to write code that lives on the International Space Station or controls our vehicle while it visits? Want to help humanity colonize Mars? Drop us a line, we're hiring. Visit spacex.com/careers for more info. For reasons relating to ITAR, you must be a US citizen or permanent resident.

Yeah, unfortunately. The job requires either US citizenship or permanent residency. If you're interested in the reasons, google ITAR.

SpaceX, Los Angeles. With the Obama administration's recent budget recommendations for NASA (cutting the Constellation program), we're continuing our expansion. Mad C++ & Linux skillz? Want to write code that lives on the International Space Station or controls our vehicle while it visits? Think humanity should colonize Mars? Drop us a line, we're hiring.
