Side question: What is the current average rent per apartment in SF/SV? What's the current average income? This report from 04/2016 states around $118k/year for income, probably base, and $4,5k rent: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2016-04-05/san-franc... - What do you think - still up to date and realistic?
With a roommate and no rent control monthly cost is 1500-1800. For a studio ~2500. 1br closer to 3000. 3 bedroom homes for a family are easily 6k+.
If you are young and don't mind living with others or in small spaces you can save a lot here. This usually ends with children where families frequently move to cheaper locales like Austin.
At the young startup ottonova we're creating a new digital private health insurance for Germany. We're looking for a full time on-Site Senior Android Developer for our Munich office. English is our primary language, we'll support with relocation/Visa, we're very tech centric and also count ourselves to the FinTech and InsureTech hype.

4 years ago might as well be a lifetime in Cordova/PhoneGap land. Things have changed quite dramatically, even the web APIs available alone have evolved quite a bit. We launched ionic beginning of 2014 and it wouldn't have been possible before as the browser runtime just wasn't ready.
Also everyone had to build UI from scratch before Ionic and other frameworks, and that was just crazy.
I tried to get back into PhoneGap after a two year absence. This was after the PhoneGap/Cordova split and it seemed to me like the entire ecosystem was in smoldering ruins.
Figuring out if you need to use either the PhoneGap or the Cordova binaries, and then finding correct documentation for the respective forks, was in itself a big hassle. But no more than trying to get the toolchain up and running. Holy backflipping cow was that a nightmare. I have managed to repress the details but it was something with installing NPM and then typing in magic commands and hoping some byzantine series of effects would occur correctly, which they never did.
I somehow managed to hack and slash the platform into a working configuration, only to discover that performance (for games) was still far from adequate. I'm sure it has its (non-game) uses, but the developer experience was probably the worst I have ever experienced.
MonoGame is rough code with a rough build system and a lot of strange behavior. Frequently undocumented, too. I would suggest investigating FNA (a significant fork of MonoGame used in 40+ shipped titles) instead; I have had my tangles with its primary developer but the code quality is significantly improved and it's really worth your time. Doesn't support the PS4, but you can code to the XNA baseline and then hack around MonoGame for the PS4 later.
Never experienced frame lag with Crossy Roads, and I played it a bit. Something like this _can_ happen with Unity, but if it happens it's 99,99% bad programming, and not the engine's fault, unless you do graphically extensive things, which Crossy Roads certainly didn't.
You're probably right, I should have changed the headline here (I didn't write the story), but I found it so interesting and worth sharing that I totally not thought about it.
Also the link to "reverse culture shock" in the story added a reason for me to share it here (doesn't always have to be about tech, I personally enjoy non-tech stories on HN a lot, because my whole life is tech already :) )
AFAIK PayPal only do this if they have internal proof that laws are already being broken on the according websites. I don't know Seafile, but the same happened to other file hosters in the past which silently and willingly accepted that copyrighted material is exchanged by using their services.
