Don't be so bummed out sounding. I'm sure we'll solve it as soon as we get a good year of Linux on the desktop.

Western Union, IB, sendwave, bank transfers... there's all kinds of options really...

USA to HRK, only one option - transferwise. Are you sure you didn't build a transferwise clickbait? I know for a fact there are other services that do this transfer.

Your colonialism is showing. There are two assumptions here that I’d like to point out: that the US labor laws are the best worldwide, and that there is an inherent problem in other countries that would be solved if they just adhered to the

These companies (freelancer, upwork/odesk) aren’t really escrow companies: they are scalpers of financial transactions they enable and provide.

Sure, but look at the flip side: it’s a way for people from tiny, remote countries to get access to an integrated market of software projects, and a payment platform. The payment part in particular is lucrative for that population.

A large majority of people providing work on these sites is very far from any country where such a notion exists.

For a lot of freelancers in smaller countries, these sites provide a way to accept payments internationally and get access to a very big job market. There is some value they provide - but they enforce their place in the food chain harshly.

I did a lot of work on similar freelancing sites in the 2000s. While it is true that there is always more than one side to the story, there’s also a massive power imbalance with these services. Most of the workers come from outside of the U

Mistakes happen, even terrible ones. They can be fixed though. The biggest issue is the fact that Etsy is stonewalling the issue and not willing to talk about it openly.

I believe the above commenter talks about the ease/pricing of Fi as much as the experience. I'm using Fi on my iPhone (and have for a while) - and it works worldwide for $10 / 1Gb. It's actually downright magical compare

The title on the PayPal list itself reads "List of Third Parties (other than PayPal Customers) with Whom Personal Information May be Shared." If that's true, this is just the "worst case" scenario - you are very u

Back in ~2015, there were several Firefox developers who visited a local hacklab where I used to hang out. I was aware of a bug in the current version of FX at that time, and I knew how to fix it. I wanted to get their help to create a patc

There's an SF writer I really like for his books in the vein of this. His name is L. E. Modesitt, and some of his books that discuss this are the "Parafaith War" and probably the best "Adiamante."

I honestly don't think it's terrible as such. I'm sure that there are people in the company who enjoy the environment and the acceptable attitudes, I just realized I'm not one of them. My feelings are that I learned a lo

It always pains me when I see people use "cat" left and right, even when they don't need it. This makes for good reading: http://porkmail.org/era/unix/award.html

Keep. Add a bit of margins, slim down metadata and make links bigger / easier to hit. I like the improvement though.

The OSX "show info" dialog block shows the file size in disk blocks, as opposed to the actual bytes of file content. There might be a misunderstanding between people because the "real" file size is different than the &qu

At the risk of sounding like another one of the "Google is evil" people, I'd like to voice my concern that Google is better at managing mail then I am. I just moved from one country to another and I can't change the bill

Eh, it's the old "I paid for your product X and I implicitly expected to get Y as well" problem again. We've had those before, you see, and the point is - unless something's explicitly promised, calling it a dick move when you don't get it
