Not a lawyer, but I think you're correct. I wouldn't sign this.

(iii) puts the burden on the client to prove that you breached the contract. So, that clause is reasonable even if it is burdensome.

For, (i) and (ii) the word "alleging" is problematic for me. Anyone can sue you alleging anything. Yes, you can recover court costs and lawyer fees if you win, but most patent trolls try to out-expense you and figure you'll settle at some point.

Either way, always do work and sign contracts as a legal entity, not an individual. Much better to lose your company than lose your house.

>They'll be going from a situation where they can expect and get reasonable compensation which grows faster than cost of living increases, pensions, etc to being treated like a cost center to be manipulated and reduced, forced to hop jobs every 4 or 5 years to even remain at market rate for their skill level, etc.

They and most other people in the world. What's happening to the Appalachian coal miners today is going to happen to tech sooner or later.

>You really can't expect them to not be defensive of their position, especially considering the history of open flagrant abuse and violence they've faced in the past.

But coal isn't going to make a comeback. The world has moved on from that economy. Trump lied to them, and fed them a populist self-insert power fantasy where America just strongarms the world into treating them with the respect they feel they deserve. That isn't going to happen.
The ultimate guide to email writing
they are money changers, and the last thing you want in a contract is someone in the middle making arbitrary decisions about when you get paid.
Their decision is not reasonable. Coal is dying. These miners are laboring under the delusion that their jobs will come back, which will never happen. Their decision is understandable. It's tragic. It's pathetic in the classic sense. It's also foolish.

I feel arrogant and condescending for saying this, but it's the way I see it.

Looks like Spektrum was basically acting as an incubator that spent some money on them. Your criticism might be valid depending on whether the incubator got some ownership rights (in which case it was acting as VC, albeit on a small scale) or not (in which case it was just an angel investor).
Great idea! Created a issue for tracking it: https://github.com/ipfs-shipyard/peerpad/issues/106

I think it’s fair to assume that such answers assume the US isn’t willing to preemptively nuke an entire southern swath of North Korea. If we are, and Trump is trying very hard to at least pretend that we are, it’s a totally different ballgame.
Thanks for the reply.

They have a registered office located in Australia.

It was a relatively easy job (took me about an hour and a half) and I only charge $75. So, not sure if it'll be worth the hassle.
It's common sense that they scam you. How they do it can be more subtle.
Most programs also have a time limit for completion, around 4 years for a Masters and 7 for a PhD.

I did my Master's part-time while working and it was brutal to work full-time then head to class for 3+ hours several times a week, or have to make special arrangements so I could leave work early to make a specific class. I also remember desperately preparing for a defense scheduled days before the birth of my second child (I finished up 2 days before he was born!).

I found that FT grad students and some profs treat you poorly because you're "a PT industry" student, and your co-workers, boss, etc. treat you like you're taking a continuing ed course from the learning annex. It's the worst of both worlds.

If the other party did something illegal or broke a contract you most certainly have legal recourse.

The problem with intermediaries like these is that there's an inherent power differential. So, while technically they might not be doing anything illegal they're able to squeeze you. The best way to deal with this - if possible - is to not get yourself into a situation like that in the first place.

Another way is to make new laws (or create common law precedents depending on the legal system) that address issues that arise with these models. After all, that's how labour laws came into being as there was a huge power differential between early industrial workers, specifically day labourers, and their employers.
Sad how one wing of the party manipulates the other.
No you wouldn't. Its not like hundreds of big fish is waiting at their keyboard trying to push "BUY 10MM stock" at the right spot, because it might show up at the stock exchange. These "deals" are secret as of when they take place. As I said, you get on the phone, 3 seconds one party post "BUY 10MM", second party post "SELL 10MM". Done and done.

Couldn't agree with you more. Have been involved in a few projects this year where a bunch of freelancers who had never worked together were thrown together to get something up and running quickly. The results were slightly horrifying precisely because everyone had their own tooling and way of doing things. Opinionated boilerplate would have solved so many problems for us upfront.

I'd study to be a radiology tech or something along those lines. Tech and Healthcare are the "jobs of the future", if you take tech out of the equation, the answer is obvious.
So shockingly, people who have been fooled by a con artist (Trump) refuse to believe that they've been fooled.

