I really like this idea. I'm planning on starting to freelance in a few months, and one of the things that really worried me was setting rates. I know how much runway I have to make it a success, and I'm confident I can get work p

I'm considering stopping my day job to work as a contractor. My goal isn't to avoid stupid grunt work--I just hope that being entirely responsible for my upkeep and well-being will make the stupid grunt work seem more urgent and i

I closed my fb account two or three years ago, at a point when I was really virulently anti-fb. I still haven't re-opened it, but I've mellowed a bit--not that I approve of it, really--it's a disgusting panopticon at best--bu

lmakeppleave is saying that the amount that used to be stolen was "income" the employees were making (albeit illegitimately). like, I as a waiter make $100 per shift and steal $20 per shift; my net is $120 per shift. When they pu

It seems like the more draconian and restrictive the rules for TLA employees get, the more TLA work ends up getting done by outside contractors whose chief qualification to do it is that they aren't bound by stifling TLA restrictions.

If future potential sources google the article author's name, they're going to find a vindictive-sounding article in which he fails to adequately protect the anonymity of sources to whom he explicitly promised it. Too bad there&#x
