Wow, I always thought retailmenot was like a small 2 person company with a bunch of scripts to scrape coupons and rank high in SEO. What do their 500+ employees do.

This sounds like pure PR spin to make chase sound like some altruistic advertising adverse bank.

very cool

If they did turn into a subscription model... what would you be willing to pay per month? 7.99-9.99,maybe 19.99?

This is becoming my biggest annoyance with streaming services. The integration with your OS(iOS or android) makes it a much more attractive option when using those devices.

My second biggest annoyance is the increasing trend of "artist exclusives" if you pay a monthly fee and your favorite artist are giving exclusives to the other services I'm less inclined to continue using that service(Spotify) because I don't get the content I want. I don't want to pay for 2 or 3 streaming services. That fracturing of availability is more likely to people going back to pirating music in my opinion.

I would suggest something similar. Looking for remote developers if possible those are 3 of the highest salaries markets.

In terms of skill set. If you hire React developers they should do fairly well in terms of development.

Unless of course your app will need a lot of customizing then you may need someone who can understand and develop in objective-c/swift and/or Java.

85-110k depending on location and experience

Also, supported the nifty drive... great idea, by the time I got it, I didn't need it anymore.

Just making a joke

> "The other reason we don't need to be freaking out, says Romesberg, is that these molecules have not been designed to work at all in complex organisms, and seeing as they're like nothing found in nature, there's little chance that this could get wildly out of hand."

This is how the plot of every horror/disaster movie starts.

Unless he signed a 365 day non-compete which is fairly standard. In which case he would be in breach of contract.

The total cost per employee. 18.90 x 40hrs x 50weeks = 37,800.

Don't give up! I know it sucks, but if development is your passion keep going. I landed my first job at 27 with no experience and no degree. Now 7 years later I'm so happy my first start up took a chance on me. I see that you're in Toronto have you ever thought about moving?

I've got to go and re-watch this it's been a while.

Redis is awesome, thanks and now seeing all this praise I'm going to have to go and check out the source code!

This looks like a neat service. Browsing through it it was hard to get a sense, what exactly is the use case other than a digital playground. Is this meant to be used for something production-level or just fun a tool to play/explore/experiment with?

Knowing the range is definite incentive to apply for a job or submit an application. Too many times a company will not list it and then the range is well below what I would be looking for. I will say glassdoor has helped a bit, because usually that is my first stop when an interesting company has an opening, that gives me at least some degree of what to expect.

I'm not looking for 200k but if you're budget is about 70k then I don't want to waste their engineers, managers, whoever or my own time.

You could say that work is already done. Generate a rails API app and then use whatever front end you want.

I have a similar story I recently set out to build a SaaS product and wanted to use/learn elixir. I enjoyed using elixir but a lot of the fairly complex things I wanted to do requires quite a bit of learning and custom solutions. I wound up scraping that version after 2 months and rewriting it in Ruby/Rails in about a week. And adding new features.

A few months ago I discovered that spotify was causing my laptop battery to drain whenever it was open and I was not using it. I didn't bother to dig into it further but I guess that's what was causing the problem. I don't use Spotify ever so I wound up deleting it.

I took a 8% pay cut to work from home when I accepted a new position. The company said they couldn't match my currently salary but living in NY and being able to move to a lower priced housing and not having to pay for the commute more then made up for the loss in income. Not to mention the peace of mind and flexibility of working and not having to deal with the NYC commute, I think it's been well worth it personally.

One of the best most thorough comments I've ever seen. Thank you for citing all those sources.

While I understand the sentiment it seems like a confusing message to put out there. With the "P2P" label when it's not a typical P2P model.

Good for him. This makes me happy. We need more people with this attitude in the world.

Suicide Squad was very entertaining sure it had a few missteps but it's not that bad. I mean was anybody expecting Inception? It was far more enjoyable than Man of Steel or BVS or Pan or many of the other bombs WB has made recently.

I initially thought that is what they built but, They went the snapchat route.

This sounds like someone was trying to do some deceptive advertisting and did not know about the technology they were using :O

thanks! will clone this

The state of our healthcare system is terrible. I really have to think twice about going to the doctor because I don't know what it will cost me for simple procedures.

I worked tech support for 6 years for a large telco in the northeast it was the most miserable, mundane part of my life. They were so poorly managed and so focused on bottom line that customers wants and needs were not important. Helping customers was the least important thing as long as you didn't talk to them for more than 8 minutes and you didn't appear to be rude.
