The short answer to all questions is "What does the contract say?" >If the business is sold, will I get 25% of the sale price Probably not. Back of the envelope says you'll get about 1/3 of 30%. > What guarantees are there that the

No, you're looking in the right places if you're finding R related jobs. Here's the thing: Only you can do the the R jobs, all the web developers can do the webdev stuff. I'm sure you're awesome. Don't sell your self short and chase webdev

I'm not sure this is the case as he is the owner. He has a business partner but I think talking with him was as much about having time to digest the interview as seeking permission. In any case, I think I'm going to decline even seeing the

I left the interview and he said, "I'll have an offer for you by this afternoon" and then he said, "We'd like to hire you on the first (of december). So he clearly missed both of those.

I don't disagree with you. I was just clarifying what they probably believed. The power of local government is amazing. What is even more inspiring is how local sherifs, mayors, etc can effect 'big' public policy (immigration for example) b

It's a bit more nuanced than that; they really mean 'stomping out capitalism for all values of capitalism that involve political corruption and destroying the middle class'.

Dys means "abnormal" or "bad" or even "impaired" Dis means "without" or "lacking" Dysfunction in this case means 'impaired function' as opposed to 'lacking function'.

You are correct. I actually typed something similar up, but after reading it it came across too much like, "I don't trust her."

I think this is appropriate given how popular the other one is. But We should be using the thread started by "whoishiring" as that is the unofficial official thread of HN.

I think they try to get around this by allowing you to 'preload' your account. What they've built is an electronic checking account. I only write checks to pay my rent and I don't carry cash. If I had to get cash, I couldn't. I don't know t

Why would you do this to save $0.25? So you're saving .25% a rounding error. Most people have bigger fish to fry... Oh, but what about scale? What if I'm processing 1MM a day? You negotiate a new fee because you're xx% of their business. Fo

On Facebook you have a section called relationship. In that section you can put a name. If that person doesn't have a Facebook profile, I assume, it doesn't hyper link it to their profile. If that person does have a Facebook profile then i

No, deleted and deactivated are two different things on Facebook[1]. You may disagree with the definition, but as it is currently used on Facebook he is being accurate. Facebook doesn't make it clear about what types of data they do and don

I've deleted my Facebook a number of times. I know this sounds petty, but the main reason I always signed back up was because my girlfriend at the time wanted to be in a relationship with a 'real person' not just a name on Facebook. This wa

I just tried this on my brothers account. It lets me guess at his security question and then kicks me to a page that basically says that they currently don't support password recovery without knowing the answer to the security question.

Perhaps I'm nitpicking here, but I believe they don't actually want the same laws for individuals and corporations. They don't want corporations to have the same rights as individuals.

Is there a better way of explaining it? I thought Burke and Reagan were good examples.

This isn't necessarily true. The senate has a 'two-track' system that allows them to move on and address other issues where they have two bills on the floor at the same time.

by noahc 15y ago
The Senate is seen as the place for reason to hold over the demands of the common people. In other words, the senate is more conservative (in the Burke not Reagan sense). What the filibuster does is makes America more conservative by requir

First of all don't try to create a website from scratch. It's too much work. I would suggest using something like twitter bootstrap to get started on the css if design isn't your strong point. Next you need to learn how to program. Php is s

Everything you've said is true, except for your first sentence. What we're talking about here is money as a proxy for an actual score board. At this resolution the score board is all that matters because we can't see the game being played.

This is correct. My point was never about who has created the best life or even who added the most value. It was about a way to keep score.

Again, this goes to a moral basis. Or at least a value judgment. The original question asked about which was cooler and supposed that money had a factor. My point was that money is a factor, but not because it can be converted into signed l

I think you can see this in real world. Look at Linus or David of 37 Signals. They have created at least millions if not billions of dollars worth of value (uncollected). As a quick experiment with my girlfriend: Do you know who Linus is? =

What does this even mean? I assume that you're talking about in a moral sense because of the value judgement you appear to have made. Of course, when I say 'good' I don't mean in the moral sense. Imagine you were to design a way for people

The really cool thing about money is that it makes an excellent points system. It's neat that you can trade green paper for physical things, but more importantly money is a way to keep score to two decimal places. Often times when people ta

Buying tools or software isn't going to make you a better web designer. What you need to do is practice and practice some more. If your goal is to be a good web designer, then that's the only way. Now, the question I think you're asking is
