> what's the point of beating around the bush and inventing that one of the marks of employment is a "sometimes-lousy arrangement"? I don't think anyone seeks to apply such a test; the lousiness of the arrangement is

Well, those are the terms of the sometimes-lousy arrangement they have with the market-maker, which arrangement certain jurisdictions will construe as employment , due in large part to the builder/employee's lack of true contract

To cast your shed-building example in the Uber model: * You submit a desire to build a shed to a market-making company that controls much of the market * The market-maker sets a price you will be billed * The market-maker alerts nea

Does a VPN afford your customers belief in the fiction that the source device is no longer on the internet?

My theory is that the descendant generations from immigrants to America don't care to modify the family recipes at all, to keep traditions going, and there are generally not any outside influences to change this, so the food stays froz

A keypair is not a pre-shared key; but if you're looking for a tool to pull public keys (and peer AllowedIPs) from some other central source of truth, a script might be the right call for now.

October is historically a scary trading month, but I've never read anything arguing there's a good reason for it.

I've got no horse in this race, but this really seems like an egregious abuse of etsy's monopsonist position and is, like, just incredibly slimy. ("How can we raise our fees dramatically? Hmm, how about forcing everyone int

I feel like the game tolerates some bending of the rules so long as the techniques were available and used in the 1920s--tar or earwax or whatever on the ball, a certain amount of incorrect calls from the umpire, and so on.

Yeah, if "doesn't need the job" is in the top five things you'd say about them as a team member... you really want people who will tolerate or even attack with some zeal the grind that it is to get a business going.

Why do you feel the process would be too expensive for most products? That is, let's say the review process might cost the merchant $5,000 on a one-time or biannual basis or whatever--does that seem like an unreasonable charge to take

After reading about the Wirecutter's attempts to extract a commission from a maker of standing desks[0] and observing their general high churn in product picks, it seems hard to argue that WC isn't buyable. [0] https://

You'd lose most of the NQSO's taxes on exercise of ISOs too if the proceeds are at all meaningful.

SAML2 is kind of hairy, technically, but--speaking as someone who used to do this full-time up until six years ago and has stepped into other sings since--most of the pain was from half-baked implementations and utter crap-tier error/e

Your question is a good one, and "pinning" is not a very appropriate term here. Whitelist acceptable algorithms by issuer, ok fine--you have to have a library of acceptable public keys or shared secrets to go along with each of t

Delegation via JWT replay downstream? Maybe, I guess, if those other services all have the same "aud(ience)" requirements, or don't bother checking audience. Probably not a design to hang one's hat on.

Maybe the other side of the coin is that allowing all these dumb investments to take place would have the effect of overwhelming regulatory bodies and prosecutors with less-than-clear-cut missteps. I don't know, perhaps it is easier t

Dapper's a "micro-ORM" and quite lightweight. Usually folks intend ORM to refer to Hibernate or Entity Framework, maybe ActiveRecord, etc.

Unlike Perl, I find that Scala encourages writing code that is quite clear and maintainable. Of course the unwise might go berzerk with symbolic method names and overuse of postfix notation, but written sensibly, Scala's compactness a

Automatic capture of Manifest / type parameters might be the most immediately appealing thing to a Java person learning about Scala, I dunno. Maybe don't show them implicit conversion.

You should think of a stock buyback as another way of paying a dividend without triggering a taxable event for stockholders. The value transitions into a greater price of the now-fewer-outstanding shares.

Cliches aside, I think you are right about the poor decisionmaking: IBM decided to chase the biggest, most bureaucratic market, healthcare, rather than pick a market that would actually be somewhat receptive to black-box services.

Ramps are surprisingly space-consuming, and might involve reconfiguring doorways, gas lines or meters, water, electrical, mucking about with the sidewalk, building railings and supports, and so on. $100k seems entirely possible in a dense,
