The best way to hedge your bets is to fold or go all in.

If the success of the company depends on your efforts, then going part way lowers the odds of success.

In regard to funding, if the non-tech founders can't bring in money, what are they supposed to be doing?

If you want to be paid, then not being paid is going to wreck your relationship.

If you expect to be paid, don't work for free.

Good luck.
It's the best contract site I'm aware of. Last year I had a long-term gig for $150/hour and this year had an offer for $200/hour.
I'm in UK, and I've never heard of any of those sites you've mentioned. So it's much appreciated.

Again your logic is nonsensical. Going into a cvs and stealing and saying it’s ok because they don’t do more to stop you isn’t justification
We don't have easily accessible data on previous years' contributions (we'd have to scrape GitHub again for it all), and I'm not sure disqualifying folks based on historical contributions would be overly fair as they didn't agree to that back then.

Disqualification was rule last year though, and those that were disqualified last year will still be disqualified this year. I'm not sure if there was any obvious messaging last year when someone was disqualified, other than not getting a reward, but this year will definitely show dedicated messaging for those users (working on this profile state as I write this).

Apple talks privacy as a selling point but their actions leave a lot to be desired. They collect MASSIVE amounts of data about their users, possibly as much as Google does. Since Apple is raking in gigantic profits from high-margin products there's little motivation for them to try to monetize the data of their users, but there is absolutely nothing that would prevent them from doing so if they desired.

I would give it another shot. Since your history is older you likely need to keep your rate at $60 for a while and complete a few jobs. But UpWork has the biggest market and there are plenty of people out there willing to pay for developers with a solid history.

People say it's underpaid or terrible, but part of that reputation comes from people doing one or two jobs and quitting. Plus, I've hired developers on UpWork and a lot of people suck at writing proposals. I have a lot of advice on that too.

On one hand this implies that the B-52 has been useful all this time-- and to some extent it has in different roles. But on the other hand, when the U-2 was shot down in 1960 it could never perform the role it was designed for. Since then the Air Force has sought different planes to fill that role and different roles for the B-52.

In that sense B-52 is like the battleship designs of WW1 that fought in WW2 and onward. Not sticking around because they are so effective but instead sticking around because they are dead ends.

And pay 7.5%(!) of it to a company based in the US.

What is your estimate on the fraction of projects that will actually take part?

What about the huge amount of highly used projects that are not on GitHub?

I mean … if you look at Jan. 6 and don’t think a successful version of it could happen in the future, you’re part of the problem.

One of the two parties in America is actively pursuing a war on women’s rights, a war on LGBTQ rights, and a war on voting rights. And it’s not the Democrats.

Look, I don’t think the Democrats are perfect, or even that good. But if you don’t think the Trump-fanatic core of the Republican Party is authoritarian, and heading towards fascism, you’re lying to yourself.

Sure, the article is probably a bit overdramatic. Butthat doesn’t mean America doesn’t have a problem.
It really is comical hearing the major news tell everyone, "Look at this number here, everything is okay. The economy is great. Biden is doing a great job," while gas prices are creeping back up to $5/gallon and people can barely afford housing, and there are constant layoffs.
For how much Republicans hate woke politics, I'm surprised Trump didn't have the EEOC look into hiring practices of tech companies. I'm not sure what would come of it (though I suspect there are illegal practices in order to hit diversity targets), but the announcement would have been a political win because Republican's don't trust big tech, don't trust coastal liberals, and don't like that this might be taking place.

I get about 50 of these cold emails a day. Almost all of them are wanting to provide contracting services to me. Most are just offshore body shops. I could very easily hire contractors for discrete work given my company’s posture on this, much easier than hiring FTEs, but there is so much noise it just all goes to spam. What I wouldn’t give for some trusted source of signal to just take my money, honestly, but a cold outreach is likely not it.

>Why would a business even have a "hiring goal?" Shouldn't you have business goals, and then look at those business goals and determine if hiring will contribute to them?

Sure! So, you've got your business goal(s), and within those goals you have sub-goals that achieve the main goals. One of your primary goals requires additional headcount, which then necessitates that one of your sub-goals is... wait for it... a hiring goal.

As an owner of an Archos Jukebox, the differences went way beyond the software interface.

