That's not their brand, at least not in the past 5 or so years. I've had significant success with Fiverr, many of which are not the cheapest. Certainly you can find the cheapest if that's what you want, but that's on any

This tells you everything you need to know about the kind of person that hires Accenture and what motivates them. Accenture will always be Accenture (and Deloitte, EY, PwC) as long as there's this CIO personality flaw of burning money

I see cheap $4/hr developers, but I don't see anything specific about Fiverrs. Are you lumping them in together?

Why not Fiverrs?

So auto-related taxes and fees fund policing and defense and general taxes fund roads. Sounds... convoluted. I reiterate that none of this really makes much sense, and I think we're seeing the end result of those policies.

How does that square with the main point of the article: "The UK government receives tax revenue from drivers of petrol and diesel cars via two key methods: fuel duty, which brings £28 billion a year into government coffers, and Vehicl

Tolls are paid by those who drive on the roads, not by those who benefit from the roads if they don't drive. That's why it's a shifted burden. Tolls and fuel taxes are paid by those who drive, not those who otherwise benefit.

Or... maybe national taxes should pay for national roads as a form of national infrastructure, state or county taxes paying for state or county roads and local taxes for local roads. Isn't this the way roads were paid for before widesp

How about a wind-powered boat powered completely without any batteries or oil at all? Let's call it... a sailboat. Are we just going back in time to when sail-powered ships powered commerce? Of course a sail-powered container ship migh

Makes sense. You do mention it on a few occasions and I am guessing the domain name reflects that as well so this yields some curiosity. Sounds like it hasn't had much impact on your life more recently. Was it an issue during any fund-

In the post he mentions that he could use a simple $3/mo Lite VPS (or vms is what he says) for what he needs.... so why go all the way to AWS if you can use something lite? Why are things like DigitalOcean / Linode / Hetzner

This project is almost a decade old! I wonder why it resurfaced? Coincidentally or perhaps not the book in the post "How to do nothing with nobody all by yourself" also is a top HN post right now. Maybe related?
