They give you a project that's supposed to take 8 hours, with a loose definition so you can take your own approach to it. Having been through the process, the project is definitely not something they'd take and use for themselves,

When I started the process years ago, I only saw bad things about Toptal. Went through anyways and have only good things to say. The most vocal are always the negative, and a lot of them were people who never got through the selection proce

I do, it really depends on the client. I like working with small businesses and most of those are just a quick conversation about what they're looking for.

It's almost like a full job interview process with many parts. Keeping details minimal because of NDA, I had 3 "rounds" including online assessment and video interviews.

I'm on the "DevOps" side which tends to demand less $ from what I hear, but I get between $90 and $130/hr for hourly gigs (my preference). There's also Part-Time and Full-Time gigs that guarantee 20 hours and 40 hou

I definitely get spam at special addresses. Minted (data breach) is one, and another company sold my info for similar interests.

I have no direct experience, but every time I see Illinois mentioned on commentary (HN, reddit, etc.) it's always surrounding corruption.

As stated, Shopify has no recurring subscription system (which is astounding since it seems basic enough for them to offer, but I guess they're getting profits either way). I've experimented with a few popular recurrence "app

Prosecutors prosecute crimes, in criminal court cases. Citizens can only bring civil cases. The public can't have a prosecutor bring a civil case.

So legally speaking, the person in a civil suit typically has to be the one harmed, or have some major interest in the harming of someone their connected to (if that person can't bring a suit themselves). Texas' working of this is

In both cases, intentional harm or neglect was caused by a person resulting in the death of the baby. I see no difference between this and someone being charged for double homicide in killing a pregnant mother. Still doesn't prove the

But that's always been true, data can always be used against you regardless of what the laws are.

Texas' situation is specifically worded for the state not to come after you. It's a citizen's matter. "this statute does not limit who can bring suit, so long as it is a private citizen" Additionally, in the Texas

I use Fastmail for my business, after moving there from Namecheap's solution "Private Email". Haven't had a single issue or hiccup, pricing model is straightforward, and I have multiple domains/accounts all under on

Is this anything more than just fear-mongering? I don't see how this is related to the Roe reversal at all. Not a single state has given any inkling of ruling/law aimed at prosecuting the receiver of the abortion, only doctors&#x2

What proof do they have that it was copied, other than "it looks similar to ours?" Multiple discovery happens all the time, and the patent process - for better or worse - is an effort for an inventor to officially put their "

Do we have any evidence that copilot doesn't check/filter by license?

But we're talking about the same companies who will sell your data for a fraction of a cent. I don't think they care about being "not cool"

Same here. It's fun getting doctors offices coming back and asking me "Do we have your email right?"

As every evil act gets blasted worldwide instantaneously, one has to think that we as a culture need to put an end to publicizing the name/photo of the attacker. It's been proven enough times that it empowers others to do the same

My bank right now gives something like 0.01% APY interest, so "more than you could earn in a bank" doesn't really scream "worth the risk" to me. But I guess someone fell for it.

People get scammed with telephones and 7-eleven gift cards, should we ban those too? Bans only target the symptoms while ignoring the root cause and hurting the 99.999% of valid use in the process. And as another pointed out, this scam invo

Totally agree. I have a programming background but don't really program anymore. My Github account has been used for nothing more than submitting issues for projects I use. Any source control I need for other things I do, I use GitLab

It may not be proper, but I'd say it fits for common language. Alternative would be "How are you able to sell for such a low cost?", but that's almost double the number of words.

How many times can we be running out of time before it's reasonable to be doubtful of the message? I think there have been at least 4 "end of the world" scenarios in my rather short lifetime and there's always a new prop

Was there any confusion about the plugin creating an HTTPS capability where one doesn't exist? I always understood the outcome to be very clear.
