Yep, as the prior comment suggests, the business is legally sat in the US, even if no shareholders or employees are there. I'm the main shareholder and one of the employees (although hired through Deel, a third party service) – so I receive personal income for which I pay taxes in Europe, but that's got nothing to do where the business pays state or federal tax.

Might be different with a LLC, though. This is a C Corp.


Very impressive. I think there's no better time than today to build niche interest groups like these – and it pays.

Starting my dev career, blogging was what ultimately led to my first high-profile internship, which opened so many doors down the line. Big fan!


Totally agree, it can be a game-changer if you invest in it. Thanks for reading my post :)


We've landed in remote job aggregator hell where remote jobs are being aggregated from remote job aggregators.

Right, we need another monthly hiring thread - "Who is aggregating jobs?"


Interesting to know! I switched to Open Sans 300 for now and looked at it from the phone, hope that makes it a little easier on the eyes!


Done!


I switched to Open Sans for now. It looked okay on my machine (also not really a web designer, forgive me!). I hope it's more readable now.


Looks like you only changed the font that will be loaded from Google Fonts; styles.css is still using Lato:

  * {
    font-family: 'Lato', sans-serif;
  }
For clarity, the complaint is primarily about weight 300, not about the font family. Open Sans is a little better than Lato at weight 300, but it’ll still look quite poor on many devices.

Personally, I would ditch the header typeface too. You can surely find something which is fairly unique while still being legible.


Holy crap. This must've come with a starter template. Gone now. Sorry!


Thanks for the rapid fix!


This is true in theory, but I live in a city where tuition to a Top 15 college is $400 per semester, almost nothing.

Yet, people who need to cover their own living expenses have a far smaller success rate, need to drop out more often or need to pause studies to work.

Programs to cover these living expenses exist, but they are limited, and not everyone who is not eligible for these can easily cover all expenses.


This still sounds US related? E.g. many European states will give you a no-questions-asked loan to cover both (reasonable) tuition fees and your living expenses.

When access to education is considered an actual right, living expenses tend to be included in the conversation (as you just pointed out). Unlike merely incidentally affordable education.


Even with education loans, some people can't afford it, because they have to support the family financially now and you lose that opportunity when you're at university.


We've gone from discussing the original point ("Filtering by college degrees is filtering by family wealth more than anything else" is a US centric view: yes or no?) to discussing the efficacy of state bursaries for college education. It's not an inconsequential topic, but it's not the original point anymore.


I don't think the posted is making any discussion of efficacy here, but is simply stating that there are people (non-US) who have to make the economic choice not to attend school, so filtering by degree even outside of the US is problematic.
