Here is my personal example of how this COVID rules ends up being stupid: - me and wife got Covid but we do not have symptoms - I have surgery (quite important and relatively urgent since it hurts) but it is delayed because I’m positive - m

Yes - if you can raise money then do it. Why not? But do not gave up if you cannot.

This also means that success in business is very much correlated if one’s parents are also entrepreneurs. Now it can be that these people are more well off but it could be also that ones who have parents running the business learn first han

Maybe that was true in old days when jobs also give you some security. Covid proved that there is no “job security”: as soon as your employee runs into a little bit of revenue trouble, the lay offs will start. So money is very very importan

I wonder what changed… they definitely did not try to hide. I bet they did something against Putin or refused to do something. And regarding extradition- if I’m in their shoes I will plead to be extradited to the US. The higher one is in po

This is very much spot on. And you will find that some of these “small business” are actually failure and they are alive just because somebody else in the family is paying the bills.

Google search works exactly as Google wants it to work: highly optimized for whatever makes money for them. Sure it is worse for us but it is so much better for them. And it will get even worse since revenue growth has to go from somewhere.

Scammers are not really bright. We get even angry support emails from users using trying different stolen CC - go figure…

I think that upwork will first try hard to recover money from the client (and they will get the client into collection if the chargeback is fraudulent). Then, upwork will dispute chargebacks if chargebacks do not seem to be valid (so-called

I do not understand this part: > "I’m on very good terms with Robin." So why Robin does not want to pay and help with Upwork if he is on very good terms with him? If you are in very good terms with Robin, then just ask him to

So he got scammed by Robin. And Robin was smart to meet the guy so Upwork has reason to believe that contractor is also a scammer (the account is not closed because they want to recover the money first). Without cooperation from Robin this

I believe the problem here is that upwork thinks Robin and him are the same person. They probably have proof that both Robin and you login from same IP (since you met each other). If robin is not cooperating (not wanting to pay for your wor

At the beginning of all these craziness the reason for shutdowns is to flatten the curve. We did not have vaccines and hospitals were under stress. I think we did a right thing. I’m not sure what is the goal now? We have vaccines and ICUs a

My expirence from other large companies is these bonuses will be given to wrong engineers. But that is the nature of the beast. Nobody yet figured out the fix.

I wonder what is BMJ’s agenda? Why do they want that their articles explaining how one contractor botched trial shared on Facebook? Are they saying that it is not true that their article “could mislead people”? And article is like Fox News:

This “authorize charge” change is really giving headache both to customers and companies. If person owning CC is not available, emails are misses, etc. so scheduled e-mail campaigns are not sent, backups are not done, scheduled data loads w

Yes and all the things. But Nick was the guy responsible for all these things. You really cannot have good security if the goal of your “cloud lead” is to ransomware you. So yes - they did not have good security so they hired him to fix it

My understanding is that was the way in Serbian-Croatian but it died out. I personally knew people born in early 1900s talking like that. But I can be wrong: it could be just Autro-Hungarian influence. Any real data on this?

What are they calling about? Just curious - it seems like I’m wrong. Also maybe there is opportunity to develop some service for them so they do not need to call.

Strange. I have American Express and they clearly say: American Express will never call you to ask for your information. Even if some transactions is suspicious they tell me to call them.
