Its highly unlikely you'll get to the UK as you have a record which will be visible to the UK authorities & fail the character test. If you apply i'd also advise you not to try and hide it as it would worsen the situation.

Have you considered Nairobi, it is quite a nice place and far from "hell hole". You would not have much trouble accessing it and it has a relatively good standard of life, good jobs and prospects.


Is this even a surprise, the industry moved to a per user model a while back, inc Bitbucket. So its unlimited private repositories but you pay big time to get more than 5 users sharing that repo.

It's surprising most people here aren't picking up on that. If you have more private projects on that make money. It's more likely you have more collaborators that you have to pay.


I've had a similar experience to this guy. It depends on the number of days but I reckon 5x is average. It only takes a couple of days of the first week in a month to cross the threshold of 1x.

Also there can be a secondary multiplier if you have 2 gigs at once. So 5x becomes 10x if you have two.

I don't think most people who do this are interested in going at it this way 252 days a year though but yeah if one's keen to 500k is possible.


How high can you go? Senior devs at google can pull 300k+ with stock at the L5 level, does contracting scale in the same way or is 500k atypical?


Well it depends, people turn it into whole businesses and get additional staff to arbitrage the hourly rates. I've seen a couple get 4m+


Fork it, what's the big deal? What would you do if someone rejects your PR anyway?


There aren't. Matt Levine had an article about it recently, oddly enough on HQ2


I had an allergy to certain types of grasses. I changed my diet a bit to try and alter my gut flora alongside not avoiding the grasses. The allergy is significantly less/not noticable & far more tolerable. I even stopped antihistamines.


I had great success by doing intermittent fasting (I don't do it anymore). I had pollen, grass allergies, various food intolerance. I couldn't eat plums, grapes, figs, cherries, even bananas. My throat would get sore and lips swell.

After changing my diet and doing intermittent fasting for about a year I completely cured myself. I haven't grass allergy in more than 5 years. I can eat any fruit without any signs of discomfort.


Could you describe your diet? What kind of food did you stop and start eating?


No meat, reduced on sweet stuff, pastries.


1) By Brex, its a charge card (like Amex)

2) You pay the bill they send you every month using ACH/your corporate bank account.

3) The credit limit depends on how much you've raised & the company's ability to pay it back. Additionally you need to commit to not using any other bank's credit/charge card.


@ackidacki Thank you for the information.


The argument really comes down to whether to curtail the liberty and veneration of independence that defines this century.


Actually it is more informed than ignorant. Remove Sweden and UK from the the European list and you have needles in a haystack.

Even if you account for the 'unicorn' adge there is barely have innovation in Europe. On the social front too too, European pay and ownership is more concentrated in the hands of the leaders and is less evenly distributed than American counterparts.

Your comment strikes me a bit as if it comes from a defensive point of view instead of taking a hard look at things.


> On the social front too too, European pay and ownership is more concentrated in the hands of the leaders and is less evenly distributed than American counterparts.

I would be very surprised if this was the case. Could you please back this statement with data?


> Remove Sweden and UK from the the European list and you have needles in a haystack.

Remove California and New York from the US list and ...


California and New York are part of the United States. I know people sometimes don't understand this, but the better comparison would be "remove London from the United Kingdom". See how dumb that sounds? That's how dumb "remove California and New York from the US" is.


And Sweden and the UK are part of Europe, so what's the difference?


I never wanted to disable the app, only disable notifications. The app however, made this impossible. It kept having popups and kept redirect to settings to re-enable them. The popups were so bad it made using the app without push notifications impossible. So I just deleted it instead.
