SEEKING FREELANCER | Vancouver, BC | Remote OK (must be in BC)
Looking for a mobile app dev to build a photo/video sharing app on both platforms.
This will be the second app I've created with Freelancers from HN. This is the only place I ever look for talent.

Here in Vancouver, BC, it IS. The property values are SO high and continue to go up every year, that retail income is almost irrelevant to the owners. They are just waiting for a developer to buy the property so they can cash out.

>“We also made mistakes, there’s more to do, and we need to step up and do it,”
I, for one, am tired of hearing tech companies say that they are sorry - believing that this makes whatever the issue is, immediately a thing of the past so that they can start again from day zero with regard to whatever they failed at.
A company the size of FB must police the usage of their data if they want to be able to promise security of it. That this wasn't being done is a mistake of unforgivable magnitude.

Both her, and Shane Missler, who won the Mega Millions in January should just disappear. I think her problem is that she wants her life to remain largely the same. Well it can't and it won't. But a few hundred million dollars gives you plenty of opportunities to start over, at any age, and take care of your inner circle from wherever in the world you want to live.