The Archos was way larger and heavier than the iPod, and the build quality was abysmal. Mine essentially fell apart despite seeing only desktop use. Battery life was inferior as well. Headphone output was also much louder and cleaner on the iPod.

Literally everything about the iPod was better than literally everything about the Archos.
Wonder if there will be postmortem. Would love to learn what went wrong and how to avoid it.
I only presented one anectdote, so why does the plural matter?

Do not use UpWork. They take a big cut, the clients you get are generally garbage, and they can close your account (and even keep your funds) for any reason.
Great suggestion! And you earned them a sale from me. Going to try this out to bring my rustlang knowledge up to speed.
What that article says about Bill Gates is that on multiple occasions he had meetings with Jeffrey Epstein.

Do you in fact think that that is ethically worse than using a huge company's monopoly power to stifle competition? It seems to me that the latter harmed a lot more people than the former, and in more concrete ways.

For the avoidance of doubt: Jeffrey Epstein harmed some people very severely. But It looks to me as if he would have done pretty much the exact same harms if he had never met Bill Gates at all, and I don't see that Gates is significantly culpable for the harm that Epstein did.

I think there is something badly wrong with any conception of morality according to which it is more important to cut off all contact with certain kinds of Bad People than it is not to do things that do actual substantial harm.

"presentists would say that woke college students are more moral because they adhere to the moral standards of the present than the imperfect-by-present-standards abolitionists of yesteryear."

No they don't. Idk who even talks about this kind of thing. Certainly nobody in office that I've ever seen. I'm sure you could find a few people who think this, but it's nowhere near the state of the actual public debate.

"Right, but as he fails the moral standards of his own day as well as the present, he oughtn't be venerated either way."

Right, this is currently a position held by liberals and strongly opposed by a lot of conservatives who want to preserve monuments to things that were despicable even 150 years ago. Mind you, the infamous Forrest statue was erected in 1998, not 1870! It's not just a matter of reevaluating in present day, there are people evaluating the Confederacy in present day terms and still calling it great and getting support from elected officials. Those are the people in in power who are sending the signal that explicit racism is still very much prevalent in the halls of power and require explicit counteractions like DEI.

> Quota or not they likely fired a white person instead of a another person because of their skin color.

Again, that would be racist. 'Anti-racist' is more likely that they made sure the white (or Indian, or whatever) manager didn't just fire all his non-white (or non-Indian, or whatever) reports, without good reason.

Getting hurt over people trying to be racially equitable ignores the fact that the default is racial inequity. 11% of the staff had to be fired, why not make sure it is done more fairly/randomly than racially? Because the latter is the default (or at least sadly common) whether you like it or not.

I mean, both liberals and conservatives have some viewpoints that I don't agree with, and that's OK. Where I draw the line is the whole "I didn't lose, it's fraud!" thing that is gaining popularity. Everyone has to agree on the rules of the game, otherwise you're not going to be asked to play.
Is the first problem not the immediate implication of laying people off through an Anti-Racist/Anti-Oppression lens? You have to assume that the lens selected not exclusively on merit, but also on factors like race, gender, orientation, or creed, in some measure, or in at least one instance. Otherwise, the lens could be said the exist, ever vigilant in its purpose, and yet was not required in this particular batch of layoffs, thank God. The belief that individuals were affected due to their race, orientation, gender, or religion, may be far more pervasive due to the framing than is actually warranted; that I concede.
It is my understanding that 7.5% is the cap, which should only be reached when you have very little dependencies.
If you have 20 direct dependencies, each one will get 5% only, including StackAid.

> When reallocating funds back after numerous project won't install some github app to claim the money collected on their behalf, are the 7.5% kept?
The answer is on the site: The funds are held for 2 months, then reallocated:
> A project's allocations accumulate for 2 months. If the project is not claimed by then, an automatic reallocation happens and the amount is redistributed to the other dependencies that are claimed. Reallocation occurs on a per subscription basis.
That's not good enough. They could just lie. You need a formal audit conducted by a third party. Anything else is unacceptable.
Imagine that in 2022 we would be told that we're hired or fired on the basis of race! Unbelievable.
If people don't notice it's "wrong" then it's correct. Language is defined by its speakers, not language pedantics, and always changes and evolves.
Yes, you insinuated that by commenting about potentially wrong news on an article alleging child pornography.

