Article is missing many details. 8 workers with $40,000 in owed wages, thats about 1 months work. Now get some accountancy tricks and you get MANY possible scenarios. That 120 hour/weeks could be overtime they accumulated in India. No

There is someone who OWNS the estimates, usually manager. So I just tell him that his estimates were wrong, same way I would open new bug report on software. For my own customers I provide revisited estimate and plan B if they decide to pul

I started my own business after becoming stay-at-home dad. I know many parents with their own company, startup is good way to escape corporate cubicle, and spend more time with kids. Not sure why being parent as something worth mentioning h

Just read basic economics, it is really simple. VC ecosystem is insignificant. Easing will stay until its results are aligned with leaders priorities.

It is all related to quantitative easing, there are not savings, but easy money around. Totally different dynamics compared to last stock bubble.

He was planning to stay long-term, but had to change his job. Just saying this system is not as super as it sounds.

No, but why to make it compulsory for 'visitors'? He is EU resident. Imagine in US you would be forced to contribute to state pension, but would get your money only if you work for 30 years in single state. Moving from California

Article is just b*t. There is zero criticism, zero data, just naive adoration. It is sad to see something like that on NY Times. My friend worked in Netherlands for 6 years. He lost 20% of his salary, he will get ZERO, because he is not lo

Why would anyone install flashlight app which requires access to contacts and emails?

I think I will stick with a Docker. DEB packages are very complicated and this tool does not really handle dependency conflits and so on that well. Plus it does not work with RPM and other packages systems.

> it is as complex as any machine humans could create up until the 14th Century. Not really. Romans were quite nifty as well. Byzantine empire had many automatons. There are steam machines used by arabs...

People have to train and city road is not best of surfaces. So it is very possible that somewhere someone already ran faster than 2 hours, just did not care to record it or announce it.
