Ah - I didn't think of this angle, but I like it. Thanks.

I'm pretty interested in shifting into a product orientation, so that would be fine by me ;-)

Don't charge by the hour but by the value This sounds like a recipe for disaster to me without a lot more explanation. Time is the main cost to a provider, so it's very natural that time would also be the driver for billing. &

+1 for being well put, but I find the talk of "how much inequality should we tolerate", or "where the multiplier should be", or if it's "necessary that they have that much" to be much more bothersome than

Would investors have invested if the possible return had been a fraction of what it was? That's a far more dubious prospect.

I see this advertised a lot on Facebook. I'm pretty skeptical of this, though. It attempts to detect energy consumption for particular appliances by the pattern of current load, but I can't imagine this being accurate for most p

This isn't really a "computer science" book in general, it's more of a "computer systems" book. A necessary component of component of computer science to be sure, but this title should be changed.

Yes, that, and it also depends on what state taxes on business look like, and you would also pay taxes on any of it that you put back into the business. The point is just that there are many people with arrangements such that they might hav

I'm a bit astonished that it doesn't seem to be pointed out in these comments (and even a bit more astonished that it's not mentioned in the OP) that there are a great many people whose income tax returns will say $250k+, but

Very different, and I imagine probably even more frustrating than a high-friction data entry form. It would take a lot of convincing for me to think submitting an expense report via bot would be better than, say, putting receipts as attach

The way I track expenses is using Scannable (it's an Evernote app). The main point there is to capture the receipt - and it's really, really good at that one thing: capturing. Then I throw away the receipts and fill in the expens

This was a great read, and I was right with the story line. Yep, you're right. It's hard to get to your target market from the app store. Yep, they forget about your app. Yep, Yep, Yep. Oh look, there's a link at the botto

Nicely done, OP. I too, am excited about the new .NET landscape.

Can someone post the TL;DR (uh....TL;DL?) from the podcast here? Looks like a decent discussion going on, but can't tell that anyone actually listened :-) I'll cop to the fact that I'm just not going to spend the time, thoug

1. I said "effectively" a tax on death, because it's levied at the time of wealth transfer, which is almost always at death. 2. There is blaring, obvious religious justification for considering conception to be the beginning

Speaking out of absolutely zero personal experience with diabetes, I have always been under the impression that Type 2 was basically solvable through weight loss and changes in diet. Is this study telling us anything new?

The professor is the one who brought up the safe place terminology in this instance. Not the student. I guess "safe space" (quoted as a term under discussion) isn't really the right term here - but the student is the one wh

Yes, exactly right. Thank you for more clearly articulating what I seemed to have scrawled out with crayons in comparison.

Why do they call it the Death Tax? ...because the estate tax has the effect of being a tax on dying. Why do they call the lobbying for prevention of medical treatment for women, Pro-life? Because we think elective abortions (almost all

A "safe space" is a place where you know you aren't going to be singled out and harmed (verbally or physically) by someone telling you that you're a queer faggot and deserve to die. FWIW, this concept of safe space isn

So, this has everything to do with you not liking how this school runs itself, and not a thing to do with the claim "If you say anything negative about the religion or its teachings, you are kicked out," and not a thing to do with

Not entirely sure what all you're getting at, but you don't find conservatives running around offended that you said "estate tax" instead of "death tax" or, more importantly, trying to make others use their pre

There's a stark difference between a free and voluntary association of like-minded people and a so-called "safe space", which uses a pretext of "victimization" to capriciously thought control others who simply commi

I can see the value of that when someone engages in the designs, but I think the engaging thing there is the choice, not the designs themselves. I'd be curious to know if you could create the same effect with cards that are exactly th
