I started getting too many responses which were clearly incorrect, I point out the correction to which the response was, "You are indeed correct [rephrases the answer correctly]"
Okay, great, but what about all the responses where I don't actually know the topic enough to know it's incorrect?
If I was going to suggest one thing to read as a soon-to-be-Dad, I'd recommend this reasonably short article by PG: http://www.paulgraham.com/vb.html
It's cliche, and you probably won't really take it in until you realise it too late, but it GOES SO FAST!
What’s been the most interesting use case you’ve seen so far?
I'm getting the following error when I enter sheets.new or docs.new in my browser (it used to automatically open a new Google Sheet or new Google Doc):400. That’s an error.The server cannot process the request because it is malformed. It should not be retried. That’s all we know.
I feel like Ruby on Rails out of the box support would really help bring an influx of Heroku orphans.
Maybe a laundromat, self storage facility or mini putt course (in a tourist town)?
I'm almost certain that's the case when most of those kinds of logos are shown.
Most likely that's 80-90% of what happens when companies show logos on their website. Does Netflix really pay for that many SaaS products? Or is it really that one or two Netflix employees use it...
What other part of life do you interact with only people who were born in the same year as you were (and, in the case of some schools, only your sex)?
Homeschooled children (in my experience) learn to make friends with kids a lot older and younger than they are. They also learn to look after and teach younger ones, and learn from older ones.
I went to public school myself, my wife was homeschooled (for all but two high school years), and we homeschool our five kids. There’s pretty much no reason I’d consider sending them to school, unless they want to in their high school years (so far our oldest doesn’t).
The original meaning of sabbatical was for labourers to take one whole year off after working for seven straight years.
Maybe you should offer something closer to that definition?
Of course, after a year off, it might be hard for the employee to mentally go back and do the same thing for another seven years, but don't forget, as a company you've done without them for 12 months, so it may not be too big a deal if they do decide to leave.
Essentially, you'd be ensuring that MOST of your employees will stay with you for a seven year tenure, which is much higher than most companies would average for their employees.
I'm not good at public maths but I think you'll be paying employees 14% higher than the market rate based on the 1 year paid sabbatical at the end — but don't forget, if the employee leaves after 3 or 4 years, you don't have to pay that 14%.
EDIT: If I were doing this I would probably pay the extra 14% to a trust account each month, which would then be paid out as a salary during the 12 month sabbatical (so their actual salary may be slightly lower than their final year's salary, as they'll have probably received raises during their seven years of employment). The advantage to the employee of doing it his way, is they'll rest assured their salary received during their sabbatical is guaranteed, even if the company gets shut down.
It gets well over 1m visits per month...at a guess, it's making minimum $250K per year with just one employee (and maybe some part-time freelancers).
Or do some take Monday off, and others take Friday off?
I've received lots of vaccinations in my lifetime, but I ask the question, who decides what the "good reason" is for vaccinating every eligible human?
We know the Covid vaccines aren't 100% effective in stopping spread, or getting ill, but for the sake of argument, let's assume the vaccines are 100% safe and effective.
The reason I don't think it should be mandated is because it sets a precedent for future mandates where the political climate may be different.
Everyone should have the right to choose what happens to their body. Unfortunately that may mean people make stupid decisions (forgoing life-saving treatment, or possibly even making others sick), it's infuriating at times, but the alternative is far worse.
The same argument applies to free speech and personal privacy. Taking away those rights, for what most would say is "obviously the right thing to do" may be all well and good in today's political climate. But it sets a precedent for the future, in which the political climate may be a lot different.
Obviously, this is just my opinion :)
I guess the answer to the exchange problem is to have a decentralised exchange.
I'm guessing an established firm that hires and bills at those rates would end up having 40-50% margin at the end of the day.
I've seen a number of web developers out there mention they write entire web apps (front end and back end) using just their laptop and no external monitors.The ability to do that is attractive to me, as it means you can quickly change your setting and still be productive.Are there specific features (even 3rd party tools) that have helped you become really proficient at doing laptop-only...
Also...I'm skeptical about these as I've heard they train your muscles to be lazy – the brace does lots of the work, so when you take it off old habits kick in because you're muscles can't do the same job the brace was doing.
But I guess the limit of 20–60 mins a day is to prevent that?
If so, surely that wouldn't have been possible without VC funding?
I guess if you're already a gamer then it makes sense.
Surely, buying a property in a vibrant city that is growing and is a nice place to live will likely mean your property value will greatly outpace inflation in the long term?
We bought a house over 10 years ago for $361k spending $50k of our own money.
We sold it last year for $900k.
I don't think it was a terrible investment...
Could we have got similar returns by investing $50k in the stock market instead? Remember, the cost to pay off the mortgage is mostly offset by the fact you would otherwise have to pay rent.
