The good news here, is that many countries have double taxation treaties. So that you don't get taxed by 2 countries for the same income.

The weather is vastly different and very cold, but I enjoy and missed the winter, and spring is almost here as well.
The people are not as open to talk to strangers, but I've noticed that once they do open up, they are fun, honest people.
I believe education is free over here, I haven't looked into it from an immigrant's perspective.
I don't speak Estonian, as I currently don't need to... There are a bunch of tech companies who's primary language is English, so the incentive is still low, but if we do decide to stay long-term, I plan on learning it.
Estonia has quickly grown to be a very technological advanced country. I had several interviews within a week when I started applying, and I don't regret my decision.
Who knows, it may change in a few years, but even if it does, I can always get up and move again.
This is awesome, had the same idea not too long ago. Was about to start a kickstarter campaign based on it, until life got in the way. Here's the prototype we built if anyone wants to mess around with it:

Author of hnhistory.net here. Thanks for mentioning it. I didn't get any feedback back then. This will give me some motivation to work on it again.
Mine actually scrapes hn... This was done before the api came out.
Once you click on "Start Tutorial", looks like it does an animation thing, but then just takes you back to the screen to where you can click "Start Tutorial" again...
I just realized that this keeps on going in a circle until you verify your email...
So if you think it's not working for because it is buggy, make sure you check your email and verify your account :)
This is a great link, thank you!
I found a project someone is working on that seems really interesting: "Music player server with a web-based user interface"
No these are simply a reflection of the top 30 links of HN captured every hour. It's pulling them from HN's rss feed.
The point here is to find something that was at the top a number of days ago.
I sometimes also find that I like a bunch of the posts on HN that I want to read at a later time, and then I don't refresh HN for a while, because I'm scared to lose those links.
With HN History I don't have to :)
Maybe if a user writes 5-10 summaries in a month, and his summary gets picked, he/she get's access for free the next month.
Can't wait to see what you do now :D
Here's an Idea:
See how many people show interest in paying for it, and how many do not want to pay for it.
If it's worth it, let the people not wanting to pay for it summarize it for "free" access to your service, now you don't have to write the summaries, you just approve others' summaries.
Are all these summaries going to be hand-written?
Who will be writing them, how many people would you have on backup in case you can't write the summaries for that day? -- Since, you know, people would be paying for the service.
With the Hacker Newsletter, if I don't get it sometimes, I don't really care, since it's free. However, if I were paying for a service I might feel different about it.
I wouldn't mind trying it, but I don't think I'd pay for it. But, who knows, others might! Good luck to you.
edit: "free" in the sense that I do not pay anything. However, there usually is a sponsored ad (obviously geared towards the HN community) with the weekly email.
That was my intention:
Learning the practical side of PHP and MySQL, without having to deal with too much design and markup.
At the same time I didn't want my project to like a POS, which is the main reason I used Bootstrap.
