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.

Only to a point. I think the limit is around $100,000.00 nowadays. Anything over that gets taxed by both the country you live in and the U.S. (if you're a U.S. citizen).
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 :)
Edit: you have to not be logged in (delete cookies if you did), then click the link to verify. There's no where to paste the code that's sent in the email.
