In addition, if someone reaches the "I need two hands to open this and both hands are full" stage and can not figure out a solution, it would appear that IQ is still the limiting factor.

Some of the jobs listed on the site date from 2013 - it seems as though some housekeeping is required.

The Who is Hiring threads on HN have been pretty useful - you tend to find likeminded people.

If you need any part-time assistance with DevOps-related topics (Continuous Delivery/Integration, etc.), I'd be interested in hearing more - my email is in my profile.

> Anyway it just strikes me as mean-spirited. I doubt the EU leaders really care about immigration that strongly.

Freedom of movement of trade, people/labour, capital and services is the core founding principle of the EU - they care about it a lot.

> Regardless, I suspect they won't do it because it would be irrational.

If Britain is given a deal that allows them all of the benefits of EU membership without any of the perceived downsides, all other EU member states will want this better deal too. Giving the UK such a deal would cause a number of additional countries to leave the EU. Thus, it would be irrational for the EU to give the UK a deal which would lead to the eventual breakup of the EU.

> I believe the EU has free trade deals with Australia and Canada, without unrestricted immigration.

There are essentially three ways to trade with the EU: As a member state (Britain's current position, France, Germany, etc.), as a member of the EEA (Norway), or under WTO rules (Australia).

If the UK wants one of the first two options they will need to allow freedom of movement. If Australia (somehow) applied for membership of the EU or EEA it would need to allow freedom of movement for EU citizens.

You raise an interesting point. The prices seem too high for some commenters. They are presumably capable of doing this themselves on a DO box so they do not think it is valuable enough to justify that price.

However, one of the features of their highest price ($39/month) plan is that you can use 100 custom domains. If you have 100 domains hosted on Route 53 you will be paying over $50/month for domains, at which point $39/month for the service which actually hosts your static site is entirely negligible. I am curious how many people fall in to that bucket though - it seems more likely that people will run multiple sites with few custom domains, rather than a single site with 100 custom domains.

I am planning to offer some of Netlify's services in a product I am currently building. I'm still working on the pricing model but it is likely to be based on builds per month and bandwidth/storage, rather than the actual number of sites. My cost driver is not 'how many domain names are configured in my HTTP-routing layer', but rather 'how much pressure is each site putting on my build and web servers'.

My bank (Netherlands) offers something like what you describe, and I would still prefer to be able to use services like Mint.

> Planning requires thought, so I'm skeptical that you can automate a budget and then have people follow it (unless it's a very lenient budget).

I agree with your point - your budget is specific to your situation, so you will still need to plan it yourself. But - once the budget is set up - don't you see some value in not having to update your spreadsheet and compare it to your bank statements? Or getting a notification on your phone that you are approaching the limit of your entertainment budget this month, because the system has tallied up how much you spent in the coffee shop?

> I was going to ask, why do you need to give third parties read access to your account?

Tax is not the only reason. How about data analysis services for your personal finances? e.g. mint.com.

> This is fixable. 6 months maternity leave followed by 6 moths paternity leave. Make it a law that spouses have the right to that 6 months.

This is similar to how it works in parts of the EU. You have maternity leave, paternity leave, and parental leave. The latter can be taken by either parent. The amount of time allocated to each category varies from country to country.

Leave must be requested (I think) 21 days in advance, and an employer that punishes you for taking parental leave can be taken to an employment tribunal.

> Does anyone remember the incident where Amazon just decided that they needed to delete books they had sold to Kindle users and just went in and did so off everyone's Kindle?

Yes. Amusingly, the books in the case I remember were Nineteen Eighty-Four and Animal Farm.
