I am trying to develop a new marketing channel based on trust and referral.

Here's the thing: Eastern Europe has been an increasingly attractive hub for Software Engineers in general, with hourly rates starting at $50 / hr for a senior developer.

However, most of the US companies are still hesitant to hire, despite giving a free one-month trial, and other risk-free ways of working together.

I think it all comes back to trust: no one does business with someone on a whole different continent.

If you're based in the United States, and you have a strong network of business owners, startup founders or scale-ups, my proposal for you would be:

1. If you introduce a Software Developer from Romania, I will pay you 100$ / interview scheduled.

2. In case that interview goes well and the person is hired, I wanna pay you a lump sum of $1000!

Obviously, you can talk with the engineer before giving the referral and to be fully transparent, I will act as a Contract Recruiting Agency from Eastern Europe.

Thoughts?

Hi HN,

I'm building an insurance / fintech app but just realised that the cost for high quality premium datasets are really expensive.

I believe it should be brought down close to $0 and it should be usage based (if not, monthly but extremely cheap).

What really hard to find and expensive datasets should be drastically cheaper that one would pay for?

I'm on the look out for this for my insurance / fintech app.

Another thing, I really want to avoid those "Contact Sales" types, since I cannot evaluate the quality of the dataset myself.

Thanks you!

A vulnerability categorized as “critical” in a photo app installed by default on Synology network-attached storage devices could give attackers the ability to steal data and worse.

If you can't find your Social Security card, you can get another one. Here's how.

I'm working on making a conversational AI assistant feel more engaging and personable, and I'd love to know what kind of prompts you use (or have seen used) to add personality, character, or warmth to virtual assistants.

Whether it’s for fun or practical use cases, I’m looking for creative ideas that make an AI more relatable, like specific phrases, unique speaking styles, or interesting backstories.

Why do we need to put await in front of async calls? I hate it. In other languages like python you don't have to. Why can be await not be the default so I don't have to write it and specify asynchron when I need it?
