Reread the post. I did comply with employment law, fully. The blog post is about income tax filings.

Uh, Justworks is for employment and payroll, not income taxes or Secretary of State filings. The blog post is about the latter. As it happens, I did use a payroll service, Gusto.

@dang Someone edited my headline in such a way that it ridicules the blog post and does not reflect the topic. Questions: 1. Who gets to edit headlines? 2. Is doing this ok? Original: Don't hire remote employees living in California Cu

You're absolutely right. I am personally to blame for Illinois' tax rate, gun violence, and financial condition, and I really shouldn't talk. I'll go quietly now...

Moron here. I did pay employment-related taxes. I don't owe income taxes, because I had no income there. This blog post is about excessive paperwork, surprises, unnecessary income tax filings, and the franchise fee. And the fact that C

I did that. I paid all of the employment-related taxes and filed all of the paperwork, including with EDD. This article is about income taxes, franchise fees, and absurd levels of paperwork. Nobody benefits from excessive paperwork and ov

I was fully aware that being an employer means filing all employer-related paperwork, withholding, unemployment insurance, and dealing with various employment-related regulations, and I did that. I was not aware that hiring a remote employe

They have to sign the rider as well. Have a signature block on it. Also, in the signature block on the main contract, hand write in something like "agreed, as modified by the rider." That way you've made it clear that you hav

There are a couple of techniques that I have used in the past that have worked well. First, don't edit the proposed contract itself. Instead, add a rider that specifically overrides the provisions you don't like. Something like &q

Not true, and also not possible. If a kid or parent can log in from offsite, it is not technically possible to force all browsers or systems to monitor and restrict activity. I can log in through Firefox (or curl, for that matter) and not h

My error. I should have said 18 USC 1001 and the following entries all under Chapter 47. There's quite a few examples there. There are also a bunch under Chapter 63.

18 USC 1001, plus others. Mail fraud would be one vehicle. Also conspiracy.

Fraud is criminal. They should have filed criminal charges.

Exactly. Their revenues are approximately half a billion dollars. The 10 million-dollar fine will do nothing. A few days in jail for the senior people would have a much bigger effect.

@akorotkov I'm interested also. I see the forked and patched version here, https://github.com/orioledb/postgres , but I don't see any documentation on what changes you made.

For services like this, I'm always suspicious about pricing. I see an hourly rate, but it's hard for me to figure out how much it's costing me to have you manage this instead of me. As a result, I rarely buy software at an ho
