Re:Code Review as a Service on Tuesday December 21, 2021 @01:20PM (#29640338)

I wanted to join as a reviewer, but you don't accept reviewers from outside the US. Is this something what you are working on and has a chance to change in the foreseeable future? I work for a public US tech company but I'm located in Europe.

> Also, there's virtually zero non-American companies that pay those kind of salaries--save for a few select places like Singapore.

What Singapore companies offer US-level compensation? I was interested in relocating to Singapore a while ago but was unimpressed by salaries there.

Re:Ask HN: Getting a good SV job in one’s 40s from the other side of t... on Wednesday January 08, 2020 @06:52AM (#21990561)

My two goals are to maximise my disposable income and to get to know people who could improve my life (by further career opportunities, by being good cofounders in the future, or simply by inspiring me, being worth talk to or learn from). The second goal is hard to achieve when working remotely (I used to work remotely for several years). The first goal: I know that SV is an expensive place to live, but I have an impression that companies hiring remotely pay so much less than SV wages, that even considering cost of living you can save more living in SV.

I had some roller-coaster in recent years and I need some peace of mind for the next few years. What I mean is to work for a company which most likely won't go under in the next 12 months (hence "reasonably well funded") and with enough resources to get things done; and kinda to focus on one area rather than having to take care of everything and then more. I don't mean I'm looking for a low stress job. Just a bit less stress, bit more certainty and bit less responsibilities than when running/bootstrapping your own company (I did that in the past and will probably do it again, but in a few years).

Ask HN: Getting a good SV job in one’s 40s from the other side of the globe

Inspired by yesterday's "Joining Big Tech in One’s 40s" post. I'm ~40 and spent my career in tech startups on the other side of the pond. I recently started entertaining an idea to move to the USA, Silicon Valley in particular. Is there a reasonable chance to find a good job as lead or principal developer in a reasonably well funded company (or CTO in a small-ish company) while still living in...

It requires one of the computers to be online all the time and run its software (aka server). Also, it's even more niche than GoodSync. There's no way I'll trust my sensitive data to some totally unknown software.

I was under impression that it's a backup utility. It doesn't work realtime, you need to execute its CLI. It also doesn't really do full sync, but one-way sync. If I have some files newer on my machine but other files newer in cloud, it won't handle it well. Am I correct?

Ask HN: Dropbox-like file sync software decoupled from storage provider

Is there such tool available? My wishlist is: * Realtime two-way sync (no CLI tools required to run manually). * "Serverless" in the meaning that no software is required to run and manage on the server side (i.e. Nextcloud doesn't meet this) * Proper client-side encryption, storage and transit always encrypted * "Bring your own cloud storage" - ability to use mine S3/B2/etc credentials. ...

Re:PiHole-Google: Completely Block Google and Its Services on Sunday June 30, 2019 @06:34AM (#20317506)

You can create a self-signed certificate for Google domains and trust it on your machines. Then you can MITM. This won't work well if you want to do it at a scale, with a number of 3rd party users, but if the only user is you or your family, it should do the trick.

Re:Keybase launches encrypted Git on Wednesday October 04, 2017 @03:15PM (#15403543)

Out of curiosity: why do you keep such documents in repositories instead of simply in a filesystem (on an encrypted volume, backed up and possibly synced across devices)? Tax spreadsheets usually don't change, so there's no need for version history (if anything, new rows for new years are added, but without changing past data).

I ask this because I'm trying to figure out a solution for myself for keeping sensitive personal information and I never thought about storing such documents in a repository. Maybe I am missing something and your use case will open my eyes. Thanks!

Fresh account here created to ask this question. I'm in my late thirties and I spent my entire career at tech startups (as founder or employee up to CTO and VP Product positions). I never scored really big, but I earned well. I'm currently free to start something new and I might look for a new job as tech or product lead, but I'm also entertaining a thought of launching a SaaS business.I don't...