And I get the argument that learning is difficult for some, and that union jobs are better than non-union jobs, and that it is difficult to move from an active job to one that is more sedentary. But so is losing your job in a dying industry and being unable to provide for your children, which is the alternative.

And I feel for them. I really do. They've been taken by the political equivalent of an email from a Nigerian prince. They wanted to believe so badly that they didn't check the history of the person making the promises, and ignored what facts they did get.
My guess is that the guy is not completely honest that the "help desk" person blocked his account. Anyway, freelancer.com is just a platform, if you are a freelancer you shouldn't rely only on one specific platform. A freelancer by definition should not be dependent on anyone else, you are in charge.
Unfortunately, the legal process has not caught up with the speed in which malicious actors can conduct their attacks. In some cases, infrastructure is used for merely a few hours before swapping to something new. It's a constant game of wack-a-mole and without the provider's help, there's no way to stop it.
Given that they just patched a bug caused by their insistence on using their own bullshit string futzing "prepared statements", I don't think "evolve" is the right term.

Stagnate maybe?
Sure it does. People always look for someone to blame for something like this, and the Republicans capitalized on that fact with the "war on coal" narrative. Not shocking it worked.
Actually, your question should be: Why use Appalachian coal? And indeed, coal production has shifted to Wyoming where it is cheaper to produce with less labor. So even if coal comes back, it will not likely come back to Appalachia.

I think the colleges should have some skin in the game and be at least partially on the hook if the loan defaults. That should prevent some of the completely egregious price gouging.
I think there are two reasons why you would see a spike in internationals in a graduate cohort and their number being less in an undergraduate class:

1) experience. most of the international students mentioned in the article from India, China, Turkey, Korea want to have that experience of going to a school in a different country, meeting students from around the globe, listen to lectures and work with people from different background and skills, I think this is something you would certainly lack if you choose to go to grad school in the same geography you got your undergraduate education. Think about this for an American student, who is not so motivated to go to grad school because environment wise it is not going to be a whole lot different than the professors you had for your undergrad class. I'm curious to see numbers for American undergrads who have gone to Europe or Japan to get their graduate degrees for the experience, this might actually be skewed because half the students here in America gets that experience through study abroad programs.

2) cost. the article says there is a very small number of undergraduate internationals compared to graduate student population, it comes down to cost. if you were coming from India, China or the other foreign countries mentioned in the article money wise it would be very expensive for you to pay for 4 years of undergraduate degree compared to 2 years of masters, PhD can be an outlier here, but it has its own benefits. so if you can get an undergraduate degree without causing a dent in your bank account and if you are almost certain that you will eventually go get a masters degree in another country, budget wise that's the most smart thing to do. by the time you are done with your undergrad you'd have a good school experience to go to another country, blend in, and go through school. The reason I mentioned about PhD being an outlier is, with a doctoral degree you might end up being a professor or a research scientist, but when it comes to a masters vs bachelors, chances are, for most of them, you both will likely end up in a similar job at Google, Microsoft, Facebook, and others. so why pay twice to get there. not to forget, you might end up with some sort of funding while doing a graduate degree compared to undergraduate.
Does anyone have experience of working with them as a contractor?
> Still, the apprenticeship system works, even if the standards have been raised.

The standards for these jobs surely have raised a litle - but mostly the standards of Hauptschulabschluss and Realschulabschluss (I don't know how to translate these words into English) have declined. Things that every graduate of a Hauptschule, say, 40-50 years ago, had to know, say, in writing German text or numeracy, can not be assumed anymore. So the problem in my opinion mostly lies in the decline of standards in schools instead of new, harder requirements to become an apprentice.

1. Node focuses on modularity. You pick your express clone, you pick your ORM, you pick your front end, you pick your logger, you pick your passportjs plugins. Because so many great things are just unopinionated modules, there's less need to make packages like express-mongoose, koa-mongoose, express-postgres, koa-postgre, express-pug, koa-pug, etc. (although I bet those exist anyways, they are simply gratuitous). If you want redis, you just pick your redis module from npm.

