I used this wonderful trick to sign up for my government issued eID (it was something else but works for explaining). What they decided to do is to simply remove the + and don’t let me know about it. my_email+service@foo.bar thus became my_

In my particular country people do indeed talk post-taxes. Personally, I negociate my contracts, with employer and / or collaborators, on the pre-tax sums, which is the brut.

I guess it’s a matter of life experience. I couldn’t point to a research paper on it more than Chris Voss’ work on negotiation. I find “why?” is more aggressive and makes people talk more about the generalities of the idea, whereas with “ho

I was the tehnician type for a very long time, until I realized it was keeping me back. Now, whenever I encounter an idea guy, I just ask 'how' and 'what' (never 'why!') until I understand what they actually wa

Hi. Hotlinking doesn't work directly, but I figured out what you were pointing to: the portal from Dr. Strange. I took the liberty to illustrate how I remember it, note that the picture is randomly from the internet and not as it was:

I grew up very good friends with two brothers that had wealthy parents. We built our first company together at 18 and failed. Since then, for about 5 years I did full time corporate work while they failed maybe two dozen businesses. The nic

Do you mind asking me what kind of cloud you are storing? I've tried deploying a Nextcloud instance via Docker-Compose to a Free Tier EC2 on AWS and found the CPU to spike randomly to 100% and require a machine restart to free up. I&#x

You're talking about employment as if they're working 9 - 5 in construction. These people are amplified by their networks, they don't work for eachother. The better their networks performs, by connections, or by value, or by

It doesn't matter though. In the end. What happens if that person doesn't do that very unspecific thing every 5 minutes on their PDA? Can they not complete their job still? Does the parcel not get delivered unless it is logged in

No point in the post. I get horribly anxious when my food delivery takes just a little bit more than the estimated time, which is already in the 40 minute range, so pretty low. Then after I eat, I think about how spoiled I am by society, an
