The Portland example is dangerous territory, because now they have a home they can rent for much more per month and might kick you out. Then you just lived in a construction zone doing free labor for a year for nothing.

Even worse than that, sometimes people get fired for political donations. Mozilla CEO Brendan Eich was "pressured to resign" (fired) for supporting Prop 8. You don't even have to say unpopular beliefs, you just have to hold t

It is arguably the readers driving it into the toilet. They only make those posts because they drive clicks.

Using "they" instead of "he or she" is a grammatical error in many instances and it's considered acceptable.

With everyone else defending misuse of language (LANGUAGE EVOLVES!) I am sure this is going to start becoming acceptable and correct.

I would stop focusing on finding a co-founder and focus instead on starting a business. A CTO isn't the solution to wanting something developed and not having money to pay someone. Find something you can do by yourself. If you're

Except in the cases where it actually is embarrassing, in which case it is redacted "for national security".

Pricing and details aren't negotiated yet - they offered a price that was 1.75x my wage, and I'm going to counter with slightly higher than that and whatever other stipulations I decide on. 2x for base rate for client meetings mig

The issue I have is that I don't especially want this gig and don't need it. It's just nice to have for extra cash on the side and the work is easy so it's hard to justify turning it down. Is it really unreasonable to no

Thanks for the reply. The reason I ask is because I would be solving the clients problems regardless of other stipulations. The reason for my uncertainty of what to ask for is because I've never really done freelance and I am not sure

The issue isn't that people are suffering direct financial loss or bodily harm due to surveillance. The issue is that it enables authoritarian and repressive governments. You lose your privacy. Anything you do is essentially public inf

I would recommend not drinking from your bidet, after which this is a moot point. Most things in bathrooms have small amounts of fecal matter on them. To actually answer your question, this has never been a visible issue for me in the many

Some people want to drink milk but they don't want nearly twice the calories of whole over skim. It's fine in moderation, like anything else.

They don't even give trials for American citizens abroad. Seems unlikely they'd do it for terrorist #1.

I'm pretty sure if Obama wanted to take over a state with force, he'd pick one with fewer gun owners than Texas. Of all the states in the country, I would have to say Texas is probably the absolute worst one to choose for an invas

It's not like the people doing the work are doing it for free. They're not sacrificing much. The people taking the risks are the ones sacrificing and enabling the creation of something, so they're the ones who gain from it.

I once had an interview for a job while I was already employed. They asked why I wanted to leave my current job, I told them I didn't and that I liked my job, but I also look for better opportunities. My interviewer seemed incredulous