2. You could say npm is the framework.

3. You could say Adonisjs did kick off (pretty good if you wanted a laravel clone)

4. Mainstream webdev in Node is younger, so a clear rails clone is not evident but could already exist under your nose.

5. Maybe front end frameworks are the new "MVC frameworks". You can make both SPAs, MPAs, and hybrid SPA/MPAs with nuxtjs and nextjs. Do you need a full backend MVC framework to do what your frontend framework already does, but better?
>I'd try to consider it from their perspective, but I get confused by the part where they vote overwhelmingly Republican to protect their union jobs and government subsidies.

Ok, read the parent. Appalachian Miners do not vote overwhelmingly Republican to protect their union jobs and government subsidies. For the longest time they voted Democratic to Protect their Union Jobs and Government subsides until their jobs were no longer there.

Their jobs aren't coming back, that's a given, and the reaction to that was to stop voting for the people they thought would protect their way of living, only to see a shift over the last decade where their voice was completely drowned out in the Democratic party
And historically those miners had jobs. However the loss of their jobs had nothing to do with sanctuary cities, abortion, second amendment rights or any other wedge issue but their party switch did.
Completely agreed which is why I think it's bizarre that the loans cannot be dismissed. Bankruptcy has similar effects and lasts for 10 years! The reason I mention it is he was talking about $471/month with 0 principal progress on a salary of $18,000 was driving him to literal suicide. At that point taking the 15% and consequences is undoubtedly a better solution.

Finish the PhD. Today anyone who discovers anything does so after their Ph.D. A Ph.D. is just a work sample really. I regret not finishing, then again I couldn't figure out a path to get there despite 4 papers. Then take a vacation! After that there is a lot you can do you can get a job programming, as a quant etc... I would work for a bit to see if you enjoy it. You can also postdoc or do other academic things if you want to continue in research. You can do applied research or R&D as well.

But first take that vacation! Sometime you have to get out of your situation to get perspective.
But after a few tens of meters in the air we see a noise signal. [...] The noise signal is on GPS L1 (1575.42 MHz) with 1 MHz bandwidth, see Figure 3-5.

So the signal is jammed by something sending a noise signal around the L1 frequency, whether intentionally or not.
>We have university professors condemning math, reason, and objectivity as inherently racist/sexist.

I agree with you completely on this, but do you have some sources for it? I'd be really interested to see how widespread the problem is, exactly.

>We assume that tech is susceptible to horrible gender/racial biases for lacking even distribution of races/genders, but somehow newsrooms and sociology departments are immune to this while being somewhere north of 90:10 liberal:conservative (especially when we know that political bias is much stronger than racial or gender bias).

This is a feature, not a bug. If you're a leftist, at least - this is the true purpose of the "diversity" push to remove white men from positions of power and replace them with left-leaning white women[0] and non-white minorities[1]. It is happening in tech specifically (and not any other male-dominated profession like truck driving, or female-oriented profession like nursing and kindergarten teaching) because tech companies have a vast amount of power and influence, and leftists want to stuff positions of power within those companies with people who will support them.

>These biases are certainly responsible for creating or fostering distrust for these institutions. Why should anyone believe anything about social justice when it is distorted once by a 90:10 sociology department and then again by a 90:10 newsroom?

"Social justice" is a fancy word for radical leftism. Again, it mostly seems to revolve around removing white men from positions of power, and replacing them with people of a more left-leaning demographic.

> You're getting downvoted because you're asserting your opinion as a global truth. There is no universal law dictating how software freelancers should work.

No, there isn't but my point is that in case

- you're not responsible for your own marketing and sales

- you don't differentiate yourself from other service providers

- you're marketed by a third party as an anonymous set of technical acronyms

how does that justify becoming a freelancer in the first place? Simply for the higher rate and so your employer can save social security costs? That's not how self-employment is intended by the law. In that case, you're more likely to be an employee. Some countries even try to recoup social security payments on that basis.
Would grad schools recruit more Americans if

a) their international intake was capped

b) they were forced to offer more livable stipends

c) the odds to get tenure track increased?

Grad school is a pretty bad deal for US citizens, and so much of that is the highly pyramidal structure of over hiring cheap grad students as below market labor for a shrinking pool of tenured professors.
