I had this problem, and solved it by giving discounts. Hopefully, your pricing will allow this. It is fairly standard to see a notation on an invoice like 1/10 net 30 That means you will give a 1% discount if they pay in 10 days, or th

Many business policies are negotiated by union & business, and some using "tripartism" - usually union & business & government. I'd like to see more involvement of other interest groups - more of a corporativism m

You know, multi-level boards have a long history in the United States and the world. I would like to see other representatives on boards. I know that Denmark has required employees on boards for years, but I think that system can be improve

You say: "Laws that practically apply to a small group or single person are not unconstitutional as a class" - but isn't that exactly what would be needed to define the actions of this scumbag as illegal and punishable by fin

I spent time at Apple and Sun. And we did have the concept of "firing" customers who were too hard to work with. At the same time, no customer would have been fired for the exchange I read (in another article.) This is just anothe

It's fine to quote theory, but there are plenty of examples of laws passed which apply to a single person or small group. My impression is that they are written in such a way as to make them seem to apply to a general case - which just

It's routine for riders to be put on bills to benefit the rich or big business - I'd like to see a rider to make a law to throw this guy in jail and take his money. Our society is supposed to serve our community - and this fellow

I was once asked to be in charge of an acquisition. We would let the new group (over 100 people in a building on the East Coast) keep doing the same work with the same management. What they didn't know was that that is code for keeping

If you have a life and job like that, you should definitely hold on to it. It certainly doesn't sound like the past 15 years I've spent in Silicon Valley. With commute and flights and extra hours and company events, I'm confi

And, I would add, I've been around several multi-billionaires. They have already transferred the wealth to themselves, and the "income" numbers will show them receiving relatively small incomes. They use offshores to do their

I would like to see more laws to help create a better work environment for everyone. We all spend most of our time at work -- yet, somehow, we seem to give up every right as a human being when we become employees. I do think that "hire

I've often thought about how different things would be if programming editors had always allowed for image integration (with hiding of course.) That would mean that every source tree would have been able to integrate explanatory graphi

It would be great if you could explain why org-mode is better. I'm not familiar with it. Edit: Just realize that it is something specific to emacs. No further information necessary.

It was culture shock for me when I became a Product Manager for Database at Oracle. In one day, I was suddenly getting 50-100 phone calls every day - and even more emails than that. And these were emails/calls from all over the world.

I'd like to see laws which prevent the US sales of products which don't support the US. We could restrict sales regions, channels, marketing, offices, or anything else we think is appropriate. If they pull out completely...great!

You might want to look up the definition of evidence. My reading of three definitions just doesn't quite match your definition. But no big deal. I think we agree, and this has become about word interpretation.

I used to think that people deserved what they earned. Then I worked for Steve Jobs and I realized that no human being can really earn the incredible sums of money that they are receiving. I remember the day that a big semi-truck mistakenly

Maybe it's because I've been working with computers for so many years, but as I was reading this paper I was thinking of all the exceptions to the points that it was making. I've seen too much time spent optimizing a product

Well, I'm no expert on salt - but as a Neti pot user I can instantly tell when I'm using grocery store salt. And, coincidentally, I worked for several years at the shore beside salt collection fields. We all used to joke that we h

I think the problem can be simplified. Apple and Steve hid the bulk of their wealth from all taxation (I have personal knowledge of this being true.) So figuring out what they are hiding and how they are hiding it is the first issue to solv

Good point. From my perspective, the major problem with free trade is that it lets the billionaires move production offshore and avoid all taxes while hiding their obscene profits. (And they then import the products while laying-off US empl

When I read this article in light of the just published numbers showing that 32 people have a wealth equivalent to half the world's population - I have to ask myself, is worker training the right solution to the jobs and wage problems?

I agree, of course. And is it reasonable to say "they were reaching for my gun" or "they were moving toward me" or "I felt threatened"? These all seem like well-practiced platitudes. But having said that, I&#x2
