Then it's good enough. Facebook is bigger than Skype and you can have a chat/VOIP call with anyone on Facebook, even if they're not your friend. Then there's Google hangouts as well. Slack is meant for teams. Gamers use Discord.

Is one really needed? Facebook has VOIP, Slack has VOIP, most modern games have decent built in VOIP. It's not an interesting problem anymore and it's available everywhere.

hmm does suspend not work for you? OpenBSD is quite laptop friendly, more so than the other BSDs I'd say. If you're booting every morning then I can understand it being a bit annoying.

OpenBSD is probably the worst when it comes to overall performance of all the BSDs, and Linux.

Why do you care about boot time? I boot my laptop maybe 6 times per year or so, probably even less. I wouldn't care if it took even longer...

> e.) creative people (what innovations came out of beijing?)

I find fintech in China particularly interesting. Alipay and all the services around it are eons ahead of anything we have in the west.

It does if you use FreeBSD for your servers.

Interesting that there seem to be no OpenBSD or related projects on this year.

Usually countries stop burning coal and use something that emits less CO2 as they develop. Except the US. It's still burning the most coal per capita, by far.

Getting rid of coal is a great place to start.

Simplicity

If you want to get started with this stuff but you're feeling lost or overwhelmed then the free SurviveJS - Webpack and React book is a nice place to start! It covers many of these tools. http://survivejs.com

Also typical in the first world: ignoring and belittling mental problems like they are inferior to physical ones. Both suck but just in different ways.

What does population size have to do with it? Population density in the US and Norway is similar I think.

I can imagine a homogeneous population resulting in a lower crime rate although I have no data to back that up. I think a low crime rate makes it possible to have higher quality programs like this.

I recall a poll on reddit where the question was: "If you could relive any experience for the first time again, what would it be?" Playing WoW for the first time was quite high on that list, and I think that would be my answer too.

Thanks for the feedback, I totally understand your reservations with all the crap out there on the internet.

We just thought a thorough resource for digital nomad gear should exist so we did a weekend project to create one.

A lot of the products aren't even on Amazon. It's a mix of stuff that we own and use, suggestions from friends and people on the nomad slack gear channel. Almost all of our content is original by the way.

Right now we're thinking of ways to make it more user content based, like finding experienced nomads to share what they use (gear lists). Also ranking products by users and/or user entered products.

I'm sure that's also true but plenty are real. I know devs in London who are on those rates. And yeah, the Java roles are usually banks.

There are lots of contracts in London with 500-700 GBP per day rates...Java/Ruby/Node and more. Those are for dev roles, not consulting roles.

I don't see a problem with that. You're welcome to spend time on google yourself to find their contact details or you can just get them here. Time is precious for most entrepreneurs. There is no private information there.

We just wanted to make a useful tool and if it's something people find useful there are endless directions to take this in. :)

Cheers man. It's back up now. We only spent the weekend on this and there was bound to be a bug somewhere.

It's only tech/startups journalists right now. If we decide to add more groups we'll implement a tag system but we decided it was not needed for now.

The reason for making this was that we really wished something like this existed when we were trying to get press. Some of the emails are easy to find but many of them were pretty tedious to find!

Yeah people seem to "like" the idea on there! We probably will not be hiring until we have streamlined our model a bit more and started earning revenue or raised another round of funding.

Thanks! You might already know but the UK has AnyVan which is similar but perhaps more for long distance stuff. I think they have eBay integration too. You're right that is a huge market though.

We're working on having a new photo taken for a redesign of the front page that is coming up. Different trucks is a neat idea. We toyed round with some ideas and ended up with just wanting a photo of people moving. Not sure what we'll go with yet but different trucks is cool since it tells you that we have variety!

Working on TruckPlease https://www.truckplease.com/ If you need to move something you can post it there and guys with trucks and moving companies around you will put down quotes for the job. Then you can accept/decline the quotes and get connected to the mover. It's a Rails app. The focus is on stuff within the same city (or county at least) so shorter local moves.

It's mostly in Vancouver, BC right now although we get stuff posted from all over the US and Canada.

I heard of this case growing up and it has always been considered a mystery in Iceland. I haven't followed it closely but this is the best write up of the case I've seen; impressive work by BBC.

While I'm not defending the investigators, a lot has changed in 40 years and even though this might be unacceptable today it was probably different then (as stated in the article). It's very sad to listen to these people talk about how they were treated though.

I don't think unit tests should dominate the architecture of your applications. I hear this a lot from the angularjs crowd.

I also disagree with architecturing your applications for things that might need to be changed in the future (but probably won't). That is something from enterprise and Java world and a lot of people including myself dislike it. I know people who love it though and that's fine, as long as I don't have to work with them. :)

Thanks! :) Yeah, once the site has all the features we want we'll definitely start working on an app. Tracking is something we're really interested in doing with that.

Hey :) I'm able to reproduce this by disabling JS. I'm on Chrome on a Mac as well and with JS enabled there are no problems.

Hey - co-founder here :) Yeah that's a good idea, a few people have pointed this out as well. Definitely something we'll add soon.
