A sincere question: Would it not then be helpful to support these new or temporary supply chains as a war effort? Shouldn't that fall under humanitarian aid?

Completely okay with it being restricted to a revenue generation or size of company. I'd make the discrepancy of revenue generation because otherwise a company may just find itself full of contractors and not enough FTEs to qualify for

Sure, I heard the sarcasm and agree. We have rules, they aren't well implemented. My response was to a comment that indicated there should be none. Additionally, here are the cases where taxis, unregulated, led to bloodshed. The policy

This is a great post about the wrong intentions, posted by @fortran77 some days ago, though to limited engagement. In general boycotting means to not consume the products of a specific provider and it feels like the folks who wrote this law

I'm not sure I understand this comment. We do have the right to tell others how to run their businesses. Get food poisoning at a restaurant (btw, also a low margin business) there's protocol. Get in a taxi and it goes somewhere

I would be thrilled to have it taken out of the c-suite bonuses for organizations that large. Without hesitation

If you slap together 50 lines of code, can you attempt a valuation and get funding for it? :shrug: Are you 'side hustling' to make money and thus having customers?

I think we can presume the author means: goods/services I have exchanged funds for. Additionally I would point out that Gmail makes plenty of money off our data and we all have written about or thought about how 'users are the pro

quite a lot of modern web based companies may be doing this. definitely smaller companies. However most services you use (ISPs, consumer internet products like gmail, consumer electronics) are making a fair share of profit and attempting to

Feeling similarly. Russia is 100% violating international law but is not the only country doing so right now by a longshot. The US is also pressing a tremendous propaganda effort that seems to ignore domestic issues, other international iss

Can it be both? I do feel like this is at a nexus of action in fact. Also sure its 4+months after the VA governors race but here in LA the mayoral election is up and its hot. So is the DA race...which honestly...how many voters can tell me

Must disagree. As someone working in an MBB, the total comp of a potential exit is 100% a daily topic of conversation. IMO initially it's possible that folks will not be deterred but that is truly a matter of time and space for the kno
