I don't think anyone can convince employers as most would prefer longer hours, misplaced or not. Nevertheless they understand financial incentives e.g. probably better off respecting labour laws.

Google told the BBC: "This is not new - we have defended similar cases before. We don't believe it has any merit and we will contest it." Google agreed to pay a record $22.5m (£16.8m) in a case brought by the US Federal Tr

I quite like how the title says its instead of e.g customers. Lenovo has only just settled a massive $3.5 million fine for preinstalling adware on laptops without users' consent, and now it seems HP is getting in on the stealth inst

I'm with you and would go a step further, if anything ad/tracking blocking should be opt-out for any pro consumer browser.

Different strokes. I would really like if people who prefer dumb devices (TWI - things without internet) would have more choices, but it seems like this is still a niche not really worth catering to.

Well, I did, but it never got any responses. It is a platform where peers can give feedbacks 1. to each other. It was customary at many companies I worked to evaluate at retrospectives how we did the past sprint: what went right and what to

There is a reason we don’t tend to hire people who show up to work in dirty t-shirts. It is not that we particularly care about dirty t-shirts, it is that we want people who care about their work. I don't quite agree the cleanliness

Are you using a vanilla browser or do you have a content blocker installed perhaps? There is a very noticeable difference in load times and I would definitely consider the former 'slow'. I agree though, that rendering performance

I really like 'plain' Openresty and Lua and use it to power my backend. It is very straightforward and minimal. Nginx is always in the mix and using homogenous technology in the stack simplifies things even further. Also experimen

You are dodging the questions. You don't even have to move to another country, salaries vary wildly throughout a country and there are obvious outliers think NYC, SV or even London. And then we are talking about contracting/freela

Equal work = equal pay. Don't you think this is reasonable?

Indeed they are, but it has very little to do with fairness.

Do you think the prices offered on freelancing sites are fair? Would you be willing to work for such prices? Why do you think freelancing is considered a race to the bottom? Why do you care which ISP someone uses when committing to a reposi

Many things have globally fixed prices. A car costs the same. Gas is probably cheaper in a developed country especially in the USA. Food is probably on par or cheaper . A $1000 phone is the same in all countries. The PC someone works with c

Semantics, there is similar argument there without the exponential growth they are closer to a (micro) saas than a startup (discalimer, I've no idea how big Snipcart is) and their return is ~on par with the investment.

I like the takeaways, but the no VC seems to be quite an exaggeration. They invested temporary resources (design, frontend) and a full-time salary (mine) into Snipcart, our developer-first e-commerce platform.
