Rideshare drivers are paid by the task, but that task is time-bound. Building a shed isn't. You can take on two shed contracts simultaneously, not so as a rideshare driver.

MS is implementing this in one of their ‘business tools’, and leveraging their position as an enterprise software provider to raise the status of some of their products that aren’t classic Office. They did a similar thing with Teams (to wha

Seems like sidereal and solar time are 4 minutes off per ‘day’. They are more similar to each other than standard time, I think. But I was referring to their day reference starting at ‘high noon’. It’s unlikely your version of standard time

With Sidereal Time[1], local noon is measured by the sun’s relative angle to the observer’s location. So ‘noon’ is basically at the same time, and the days’ ends push and pull as the earth orbits. If we didn’t have to coordinate time, this

It looks like you’re both arguing for the same thing: a higher federal minimum wage.

“Just search it – and use duckduckgo” Maybe we should separate the ideas of the search space (the web) and our access to it (the search engine). The destinations will exist whether google or whoever points to them or not. By making that di

I spent a good year of my free time in high school creating navigable 3D worlds with VRML. Now it seems like noone has heard of it, and they’re next to impossible to render. What’s the latest scoop on VRML? I’m curious.

I haven’t found them, but it’s not a reason not to look or, even better, ask. I believe that if people asked for roles like these, they would start to be offered. We are just too stuck in the 40hr work week tradition right now. We should re

You don’t have to do it over and over for each job you apply for? It also takes some onus off the hiring team to ascertain the technical abilities of prospective hires. “Just get me a guild member!” Now you can interview on other qualities.

Facebook Auth is an easy step for web moderators to take, and is helpful from a marketing/analytics perspective as well. I wonder if requiring a third-party “real person” auth like Facebook wouldn’t be so detrimental (in the contrxt of

Right: the guild certifies members are of a certain skill level, helping the members better negotiate for pay, time-off and other work terms. Pay has not been an issue, but overwork has been, and so has the interview process. A union/g

Why 40 hrs? Try 24-32 and you might find the pace suits you better. This might work for a small org that needs a tech person but can’t support a FT tech person. Ideally you’ll be matching your needs/wants with an employer’s needs&#

You can offer them what they are seeking, but with terms they are not willing to go along with. This way they are the ones ultimatey saying “no”. It’s just like giving a quote for an unsavory work gig. You essentially ask for “more” (work,

There’s a perk for the small towns, too: they get “tech money” without having to court a “tech industry”. This brings money into the community that would otherwise be left outside it. I see remote workers as an equalizer / booster for
