It's up to developer to weigh the risks and make an informed decision.

The real problem is betting your business on someone's platform that you absolutely cannot control. I think we have these "OMG (Google|Youtube|Adsense|Paypal|eBay) terminated my account and it's a disaster!" - once a wee

Regulation is required. Otherwise destroying 1 paparazzi or 1 tabloid will make another 5 pop up in their place.

55. I moved to management position but still do development when no one is looking :) My Co just published a worldwide press release over system I built over last Xmas break. So it's fun from all sides.

Many YouTube publishers also maintain their own successful portal with paid subscriptions, memberships, product affiliations etc... There is always plan B. Google of course prefer 100% dependence on their platforms.

This also a repeated lesson to never trust 100% of your business to some platform you don’t control. YouTube, Adsense, PayPal, eBay... the list is long and stories are plenty. Use platform for what it’s good for and have plan B always ready

I always add C:\U to my Path and store all standalone executable programs to C:\U I also have C:\CMD for my own batch files. Every single program should be fully contained in its own directory including all the settings,logging,configuratio

This is the consequence of enterprise practices of hiring el-cheapo, hit-and-run contractors or outsourcing development to middlemen in “cost-efficient” regions. End developer is inexperienced, temporary, not valued and hence his deliverabl

Multi billion insurance Co is not going to argue with you on $25k petty theft. Junior clerk is going to check paperwork and process your claim. $100M claim is a different story.

I think something like outline.com is going to change that. If publishers will keep flooding their content with garbage - somebody is going to clean it for them.

It’s interesting that insurance Co didn’t point to an absence of proper inclusion clause. They tried to find exclusions that may help them to pull the fast one on a customer. Which means the policy wording clearly matched the covered event.

Did they promised you something and didn't deliver? OR You think you deserve to get something from someone else and didn't get what you wanted? These are two different things. If it is latter - move on and succeed elsewhere.

They can also be AI-trained to park in a closest spot and then peacefully leave at a first sight of enforcement. Such information can be sent to other self-driving cars from "nearby" self driving cars :)

Agree. I'd say this question shouldn't be the one to weigh the decision. Safer assumption: regardless of number of shares/options given or class of these - assume the value of these are $0 (unless these are RSU grants of publ

As a consumer I don't corporations outsourcing manufacturing to China and then bringing back crap, charging me full price and keeping the difference. As a patriot I'd rather pay higher price for domestically made products and know

I leveraged scaling and kind of played with different options of it. For developers working with proportional code - unless you have super sharp eyes to scale your Sublime Editor to sub-1mm characters - i don't see it making much diffe

The problem is that 15.6" is physically too small to leverage that much of a resolution real estate with human eye comfort. I do high definition photography (think gigapixel panoramas) and editing anything like that on 3840x2160 laptop

Because you do technical work for the founders, here's a quiz for you: You own 5% of common shares in a startup and startup got an $10M exit. How much did you get? A: $500K B: $50K C: $0

What you said is more applicable to gym memberships or cell phone contracts where you actually sign in-person multi-page agreement for 1-2 years conscious slavery. CC chargebacks works just fine for any online business that try to pull a qu

Call your CC, claim inability to reach business to cancel and request chargeback. This is my action plan #1 when vendor start irritating me with their support or policies.
