I live in the same County it happened. The 14 yr old girl is known to law enforcement. She and the 12 yr old escaped a center for trouble kids. She has harmed animals and set property on fire in the past according to the news reports. Th

The thing that does this many times is not having a process that you follow each time. You need to avoid giving dates without following some sort of evaluation process. BTW don't feel alone on this, I had this when I started my first

Hitting 7 figures on a one person services business isn't impossible just difficult. I feel like the article nailed most of the key elements, primarily he has a limit to the number of clients period, which means there is a capped reve

I honestly am good with the article pagination. The only part of the pagination that I think is a bit annoying is comment pagination, like on the monthly who's hiring. Two things about it, one it can be a pain on limited bandwidth

The only answer is it must be scoped to their core business and the use of their resources, otherwise it is always a hard NO. Sadly, these clauses have gotten more common and more broad as the years have gone by. The fact most fresh (and s

You need to find a niche and specialize in something first. That will let you build out a network and as you do you will be exposed to other people in different networks. The mistake I see many people wanting to freelance/contract do

Depends on the stack you are sitting on or familiar with. Plenty of ways to still create a server side rendered site. PHP has been around for quite the long time and is a quick and easy way to do it if you are familiar (or even if you aren

I totally agree, you still have to be diligent, and set ground rules on what is acceptable and not. I've sadly had to fix the same issues and have those same discussions. I should probably have said that, but part of outsourcing is se

I did this once fully to IPO, and no it didn't really change anything for me. That said, when it happened I was younger and "just" a senior engineer, so I wasn't anyone who's decisions changed the company direction

Use an agency to create the marketing site, let them worry about design, config, SEO etc. Obviously your company & team would be setting the requirements, needs, design goals etc, but hire an agency to deal with building that out. My 2

I've generally seen these types of terms from arrogant and/or inexperienced founders. Arrogant ones won't change the terms and argue with you or dismiss you, inexperienced ones usually will listen and find common ground. A t

You'll be fine. Also remember this, companies develop their own vocabulary over time. So don't be afraid of asking what they mean by something. Even if you think it might be basic, and if you get the look of WTF, just be honest

Yes, the answer is always yes you need a DR plan if you are running mission critical systems. The level and detail of the plan just varies with the need. The simplest DR plan for AWS would be to back up your data and images in reliable way

Maybe I am mistaken but I don't think the city can give away money and call it non-taxable. The state sets income tax laws as does the federal government. Even if CA as a state decided not to tax it, doesn't mean the federal gov

The honest answer is whatever you are most familiar with. For me, it'd be nodejs with either vue (if it is needed/better) or basic server side rendering for a quick prototype. DB would either be mongodb (because it is quick and

IANAL, so all that goes (and doesn't) with that. Before I accept a clients money I always build a proper business around the project to box the liability and structure it as a business. This also helps me because there are real costs

Given this is your first business and you say you've not had one before you should reach out to Stripe support with the details. Likely this is a non-unique submission then, based maybe on a common name and location or something along

You need to find out why you are listed in MATCH. Being listed there could have a major effect on the prices you'll pay and who will take your business. At the same time, you better find out a new provider quickly as I doubt Stripe ca

First, of course I could be wrong on this (or it could be a false claim as some have suggested), but a few reasons I said this is intentional and not a defect of code. 1. The OP in a response tweet said it took ~15 days before his accounts

This is not a bug, this is by design. There is no possible way this wasn't spec'd as a test scenario to force payment compliance. They know they have leverage that a bank wouldn't have so they are using it.

Yes, video is processed frame by frame. Video is essentially just a series of images played back at a specific rate. Different formats & protocols work on how to reduce duplicate sections of the frames, but overall processing is always
