Payment is either broken or a scam. Unsure. It gives what looks like a stripe error. Payment processor is on a Somalian domain and the contact page links to a Nigerian twitter account. Payment company claims to be Belgian. Both this site and the payment site domains have private whois info. Very suspect.

Betting on black probably has a higher success rate than the average startup though.

I worked for the Watson group. It was largely a marketing play which did land with some enterprises but is ultimately a failure because the tech was not there.

I love slack. Slack search is terrible for me, but maybe it's the quality of data it has to search through.

I'm not sure that IBM leadership really understands what direction they want to go. They seem to pivot all-in on a tech sector and then abandon it a few years later. Rinse and repeat. It was AI/Watson, then a cloud platform, now its "hybrid cloud" because they can't compete with the established cloud providers. What will be the all-in bet next week? I also have to mention their strategy of trying to cut their way to prosperity.

I do a bunch of of XML/XSLT work still. I use XPATH 1.0 basically everyday. It's also awesome for web scraping. Overall, it's a great tool that doesn't get a ton of exposure.

> Living somewhere expensive (within your country) seems like a lifestyle choice like any other.
Right. I'm really looking to be able to drive a Tesla and vacation several times a year on remote tropical islands. Should my company pay me more for that choice?

This is great news. I wish worker pay was more based on the value they provide versus where they decide to live. If you're making $200k in the valley and you decide to move to Ohio, why are you suddenly worth less to the company? If everyone goes remote you no longer have to live in a high cost of living area. If you choose to that's on you.

> hey also ban you by default, assuming,
I think I had my account banned the last 3 times I created a new ad. None were against their policies. My account go reinstated each time but still.

Not only will they save money on office space but many of these companies are requiring employees to take pay cuts if they move to a lower cost area. Like all the sudden your value to the company changes because you moved?
