Seems like you were taken advantage of.

How do we know that this is the case?

But Upwork is not necessary for this kind of work. In fact, only a small portion of freelancers are on those kind of platforms.

Isn't it true that contractors/freelancers aren't expected to do leetcode interviews?

Doesn't mean people don't get banned for it.

Why does it matter what specific subreddit was? Are you trying to cast aspersions on his character? Why?

If that were true, any human activity done without monetary reward would be dominated by socialists/communist.

You watched someone. As in one person. Which the person you are replying to already acknowledged that there were some bad actors however, the movement was largely peaceful. Saying that you are sticking to your lying eyes is not productive t

This just goes to show the power asymmetry. It is almost like an euphemism: easy to work with = obedient worker. I am sure you mean well and you don't do this maliciously, but the end result is still this oppressive machine like system

Not everyone. I made the mistake of believing narcissists were a thing just from the movies.

The thing that causes the recession is that debt has become more expensive. It is counter intuitive to say that now it is the time to take up debt.

I was thinking about your comment today. The fact that you found Absurdism depressing is actually the most common response which is addressed in the essay. Albert Camus goes through the reasons why life being absurd does not predicate a dep

I didn't get it to be depressive at all. Perhaps you should read it for yourself. The essay is quite uplifting, actually. I think Nietzsche criticism against stoicism is on point. I would compare Absurdism which Nietzschean thought. Th

I am the in the same situation as you. This has been what I've identified is the main thing that ruins my life. Every day it takes me about 30 minutes for me to convince myself to get out of the bed and continue doing senseless grind w

Are you actually making money with the web pages you provided? My understanding is that adsense no longer pays the way it did before.

It was wrong of me to assume you made your previous comment in good faith. Good day, sir.

I am sorry that you feel that way. Sure, I guess I will try to assume that you are making this comment in good faith. Tell me the name of your country and I will tell you why it wasn't socialism. Socialism has properties that defines i

It is. I have explained it in my comment. I will not be replying anymore though. Talking about socialism in HN is like talking about atheism in a Catholic church.

Socialism has never been tried.

Socialism has never been tried. State capitalism has been tried, that's what China has and what the Soviet Union had. Socialism cannot be allowed to happen because it is too much of a threat to the powers that be. The day Socialism is

Currently in society capitalism optimizes for profit over everything else. That is if killing babies (via pollution or whatever) yields a higher profit than not, Mr CEO will do that or risk not being as competitive as the company with a psy

That's a good thing for the company. It's a horrible thing for the employee.

What was the aftermath? How much did you lose or had to pay?

by kentrado 5y ago
That doesn't sound appealing. Taking a huge risk for something that can potentially ruin my finances for an extended period of time in exchange for maybe 7 more years of living. No thanks. That is not a good deal.

That's subjective. The meaning of words depends heavily in the context they are used.

Halfway along a logarithmic scale what a beautiful way to describe it. I am surprised at accurate that image is. Where did you hear this expression?
