Niche real estate portal for foreigners looking to buy a property in Spain.

I’ve built it in Ruby on Rails and hosting on Heroku.

Running free trials for realtors in case anyone’s interested :-)

But I would mostly appreciate feedback about what you are missing from existing real estate portals.

Recommended books about tech company growing pains

Hi there, I work at a company that is experiencing what I diagnose as growing pains. I’m looking for book recommendations that could help to direct the solutions.A bit more context. The company is profitable with high margin, growing close to 100% year to year in the past couple of years. The tech department is around 250 engineers. The value the company provides relies heavily on the...

I'm currently reading "The myth of normal" by Gabor Mate, MD. Not a book about MS specifically but he presents there some cases of MS which were managed using some non-standard approaches. It might be interesting for you what he has to say about the causes and 'treatment' of the illness.
If I was making policies I would oblige manufacturers of anything to take back and recycle their product at the end of life. This would make sure products/packagings are made to be recyclable and/or biodegradable.

This should be applied not only to clothing, but really everything. I would expect the first result would be no single use plastics anywhere.

Obviously the cost of the change would be transferred to consumers on the purchase price. However we are already paying it in a deferred manner with the degradation of the natural world.

Are they giving any rationale for removing each episode? I would be interested to see why the Tim Ferris episode didn’t make it. Or Bill Burr for that matter - was he not funny enough?
It is covered under copyright. Here in Europe there is no patents for software.
> What intellectual property rights are you asserting?

Not sure I understand the question correctly. As an author of the source code I hold the IP. I'm suing to stop the company from using my code and for compensation for the time they are using it without permission.

> Did you consult with an attorney?

Yes, the case is submitted to the court and awaiting a trial.

Ask HN: How to preserve evidence for future Intellectual Property trial?

I’m awaiting a trial against a company providing a SaaS product. The product is based on a source code of mine and the company is using it without a license and refusing to stop the use.The court delays in my jurisdiction (in Europe) are reaching many months and I’m looking for ideas how can I record the fact that they are operating the product for the purpose of the trial. This could be...

Re:Ask HN: CS, still a good career in 3-5 years? on Tuesday December 17, 2019 @05:55PM (#21819862)
Do what you love - as cliche as that.

The best career is the one that gives you joy and fulfillment. If CS is what floats your boat then it’s the right choice for you.

Go for career that pays much more but you must drag yourself from bed to go to the office every morning and you are set up for a life of misery - no matter how much money you make.

Seems like a catch 22 situation. Should we believe a publication of a psychopath or should we assume it’s a manipulation. Matrix within Matrix.

There's been a lot of stories lately putting Uber in a bad light. It makes me wonder if it's not their competition who is behind it. Taxi industry lobby perhaps?
