Declan here - appreciated your role/team description, looks like a great team culture. Applied :)


Looks awesome :) applied!


Thanks! Can you shoot me an email @ brian [at] company domain so I can find your application?


want, where is that setting?


I use my own Sitetruth add-on. There must be others, though.


I just use duck duck go, though they finally copied Google’s “fuck it, you probably didn’t mean to type those “”’s. Here are some irrelevant corners of the internet! YOLO!” feature.

Ironically, Google now honors quotation marks again (returning zero results, like ddg should), but then it produces pages of “how to use a search engine” drivel, below the “no results found” message.


wondered the same thing, are your remote roles location based for visa and salary purposes? I was always super interested to apply but I'm based in Asia.


You assume that they care if the public are provoked.


In Hong Kong, the only lockdown we've been in this entire time is forcing people from certain countries to go into quarantine. In fact, most of our cases recently have all been HK residents coming back to HK from places like London, Paris, Madrid and bringing the virus back with them.

I'd point out that the HK government has done an okay job, but by no means were the people happy with how they handled it. There were protests from the Hospital Authority demanding them to close the border to Mainland China and they outright ignored it.

The main reason why these countries are doing a good job is because of the people. You go outside and everyone has a mask on. Why? To protect each other. Everyone has been working from home from day 1 of this virus and, impressively, the panic buying only lasted a week or so. The people are in it together and I can't imagine the same ever really happening in Europe.


Quite the opposite regarding Carrie Lam. There is a lot of anger towards the government over how they are handling the virus, specifically the insufficient mask supplies and not closing the border with China. Even the pro-Beijing supporters are angry with the government, and pro-Beijing parties are criticising the government in order to gain support in time for the September LegCo elections.


Exactly, but somehow my post below gets two downvote. I wonder why.


The police are phsyically attacking the people, it's quite different. Yes, this app helps protestors, but it also helps the public avoid being treated extremely violently by the police.


I never said what the people were doing was wrong. All I said was that it would be illegal in some places if it’s being used for that.


Dude, in HK the police raise are legally obliged to raise flags to warn the public of things such as firing tear gas, dispersing crowds, illegal assembly etc. They will also post on Twitter to notify the public where and when they will disperse the public. The HK police force wants the public to know where they are, so in the context of HK, banning this app is kind of ridiculous.

Considering the brutality of the HK police force in recent months, I would argue that this app is great at providing the public with information on how to avoid being tear gassed, beaten or arrested by avoiding the police. A lot of locals have been extremely pissed off with the police force. They have gone into very residential areas and fired tear gas unnecessarily among a whole host of other things.


Underrated comment


"For young Hong Kongers however, they didn't live during British rule. They were born into wealth, and now their own career prospects (like many millenials around the world) aren't great. So they protest."

Everything here is just wrong...Are the elder citizens also protesting? Yes. Were today's young protestors born into wealth? No. Are they protesting their career prospects? No. Are they protesting for their human rights? Yes.
