Totally agree, the thing with countries like France is the language barrier. But he is fluent with English, so I may tell him to apply for UK jobs as well. Thanks!

Hell yeah, he would actually love to live in another country :)

He actually runs a free software association and is very active in the open source scene here, but yeah, I already said to him that he should contribute more on GitHub. Thanks!

BTW I forgot to add it on the post, but this is his LinkedIn profile just in case https://www.linkedin.com/profile/view?id=75046358

He had a local client base, but he started to loose all of them because of the crisis... so I should probably suggest him to start working with clients from another countries, totally agree. Thanks!

Yeah, that's what he's trying to do, but at least here in Spain both Python and MongoDB are still considered as 'young technologies for startups' that aren't usually seen in the enterprise or in the normal freelance jobs.

Anyway, thanks for the tip about the Monthly HN thread - he will definitely post there :)

The innovation is that you don't have to pay 100K in order to be a city driver

Yeah, a friend of mine works there and I'm kind of a regular user :)

I live in Madrid and I'm totally ashamed about this.

I used Uber a couple times, the second one this friday, and I friend and I asked the driver what will he do about the fines that will start happening this monday. He just said that he will probably stop driving.

I love these new kind of services and this is not the way to boost innovation.

Our politicians are fucking morons.

So what? I was just saying that, in the long term, he better focuses on doing things that matter

Focus on doing things that matter, not stupid apps/games. I started coding when I was 12 as well. Great age to start!

I always used to open a link on Chrome, switch to the previous app, keep the page loading and then after a few seconds I would open Chrome and see the fully loaded page - however this is a more elegant solution than my "hack".

Installed and already using it.

Does anybody know where https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7421424 (http://savetheinternet.eu) is?

It was on the front page (#2) like an hour ago and it just disappeared. I have searched in the first 5 pages and it isn't there, I guess it was removed from the front page for some reason?

I'm an advisor to the vicepresident of the European Commission Neelie Kroes, she is in charge of the Digital Agenda and it seems that she helped to put this forward.

Although I'm in her group of Young Advisors (we're 25), I didn't know about this until today.

I just sent an email to the other advisors and to some people of the European Commission to see what's up. They're always talking about how to improve net neutrality so I can't understand what's going on here.

Anyway I'm really angry about this shitty law killing net neutrality. This is kind of shocking.

If this law passes, I'll seriously ask myself if I want to continue in my role as an advisor.

I made a library that does the same a week ago: https://github.com/luisivan/spritzer

Just updated the readme to include a link to http://learn2spritz.com/ :)

I made all of those mistakes, and also learnt the hard way. Great post.

Same here, 5 failed login attempts from Venezuela

We know, you cannot get informed of every single trade made because of the P2P architecture. But you can still use the exchange if there are enough trades that you are informed of!

We will only include payment processors that don't allow chargebacks, such as OKPay or WebMoney

Exactly, that's why we will include some graphs about the state of the market so people can figure out their prices

Exactly!

No! No payment has been made yet, because at that point the transference is not valid

Each peer has to determine a price per Bitcoin when opening the order. Then we match the orders that have the same price using a P2P discovery system. So there isn't a global price but rather each user has to choose a price.

Well, that's true, but here we are talking about money and I have never met someone that wants to lose money... also, as Alberto said, we are working on some workarounds to prevent scenarios like that happen :)

If one of the parts doesn't fulfill its order, both the buyer and the seller lose the same amount of Bitcoins. That's the way we prevent scam!

Wow, that's pretty cool, we'll find a way to integrate it :)

I see Alberto has already replied you! BTW if you wanna collaborate the whole development process is totally open and you can drop me an email at me AT luisivan DOT net ;)

Our exchange works without third parties, anyway that's really interesting, we'll check it out, thanks :)

Thank you! :)