Patreon can distribute 'fake news' until the cows come home and we can deride them or say they're wrong or whatever. But distributing illegal content, especially child pornography, is orders of magnitude more depraved, and should result in criminal charges against the executives.

I use XP 11 with my HP Reverb 2.

The VR works and works pretty well. The feeling of looking around in the cockpit is a nice improvement even over my old standby of TrackIR, which I used to use more frequently.

I will say that I think I might dust the TrackIR off and use it again at some point. VR is a little disorienting and uncomfortable for long time periods and just having head tracking with a monitor does get you part of the way there.

I do find it difficult to "touch" the controls in the cockpit, so if you want to actually learn the cockpit layout (rather than mapping a bunch of stuff to your keyboard and/or other input devices) you may want to pause the game while you select things.

The graphics in XP 11 can be somewhat improved with "Orthophoto scenery" and there is a lot of payware available too, but this is a deep rabbit hole with lots of sketchy downloads and mucking about. Even after doing this I don't think the visuals ever get close to competing with the MSFS "out of the box" experience.

When people are complaining about the declining purchasing power of USD, they are mostly talking about since November 2021, because that's when inflation started to really kick in.

Its ironically, also when BTC really began to collapse from its $60,000 high. So it really demonstrates how much the BTC was benefiting from low-interest rate / inflationary policies.
To the vast majority of the world this is a good thing, if anything - they get oil cheaper, because Russia can no longer sell it to the west. To US this means more money being pumped into the industry, which is good for their economy. EU... EU has already been through something much more hardcore - COVID - and temporarily shutting down some gas-dependent factories will reduce revenues, but it's not the end of the world. None of those are in any way in danger - Russia lost to Ukraine; one can only imagine how many hours it would take them to lose to, say, NATO. Or USA. Or EU alone. The world won't explode, simply because Russia has no capability to make it explode.

To Ukraine, this is about pretty much everything - Russians are quite open with their intention to erase Ukraine as a nation, and hundred thousand civilians killed in Mariupol alone proves they are serious.

And then there's Russia, USSR's retarded offspring. They will likely get a lifeline, but it's unlikely they will be allowed to keep the army.
Bro, Apple makes like $2m or something per employee. They can hire a ton of developers to do whatever at like $300-400k/yr. It's win-win. They have talent, they keep talent from other people.

Apple is at the extreme, but the logic applies. There are massive budgets, so what do you do? You hire.

Startups do this, too. Give an engineering team $20m (or $200m....) and they will hire a lot of people. They aren't just going to sit on the money...
This is almost all of it. Anyone (even incompetent managers) can identify productive employees after working with them for a few months/year. And all the interview processes in the world aren't entirely effective in finding them before.

So if you're flush with cash just wildly overhire and then let go those you couldn't find a place for. And that won't even necessarily be all the "bad hires" because most people can do some job well, you just need to transfer them to it. (Otherwise you have to admit that there are people not fit for working at all, and they must starve in the street or something.)
> Also, you’re in London so start meeting people - go to tech meet-ups, go to marketing meet-ups and tell people you’re a freelance developer.

Seeing the disparity in pay between UK dev roles and US dev roles, I would assume one would do the opposite and lean into presenting yourself as someone who can work on projects for US companies. Curious why you would recommend positioning for UK work.
I see. So you'd rather they delay release? What about people who can listen in the original language or who are OK watching with subtitles?
Dude, I don't know why you're trying to paint me as something when I'm the OP of the thread that has taken umbrage with the layoffs. First, go outside and breathe.

Second, the statement clearly says that it is a part of the calculus. Nobody is fired because they are white or black or whatever. The statement is just that it is taken into consideration (which is something that I have issue with).

Please (and I mean this in the most considerate way because you're on the internet just randomly labeling people) touch grass.
>Dating sites are a tough product to monetize because your most successful users stop using it.

This is true when ending the activity/"uninstalling the app" is included in the definition of success. For other definitions of success, the more success a person has, the more they use the app (within the limits of one's logistics, time, and energy levels).
Training on the kernel is probably necessary, and the Linux foundation course is expensive... but LFD430 is what you are seeking.

Primarily, there were many trends in the kernel module structures, and a lot of deprecated apis. If you just read the code, you are guaranteed have issues with the legacy code peppered in the module source.

Essentially, if you just need a USB workaround, than a user space program with libusb will greatly simplify your life. =)
