I think that’s tangential to the parent’s main point.

Man, where can you make $400k in post-tax salary?
273.
by cimmanom 8y ago
Charge based on business value provided. In terms of minimum rates, expect 50% of freelance income to go to overhead including taxes and expenses and (if you’re in the US and this is your main gig) health care. And that your billable hours

In the US at least, asking for DOB and marital status could potentially put the company in hot water. The rest just looks sketchy from an identity theft perspective and is truly unnecessary at the early screening stages of hiring. Even if i

I think the difference here might be the percentage of religious/educational institutions that survive > 1-2 centuries vs. the percentage of commercial ones that do. It's not that corporations can't exist for that long.

How do sperm banks not prevent this (sperm donor being the immediate family of the recipient) from happening in the first place? Seems like this woman might have a case against the sperm bank if she wanted to sue.

Or the stronger version: don't sign up for recurring subscriptions, period. The exceptions are things you strictly need or that serve as investments to help you earn more; and even then, choose the least expensive plan you can possibly

You seem to be suggesting that all values that don't contribute to long-term evolutionary success are not worth pursuing. Perhaps in the thousand-year timeframe it's irrelevant what it means to be a "have" or "have

The way you put it seems to suggest you're disappointed it isn't still male-dominated. As one of the women who was online back then, I didn't perceive it as "masculine", fwiw.
280.
by cimmanom 8y ago
Well, I sort of agree with that, and I was with you until you used the term. But I don’t see anything less masculine about the internet now than as it was in 1993. Perhaps “sanitized” would be more applicable?

Wait, how do you edit/resend a network request?

Is there any way to enable it outside nightly builds?

It’s extremely obscure as a verb in North America too, fwiw. Buffalo the city was probably better known 150 years ago, when it was an economic powerhouse as one of the end points of what’s still the second most famous canal in the Western H

Interesting idea. Sadly the application form seems to suggest its only open to B2B startups, no B2C?

C first. C++ was originally a superset of C, though my understanding is that that is no longer strictly the case. Still, learning C will make it easier to learn C++, because C is far simpler and in order to understand C++ you’ll have to mas

Agreed. And I find that with tools that similar often the trade-offs aren’t obvious until you’re fairly deep into the project. Or that the trade-offs have to do with differences in project philosophy (Rails’ convention over configuration vs

I’ve worked in both open plan and private-office coworking spaces. Both sucked in different ways. The open plan one was great for networking but distracting as all hell. The private office one had glass walls (so minimal actual privacy), bu

In a lot of places this is an implicit rather than an explicit expectation, which makes it more culturally acceptable. It can also be “optional” in the sense that you won’t get fired for underperformance if you don’t put in extra hours, but

Which doesn't explain the ones with neither haptic nor audible feedback.

Also, in New York, intersections whose signals don't change automatically on a (reasonably short) buttonless timer are vanishingly rare.

Right. What I'm saying is that from the insurer's POV, it's far more cost effective to cover birth control than not to.
299.
by cimmanom 8y ago
In a way it's ironic, too, in terms of the insurer saving money. A pregnancy and birth is far more expensive any birth control method I can think of... other than perhaps abortion - which (get this, religious fundamentalists) inexpens

Could you elaborate on that?
