I always wonder if this is the economy of scale or they sell these at a loss. I think just buying off-the-shelf bldc controllers would cost me more than $1600.

A small shameless plug: for the past 5 years I’ve been working on a robotics newsletter that I hope some could find interesting: https://www.weeklyrobotics.com/

At this point I don't think we offer support for VISA but I imagine relocation assistance could be considered for the right candidate.

The worst that can happen is that they can deplatform you as far as I can tell from the ToCs so I bet some people will do just that if their fees go up at the end of the year.

“ The Conversion Fee is 13.5% of estimated earnings over a 12-month period in each specific client-freelancer relationship. Learn more”. It seems they changed it quite a bit since the last time I looked at it. You can find more information

In some countries not necessarily. I’m based in Czech Republic and as a sole proprietor the most preferential way to do taxes (up to certain threshold) is to report the gross income and use a tax rule that assumes that it cost you 60% of gr

This is against the terms and conditions I believe and in theory Upwork can charge you or the client some extra fee if you take the project outside of the platform.

I didn’t check the ToC in a while but last time I did if you got a client through Upwork you cannot work with them outside of their platform for two years otherwise you and the client risk a fine.

The 12 pdfs are equally annoying to freelancers. I think what hurts here are how the fees are structured. If I charge client $100, the invoice will show this number. This will also be the income I’ll be reporting to tax authorities, so I ha

Wow, I thought they would honor the 5% charge till the end of the contracts but it seems they will go to 10% by the end of the year. Since Upwork theoretically locks you in for 2 years with a client, I’m expecting there will be a small exod

When you add a link to raindrop.io you can add it to any of your folders. Tags are yet another thing they support but I don’t use them extensively.

This is actually the reason why I stated a newsletter (weeklyrobotics.com). I was finding things on the Internet that were interesting, but then I could never find them again. I discovered that limiting search to my own domain made it much

Wow, this is the most complete write up on the subject I have come across. I’ve been consulting for 4 years and all the points ring true.
