How do you punish the parent without punishing the kid? Throw the single mom in jail? fine her? take the kid away? If the kid is living with single-income grandma, b/c parents passed. Do we throw grandma in jail for not blocking the co

I think scammers have a specific bad script for a reason. They want to find the most gullible people they can.

Couple thoughts: 1/ if the company can’t meet the regulations, it can’t exist. 2/ if there is wiggle room of “as long as you tried your best, then it’s ok”, then requesting gps location, nearby wifi nodes, and banning traffic from

My understanding is PEPPOL (charging 1,800 euro/yr!) is the only provider of this service. Can Freelancers choose to another service (like email) instead of PEPPOL? According to the post, this service is the monopoly service provider p

Your product costs 24,99 euro / mo or 300 euro / yr. Hardly 5-10 cents.

This exists already. But its still confusing to me why they would need to pay any euros per year? Imagine if you're a full time worker (like a freelancer!) and you have to pay a transaction tax to get your wages.

Sending an email is free. Paying for accounting software (sharing the license) is not free. Can you share what the cost is? This [0] provider says each invoice costs $10-30. NET14 means you'd pay $260 - $780/yr! https:/&#x2F

Another poster says its $2k/yr membership fee + auditing to submit invoices in their system. Even if you "share" a certificate with others, this seems like an unwanted income tax for freelancers or businesses. 1,800 euro annu

You’re not wrong, but I don’t think 100% of the high level roles are filled this way.

This tracks. I think the real value employees get is riding the rocketship in their career. Early engineers often have first dibs on higher level roles, like CTO or director over people that join late. Your initial grant might not be great,

Whats slightly ironic, is the website seems to have a lot of customizations leveraging html, css, and js... If you already know html, css, and js, then why not just static host the website yourself?

My point is that the VCs located in a few specific zip codes prefer moonshots. The vast majority of VCs in the remainder of the USA prefer stability. You don't hear about the small capital firms investing in boring slow growing compani

I don’t know. Profit (mostly?) matters to investors and the company’s substantially. His pay was 0.39% of the loss. Still a drop in the ocean imho. Should he have been paid less ? Or more? I don’t know. But what I do know is when people get

State Farm’s revenue was $104.2 billion for 2023. His payment was 0.02% of the revenue. That’s basically a rounding error.
