I think you're kind of comparing apples to oranges, the discussion isn't about how much for example Google Australia pays employees in Australia, but how much Google USA would pay remote employees working across the US.

I realize you really want to drive down this concept of disliking human interaction because you've made your mind that if you want to work from home this must be true, but being bothered by people that interrupt you when you're do

Yes, it would show up, as that's how it's rendered, artifacts and all.

> not sure why they even bothered trying. Because not everyone is willing/able to negotiate and even if this tactic only works on 10% of people that buy a car, that's still a nice commission for the sales guy.

It's actually very unlikely for this to be the case for the three SSDs. If what is presented in the video is actually happening, there would be no reason for the fraudster to pay for 3 SSDs with a stolen card and send them to the custo

Definitely not the case for Romania. Even though I haven't used a landline in over a decade, if either party would hang up, the call would end.

I'm not sure I follow. If you've ended the call, and you call the bank number on your card, how exactly would the call get routed to the scammers?

Azure bandwidth out of their Africa datacenters is $0.181 per GB, while AWS is $0.154 per GB, will be interesting to see if this forces Azure prices down.

This was mostly a cost comparison I wanted to show, as the solutions of rolling your own set up at home vs a cloud set up are definitely very different. At 10TB, you're paying $600/year on B2, a price at which you could outright b

by cbg0 7y ago
If you don't need to have your data in the cloud, there's also the option of just buying the drives, backing up your data and then putting them in a box, no need to keep them spinning unless you need frequent access to said data.

Even with reports like these, I think it will be tough to convince managers that are set in their ways to open up to allowing their employees to work remotely. While anecdotal, most companies seem to have approached the current state of aff
