Depends on volume and risk profile. There are many very sharp Authorize.Net resellers out there that will work with you to get a great rate for your situation. I've seen 2.2% rates on 50k/mo of processing for low risk customers. O

Its not just a communication problem, it's a pattern. You guys did the same thing last year when you stopped returning fees on refunds. I couldn't believe my eyes when I read that you weren't returning fees anymore. I get not

Having read both Kiyosaki and Ferris, I see their views a bit differently. Neither of them suggest a goal to eventually quit working. They might say stuff like "never have to work again" for marketing purposes, but the key there i

Did you _build_ the business on 4 hours a week over 10 years? That'd be maybe one full time year worth of work over the period. Is it now fully supporting you, i.e. more than 6 figures of profit? If you did that on four hours a week ov

Interesting that it's more substantial on older CPU's. The cynic in me wonders if that's a way to force an upgrade from CPU's that normally would be fine for most typical office use.

That looks very promising! Any experiences with it?

The point is to have a VOIP number that is abstracted from the real world, but to everybody else looks like a normal 10 digit phone number. That way I can answer on my desktop at work, phone on the go, or log in from anywhere and still have

Yep, but only if you play in their sandbox. I'm not going to jump from one walled garden to another, particularly when it's going from GV which is at least cross platform to a Apple only solution. I'd be tempted if they ever

The one thing keeping me on Google is Google Voice. I have yet to find another solution that allows calling and SMS in/out on desktop and mobile all from the same number. What I need is simple, a single VOIP number linked to: - Calling

That all depends on _where_ on the back of the phone. With my Nexus 6P, the fingerprint sensor is located right where my index finger naturally goes while holding the phone. With a correctly located rear fingerprint sensor, it becomes an au

Happy Artpip user from that Show HN here. You may want to clarify on the home page that it's $10 bucks for life -- I almost didn't buy because I thought it was $10/mo. $10 for life is a no brainer. $10/mo you have to thi

Certainly, and I am in full agreement with you on pretty much everything you said. I'm ranting against those who continually tell me "it's not that bad", "suck it up", "you're lucky you have insurance

Municipalities are lazy. Instead of doing their research and suing individual owners, which they should be doing as those are the folks not paying taxes, they look for the aggregators like AirBnb which are a big target and sue them instead.

Yep, prices were rising before ACA and continued to rise thereafter. I'm not sure on the rate of increase, but the absolute levels are getting to the impossible. Regardless of the cause, it's extremely frustrating to be hit with s

"There is no special "business property tax" for AirBnB/VRBO type rentals" There's no extra property tax, but most places require sales tax to be paid on all short term rentals and many charge lodging tax on to

It also causes folks in one tax bracket to keep their income down for fear of paying way more. I've had conversations with multiple people who were deadly afraid of earning another dollar because they thought their entire income would

Don't forget the other 7.65% social security and Medicare that his employer pays on his behalf. So total tax burden for Joe now is actually over 20%... And 18% Fairfax would be much less regressive.

What makes you think that pathogenic bacteria never contained antibiotic resistant genes before humans developed antibiotics? I've never seen a study that proves that antibiotic resistant genes were never in pathogenic bacteria. Seems

That looks perfect, looking forward to it! I was doing a little more research and it looks like MySQL doesn't support table valued functions at all right now -- not built-ins, not custom. I didn't realize that, I guess I just assu

Very cool! What about the inverse, going from a JSON array to rows? Perhaps I am dense on the existing MySQL JSON functionality, but I haven't been able to figure that one out. For example, say I have a JSON array and want to insert a

I use and love Hangouts for this exact reason. I haven't found anything that can do the IM+Voice+SMS combo crossplatform. I don't get why Google isn't pressing Hangouts hard vs. letting it languish. It really should be a core

Those things should also produce artifacts that can be reviewed by someone knowledgeable in tech. Besides, it's not a day by day review, it should be week or month. If you haven't produced any artifacts in a week or a month then.

You can't go based on something purely objective like lines of code, but a good code review will tell you if someone is working or slacking.

That's the interesting thing. It's the opposite of deskilling that the parent was talking about. Instead of removing skilled jobs and increasing a job pool of less skilled ones, tech can increase efficiency of master craftsman to

Inflation and zero interest rates kills on two levels -- prices go up and saving is useless at a (near) zero percent return. To make a return in this market, you either need to be rich and have access to investments funded by cheap debt or
