Note that the Golden Gate Restaurant Association supported the 2 supervisors who introduced the measure and has provided quotes as to how good an idea it is. No one has mentioned the jobs to be destroyed in catering, nor the fact that cater

It's taxable in the US as well. There have been occasional attempts to enforce the law - IRS recently made noises in 2014/15. The challenge is that it's taxable to the employees but hard to track and prove, it's for rela

To raise you have to talk to lots and lots of people. To build a company you have to talk to lots and lots and lots of people. So one reason funders try to make it hard to talk to them is to see if you can grind out all the conversations yo

It's the only way to run a business. Everyone has different needs, different existing environments, different service expectations+++ So you can't effectively stick to one price for the "large" tier. Given the difference

Large verdicts have been delivered where no or minimal injury was suffered. As others have mentioned, John Edwards had great success as a lawyer suing over cerebral palsy, claiming that it was caused by actions during delivery. While possib

I have goals to achieve, information to convey, possibly emotions to instill. For product or marketing I as a client would know the target market and positioning. Does the design reflect that? Does it have references that are too close to i

I've been a client for a variety of artistic professionals. I'm not artistic, don't have that kind of creativity, and can't use words that would be helpful to you. I can only tell you whether or not I like it and give a

The Intercept are voluntarily acting as an arm of the FSB. Just think of them as Stalin's New York Times - willing accomplices to Soviet genocide.

Lots of gaming traffic is also banned. People use AWS for malicious purposes (usually free tier) and then the IP gets recycled, eventually, to a legitimate user. Popular cloud hosts with a freemium option are a bad idea for personal vpn.

If they're your ISP they own you. Personally it's handy as my ISP lets me watch tv on any device on my home network. They did it badly because it breaks if I change the SSID. But you're not truly paranoid unless you're u

Facadism happens due to economics. The historic building is far too small for what's needed in the location now. The building can't be brought up to modern standards with any sort of rational budget. So we have adaptive reuse - wi

All relationships at work are a bad idea. They're dangerous to the firm and bad for the people's involved careers. Best rule for everyone is no relationships between co-workers and if one happens both people are fired.

In the US politicians take calls and written letters most seriously. It's far, far too easy to tweet or facebook something. A passing emotion with no commitment. If someone writes a letter they have put a lot of effort in and are serio

This was a descriptive statement. Taxes act like friction and DO reduce the activity that they are attached to. So if one is planning a tax regime, you should think long and hard about the first and second order effects of your planned taxe

If you raise VC (series A) you can pay yourself a decent salary while keeping a good chunk of equity and building your company. Not a huge salary and not saving tons of money of you live in SF, but you won't be burning resources. Very

It's VERY hard to demonstrate net negatives on second and third order effects, especially so as to convince a proponent of the first order effect. You're looking at businesses not created, features not developed, strengthening of

Amazon are the best people at this as they have the technical ability, vision, and willingness to invest in long term projects. AWS was not great in its first 5 years. Its capabilities 5 years ago were pretty good but nothing compared to to

Very stringent regulation is in the interests of large businesses. They have the resources while smaller businesses do not. We've seen this in reports after GDPR go live where Google's advertising market share went up: they had th

Simple tax laws are easy to enforce and leave no room for creativity. They also leave no room for "cheap" campaign promises and new initiatives that politicians can announce and display to the media (repeatedly). We'll give a

There's a presumption that every company in the world is violating EU citizens privacy. That storing IP addresses can be construed as illegal. That everyone is liable for a fine of $20MM for any mistake, innocent or malevolent. The EU

I figured that it's only fair to call out multi billionaires who are currently running companies/funds. While Andreessen is supposedly not much richer than PC, Marc is rather more liquid, runs a huge VC firm, and his father in law
