>If someone is working independently on a project with 10 minutes here, 15 minutes there, 5 minutes a few hours later and billing each as an hour, that's not okay. Yeah I certainly wasn't advocating that. It's a two way s

The only way I'd do that is if the client gave me 10 mins of work one day, followed by 10 mins of work the next and nothing else. Otherwise I'd just work 20 mins and bill an hour. More often however they are giving me 40 hours o

by vitaflo 4y ago
I bill by the hour, not the minute. If I work 10 mins on something and do nothing for the other 50, you are billed an hour. Frankly, this is how most clients have actually wanted it. They think in hours (or days) not some subdivision of

Anecdotal, but I started my consulting biz in 2010, when unemployment had peaked at 10% during the Great Recession. It was an incredible time to be a contractor because companies still had work to do, but were gun shy about hiring, so many

As someone with a 7” portable turntable used for scratching (Numark PT01) this thing looks awesome for making my own scratch records. The question of course is how deep the cuts are. If they’re super shallow then that won’t be as nice, but

Treasuries go up to 30 year maturities. In fact, the 30 year Treasury used to be the leading indicator for the bond market. Most use the 10 year now though.

Military snipers in training will practice at a mile+ and take the Coriolis Effect into account (or at least be trained to). Though they'll tell you the likelihood of getting one-shot one-kill is pretty low once you go past a mile of r

Most of the software that decodes CW isn’t that great unless you have a consistent S9 signal and the keying is even (IE, not straight keyed). Once the signal wanders or is even partially in the noise the software will just spit out gibbe

There was a bit of a resurgence of CW during the pandemic. I know a few people who took to learning it during that time. Will it continue? I don’t know but there seems to be more CW traffic than SSB some days. So it’s certainly not dying.

Adobe actually beat Figma out of the gate. XD was introduced prior to Figma even existing. XD was a response to Sketch who at the time was eating their UX market share. XD actually had some pretty great ideas, even though it was very limi

They basically did exactly this with XD and it started with some good ideas and then basically just fizzled out.

This is exactly why game makers will never do this. They make money on churn. Put out a new game, users must buy all new skins. If you allow porting of skins you drastically reduce your profit. It’s just a stupid business decision. Companie

Suppose it depends on your car. Mine did nothing when I removed it. Of course you may lose access to some things you want, like XM Radio, OnStar, GPS, etc (usually all these are integrated into the same board in the shark fin on top of th

This is the correct answer. Found this out when I was doing a ham radio antenna install on my car. The shark fin for the XM radio antenna (that I never use) sits on top of a hole in the roof, and a nice hole in the roof is a the perfect s

You can use any freq in a legit emergency. But it requires “safety of life and protection of property”. You can’t just use it willy nilly. The reason hams are anal about this is because the FCC grants us frequencies as a privilege. If we a

It is illegal to have. Part 95 requires GMRS radios to have pre-programmed frequencies (no keypad) and a non-removable antenna. No ham radio meets those requirements.

by vitaflo 4y ago
It’s illegal to have a radio that transmits on both FRS/GMRS as well as the ham bands. FCC Part 95 (GMRS) & Part 97 (Amateur) spell this out quite well. Baofeng has played fast and loose with these requirements in the past. The new
