Unless you need to pick up or drop off kids at childcare services. An eight hour day, with commute time is often a rush against traffic to get to the centre before it closes. An extra two hours at the head of the day would mean I’d have to

Which is failing to apportion any of the price to the value of macOS . Sure I can buy a cheaper laptop, but then I’d be without macOS and that for me is worth quite a bit of a premium. (This is absolutely subjective and I totally respect ot

Gotcha, sorry - I guess you're right, doesn't mean immediately due, or past due, I just don't think of leases as owing, just a commitment to pay, which might be splitting hairs. In the linked article of this thread though, an

Again they're loans not lease obligations - different. You can sublease or assign your obligations in a lease, typically you can't assign a loan in the same way. Edit: To clarify, when the average household talks about their famil

Fair call, and good distinction to draw.

There is a huge difference - the duty to mitigate losses. A landlord can re-let the space to another tenant, and start earning revenue again. The money loaned however is gone until it is repaid. The total loss of a loan is the principal re

Leases haven't been on the balance sheet historically, although a 2016 change (which comes into effect next year) will see them move onto the balance sheet, however offset by a corresponding right to use asset. The right to use asset i

Agreed - just haven't seen future cashflow obligations referred to as "owe" in the same way, except for when discussing WeWork, so (to me) comes across disingenuous given the lack of consistency in application.

I find this whole “owe $18b in rent” thing that’s come up recently interesting. They only "owe" $18b in rent the same way any company leasing office space "owes" their landlord money. The word "owe" is thrown a

In a market I used to run a startup in, $1000 was a very common point in our industry at which individuals with purchasing authority and a credit card (i.e: the people we wanted to convince to hit Buy Now) needed to go up to the next level

If only it were as easy as that. Open sourcing it might be the most straight forward option, but there could be complicated intellectual property issues behind the scenes that make that prohibitively difficult, or expensive. A paid option?

Acquisitions take time. And money. If you're running out of both, the risk of undertaking a long and expensive process, that may result is nothing is risky, and in some cases illegal (taking on debt [legal fees on terms] that you can&#

Yup - tiny. Just checked the DD we did on a recent acquisition: 503 rows just in the "checklist", most of which resulted in further documents, statements, references to other systems, explanation, reports, exports from HR systems

Could do (and have in the past). But it is a workaround, and takes extra effort. A couple of our suppliers do have the separate-email-for-invoices-only thing, and it really is super convenient to know that any changes they make to their inv

I'm yet to find a service that allows you to configure two email addresses - one for accounts related notification (your credit card is about to expire/your card declined etc) and one solely for sending a copy of invoices. We use

Yup - we had to reconfigure each service that uses SAML today. Also don't forget having to audit each service's API keys/tokens/local users etc to make sure someone hasn't gotten access via a compromised certificate

Can I ask why Stripe and not Pin? I've been using Pin for a number of different projects and have been really happy with it. Curious why Stripe seems to be the default alternative to PayPal/eWay etc, even though Pin has been estab

Great idea! Only drawback I'm finding is that I don't want to wait for the page to load, I'm typing my URL and hitting enter before the startup's page has loaded. Good for wanting to randomly find a startup, but was hopi

Not dismissing the rest of the article at all, but with specific regard to accepting online payments, why no mention of Pin [0]? Stripe/Braintree aren't the only options for Australian businesses to accept credit cards online easi
