They do send out emails like this, however they seem fairly flexible. I have several Vultr instances running, and they're quite happy for me to fund the account as and when if required, and have never automatically charged me.

That said, it is an odd message to send out, and I had my concerns when I first received a similar email. Maybe it's something they should look into altering.

This is still the case. If you login to the same Spotify account on multiple devices, you can choose which device to play on, even if you're not on the same network.

lwithers | 9 years ago | on: Ask HN: Can new graduates get (good) remote work?

Your presumption is correct :).

Thank you for this insight. My GitHub has been largely left untouched as I haven't published many of my projects, I'll prioritise this. I like your recommendation on blogging too, definitely seems a good way to provide a log of what I'm getting up to.

I'm fortunate enough to have had a side-project turn into a successful business, however it's largely automated now and requires very little input, hence looking for a "proper job" upon graduating.

That said, it's been entirely working by myself, so I lack the experience of working within a larger company. Based upon some other comments here, it sounds as though I'll have a real tough time getting into remote work without some proven experience under my belt.

Thanks for the advice, I really appreciate it :)
