Yea, the stats always say Washington has some of the highest sales tax, but i am shocked at how much i pay when in SF/LA/NYC. My tax burden has certainly lowered since moving from CA to WA, kinda miss the weather though.

i think the record speaks for itself on this. its pretty well understood what the previous owners were up to and how they originally populated the site with content. no employee can confirm nor deny this for legal reasons or just lack of ac

Most are most certainly hiding it. Everyone in adult uses shell companies. The vast majority of them don't tell their neighbors and the local PTA what they do, so they are pretty secretive. I knew some execs whose wives didn't eve

nah, we got some of the highest sales tax in the country instead.

The "under banked"? You'd be amazed how many guys wives call in to these charges... Claiming "He would never!"

Made their own stripe? You mean cut out the middleman? Lots of companies with large processing volume do this. Pretty normal, it saves a lot of money, any gateways or ipsp dealing in high risk take hefty fees.

Visa and MC are in fact removing themselves from the situation. The downvotes are probably because the comment shows a lack of understanding of a few things.

They'd probably like it in that light. Less fraud to detect with crypto payments. No charge backs are possible.

Hiring foreigners is a pain. Companies did it because the headache offset the savings, without the savings the headache may no longer be worth it.

I dont know if I like this advice. I feel like you will never find a home at any company if you are always looking for the next one. It's like a relationship, you'll never truly love the one you are with, if you keep dating or loo

Looks like a cool project, maybe include setup instructions that don't require docker?

I think it is being tried by the guy that started Uber. CloudKitchens is the one Kalanick started, there are probably others.

Seems like a cool idea, has anyone tried this in production, at scale? How is the performance?

If the means don't justify the ends, let my competition sell to them... Then it will be adding to their failure, not mine. I do agree with your sentiment though, asking the customer to change is an uphill battle. I have customers with

Sounds more like certain purchasing departments need to modernize, not the other way around. IMHO. Not being able to use the right tools for the job, because some bean counters don't like complexity, is silly and shortsighted.

Almost like they made the ux really hard to use for a reason, eh? All that engineering talent and that's the best solution? Lol.

I've been watching that list for years. Oddly, a LOT of car lots are always on there. Someone must be making a killing selling them low quality leads.

absolutely agreed! but some of the folks with the power to change how the net at large works... are heavily entrenched in the advertising market. Google, Microsoft, etc, and they also own the browsers. :( edit:spelling

Times they are a changing. I guess publishers will have to adopt to the fact they abused the viewer for too long and need a new monetization model.

I got a product recently with a similar card inside, it was shipped prime from an Amazon facility. I know Amazon doesn't look inside things but pretty brazen if you ask me to use their facilities, shipping network and platform to run f

I would say most of the companies on levels are not in the same league as your average startup and do not attract the same talent nor need to pay so well. You can't measure on average only on the top tier, and to compete with it would

Are you claiming the market cost for a developer is $300k.

Godaddy auctions always at least a couple available for under $20. I think I've grabbed a few from namesilo.com as well.

I would argue no politician ever made it legal in the beginning. Afaik, all the states that legalized it did so through initiatives(ca, ak, or, wa, co), and then forced the changes on the state by voting for them. I think the other states a

So you don't use AWS simply because you can't host dns there? Oddly almost everyone I know using AWS refuses to use Route53. You'd of been fine to use AWS without route53, it's basically the standard. As discussed in thi

That's really saying something about AWS, it's easier to get support and bugs fixed on reddit, than via direct contact. Big red flag!
